Johannesburg – Hello, it’s time to play… “WHAT THEY SAID, WHAT THEY MEANT”. Thank you for joining us.

As Armscor and the Department of Defence attempt damage control over the (not-R4-billion) “national asset” for the Presidency, we decipher what they were trying to say.

1. WHAT THEY SAID: “Reports that a VIP jet would be bought for R4bn are “devoid of truth. We could never afford that. Armscor is currently seeking information to establish the facts and have the required engineers and people who can crunch the numbers.”

WHAT THEY MEANT: R4-billion?! Ninjas, please. We can barely afford to pay attention right now, so we’ll find the best deal kickbacks can buy – or the nearest Gupta brother.
