Mugabe wants Zimbabweans to learn Chinese
By Basildon Peta

At least that is President Robert Mugabe's plan - to prepare the people for the expected influx of Chinese tourists and to strengthen ties with the Asian country.

And, as it seeks to replace Europe as a major source of tourism, the Zimbabwean government also plans to establish direct flights between Zimbabwe and China for the national airline, Air Zimbabwe.

Over the years, tourism from Europe has slumped by more than 95 percent because of the political and economic situation in Zimbabwe.
