NOW who owns the firm called ZIMBABWE AIRWAYS?
This country honestly is becoming a joke everyday.
There are several mistakes that “sell out” the whole “project”.
1. Spelling of Embraer as Ambrear (in the same document shows there was no proof-reading). If we trust senior people in govt to put their signatures on documents with typos, don’t we risk selling the country for twopence?
2. Yesterday was 11 April 2018, yet the document released on the same date is referring to a delivery on 11 March 2018 in future tense. Shuwa here?
3. Aircraft is one of those English words with no plural that is spelt with an ‘s’ appended to it. Most people learn this in primary school.
We are heading no where with this cabaret.
Why all profitable ventures were taken by first family? Funds realised would never come to national purse just like diamonds which have nevet benefited people of Zimbabwe! You are evil.
