Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport Is Now Official
The Harare International Airport is now officially the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport after being renamed today. The change of name was announced in September after Zanu-PF youth secretary Kudzanai Chipanga threatened not to invite ministers to next year’s 21st February Movement celebrations next year if Harare International Airport is not renamed after President Robert Mugabe.
Chipanga is quoted as saying:
I am repeating what I said in Plumtree some weeks ago, that senior members of the party and ministers will not be allowed to attend the 21st February Movement celebrations next year if the Harare International Airport is not going to be named after Mugabe before the celebrations. The youths demand renaming of the airport and this must be done as a matter of urgency.
