Former First Lady, Mrs Banana says she will never return to
the UK, insisting that life in the diaspora was tough.
“I am not going back to the UK. I have decided to retire
and live in Zimbabwe, I even had my sister sending me some of my belongings
because when I left the UK, I was going on holiday in South Africa and I became
seriously ill.
“My visa was now expiring in South Africa and I spoke to
the Ambassador about my predicament and he suggested I come to Zimbabwe and
apply for another visa and go back but I told him once I go home that is it.
“Living in a foreign country is not easy; don’t envy those
that are out of the country. I know there are hardships that are there at home
but I think to conquer these hardships we need to work together to unite for
the progress of the country,” she told the Chronicle.
Mrs Banana spoke after she took delivery of a brand new
Ford Everest car from Government as part of her benefits.
“The vehicle was delivered on 8 August. It was a shock
really, although I had been expecting it for a long time. In the end I was
really glad and appreciate what Government has done for me so far. It is a Ford
Everest, I even bought a shed for it to cover it and protect it from the sun
and the rain,” she said, smiling.
