The catering costs for Cyril Ramaphosa’s presidential jet, Inkwazi, is as lavish as can be. During their flight from London back to South Africa last year after the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, the VIPs were provided a feast that cost nearly R24,000 per head. That put the total catering cost for the flight up to a whopping R569,000, according to documents with City Press’ sister publication Rapport.
The publication reports that four boxes of Lindt and Ferrero Rocher chocolates are purchased at a cost of about R300 per box for each flight, regardless of its duration. A former pilot remarked that abuse of resources on VIP flights was nothing new, detailing how one passenger’s luggage had been stuffed with the plane's biltong and other foods, including a whole chocolate cake.
