Speaking of SAA, it seems that S. African president Jacob Zuma considers
flying on SA's flagship airline as being beneath his "dignity". He'd rather
spend R600 million ($51 million) on a Boeing Business Jet to fly him around:

"Johannesburg - A storm is brewing over the acquisition of new VIP jets for
President Jacob Zuma and his Cabinet at a cost of R2 billion, just after
Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene announced revised spending plans to reduce
waste.

"Netwerk24 reported that the three new VIP jets - a Boeing Business Jet and
two new Falcon 900 Business Jets - were being acquired for 'international
commitments' as the president's international obligations have increased
dramatically.

"However, the money to be spent on the new jets was originally earmarked to
buy crucial freight carriers needed for South African troops abroad."

Interesting, because according to Wikipedia, SAA didn't operate any DC-8s.
