HARARE – Two UK-based Zimbabwean models Ropafadzo Garise and Faith Matambanashe made a sponsored visit to Zimbabwe last week for the country’s Travel Expo. The visit was funded by the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority and Air Zimbabwe.
The two models said the country received negative publicity in the UK and “it is our duty to tell a true picture of what is in the country.
Garise said some Zimbabweans in the Diaspora were stifling economic turnaround strategies through bad publicity.
"It is sad to note that our fellow Zimbabweans are the ones who are
preaching the wrong gospel about our country. They say bad things about the
country, as they will be desperately seeking permanent residence in the UK,” staff reporter.
