Airbus A340-313X (8) ZS-SXA - ZS-SXH
Airbus A340-642 (9) ZS-SNA - ZS-SNI

Correct!

There is one at OR Tambo being used for crew training on static and I stand to be corrected there is only 1 being used for SAA operations.

I saw a jet at 16:00 today.
It was to far to identify. Maybe a Buccaneer or L-39?

A chopper over-flew Somerset West, routing North, about 25min ago. Looked like an S-76. No idea where they went though.
