By Staff Reporter PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa has approved a deal for the acquisition of a US$33 million air traffic control system whose tender was controversially awarded to a Chinese firm, NewZimbabwe.com can exclusively reveal. Sources in the Office of the President and Cabinet (OPC), as well as in the aviation sector, said Mnangagwa gave the deal an executive approval Thursday afternoon. The processes to acquire the system, commonly known as the radar, started in 2016 and have been mired in administrative and corruption scandals ever since. Mnangagwa’s decision follows reports that the OPC, in an odd move, instructed the Civil Aviation Authority (CAAZ) to avoid the normal formal tender procedures and invite-only Russian and Chinese companies to place bids.
