Comment & Analysis
BY TATENDA CHITAGU MASVINGO — Cash-strapped Air Zimbabwe donated US$1 700, a trophy and hampers at the army schools sports competition held at 4.1 Infantry Battalion on Friday.

Air Zim officials, who refused to talk about the donation, handed over some hampers to Zimbabwe National Army commander, Lieutenant General Philip Valerio Sibanda. The airline has not been serving its routes for close to a month after pilots went on strike demanding outstanding salaries.

Air Zim is facing collapse owing to the perennial strikes and the debts that have accumulated to millions of dollars.
