Mzembi kwana – Zimbabweans say about hosting 2034 World Cup

Tourism Minister Walter Mzembi today came in for a lot of flack after he said that Zimbabwe would bid for the 2034 FIFA World Cup. “I spoke to FIFA president Sepp Blatter during the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa and he told me that it was possible for Zimbabwe to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup as long as we keep on having such big dreams and vision. Nothing can stop us from hosting the 2034 FIFA World Cup and we are going to put our bid to host it no matter what,” he was quoted by The Herald as saying. “Kikikikikiki iwe Muzembi ………..kwana wazvinzwa ka?,” commented one reader. ” Yaaah mufesi ichi chigrade chinenge chekwaMutoko,” said another. “This is daydreaming at its worst. Does he believe himself? If he does, he needs urgent psychiatric help,” said yet another. But Mzembi had a few supporters. “It seems some of the junior politicians are doing much more than their seniors by far. We can do it, let’s go comrade,” one said. “We held a lot of successful birthday parties for the president. Surely what’s the World Cup compared to these massive parties?” wrote another. “It is an achievable dream; let us rope in the other SADC countries, then our bid becomes truly serious! Keep up the good work Engineer Mzembi.”
