A Merry Christmas

.
Many Zimbabweans have no passport but are fleeing to South Africa across the Limpopo. Morgan Tsvangirai’s passport may be released to him so he can return to Zimbabwe from Botswana. How fortunate that the Mugabe family all have money and valid diplomatic passports to allow them to gather as a family in the Far East.

There is no cholera there, no shortage of food; the children go to good schools. There is plenty to buy, for resident and visitor alike.

I hoped that we would have a Christmas Message from the President saying that he was leaving his country for a Christmas holiday so that there would be fewer mouths to eat our meagre supplies. But as he hasn't left a message, let me:

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
May a Mugabe-free Christmas bring us good cheer!
