Questions Surround Launch of New Zimbabwean Airline

Zimbabwe Airways, a new company, seemingly established to avoid Air Zimbabwe's massive debt is reportedly linked to President Robert Mugabe and his family. Mugabe's son-in-law, Simba Chikore who heads the broke national airline is said to have played a key role in setting up the new firm, a move seen as strengthening the autocrat's control over national assets.
