The G II is often used by her.The registration is ZS-LOG and the last I heard it was in Switzerland for maintenance and some serious corrosion repairs.The a/c belongs to a company called Paramount logistics.The ops oke is from a previously disadvantage fraternity(connection with family SAAF member maybe?)

The aircraft in question here was Anglo American's G5 ZSAOL. Surely somewhere in Gauteng something smaller/cheaper was available. But then of course you can not take your sister's ex-husband's cousin's dog breeder on a Citation.

Whats wrong with a mid-size, widebody, intercontinental, Mercedes-Benz S Class car? I'm sure there are a few blacked-out Merc's with those cool strobe lights in the garage at the deputy presidency to cart her there. Rumour has it they're quite comfy and have a slightly lower fuel consumption than a G5. Comes standard with cup holders in the back too...

Lekota also lashed out at reporter Erika Gibson, saying that as a former member of the old South African Defence force, she should have known her facts better.

I agree Orca, good work Erika. Open & honest fair communication in respect of taxpayers money.
Who do they think they are! If there were a security risk involved with her to fly business on holiday, why not stay at home and work on her public perceived image, like showing they cared for the voters, by holding soup kitchens or handing out presents at a children's home over new year, but could that show their roots, or, are those now forgotten!
Taking a luxury tour bus, with police escorts could have also did the trick! Methinks they are totally out of touch with their voters "@ grassroots level", now some fear sets in. Few of the richest nations in the world would've been able to firstly accept or be able to afford such extravagance!
They are totally making a mockery out of misappropriating government funds! You see, as I previously mentioned, now the blame is packed on the "leaked" information, and freedom of press is incurbed by this direct attack at a reporter! Terror thinks his shoulders are broad enough, hauw!
Signs of social collapse! Fear the people @ grassroots level, there's the real threat, stop the township violence that have flared up. There's fire in the kitchen......and no fire-brigade!

Yes, refering to the latest thread, it refers to how the press is soon undermining the great efforts of the government.
Even the minister of defence is onto the offence, well, taking offence in the interest of defence...
Guess what, no matter where they land, worldwide, SA's will be close to inspect and to report on the pprune whos was where, it's not always an insider! That underpaid policeman, that mistreated driver, anyone could pass some info, and what is then so bad if these are reported to the press/public/voters/taxpayers?

Can't see much happening, no matter how loud the cries of "Foul!".
Any govt voted into power with those kind of margins is pretty much bulletproof. As long as the SA voter continues to vote on tribal and ethnic lines, the country is fecked...
Problem is, all politicians, by their very nature, are candidates for the final cigarette and blindfold against a wall one chilly morning.
Who do you vote for?

The really sad thing here is that the "grassroots" will vote for them again and again- mark my words- see the results in the upcoming local government elections. These folks feel they are entitled to rule, what are we so surprised at??? this kind of thing has been going on for years- the only reason these flights are in the open is becuase the opposition is trying to sling a little mud in an effort to get the pale faces to go and vote.

So ou Trek Donkie, whilst you're sitting there in the cold sipping your Grappa, what views have you now? Are all these posts wrong or out of place, or how do I read you?

One has to wonder if South Africa is rapidly sinking to a level of corruption and excesses that other Africa countries have sunk to decades ago. Makes you definitely not proud to be a South African when you read about **** like this!!!!!

Gagging the press
I believe a gagging order has been issued in the SAAF which the guys have to sign and in which they undertake to never talk to the press... I'm waiting for a copy to see what exactly is written in it. It seems like at least some are refusing to sign.

"Grassroots"
What I enjoy seeing is the fancy traditional outfits these govermental types wear at functions, apparently to make their voters feel that they are alost on a par.... But they are not on a par because the poor sods who vote these people into power walk everywhere. Why didnt she walk to the golf tournament? funny thing is G.O.L.F. stands for Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden, so what was she doing their in the first place????

Believe Patricia de Lille is asking the Finance Minister if Custom & Excise duties were paid,by the Dept Presidents friends, on their return from their freeload trip , if so where ?? as there is NO customs and excise stationed at Waterkloof Airforce base.

Upside Down in your head ???
You just don’t seem to get it do you ?
Nothing has changed except I checked and found out that Zuma has not yet been tried, so he is not guilty at the moment, no matter what any of us may think. Any presumptions otherwise are reckless. That’s what I mean by dangerous and stupid. I could be wrong of course.
What amazes me about many of the posts on this thread is the surprise some express that a) politicians are corrupt and b) corruption exists in Africa.
I am quite sure you are not suggesting I support their behaviour.

PS de Lille has changed her ideas since she was in the party which shot up Jremy Labuschagne in church. That must be progress of sorts anyway.
