Jane Mlambo| ZANU PF leader Emmerson Mnangagwa got stranded in Russia, latest details indicate.

Mnangagwa was in danger of being fully grounded in Russia after failing to pay for the expensive private jet he has hired for his Russia and Europe trips.

This was because the company that owns the expensive Boeing 787 Dreamliner, demanded an upfront payment. ZimEye analyses evidence suggesting that the airline company demanded full payment citing fears of disturbances back in Zimbabwe where his deputy is currently in charge and has publicly told people shot dead by his soldiers to go and report to the police.

ZimEye has learnt that this is the reason why the internet was suddenly switched back on in Zimbabwe yesterday, simply so to facilitate Mnangagwa’s single payment.

The jet costs $70,000 per hour. – ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW
