#1 A very brave lady indeed. Makes you realise Zimbabwe is utterly and totally screwed.

#2 "ZANU-PF never physically harmed me," said Ms Stevenson of Robert Mugabe's party.

Wow, what compassionate reverse affirmative action in action Bob has. Guess they haven't harmed you physically (yet) because you weren't a landowner, Ms. Trudy?

#3 This reminds me of a paragraph from an article on Idi Amin that I was reading last night. Here it is:

"An obituary for Amin published in 'The Sydney Morning Herald' on 18 August 2003 eloquently summarises the predicament. "Amin's tragedy, like that of so many Africans, was to have admired a civilisation whose external trappings he strongly desired, but of whose internal workings he had no idea, while at the same time he was partly enclosed in the mental world of a primitive tribalist," the obituary concludes."

#4 Paris frocks on the womenfolk do not make a beast human. That was Idi Amin's tragedy, and Robert Mugabe's as well. Africa's tragedy is that they don't kill such people in the cradle.
