With SAA retiring the 747 classics it would be damn sight cheaper to use of one those. But alas when you're an African president - being prudent with the finances doesn't come into it.

If Mbeki had one of the 300 series he could even boast that its bigger than Airforce One. May be the pi$$ing contest at the African Union meetings revolves around who wasted more of their countries' money.
