However, Lekota said that had the Falcon 900 been used, it would have cost the taxpayer the same amount as the Gulfstream, because both planes are the same size.
Why did they have to use a Falcon or Gulfstream? If it was chartered then they could have chosen a cheaper option.

Shame on you miss deputy president
