Farai Dziva|Senators today grilled Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube over Emmerson Mnangagwa’s globetrotting.

Ncube was at pains to defend his boss as Senators accused the Zanu PF leader of blowing State money on his “useless” trips.

At a time the nation is grappling with economic work and the effects of Tropical Cyclone Idai, Mnangagwa has elected to use a luxurious and expensive private plane to fly around the globe under the pretext of a diplomatic offensive.

Ncube failed to give the Senators a convincing report and he literally admitted that some matters were beyond his control and capacity.
