Mugabe's Conduct At Inauguration Will Be Taken Into Account When Considering Request To Rename Airport: Zanu-PF

Zanu-PF secretary for legal affairs Munyaradzi Paul Mangwana has applauded former president Robert Mugabe for sending his daughter Bona to represent him at the inauguration of President Emmerson Mnangagwa. Mangwana said the party was going to take this into account when considering the request by the war veterans to remove Mugabe’s name from Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport.  Said Mangwana,

It is gratifying. That is the kind of message Zimbabwe has been expecting. You heard the applause, we expect that as our founding President, he must occupy that respectable place and today, he behaved just exactly as we expected.

There has been a request to change the Robert [Gabriel] Mugabe International Airport, but government has not taken a decision and so has the party not taken a position. It is a request which has come from some sections within the party, but that request would be considered in light of behaviour and conduct made today (Sunday) and going forward.
