We left the hotel and a few minutes later he followed us into town and stopped us and started making accusations that we didnt pay the hotel and we were frauds and started issueing threats stating he will report us and will not cross the border back home .We tried to show him the proof of payment send by the booking website and visa card used but despite all that he kept insulting and humiliating us in public.The worst of his reaction was when he told us to leave Mozambique and never to visit his country again (we felt discriminated and attacked because we were foreigners).This incident traumatized our experience and visit. ##### Nokuthula Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ---
