Finland’s Safety Investigation Authority (Otkes) said Zimbabwean authorities have been reluctant to share material into the Masvingo plane crash which killed three businessmen from Finland.
NewZimbabwe was not able to verify the allegations with the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe. According to media reports from Helsinki, Otkes director Veli-Pekka Nurmi said they have turned to South Africa to help investigate the plane crash. Said Nurmi:
We as well as our American colleagues have tried to get information from Zimbabwe – to no avail. That’s why we have now asked the South Africans to help us. To our knowledge, local authorities are still investigating the crash.

At a time we have to show people out there that we are open for business, someone thinks its a waste of time assisting with information. Some civil service departments don’t care about relations with other people let alone other countries.
They no longer have the ability to determine the cause of such accidents here due to lack of adequate skilled staff.
