"Planning something big at the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities with Minister Godfrey Kiwanda..... For the love of my beloved country."

For the love of her country it is, Zari norted. Uganda has been missing out on this as companies in South Africa and Tanzania among others make good use of the South Africa based Uganda business lady with a huge following on social media.

Zari is the face of Danube furniture that recently opened a branch in Uganda, but headquartered in UAE, she is also the Mercedes Benz brand ambassador in South Africa and a brand ambassador for Softcare Diapers in Tanzania among others.

These and many others have forced the State Minister for Tourism, Godfrey Kiwanda Suubi and Zari to hold talks on how best they can promote Uganda as a top tourist destination.

This got some to wonder what criteria was being used to choose Zari as a Tourism Ambassador.

Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Antiquities is a Government Ministry with a responsibility to sustain tourism, wildlife and cultural heritage.

Earlier this year, Uganda Wildlife Authority, an institution affiliated to the Ministry of Tourism appointed the 'Sitya Loss' singer, Eddy Kenzo, as a Tourism Ambassador, it is hoped that Zari could play a similar role or even better.

Kenzo and Zari have landed similar deals outside their countries attracting a lot of talk from the locals there. Kenzo for example, was appointed Kenya's Tourism Ambassador leaving many wondering if they had run out of Kenyans to assume that position.

It also happened to Zari in Tanzania when she landed more than one deal, the slay queens there went on rampage, saying Zari did not only take their Diamond Prince Charming, but also taking all the company deals.
