SA’s fleet of Gripen fighter jets has been temporarily grounded due to a lack of funding, maintenance and support contracts not being timeously renewed.
A funding crisis affecting the SA Air Force had also seen the serviceability of other aircraft, including Oryx helicopters and Hercules transport aircraft, decline, reportedOngoing discussions on the Gripen maintenance contract had negatively affected the country’s air defence capability, the department of defence confirmed on Monday.
“After a lengthy discussion between the SAAF, through Armscor, and Saab on the contract concerning the Gripen, proposals have been presented by both parties and are being reviewed to ensure the matter is conclusively dealt with by the parties concerned,” said spokesperson Siphiwe Dlamini. “It is unfortunate the discussions took longer than expected, negatively impacting on air defence capability.
Lol 😂🤣 chill there's more to come, preparations of the big announcements that will shock the world.

I get scared when I see such reports. I understand they are done for sake of informing and being transparent. However, they air our vulnerability.
At this point, this country is on autopilot.
S.A. has money is just that is used for all the wrong reasons. S.A. economy was build from mining, now people are misusing funds as if mining is still the best commodity in terms of economy. Even oil is loosing is value, we are going hybrid
Thanks to our black leaders who drops standards of institutions once they are in charge. Soon a tender will have to be published so the same people who cz the colapse can benefit
That's a shocker.

So much tax being taken from tax payers is being moered by corrupt politicians who even fail to think. They'revalways focus on taking without being held accountable. The ANC government really played us.
When are we going to ground politicians salaries because that's the only thing that is performing in this country?
Is there anything functioning well under the govt of the so called previously disadvantaged ones?
I feel sorry for the Tax Payers😕
