The United States Embassy in Zimbabwe is facilitating the coming of two NBA stars, Luc Mbah a Moute and Trevor Ariza, to Zimbabwe on August 17. The two will conduct training and development camps for 50 pre-selected Zimbabweans players.
Said a Public Affairs officer at the embassy:
“We are excited to support FAA to host Luc Mbah’s second visit to Zimbabwe as well Trevor Ariza’s first visit. As we witnessed during Mbah’s first visit to Zimbabwe in June last year, Zimbabwe has an appetite for basketball and the skills base is so rich. The United States wants young Zimbabweans to experience firsthand some of the best practices and professional skills needed to play basketball at the highest level.”
Mbah, plays for the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers and Ariza plays for the Phoenix Suns.
