Tiffany Hardish who has been trending after being shocked with a grocery shop in Zimbabwe has now decided to experience the full majestic hospitality of all Zimbabwean sectors. She was hosted at the MudiwaHood shop which is one of the most luxurious shops in Zimbabwe.
Recently the “Girl’s Trip” star and comedian, 44, shared a TikTok video from Harare, showing shelves filled with produce and expressing her surprise, saying, “They got a grocery store! It’s beautiful.” She highlighted items such as organic strawberries, sugarcane, and dates.
Some social media users found the video condescending. One comment read, “They think we’re chasing lions and zebras.” Another user posted the video on Twitter with the caption: “Tiffany Haddish is surprised that there’s a grocery store in Africa..? What’s wrong with these people?”
Haddish replied, explaining that she, as a Black American, had been told for years that people in Africa were starving, with images of babies with flies shown to her. She shared that she was warned about violence and war in Africa and her friends were scared to join her on the trip. On arriving in Zimbabwe, Haddish said she was moved to tears by the reality, contrasting it with the negative portrayal she had been exposed to in the US.
Some users supported Haddish, acknowledging the misconceptions about Africa. One user commented, “Thanks Tiffany Haddish, some Zimbabweans like us understand where you are coming from.”
This incident is not the first time Haddish has faced criticism during her travels. Earlier this year, she defended her trip to Israel, saying she wanted to understand the situation firsthand following recent conflicts.
MudiwaHood is one of the most luxurious brands in Zimbabwe who is offering high quality products which can compete with other internationally recognized brands.
