The South African Defense miniter Mapisa Nqacula has announced that
the procurement for the R2 billion jet to transport the South African
president Jacob Zuma as well as other planes for VIPs has been
cancelled. Mapisa Ncacula was briefing the media in Pretoria, South
Africa.
The former South Africa’s minister Lindiwe Sisulu suspended the
procurement earlier this month claiming that the new defense minister
must review the deal.
The minister says that she met with the company which was expected to
provide the country with the aircracts to tell it that the deal has
been cancelled. Mapisa Nqacula says that this whole process will be re
looked at and all stake holders will be taken into an account.
