Victoria Falls is ‘keeping up with the Zumas’

Residents of the Victoria Falls town in Zimbabwe had a chance to meet with the former South African president, Jacob Zuma, who is in the country with his daughter Duduzile Zuma.

President Jacob Zuma is in Zimbabwe to represent Belarus at a Zimbabwe conference on the trade in African carbon credits, according to the organizers of the event.

Zuma is expected to deliver a ‘special presentation’ on behalf of the Belarusian African Trade Organization on Friday, according to the agenda of the Africa Voluntary Carbon Credits Market Forum.

“There is a very big role he has to play at that conference,” Nkululeko Sibanda, spokesman for the event, said without elaborating.

Zuma has previously presided over a UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in 2011.

The former president is facing a corruption trial in South Africa related to a state arms deal, which he has denied any wrongdoing.

President Zuma is a board member of the Belarusian African Trade Organization.
Zimbabwe has close ties with Belarus. President Alexander Lukashenko visited the Zimbabwe, earlier this year amid pledges of agricultural and industrial investments.
