Zimbabwe’s victorious boxer, Charles Manyuchi made a triumphal jet-in yesterday following his bashing of Russia’s unbeatable giant.
Manyuchi touched down aboard an Emirates flight at 5:10pm yesterday.
The arrival of the poor-boy-turned-superstar had the who-is-who in the sports sector present at the airport to welcome him. They ranged from fellow pugilists who could not manage a single win in their careers, coaches and administrators.

 
Then came the kilometre-long convoy of cars from the airport that could have done well with a police escort, especially given the rush hour in which the short trip into the central business district was undertaken. It took a whole hour to reach Rainbow Towers Hotel where a banquet awaited an ambassador who, like the rating of the hospitality facility he was whisked to, had put up a five-star performance.
It now remains to be seen how fat a beast the nation will slaughter for the industrious brand ambassador, although it will only take a blind marketing department of any corporate entity to ignore the mileage associated with this brand called Manyuchi. His principal sponsor in the country, Mr T35, have already made a worthy contribution and from the look of things Manyuchi could be riding in car number three from the sponsors, a Honda CVR latest model.-State Media
