It was revealed that the fan was referring to a 2016 event, where a Pakistan man named Asif Muhammed traveled to Zimbabwe. He is a lookalike of Mr. Bean, an iconic television character played by Rowan Atkinson. Apparently, the Pakistani man did road shows, attended a comedy night, and was part of the Harare Agricultural Show.
