In May 2020 the Pretoria High Court declared Myeni a Delinquent Director and barred her from holding any directorship position at any entity for life after the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) and South African Airways Pilots Association (SAAPA) brought Myeni to court over her conduct and actions during her period as chairman of the South African Airways (SAA) board.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.therep.co.za/2020/05/27/news-dudu-myeni-declared-delinquent-director-outa/ |title=NEWS Dudu Myeni declared delinquent director: Outa |website=therep.co.za |date=27 May 2020 |language=en-ZA|access-date=28 May 2020}}</ref>
Judge Ronel Tolmay concluded "This court cannot but find that she failed abysmally in executing her fiduciary duty. In my view, a lifelong delinquency order is appropriate.

In January 2014 six non-executive directors of the state-owned South African Airways wrote to the then-minister for Public Enterprises, Malusi Gigaba, of their "major dissatisfaction" with Myeni's leadership.<ref name="MGneneVictim" /> In March 2014 the new chief executive, Monwabisi Kalawe, accused Myeni of corruption after paying for documents that allegedly showed Myeni had foreign bank accounts worth €18.5-million. These documents were proven to be fake and led to disciplinary proceedings against Kalawe.<ref name="CashForDirt">{{cite web | url=http://mg.co.za/article/2015-03-12-saa-boss-in-cash-for-dirt-scandal | title=SAA boss in 'cash for dirt' scandal | publisher=Mail and Guardian | date=13 March 2015 | access-date=31 December 2015 | author=Amabhungane Reporters}}</ref> In May 2014 Myeni accused Kalawe of serious governance breaches, an accusation Kalawe disputed, prompting Gigaba to state his "full confidence" in Kalawe following Gigaba's call for the state-owned airline to fix its long-troubled management problems. Gigaba went on to state that he would "deal with" Myeni for her dispute with Kalawe. Within a week of Gigaba's statement, he was shuffled by president Zuma to the Department of Home Affairs. Gigaba was replaced by Lynne Brown as minister for Public Enterprises. Upon Zuma's request, Brown replaced Myeni's critics at the airline, keeping Myeni in her position and instructing Myeni to reinstate Kalawe as chief executive, an instruction that Myeni ignored.<ref name="MGneneVictim" />
In March 2015 South African Airways signed an agreement with Airbus as part of the airline's turnaround plan to lease five Airbus A330s. In October 2015, without involving South African Airways executives, Myeni informed Airbus that the airline would be renegotiating the agreement to instead be an outright sale to an unnamed third party that would purchase the planes on SAA's behalf. This raised concerns around corruption by-passing normal procurement process and triggered a clause in the original agreement that any renegotiation of the agreement would need to be approved by the Ministry of Finance.<ref name="SAAtestsNene">{{cite web | url=http://www.bdlive.co.za/business/transport/2015/11/12/saa-tests-nene | title=SAA tests Nene | publisher=Business Day | date=12 November 2015 | access-date=31 December 2015 | author=CAROL PATON}}</ref> In an editorial, Myeni stated that the reason why a third-party rental company was needed was to mitigate the impact of volatile exchange rates on the running costs of the aircraft, thereby reducing the airline's foreign-currency exposure.<ref name="MyeniConjecture">{{cite web | url=http://www.bdlive.co.za/opinion/2015/11/18/mere-conjecture-cannot-fly-for-airline-expansion-strategy | title=Mere conjecture cannot fly for airline expansion strategy | publisher=Business Day | date=18 November 2015 | access-date=5 January 2016 | author=Myeni, Dudu}}</ref>

===Delinquent director judgement=== In March 2017, the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) and the South African Airways Pilots' Association (SAAPA) brought an application in the Pretoria High Court for an order to declare Myeni a Delinquent Director in terms of section 162(5) of the South African Companies Act 71 of 2008.
The application was based on Myeni's conduct whilst chair of the SAA board. During those five years (2012/13 to 2016/17)‚ SAA ran up losses of R16.844bn‚ although it had previously been profitable.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://outa.co.za/projects/transport/dudu-myeni1|title=CHALLENGING DUDU MYENI-1 |website=OUTA.co.za|language=en-ZA|access-date=19 April 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://outa.co.za/projects/transport/dudu-myeni|title=CHALLENGING DUDU MYENI |website=OUTA.co.za|language=en-ZA|access-date=19 April 2020}}</ref> To ensure that the delinquency trial could be completed in the allotted five weeks, a decision was made to lead evidence on only two of the cases of alleged misconduct: the ‘Emirates deal’ and the ‘Airbus swap transaction’.
OUTA and SAAPA called six witnesses against Myeni, including four former SAA executives. Myeni was the only witness in her own defence.<ref name="moneyweb.co.za">{{Cite web|url=https://www.moneyweb.co.za/moneyweb-opinion/columnists/the-npa-should-investigate-the-allegations-against-dudu-myeni/|title=The NPA should investigate the allegations against Dudu Myeni|website=Moneyweb.co.za|date=2 March 2020|language=en-ZA|access-date=19 April 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.outa.co.za/web/content/79919|title=HIGH COURT OF SOUTH AFRICA CASE NO: 15996/17 PLAINTIFFS' OPENING STATEMENT|website=OUTA.co.za|language=en-ZA|access-date=19 April 2020}}</ref> In closing argument, the counsel for the plaintiffs, Advocate Carol Steinberg, said during her time at SAA, Ms Myeni blocked, delayed and obstructed important initiatives to turn the airline around.

Accused of bringing the embattled SAA to its knees, and based on her actions during her five-year tenure as chairperson of the SAA board, Myeni was declared a Delinquent Director and banned from holding any directorship position for life by Judge Ronel Tolmay at the Pretoria High Court on 27 May 2020.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://ewn.co.za/2020/05/27/former-saa-board-chair-dudu-myeni-declared-a-delinquent-director |title=FORMER SAA BOARD CHAIR DUDU MYENI DECLARED A DELINQUENT DIRECTOR |website=ewn.co.za |language=en-ZA|access-date=28 May 2020}}</ref><ref name="outa.co.za"/>
Strongly critical of Myeni's actions, Judge Tolmay commented "She was a director gone rogue; she did not have the slightest consideration for her fiduciary duty to SAA". As the presiding judge she concluded "This court cannot but find that she failed abysmally in executing her fiduciary duty. In my view, a lifelong delinquency order is appropriate. Ms Myeni is not a fit and proper person to be appointed as a director of any company, let alone a SOE".
The judge also awarded costs against Myeni.
The judgement now goes to the National Prosecuting Authority so a criminal case can be pursued.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.fin24.com/Companies/Industrial/just-in-former-saa-chair-dudu-myeni-declared-delinquent-director-20200527 |title=Former SAA chair Dudu Myeni declared delinquent director |website=fin24.com |language=en-ZA|access-date=28 May 2020}}</ref><ref name="timeslive.co.za"/>
On 15 February 2021, Myeni failed in her attempt to suspend the delinquency order against her.
