The luxury Boeing 727-200 that President Jacob Zuma charters when the official presidential jet, Inkwazi, is in for maintenance has gone on sale - allowing the public a look at the lavish interior Zuma enjoys.
The Boeing is owned and operated by local company Fortune Air and is being sold by Wentworth & Affiliates Inc.
The adverton Wentworth's website states that the 1982 aircraft has a "new 2008 designer interior" with a "gorgeous paint scheme in navy, white and gold", and a "private stateroom with VIP lavatory with shower, and adjoining office".
The aircraft has 5600 hours on the clock and seats 45.
Zuma has used the jet on many official visits over the past three months to the US, Russia and China.
Experts believe it will sell for about R33-million.
David Maynier, the DA shadow minister of defence, said: "If the standby Boeing 727-200 is sold, President Jacob Zuma may finally be forced to abandon his Mobuto-chic jet and fly SAA during the Boeing Business Jet's next maintenance period."
