According to a Zimbabwe Visitor Exit Survey (VES) Report for the year 2015/2016, 43.2 percent of visitors to Zimbabwe said they would not come back due to harassment by police while 63.2 percent indicated high prices of goods and services were a deterrent.
“There is need to address the issue of high pricing in the destination since it has made Zimbabwe uncompetitive in the region.Reasons for negative perceptions are harassment by police, immigrations and customs. In order to retain the reputation of Zimbabwe being hospitable nation, there is a new continuous training of frontline personnel who interact with visitors creating the first and last impressions on the destinations such as immigration, customs and police,” the report recommended.
The report survey was unpacked by in Bulawayo Tuesday by the Ministry of Tourism and Hospitality Industry.

Why it’s fake, so we don’t obliviously continue spreading articles like these to our WhatsApp friends:

First, All 3 paragraphs are way too long and clearly written by someone who has challenges constructing english sentences. No editor, even at the local newspapers, would let such stuff through to publication.

It’s alarmist. Why would the RBZ want to alarm anyone? In fact, the fear from pessimists is that the RBZ would naturally try to make things look normal event when there’s reason for alarm.

The grammar and capitalisation of things is off. E.g. “…Apex Bank Governor said Cash crisis…”

That link to the Herald is fake, and you don’t have to click on it to see. The Herald website just doesn’t have links structured that way.

An article about the introduction of new Bond Notes and new restrictions on international cards, that is going viral on social media today is fake. It’s especially going viral on WhatsApp and you have probably received it already.

YOUTHS in Bulawayo’s Nketa 9 suburb are complaining of being excluded on the constituency’s developmental issues, a situation they said threatens to influence them not to take part on the forthcoming 2018 watershed elections.

They cautioned that there is need for platform to be provided that will facilitate interaction amongst them where they will be discussing issues affecting them.

A youth, Sukoluhle Ncube, expressed disappointment over their leaders who she said are showing signs of being indifferent to their needs and to changing and bettering their lives in so far as development is concerned.

“I believe development begins at community level but we are sidelined when these issues are tackled. How will we take part in national issues if we are excluded in local meetings,” she said.

Ncube said they are in most instances discouraged to attend meetings organised for residents.

AGRICULTURAL Marketing Authority (AMA) says goats are in high demand in international markets hence Matabeleland goat farmers should capitalise to generate forex for their produce.

A member of AMA, Martin Maphosa said goat farmers should aim for international markets to sell goat meat considering there is great demand at high prices internationally.

“Farmers in Matabeleland who are into goat farming should start capitalising in goat sales considering their market is intensively increasing internationally,” Maphosa.

He said Arabs import goat meat at a good price which can benefit most farmers.

“Demands for goats have significantly increased with Arabs importing goat meat in huge quantities offering a good price for it. Muslims use goat meat for their religious practises hence the high demand in Arabic countries,” he said.

Maphosa said Zimbabwe can export goat meat to Angola at good prices.
