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.

Mukurwadziwa nemukuru uyu zvekugwadziwa zviya.We will rather keep the name Mugabe for our lovely airport..Not Zanu PF noooo.Kana musango mungadzokerwe
The best requests expected at the moment is about national building and strategies on how to create jobs for the jobless and discuss issues concerning bread and butter issues
Mugabe was once a bitter person but it seems he is now accepting reality. I think Chamisa also needs time he will soon follow suit.
President Ed is always preaching unity, peace and tranquility, thats the backbone of devlopment
Nharo dzakaipa kuti unosara uchingoita makakatanwa wega vamwe vabatana kuti nyika iende mberi. the next thing unopedzisira wakunyara kubatana nevamwe. my advise to chamisa is swallow your pride just like your failed sponsor mugabe and be involved in building the nation
I think a functioning economy is priority. You can name the airport whatever you like but that debate does not adress bread and butter issues. Munangagwa’s and Zanu PF’s priority should be the economy and issues that affect the economy. What’s done is done keep the name as is and move on to build Zimbabwe.
