Its tourism industry in a shambles because of President Robert Mugabe’s determination to retain power at any cost, Zimbabwe has seen hotel occupancy rates at Victoria Falls plummet to four percent. For generations the falls, one of the world’s great natural wonders, has been a top African attraction. Now an Australian tourist was found slain in what appears to have been a robbery attempt at one of the most popular viewing areas, a fenced rain forest in the mist above the falls. The spot is supposedly well guarded.
