S.Africa: Opposition wants Gravy Plane probe

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

The Democratic Alliance has asked President Thabo Mbeki to probe Deputy President Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka’s “gravy plane” holiday to the United Arab Emirates.

DA MP Gareth Morgan, who monitors the use of the South African Air Force aircraft reserved for VIPs, said on Wednesday he had written to Mbeki asking for a thorough investigation.

He has estimated that the December trip in an SAAF Falcon 900 jet, on which Mlambo-Ngcuka was accompanied by family members, cost the taxpayer at least R700 000.

He said while it remained unclear whether SAAF aircraft were officially available for private trips by members of the executive, in the context of South Africa’s pressing development needs expenditure of this nature was an unaffordable extravagance.

The presidency earlier confirmed that the plane was used for the holiday, and said it was “convention” for the state to take full responsibility for transport of the deputy president whether on official or private travels. – Sapa
