The passengers arrived in Zimbabwe using the Ethiopian Airlines Dreamliner flight ET-873 from Addis Ababa are, according to Mangwana demanding to be isolated at posh hotels instead of the available Belvedere Teachers College.

He said: ” We received 65 Zimbabweans from the UK. Available place of quarantine is Belvedere Teachers College.

“They are refusing this accommodation demanding hotels.

“Govt can’t afford.

“Why come from a covid19 hotspot during a lockdown & demand posh facilities at stretched public cost?”
