NO FREE TICKETS FROM ZIM

NEW Zealand’s High Commission in violence-torn Zimbabwe is fending off demands from some 400 people a day for free air tickets to New Zealand because of what Immigration Minister Lianne Dalziel says is misinformation. “Some information being reported in Zimbabwe by media there is not correct…It has been reported that New Zealand is offering free air travel to New Zealand and people have then gone into our High Commission in Harare demanding their air tickets,” Dalziel said.
