Jane Mlambo| With Zimbabwe choking due to shortage of drugs in public hospitals and the Cyclone Idai currently ravaging communities in Manicaland and Mashonaland East and Central, former Education minister David Coltart has questioned the wisdom of President Emmerson Mnangagwa leaving for Abu Dhabi on official visit.

Coltart expressed worry that Mnangagwa will likely use his expensive and luxurious hired plane at the expense of cheaper means and save money for drugs and emergency response to floods and disaster currently being experienced in Chipinge and Chimanimani.
