Air Zim left grounded as Mugabe, Grace and Zanu-PF Youths take 3 long haul planes

Struggling national airline Air Zimbabwe is reported to be grounded after being left with a single non-working aircraft. The other planes are being used by President Robert Mugabe, the Zanu-PF youths and first lady Grace Mugabe. Mugabe is attending the World Health Organisation (WHO) conference in Uruguay while 113 Zanu-PF Youths travelled to Sochi, Russia. The other plane was reportedly chartered for Grace who is flying to Russia via China.  Zanu PF Youth leader Kudzanayo Chipanga is expected to accept an award on behalf of President  Mugabe who will be honoured, among other leaders, for “fighting imperialism”.

A source who spoke to daily publication, NewsDay said:

He (Mugabe) used an Air Zimbabwe Boeing 767 plane while Chipanga and the other youths are likely to be using the Boeing 737.

The First Lady left the country late on Sunday. She was going to Russia but was expected to stop over in China.

MDC-T spokesperson Obert Gutu said:

Mugabe’s continued disregard of public opinion to travel non-stop shows the depth of State capture in Zimbabwe. His wife travels at State expense even though she is not a government official. The Mugabes have Zimbabwe where they want, turned this country into their fiefdom and one can just wonder about the effect on Treasury. The little semblance of nationhood we were left with is dissipating with each passing day,

Responding to criticism Information minister Simon Khaya Moyo said:

They must stop dreaming because they have no idea of the benefits the country will draw from that meeting. There are Heads of State from other countries attending and that cannot be low-key by any stretch of the imagination.

They selected 10 youths from each province plus members of the national executive. Chipanga will receive the award on behalf of the President, but the First Lady is expected to attend the event.
