Rude tourists fair game for Zimbabwe cops
Zimbabwe police briefly detained seven “extremely rude” French tourists in the game resort of Victoria Falls on Wednesday.
The group – aged between 55 and 66 – were reportedly detained for refusing to pay the USD15 entry fee to a game park.
“They were extremely rude and they even tried to drive off from the police station, but we managed to arrest them,” Jairos Chiona, police chief superintendant in Victoria Falls, said.
“They refused to pay to watch game at Zambezi national park,” he said, adding that they were released after paying a USD20 fine.
Chiona said the group used an illegal cross-border entry from Botswana and were apprehended by game rangers.
