Zimbabwe Tourism Minister Walter Mzembi who has spent almost two years campaigning to become the next United Nations World Tourism Organisation’s secretary-general lost the job today raising questions about whether he will be able to pick up the pieces from where he left as he had literally abandoned his Zimbabwean job.
Mzembi lost the job to Georgian ambassador to Spain Zurab Pololikashvili in the second round though he had beaten him in the first round.
Mzembi led the polls with 11 votes against Pololikashvili’s eight points in the first round. But he lost in the second round getting 15 points against the Georgian’s 18 points.
