Ramaphosa’s co-passengers took to Twitter to applaud the president for saving taxpayers monies, which his spokesperson, Khusela Diko, told News24 that he would at all times use the mode of transport which is most practical, convenient and cost effective for his duties.

The President flew on SAFair? Wow he literally saved thousands … phela that flight sometimes even costs R499 from OR to Durban nje. Impressive. I really hope he inspires all of his cabinet officials to follow suit. I know @HermanMashaba also flies economy with the rest of us
