A couple of days ago I wrote about how Zimbabwe took delivery of a Boeing 777 this week, which used to fly for Malaysia Airlines. Zimbabwe's government owned airline is 300 million USD in debt, so Zimbabwe is doing what any rational government would do, and is acquiring four 777s that they'll be leasing to…

RGM or DJT doesn't matter. It's all the same. All in the respective family. Corruption doesn't matter if the man is defending the country or keeping the christian values alive.
DJT is doing god' s work and even god needed to molest women for entertainment and stress relief.
Fake news makes up a mountain from a molehill. Move along now.
Sincerly, I do not care whatever airline or company will be starting in Simbabwe..If they know the root of the problem..than solve it..if you do not want to..than live with it..
Emphathy and Symphathy has to be earned..and this report does not give me anything at the moment..so Lucky will be trying an airline which is probably financed by corruption?..It is his call..if he wants to spend his money and time to it..so let him be..

You will need to be a white evangelical with Jesus all over in your life to understand what I just said.
Or a normal American with a heavy dose of sarcasm.
Zimbabwe is already a third world country and Mugabe ate a lot of their money....
Then there’s corruption....
Then the wanna buy freaking 777s....
Then outta nowhere, they lose their money....
Alrighty then!!
Benjamin,
Buddy, pal, what are you doing? You ain’t Nancy Drew. Stay out of political intreague and keep schlepping cheap airline tickets!
It makes sense now. Guys, they *had* to buy the 777s as it's just big enough to fit all the public money they stole and ferry it to an undisclosed location. See, no other aircraft than the 777 can do this job. Afterwards, they will even lease it out to offset the expense. How thoughtful.

considering the low value of their currency, it would take an ocean cargo ship to haul some of it.
Now remember that South Africa is trying to out-Zimbabwe Zimbabwe. Genocide in full swing there (horrible pics, don't google it).
Is there anything Africa gets right?
@mike murphy - the Zimbabwean dollar no longer circulates or is traded internationally, although there is a small market in the banknotes among collectors.
The government officially uses the US dollar, although the South African rand is also common in daily commerce. Many companies also accept varying combinations of Botwana pula, the euro, the Chinese yuan renminbi, Indian rupees, British pounds, or Australian dollars. Zimbabwe has issued "bond coins" and "bond notes" that are supposed to trade at par with USD due to a lack of US coins and bills.
It's really sad what has happened to Zimbabwe, and to Air Zimbabwe, who for years managed to operate safely amidst all the turmoil.
Lets be clear and honest here. It's not like Malaysia is the Bastian of ethics either. Suggest we look up 1MDB TO see how alike these 2 countries are. In fact, it's well known that RGM was a regular visitor to Malaysia along with his wife.
Not even worth the time writing about it ! Same old story ! We have nothing in common with them !
