Media statement on the plane which landed at Waterkloof Air Force Base: Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development Jeff Radebe
3 May 2013
We wish to thank you for coming to this briefing by government to address the unauthorised landing of a private plane at the Waterkloof Air Force Base.
Government has investigated this security breach. Government is gravely concern at this violation of the security protocol and total disregard of established practice for clearing the landing of aircraft in a military facility that is of strategic importance to the country.
Our particular concern is that the aircraft was carrying international passengers who do not fit the category of government officials or VIPs on official duty.
We have appointed a team of Directors-General to investigate all the circumstances surrounding this incident. This team is expected to report back within 7 working days.
