Air Zimbabwe plane, nearly crashes after Kabila departure
Published: November 4, 2009
(Harare)Just minutes after the DRC leader, President Joseph Kabila had departed from the Harare International Airport, after attending talks with the Zimbabwe’s Unity Government, a Bulawayo bound Air Zimbabwe airline had to make an emergency stop after hitting a warthog on the runway.
The plane reared off the runway at the airport after colliding with a warthog and had to make an emergency stop in order to secure its 34 passengers destined for Bulawayo.
Peter Chikumba, Air Zimbabwe’s Chief Executive was quoted by the South African Press Association saying,
“Unfortunately, our plane which was going to Bulawayo hit a warthog on the runway and was forced to make an emergency brakes stop.”

this warthog has been in the headlines for a while now in almost every zim newspaper.I think the only news is about the pig itself.was it injured?is it in hospital receivng treatment?did it die and if so where is the funeral?whats its name?was it boy or girl?did she/he have a family?where can I get some ribs if any?Etc etc etc……….Who cares about the plane anyway? It did not cause the “accident” no editor has ressted to front page.
