Yes, the public health system in Zim is a mess - no-one would argue that, I think. But a visiting side would - or should - be coming with full health insurance, just like any traveller should, and that would give them access to the private sector, which is in much better shape so far as I'm aware. It's not only an excuse, but a bad excuse.
