So a Kenyan influencer visited Zimbabwean, and in the end of it all, the government had to officially apologise to her.
An influencer, who refers to herself as African Tigress, decided to pay Zimbabwe a visit as a tourist. The treatment she received at the Robert Mugabe Airport was said to be disappointing. Apparently black people do not believe other black people can be tourists in an African country.
The Kenyan sister shared her laments in the video below:
The sentiments she expressed in the video that she shared with her 107 000 subscribers caught the government’s attention. Fortunately they quickly realised that some damage control needed to be done.
The Ministry of Home affairs and Cultural Heritage issued an official statement in which they apologised and promised that the situation would be investigated.
View the official statement below:
This is to you @kenyansista. Our sincere apologies. Investigations are currently underway to ascertain all the facts. Anyone caught on the wrong side of the law will be dealt with accordingly. Full statement below👇 pic.twitter.com/jx7xh1e0Gk

The African Tigress has since accepted the apology and expressed how moved she was by it. She shared the following sentiments to her social media page:
Zimbabweans 🇿🇼 have taught my followers and I what true love is.
Thank you for the love. I truly didn't expect so much love & support to a stranger(me).
I had a special feeling about this country even before I visited. It's always good to follow my instincts. I love you all.🇰🇪🇿🇼— African Tigress (@kenyansista) September 1, 2021
This is not the first time that corrupt activities are said to have taken place at the Robert Mugabe Airport. Previously, an issue was raised concerning how US$700 000 worth of gold was able to pass airport security undetected. Corrupt dealings were quickly associated with the case.
Hopefully the investigation on this case sets precedent on how corruption will be dealt with in the future.
