The SA Communist Party has urged the state to avoid a repeat of the landing of a private jet at the Waterkloof Air Base, it said on Thursday.

"The SACP notes the release of the report of the investigation... The SACP urges all relevant state agencies and departments to conclude the necessary actions in relation to disciplinary actions and strengthening our control measures to avoid such in the future," it said in a statement.

The party also welcomed President Jacob Zuma's condemnation of the use of his name to manipulate state protocol.

"The SACP urges all civil servants to unite in the struggle against corruption and desist the use of names of politicians to persuade them to break rules.

"We also see from the report that indeed it was civil servants who dropped names to get things done unscrupulously," the SACP said.
