A successor has yet to be named. However, this isn't a crisis. It's proof that South Africa is a functioning republic.

Alitalia Facing Liquidation -- While most of the financial world focused its attention on the socialist takeover of the US economy, the special administrator who runs Italy's Alitalia airline was preparing to make one last try to sell off the troubled carrier. Last week, unions refused to go along with the conditions demanded by a potential rescuer. Today's public tender is its last chance to keep flying.
