Guess whose nephew built the airport?

NewsTime reports as follows: -
"David Chawota, the head of Zimbabwe's Civil Aviation Authority said “I can confirm that a 767 plane coming from London has had an accident at Harare airport. We are trying to establish what has caused the accident. We have set up an emergency help line desk to assist.I am not at the site, but there are just injuries, no deaths"

The airport is operated by Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe and is the hub of Air Zimbabwe. It was constructed by an engineering Company called Integrated Contracting Engineers , which is owned by Leo Mugabe nephew of the President Robert Mugabe .The airport's runway, at 4,725 metres (15,502 ft), is one of the longest in Africa. It compares with OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa, whose longest runway measures 4,418 metres (14,495 ft)"
