Question NW3289 to the Deputy President
06 December 2017 - NW3289
Maimane, Mr MA to ask the Deputy President
With reference to the Presidency’s 2016-17 Annual Report, what was the (a) total cost and (b) detailed breakdown of the costs of the 10 international trips that he undertook from 6 April 2016 to 10 February 2017?
Reply:
The Presidency does not make direct payments for the Deputy President’s international trips, save for instances where use is made of commercial flights (economy class locally and business class internationally). The Deputy President is flown by the SA Air Force through arrangements that are coordinated by the South African Police Service and the Department of International Relations and Cooperation.
Further details on the cost of travel and accommodation are available in the annual report of the year in question.
