No new Zuma jet for now
13:20 (GMT+2), Fri, 06 July 2012
NATIONAL NEWS - The proposed purchase of a new Boeing 777 jet for President Jacob Zuma will not go ahead, Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula said on Friday.

She told reporters in Pretoria the procurement process was cancelled after the offer to purchase lapsed on June 15.

A US10 million (about R82 million) deposit would be returned.

The minister said a new procurement process could be expected in the future because there was a need for VIP planes.
