Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister, Jorum Gumbo on Monday said Air Rhodesia was better than the current Air Zimbabwe which his government is failing to administer.
Government is the sole shareholder of Air Zimbabwe which is on the verge of collapse.
“Air Zimbabwe used to do very well when it was Rhodesia and that is the past and colonial, and we do not want to be beaten by that colonial past but to excel and do better during this time when we are a liberated country under Air Zimbabwe and not Air Rhodesia,” Gumbo told Journalists in Harare on Monday who were attending the launch of 48th Annual General Assembly and summit of the African Airlines Association (AFRAA) which Zimbabwe is set to host in November in Victoria Falls.
“We want again to be the hub of Southern Africa in air aviation”.
Gumbo said this was not going to happen if Air Zimbabwe continues to fly “two” passengers.
He said locals should augment government’s efforts of reviving the national airline by boarding Air Zimbabwe planes.
The national airline has on several occasions flown two passengers from deferent international, regional and local destinations.
At one point it flew one passenger from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls after it had done the same from Victoria Falls to Harare in September 2011.
In December last year Air Zimbabwe made headlines after it had spilled raw effluent 30 minutes from landing in South Africa.

I think he was shy of saying Rhodesia was better than Zimbabwe.

Everything in our Rhodesia was better than this Zimbabwe of yours. There was no Shona tribalism too – that is why Joshua Nkomo became great. Now you cant be great if you are from Mthwakazi – now matter how good you are. They will find ways of demeaning you using their domineering numbers until you are nothing. Our schools are now a shame, producing zero pass rates – yet in Rhodesia it was all flying colours. They are deploying teachers on a mission to colonise and assimilate instead of a mission to teach and educate. Your Zimbabwe has unending grudges that is why its a failed state!
