So apparently Jacob Zuma’s Boeing 737 operated by the South African air Force’s 21 Squadron from his private airport, Waterkloof in Pretoria, is not big enough. He needs a bigger, better Boeing 777.

Students and their parents must in-debt and enslave themselves for an education, whilst Zuma, his harem of wives and his 20-odd children live in opulence in Nkandla.
