I recently passed through Victoria Falls international Airport. An Ethiopian Airways flight had landed from Addis Ababa with more than 150 foreign tourists, many on their first trip to Zimbabwe and most with wallets full of USD to spend in Zim.
What I saw shocked me. Thread:
Zimbabwe requires an immigration form to be filled out by all passengers. This was not handed out on the flight and so upon entering the airport, everyone was handed a form and chaos commenced as people shuffled up the stairs, lean against the wall, kneel on the floor as there was nowhere for anyone to fill out a form. People had to borrow pens and immediately the process of getting people through immigration has stalled.

I can now exclusively confirm that Zimbabwe Test Captain Sean Williams is set to imminently quit Zim Cricket.
I understand that the current tour of Ireland and Scotland is to be his last for the Chevrons.
A crippling national loss in what i fear will be the first of many.
Further to this, the reason for quitting is wide spread. I’m told that direct issues lie with the coach and management which has led led to growing unrest among players- with Williams cracking first.

Take a look at the luxury Boeing 787 Dreamliner charter by President ED on his tour to eastern Europe.
The jet owned by a company called Deer Jet costs US$13,000 an hour to charter.
A thread:
The price does not include urgent plan application fee, ground transshipment charges, deicing charges, special meal requirements, and excess insurance in some countries. These costs can raise the charter price to more than $60,000 per hour.
