Special permission to land at Waterkloof Air Force base for security reason: Virendra

Virendra Gupta, the Indian High Commissioner, said special permission to land a chartered jet at Waterkloof Air Force base was obtained for security reasons, SABC reported on Thursday.

"We did apply for permission for the landing... because there were several VIPs, senior political figures from India who were going to come on the flight," Gupta told the national broadcaster.

"And because of factors relating to security, it's very paramount."

Does that mean our international airport ie ORT is unsafe for VIPs and other senior government folk?

So the security of some random guests is more important than the security of an entire nation, absolutely pathetic. OR Tambo might not be great but it certainly has enough security to keep your ass safe.
