Harare - “Surely the gods must really be crazy,” Zimbabwe’s opposition MDC T said condemning President Robert Mugabe for naming the Harare International Airport after his name.
The airport at the county’s capital has been re-named the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport.
Transport minister, Joram Gumbo said the re-naming is in recognition of Mugabe’s liberation and black empowerment efforts.
“Surely, the gods must really be crazy! The renaming of Harare International Airport to Robert Mugabe International Airport on Thursday, November 9, 2017, marks a new low in both the political and aviation history of Zimbabwe,” Obert Gutu, the MDC T spokesperson said.
Zimbabwe’s cities and towns also have roads named after the 93 year-old leader. A Robert Mugabe University is on the cards, with U.S $1billion budgeted for the project.
“…we abhor and condemn any attempt to personalize and privatize national institutions such as the Harare International Airport. The Zanu PF regime, fronted by the nonagenarian, Robert Mugabe, has certainly lost its marbles.
“It is beyond debate that as the Zanu-PF regime continues to crumble like a deck of cards, Robert Mugabe is fully determined to take the country down with him. He now perceives Zimbabwe as his personal property and not a republic,” Gutu added.
