- What an excellent article. I was interested to read that he says corruption causes more deaths than drugs... Aid also corrupts. Have you read the following book or come across: "DEAD AID", Why Aid Is Not Working and How There Is a Better Way for Africa by Dambisa Moyo http://www.dambisamoyo.com/d …
Mugabe forces Zimbabwe aid agencies into cash crisis
Sat Oct 18, 2008
- I find it very sad to hear how the suffering in Zimbabwe continues. How long before South Africa, which has the power to change things, demands that Mugabe and the wealthy elite surrounding him are dismissed from power?
Pesidential Debate # 2 Obama & McCain Blog and Poll Who is The Winner?
Tue Oct 7, 2008
- I was watching the debate from Australia where i live. It is very interesting and I was not bored. McCain keeps on saying how his judgement is the better one to lead the country, how he has command ability etc. AND YET how could he allow his party to choose Palin as his 2nd in command.

South Africa: A Land of Contrasts
Thu Nov 8, 2007
- Most interesting. South Africa is such a beautiful country but the challenge of poverty continues. Last week, I asked someone from Johannesburg what the going rate for a house maid was. About 5 years ago it was R2,000 (about USD 300) a month for a live-in person. Since then there has been a huge inc …
