Passengers on flights in Zimbabwe were reportedly issued boarding passes penned in blue ink, a practice that has drawn attention in the age of digital check-ins and automated boarding processes.

Some passengers found the handwritten passes quirky or amusing, while others raised concerns about the airline's operational efficiency.

Dr Alexander Rusero, a Zimbabwean international relations analyst, shared his experience on social media, saying, “This is a false start! Why don't you partner with universities or polytechnics to come up with something as simple as a well-designed boarding pass, even an electronic one? This is hilarious!”
