Cholera
 
Zimbabwe's new export: cholera
http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?newsl...5a1a20081127at

How long ago was it that we had to listen to endless posts by some fool on this list going on about how there was no problem in Zimbabwe? This epidemic, just like Mbeki's Aids holocaust, was totally avoidable, and has been brought about by the usual African traits of greed, vanity, stupidity, and lust for power.

Now this cholera is spreading to South Africa. It would be poetic justice if "quiet diplomacy" Mbeki caught it... but of course it will be the poor and downtrodden who will suffer.

Re: Cholera
 
Exactly Pablo- the mind boggles...

when this does start seriously affecting these extremely stupid neighbours (Botswana excluded), a solution will be found quite quickly I'm sure....for all the wrong reasons.

The 'freedom fighters' have never given a rats about the poor- never- not during the 'struggle', not now.

There are fools and there are fools.
