By Farai D Hove | ZimEye | The helicopter that crashed in Masvingo today is the president’s own aircraft that was on its way to airlift President Emmerson Mnangagwa from his father’s burial site in Bikita, so to fly him to Harare, ZimEye can reveal.


Mnangagwa had finalised his Munhumutapa “coronation” and Birthday celebrations at the Great Zimbabwe Monument at the time and was now in Bikita awaiting the aircraft to fly him back to the capital city.

Multiple sources stated none of Mnangagwa’s deputies were in the chopper.

Soon after the accident, government spokesperson Nick Mnangagwa rushed to Twitter to claim that the chopper is just an airforce helicopter that’s encountered a mere incident. But footage provided by ZimEye at the crash site show Mnangagwa’s helicopter in a devastating state that could have caused serious injury if there were many passengers inside.

Details of how high the chopper had flown before crashing were not availed at the time of printing . READ MORE ON THE STORY HERE

This is not the first time his helicopter has encountered a mishap. In August 2021 Mnangagwa was coming from his Kwekwe farm, when his chopper was forced into an emergency landing near Norton.
