TRIP TO ZIMBABWE.
Tiffany Haddish visited Zimbabwe and she posted a TikTok video she took in a supermarket in Harare that went viral. She seemed surprised about what she could find in the supermarket and this didn’t sit well with many Zimbabweans, South Africans and Nigerians. She defended herself by blaming false news about how Africa is. Things are not as they are being portrayed in the media and many people who have never been to Africa believe it is the worst place to live. Well, what else can they believe when Africans are all over the world in the name of looking for greener pastures.
