President Cyril Ramaphosa says ministers will brief the nation soon on the processes followed to facilitate United Arab Emirates (UAE) President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and his family's landing in the Eastern Cape. TimesLIVE reported that Ramaphosa assured the nation due process was followed to facilitate Al Nahyan's visit. Ramaphosa was responding to questions from the media after talks with Finland's President Sauli Väinämö Niinistö at the Union Buildings in Pretoria on Tuesday.
The DA has submitted a Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA) to the Eastern Cape Premier, Oscar Mabuyane, requesting that he provides us with a record of decision that informed his government’s plan to lease a portion of the government owned Bulembu Airport in Bhisho to the President of the UAE and his family. Bizarrely, according to this plan, it is suggested that the UAE royals will share the airport with the military and the police's airwing unit. This apparent deal is increasingly reminiscent of the Waterkloof scandal in 2013 when the Gupta family landed a private aircraft at Waterkloof Air Force Base carrying 270 guests.
