In an interview with The Chronicle, Zanu-PF Youth League secretary, Pupurai Togarepi, said they are supporting the call by the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association (ZNLWVA) to have Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport renamed.
Said Togarepi:
The airport had a name before it was named Robert Mugabe and when it suited us, we changed it. In the same vein it is our prerogative as a nation to rename the same airport as we wish. Zimbabwe is not Robert Mugabe’s kingdom but belongs to Zimbabweans, therefore we support the decision made by our elders without any hesitation or regrets.
Children of Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association secretary general John Muchenje said they also support the war veterans saying Mugabe and his family do not have title deeds of the country.
