Zimbabwe’s president offered Trump land for a golf course with a view of wildlife

President Trump rarely mentions Africa, especially not in a positive light. But would he think differently about the continent if he opened a golf course there?

This week, Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa said at an investors' forum in New York that he “had offered President Trump ground to build a state-of-the-art golf course so that as he plays he can be able to see the big five,” the Associated Press reported.

The “big five” refers to the five animals most prized by big-game hunters — lions, leopards, rhinoceroses, elephants and Cape buffalo — and usually most sought after by tourists on safari in the region.

The offer was made at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland this year, the Zimbabwean leader said. The golf course location that Mnangagwa had in mind was a plot in Victoria Falls, home to a massive waterfall that is a popular tourist destination.

3. I hope the Great Orange is too afraid to go to Africa with all those POC.

While I know Zimbabwe needs foreign dollars, I hope there will be no golf resorts near the wildlife.
