Zimbabwe’s ambassador to Sweden, Priscilla Misihairabwi-Mushonga asked the government if there is any plan to market the country at the 2022 FIFA World Cup to be held in a few weeks in Qatar.
She stated this at a meeting organised by the Foreign Affairs and International Trade Ministry at Rainbow Hotel in Bulawayo this week.
She said the best laid plans would not work without financial backing.
“Where we are we are finding that other countries are moving faster than we are in selling ourselves and it’s largely because they put money into those processes,” she said.
“Are we going to invest money in some of these things (World Cup) so that this brand thing goes out with the message? Otherwise there will be all this good work that you have spoken about, but without putting money into it you will find that that’s where we are lacking.”
Information Minister Monica Mutsvangwa had urged the diplomats to market “Brand Zimbabwe” to pull more foreign investment and lure tourists.
She said the diplomats had the responsibility of defending and promoting all the aspects of the country, politics, defence, security, culture, investments and trade relations.
She added: “Our friends, political partners, foes, and all those that are interested in the country come to you first before they land in our country. You’re the first image of the country that they encounter and as such we will often be judged or commended through you.
“Needless to say, you bear a special responsibility in promoting and maintaining a strong brand for our country. You often deal with Zimbabweans in the diaspora and these are people who play very special roles in brand Zimbabwe excelling.
“The ministry of information hopes to establish a strong partnership with you to package attractive investment information for the development and prosperity of the people of Zimbabwe. This should be fairly easy to do, considering the policies and strides which the second republic has made,” Mutsvangwa said
The World Cup starts on the 20th of November 2022 ending on the 18th of December 2022.

Whats ther to market. Marketing Human Rights Abuse????
What Marketing
The military state don’t need marketing

Dai mambomira izvozvo cde bcz the money the gvt will use for a high powered delegation to qatar inenge yakawandisa by far pane inozobuda after the visit or even nothing will come out
How come opposition mrmbers serving as diplomats balance me there
When u are a Diplomat u represent a country not a party
Sekri Mbodo MDC is not opposition. It’s a ZANU PF subversion arm
Dumi Ndlovu i understand prisilla was appointed during the GNU and was supposed to be recalled after the GNU ,i see this as a move to silence opposition voice in the country by Zanu pf
Sekri Mbodo that’s democracy not party politics
Sekri Mbodo you are wrong she was deployed after GNU
Allen Siriva even during G.N.U….research
Sekri Mbodo hilarious
Sekri Mbodo that doesn’t change anything. Mwonzora and his lieutenants were planted way before the GNU
Sekri Mbodo misihairabwi nanaTrudie Stevenson(ambassador tp senegal) ndovakadyiwa nezanu since GNU.
Kukara mari mbwa idzo.
Yaah prisilla i remember very well she was involved in a scam where she altered contents of her late husband will just to deprive the children of the husband of their inheritance and that case was struck of the roll ,i think on condition that she joins zanu pf
Panganai Desmond Mrambatsvina Ambassadors are handpicked by the President of the country obvious he picks from his party not opposition in most cases, thats why i thought maybe she was picked in gnu
Sekri Mbodo the president is not forced to hand pick from his or her party he can pick anyone to represent a country not party
Yes i know but with zanu pf government culture can you point one who was picked from opposition since besides technocrats
You only market a sellable assert mama,,who buys an economic graveyard 🤷♂️

The only way to market Zim at world cup is to play there you sell out

Joke of a country
Hon Nqobizitha Mangaliso Ndlovu I have seen the marketing of #zimbo in Spain during Laliga games ….hook up with Ambassador and do something …it’s worth it
What is it that is sellable from Zimbabwe?
Marketing Zimbabwe for failing to improve the stadia around the country to match world standards. When government intervenes in the football administration and fire the office bearers unprocedurally. The marketing will be targeted to whom and aiming for what in the end.
Vanopenga mai muhure avo, ndavagadzirise Zifa first than kuhukura uko
No need the country is already well known for poor administration of football and etc
Nkust Madala Skotz that’s a plot to get into gvt coffers

Maybe Zimbabwe is unmarkatable.

Is there anything left in Zim for it to be marketable, asking for a cousin?
The game of soccer does not entertain politics of any kind…FIFA regulations are loud and clear
Jeremaih Mabhena she has become doom since she joined zanu pf, Fifa does not entatain any political issues in the world of soccer
They now want sponsored freight and accomodation at the world cup. Sponsor yourself and use your leave days, you witch.
