The Real World

Robert Mugabe's thugs chanted: 'We will eat your children'



As militants attack his home with burning tyres and drive workers from his land, one of the last white farmers in Zimbabwe feels betrayed by the new Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai.

I remember an old friend of mine, still living though in poverty, in what was the finest country in the world, Rhodesia, now a ruin in the middle of a catastrophe, Zimbabwe.
He was born in the isolate district around Gokwe, his family struggled to PAY for his education and he eventually left the army to run several ranches and farms in the Central district. His dad said to me, "Engelsman, there are just three things that ruin Afrika. Mombies. Goats and kaffirs, but in the reverse order."
Will those who have never lived in Africa listen those of us who have before Africa is replicated in Britain?
