Floyd Joy Mayweather Jr's visit to Harare, Zimbabwe follows the official announcement made last year when the now retired undefeated American boxer met businessman and Zanu-PF Politician Pedzisayi "Scott" Sakupwanya - whom he refers to as a close friend, last year in Dubai, UAE. “Here with one of my close friends from Africa, Zimbabwe, I’m on my way. We are working on the motherland tour. I gotta go back to Africa, I gotta go back to the motherland but I can’t do it without my man Scott.” said Floyd Mayweather in a video clip.
The visit to Harare is expected to boost brand Harare and put Zimbabwe in the spotlight. Mayweather confirmed the visit to Harare and South Africa by posting an image promoting the trip with a caption that reads "Zimbabwe & Johannesburg Me and The Money Team will be there next month July 13th-17th. I’m looking forward to being back in The Motherland!!"
