A Tourist attraction ! Oh do us all a favour and just drop dead !!!
What a waste resources! What tourist in their right mind would want to see that house why not make Tongogara or Chitepo’s house a tourist attraction? I would want to see where the real hero’s lived.
But which tourists will visit Highfield of all places? Why waste money on the useless. Upgrade Masvingo airport for tourists to Great Zimbabwe etc.
