Try as I might to understand some Africans I will never be able to understand the Zimbabweans. Most believe that they are English by virtue of their preivate schooling that has left them with that horrible accent that sounds like they spent about 5 years performing fellatio on race car exhaust pipes. And most of them still live in the past when Zimbabwe was the only democracy on the continent and they had bread. If you ask any Zimbabwean about how things were they tell you how their currency was stronger than the Rand, how Malawi depended on them for food. And how they summered in Europe. When-we's is the name for those Rhodesian sorts who still fondly remember when the Queen was the head of the nation. And when we were in Rhodesia, blacks knew their place. I have never met a nation of people more in love with their colonial past that even the former colonisers are embarassed. And now that we are watching most of the country rot on the vine so to speak, every expat Zimbabwean whether he be in Botswana, South Africa or even lowly Malawi will point how it could all easily happen. Because they were also a shining Democracy once. They are suffering so they want to wish it on everyone else. They are an arroagnt nation. Conceited. Smaller nations have revolted against worse tyrants. But not Zimbabweans, they're too English. That would be below them. Not their cup of tea I guess. This as lesser countries send them food to eat.
Humbly I would submit that all borders with Zimbabwe be cut off. Because as it stands the rish bastards are holidaying locally, purging themselves on Seafood because it is so cheap here or shopping the SA economy into triple digit growth rates while their less fortunate countrymen are starving to death.
Now can anyone explain how Zimbabwe can ever be compared to any nation on the African Continent? Not even Nigeria during the 80's was as corrupt. So if you meet one of the when we's either toss them back over the border, or find some other way to send them back. Let them whinge and whine like true englishmen in their own province/county of the United Kingdom.

Part of me agrees with every word here. But another(probably bigger) part feels that no matter how good the Whites had it during colonial times, no one's got a right to monopolize a country and make people suffer. Be they white, black or the greys and browns in between.
The people are starving, and all they have left is their lives.Revolution is at hand. The exodus to other SADC countries is only beginning and I pity border controls now.
But yeah, I hear you when you say that they had it good and are still living a good standard of life compared to the masses.
Problem in Zimbabwe, as in most ex-colonies, is the unwillingness of both sides (coloniser and colonised) to let go of the past. The blame game is the order of the day.
yes, ms. lestat, but the common mentality amongst them is this whole we are an extension of Mother England. i just think it time that all the neighbours turn the pressure on ZIM.
