ZIM AIR SHUFFLE

ZIMBABWE’S Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) has been replaced by a Civil Aviation Authority from January 1 as part of a privatisation programme, transport and energy minister Enos Chikowore said Monday. “The DCA has ceased to exist and all posts are abolished,” he said when launching the Civil Aviation Authority’s first board meeting. Chikowore said DCA staff may apply for posts in the new authority or may be deployed in other ministries. He said the new authority was established because the former department “was failing to meet its international obligations”.
