Cosatu has called for a full investigation into the A400M
military transport plane deal, which will reportedly cost the
taxpayer an extra R30 billion.

Spokesman Patrick Craven said on Friday the trade union
federation was outraged at what he called "another arms deal
scandal" which could cost South Africans R47 billion.

"The deal, negotiated by the Armscor parastatal in 2005, under
(former) defence minister Terror Lekota and (former) public
enterprises minister Alec Erwin, was for eight A400M military
transport aircraft from Airbus at the already exorbitant price of
R17 billion," said Craven.

"Craven said the new government found itself sabotaged by
decisions taken by its predecessor."

It's the same ANC government, nothing new about it. Either he's a moron or knows full well that saying new government implies to the ANC voter base that the fault lay with the old apartheid government.

If only there was a way to let the masses understand that their heroes were out to rob every single South African of around R1000. That'd surely get their knickers in a knot.
