ED Hires Jet From Dubai For Short Trip To Mozambique - REPORT

President Emmerson Mnangagwa reportedly chartered a jet from Dubai, the United Arab Emirates to perform a 30-minute flight to Mozambique this Thursday.

Mnangagwa visited Chimoio, which was the headquarters of ZANU’s military wing, ZANLA, during the 1970s war of independence against the racist settler regime.

Mnangagwa met Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi during his short visit, with the two leaders condemning acts of banditry and terrorism being perpetrated by Islamic fundamentalists in the provinces of Cabo Delgado, Manila and Sofala.

The two leaders also reviewed bilateral economic relations and compared notes on the world-wide fight against Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.

Mozambique has recorded 76 positive cases of Covid-19 as of Wednesday and no deaths, while Zimbabwe has recorded 40 positive cases, 5 recoveries and four deaths.

President Mnangagwa chairs the SADC organ on politics, defence and security cooperation while President Nyusi is the deputy chairperson of SADC.

The Zimbabwean President was accompanied by his Minister of Defence and War Veterans Affairs Oppah Muchinguri Kashiri and were joined in the meeting by Zimbabwe’s ambassador to Mozambique Douglas Nyikayaramba and staff from the president’s office.
