All is well Mujuru tells tourists

HARARE - Zimbabwe's Vice-President Joice Mujuru last week stepped up efforts to rebuild the country's battered tourism sector by telling hundreds of visiting tourists that all was now well in the troubled sector.
Mujuru blamed negative media surrounding the country's land reforms for the collapse

of the tourism sector over the past six years.
“Our land reform programme is now part of our history . . . I am happy to say that the issue has now been taken to its logical conclusion. May I therefore reassure our visitors from all the four corners of the world that you are welcome, you are safe, you are secure and you are free to move around in Zimbabwe,” she said.
But Mujuru’s reassurances come amid reports of continuing chaos on commercial farms around the country with fresh evictions having been reported in Manicaland and Mashonaland provinces only last month.
Zimbabwe’s tourism sector, which was the third biggest foreign currency earner before 2000, has been in the doldrums over the past six years after tourists shunned the country because of violence most critics blame on ruling party supporters. – ZimOnline
