        The President sells cattle to raise $1m and then spends $36m in travel in just 10 months. Help me with the maths here. #ThisFlag🇿🇼 #SaveZimpic.twitter.com/k3Pnchqnwl

        The issue is not about mugabe and Zimbabweans. We were sighting his efforts to having a free A.U.

        For an organisation like the AU to accept a donation of $1m from a country that cannot afford to pay its civil servants is highly immoral.
