Mugabe makes move to acquire airline

Opposition People’s Democratic Party has said President Robert Mugabe’s intention to be the first State president in the world to own an airline showed unbridled ambition and shocking greed.

A report published in last week’s Financial Gazette indicates that Mugabe went and negotiated the deal on behalf of the Zimbabwean government.

“That a deal can be negotiated on behalf of the State and then turned into a family entity is criminal, Zimbabweans must be angry.

“The source of funds being used to purchase the jets must be disclosed, if the Mugabes are buying the planes using their own money, then an investigation must be opened on their source of funds,” PDP spokesperson Jacob Mafume said.

“The law of the land does not allow a president to use his official position for personal gain.” Daily News
