Over the years, there has been a wide-ranging conflict over the beautiful land of Serengeti situated in Africa. The Tanzanian government has been trying to gain control of this land. On the other hand, Massai, a semi-nomadic tribe of indigenous people, used this land for activities such as grazing and growing crops. The conflict has turned bloody and has violated several human rights. Amid this, the brother of American tennis legend John McEnroe, Patrick McEnroe, has shared glimpses of his latest adventure on that land.

Patrick has been active in the tennis circuit and often comes into the limelight owing to his actions. Let’s find out what he said about his latest outing in Tanzania.

Brother of John McEnroe picks up controversy with his actions

Patrick’s brother, John, has a wide history of controversies. He was one of the most controversial players during his playing days and his matches were very eventful. On this occasion, the two brothers combined for an event on the controversial land of Tanzania.

Sharing a glimpse of their outing, Patrick took to his official Twitter handle and shared pictures from that event. Additionally, he wrote, “Tennis and some music in the Serengeti….EPIC A truly incredible experience!!! Hakuna matata… Asante…to the incredible people of Tanzania.”

It is an eight-day tennis-themed event in Tanzania. The two brothers are going head-to-head in this adventure. Many activists have raised their objections to this event that will promote the disputed land.

John McEnroe has never shied away from political issues. He once met Nelson Mandela after refusing to play in South Africa.
