Poll: if Britain's Prime Minister gets a jet, shouldn't our President too?

Yes, the World Bank ranks the United Kingdom's GDP at $2, 95 billion USD (about R41 trillion) while South Africa's stands at $350 million USD (about R4,9 billion). The differences in numbers alone between the two nations alone is staggering. Yet, while President Jacob Zuma has commissioned a R4 billion jet, the UK has commissioned one for use by Prime Minister David Cameron and his senior ministers.
