Accident

Hello All,

It has been some time since I last wrote, for many reasons, not least of which was to see how things develop.

And then the very sad news that Susan Tsvangirai had been killed in an accident along the Beatrice road. Of course there was much immediate suspicion and a great deal of comment. Not having attended the scene of the accident, it would be wrong for me to try and air an opinion on it. Suffice to say, however, that I have attended a huge number of accidents on that particular stretch of road.. and I know it to be deadly. The road surface has never been great and now is suffering the same neglect that the rest of the country's infrastructure has suffered.

I would very gladly offer my services to investigate this matter if called upon to do so.

I think though, that by far the stupidist comment has come from that idiot Mnangagwa. The British? The Americans? No Mnangagwa, ZANU-pf - your backward contribution to the country has chased away most of the real law enforcement. It has chased away most of the engineers who maintained the once excellent road network. It has chased away VID inspectors. It has chased away professional ambulance staff. It has chased away Doctors and nurses. It has chased away most of the farmers. It has chased away most of the people from all walks of life who would make a country work and improve and develop to avoid accidents and tragedy.

It really is time that the entire police "command structure left" - what a pity they were the only ones encouraged to stay!

My condolences to Morgan Tsvangirai. The prices you have paid to get into a position to do good have cost you more dearly than any man should be made to pay. I hope you find the peace you and Susan have fought so for.

Later.
