DA
Shadow Minister of Defence and Military Veterans David Maynier says it is outrageous
that at the very year the minister of finance announces a war on waste,
particularly cost-cutting on travel and subsistence, President Jacob Zuma and
the Cabinet is going to spend two billion rand on three new private jets.
Maynier
said in the end it is simply wrong to spend two billion rand on new VIP jets
when so many people in our country are poor.
