However, at the plane’s delivery event, Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, Patrick Chinamasa said aid that the plane belongs to the Republic of Zimbabwe and categorically stated that it did not belong to the former first family. He revealed that the planes had actually been purchased using State funds.

The company registration documents, however, say that the directors are local.
