Zimbabwe’s national rugby team have been forced to sleep on the streets of Tunisia as they prepare for their match this weekend.
The Zimbabweans, who lost 45-36 to Kenya in a Rugby World Cup qualifier last weekend, are in the north African country this week where they will be looking to get their qualifying campaign back on track.
However, their preparation for the match has been hampered, allegedly as a result of appalling accommodation and a lack of funds.
Images have surfaced on social media (see below) of the team, coached by former Springbok coach Peter de Villiers, lying and sleeping on the streets.
Other reports indicated that they were held up at the airport for hours when authorities took their passports after they were unable to pay a visa fee.
