Zimbabwe vows not to revenge Liberian ill treatment


by Moyo Roy



While 2010 will be remembered by some as a year in which the Zimbabwean soccer team fell prey to ill-treatment in the terrains of Liberia, the Zimbabwean spirit of doing good has once again been re-ignited after the Liberia soccer team received a warm welcome at the Harare International Airport before being whisked away to Pandhari Lodge in Glen Lorne.

Zimbabwe national soccer team manager, Shariff Mussa, who has traveled with the Warriors to several African destinations, indicated that hospitality is inherent in Zimbabweans, despite whatever conditions they may be exposed to.

While some may be tempted into advocating for revenge, it appears evident the country's tradition of warm reception is a behavioral trait that is deep rooted.

Zimbabwe's culture of hospitality towards visitors has once again come to the fore at a time revenge mongers would have calculated doing otherwise.

The country's hospitality towards visiting brothers and sisters has for long been a Zimbabwean tradition. Black or white foreign visitors often find comfort in traveling to Zimbabwe, be it for holiday, business or sport.
