Zimbabwe an embarrassment, says Mayor

Bernard Manyenyeni Harare mayor yesterday said the country needed serious rebranding as its image had been tarnished internationally.

Manyenyeni claimed he had been humiliated whenever he attended international conferences with different people, saying Zimbabwe needed "cleansing" as its image was bad.

Manyenyeni claimed there had been several incidents where he had been mocked during international meetings. His recent trip was to South Africa.

President Robert Mugabe was also recently humiliated by a Nigerian journalist where he was questioned on issues to do with the "bad image" of the country.
