Outcry over absent Mugabe

MDC formations yesterday accused President Robert Mugabe of being insensitive and leaving the country  on autopilot while on an extended holiday to the Far East a time Zimbabwe is facing an emergency due to flooding disasters and shortage of agricultural inputs.

Hundreds of families across the country were last week left homeless as the country experienced flashfloods that swept away their homes.

The homes collapsed or were swept away in Muzarabani, Mbire, Hurungwe, Harare and other low-lying areas around the country.

But families were still stranded as government has not yet provided them with relief tents and food.
