ZIMBABWE - What a hovel. From our point of view we can only thank our lucky stars that we went last year and not this year. Although, as yet,nothing has really degenerated into a Kenya type disaster, but it is on the cards. My thoughts are that South Africa have put the hard word on Mugabe, as they are frightened if anything did fall apart, it would see a thousand times the current number of people will try to flee into South Africa. Will he go - who knows. Will his replacement be any better. He sounds alright but on past African performance - nobody would hold out much hope after the first few years.
We went to the Quiz evening last night and one of the teams was called The Mugabe Note Counters!
They have changed the system at the Quiz Evening to $4-00 per person, up from $2-00 but have introduced 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes. Additionally, the monthly DVD player draw and the final Jackpot Question remain so it seems a better deal - especially as we came 3rd last night with our team The Mongs. Why the Mongs? I can't quite remember but when we were driving down a few weeks ago we were talking something about Ming the Merciless of Mong from Buck Rogers and decided to call ourselves the Mongs that night.
Telecom have been split. Will it be better. Like the African leaders time will tell but I don't have much confidence.
She has my Bott ahhhhhhh!!!!
