Zuma saves money by flying SAA


Talk about putting your trust in the country's national airline, reports have been doing the rounds that President Jacob Zuma has been whizzing around the country using SAA.

The Times writes that he flew business class from Cape Town to Jozi after attending an ANC national working committee meeting. Although he had used his presidential jet to fly from Libya to Durban (for the Durban July) and then to Cape Town for the meeting, Zuma will apparently be using the airline "whenever time allows".

It's about time government officials started practising some money-saving tips. And Zuma is literally putting his money where his mouth it. Let's hope the rest of his cabinet learns from his example.

Whingers - should they be allowed to speak?

Saffanisms (AKA buzzwords)

Saffa (n): South Africans. Usually used to describe expats (fondly)
Saffagette (n): A South African whose vote is reserved for Mzansi, the Motherland. A Saffagette is not an ostrich. A Saffagette has a vote and is determined to stand in a queue to cast it.
Saffavescence (n): Developed from saffervescence, which is a slang derivative of effervescence. Saffavescence means awesome, amazing - in a South African sense of course.
Saffaring (v): Being patriotic.
Suffaring (v): Having to listen to others not being patriotic.
