The City's now back to its rightful owners.Harare is beautiful and world class PLUS all citizens can now walk on the pavement
ReplyDeleteThandi Rizzi. Photographs of Salisbury from 1980 back to 1890 show Africans walking on the pavement. You use fake black self-pity to distract attention from the truth that since 1980, black political corruption has reduced Zimbabwe to the same economic depravation and social degredation as all other post-colonial independent African countries. Face up to your own failure instead of telling lies about Rhodesia.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mr Bullrush and probably all of Africa does likewise

Oh don't talk nonsense... blacks could always walk on the pavement and until the British arrived there was no city... it was built by whites and blacks.
