Mugabe "gets away with it" because it i s the "African Way" ... he who has the longest spear is the boss. Everyone loves a winner so all the thugs and bullies gather around and protect him. If they didn't they would feel the length of the spear. Grace Mugabe is welcomed all over the world ecause she has money to spend.
Zimbabwe prevails only because they are supplied from South Africa and they pay less for fuel and electricity than the South Africans do. In order to provide the electricity South Africa buys it from Mocambique!!!
Mugabe is the same as all the other African "leaders", he doesn't want foreign interference, just foreign money. It is the African Way.

mac only said it was Essex. Don't tell us you went to Sarfend!!!
That is the tragic thing about Africa, it will never change. They want all the trappings of the modern world with none of the responsibilities. They are very quick to blame everything on the "legacies of Colonialism" but if you ask which culture or government style they admire the most then they cannot tell you. There is no sense of quality, of lasting beauty or heritage. Things are built only to fall down or decay. I love Europe and look forward to seeing more. I loved Berlin, such atmosphere, such history. Yet modern youth probably sees no beauty at all. Know what I loved the most about Berlin??? After then 22 years in Africa I loved kicking up rotting leaves in the Tiergarten and touching old buildings. Feeling the damp and age of things. London is the same, there is something constant about Europe which you will not see in Africa. If the people here had the mentality that admires things of value it would be a different place but they do not. I think when you are from Europe you left your footprints on the ground and will always go back one day, because it is where your heart is.

Yes, mac. Three wheelers with two wheels at the front and the box. There is another type with the single wheel at the back but they don't have those. Although the box at the front is slightly less elegantit is easier to convert because the chain mechanism is standard and there is room to get the motor on. Should be plenty of room for batteries and the shopping box too although to begin with I will jusrun it from batteries in the box.
Once again we didn't see them as the owner was out and she has the keys to the store. But there is no hurry. It is something to look forward to!!! I see Tvangerai got arrested twice yesterday in Zim.... can you imagine Cameron being jailed twice when the Election is due??? Only in Africa... such things really do not seem strange anymore, they really don't.
No Eastenders tonight, what will we do?? Have a nice weekend all.
Oh yes, doesn't anyone evr go in the Chatroom? IT would be nice to go "live" sometimes.
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

John, you ask whether no one is in the chatroom - I tried several times to chat with you when you were online, i.e. I entered in the chatroom, but you didn't join me, so I thought you weren't interested in a chat - soory, this seems to be a misunderstanding. Maybe next time I'll have more luck!!!!!

BLESS'EM ALL!! BLESS'EM ALL!!
That really must show just how much the MPs. care about their own people !! They Do Not!!
Now WE are being told the Services Costs, will be Increasing by 40% before the end of the year!!
Is that not good of 'them'
?
