President Jacob Zuma caught a South African Airways flight from Cape Town to Johannesburg on Sunday night for the first time since being elected president.
Zuma had flown in his presidential jet Inkwazi from an African Union summit in Libya on Saturday to Durban for the Durban July. He then flew to Cape Town for the meeting, said the Times.
The website quoted Kodwa as saying the president had “confidence” in SAA and wanted to be where “ordinary South Africans are”.
The Times quoted Kodwa as saying that Zuma would fly with the national carrier when “time allows”.
