A source told ZimEye:

” Greetings I don’t know who to tell but I’m devastated in all my efforts to support our country.

There are planned demonstrations in the UK because officials took money from fundraising and paid for tickets, hotel and food for government officials.

Yet the government paid for the tickets ye team. Now we are being told havana mari ye hotel and food because it has been used by 53 officials coming from Zimbabwe .

The diaspora people are now going to the home office, British government and at the world netball cup to demonstrate against continued corrupt activities.

This might affect the travel ya SB Moyo and Tourism Minister who are supposed to be visiting the UK and they want them to go and deal with corruption in netball.
