So, the Party Conference will have its big opening ceremony tomorrow at Bindura, and I am reflecting on how relevant this is. I see a cholera epidemic that ravages my country on one hand, and on another I see an assembly of people who are interested only in making sure they stay in power.
.
Who will be there? Will Amai make an appearance? It depends whether she can spare the time. Will she run the risk of catching the cholera? Will she let her dear husband? .
Perhaps for her safety she ought to pay another of her important diplomatic missions to Asia. In these times, a one woman "Look East" policy could be an important insurance for us. With her spending power, she can stabilise the economies of Vietnam and Thailand all by herself. She can make sure Vietnamese sculptors earn enough for a bowl of rice every day, and that Thai jewellers and funiture makers can keep on paying their taxes to ensure that clean water is available in every Vietnamese and Thai province.
.
As she is so important to them, do you think they might keep her?
