Zuma jet breaks down, again

[LazyLion]

Must be apartheid's fault...

I blame Jan.

I have 2 serious questions. Why cant the bloody thing break down mid-air with Zuma in it? Why always on the ground?

because they dont want a national panic,
and the plane is in excellent condition and they trying desperately for a kickback...

I would actually prefer Zuma to fly economy, or if he must first class.....
doesn't his buddy Mugabe steal a air zim plane every-time he needs one?

 

[Kosmik]

its quite strange then,
I mean if its the ACTUAL presidential jet,
Id think they be some security around it, and It wouldn't be parked next to all the other commercial flights.

surely its a security risk, I mean Air force 1 never parks at JFK next to a united or AA plane, not without 20 secret service agents next to anybody.....

or is it like that, no real security and nobody cares!

I also do agree with you, somebody going to get a massive kickback should a new jet be brought!
its all a joke to these people, 1 jet (not that he actually deserves it) is more than enough!

On a recent CapeTown trip, we parked right next to it when we docked so yah, it is as open as that.

+1 Beat me to it. Very convenient that it seems to breakdown when parked somewhere.

If you can't look after your toys properly you can't have new ones.

Absolutely. Where's the guarantee that they won't trash a new one.

so its really that lax the security!

I mean all it takes is one crazy person to go and run toward it and spray some graffiti on it....
like pig air or something.....

I thought its a ministers transport or something of the sort, not his ACTUAL plane,
its way too small with the amount of children and wives he has!

Mmmmm... I guess trashing a new one on its first flight will work us out a lot cheaper in the long run...
