Sadly, the sun will rise, the sun will set, and Zimbabwe will remain in grim political stasis. Something tells me next year’s elections won’t exactly make things better. But I had to smile when US Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Johnnie Carson put the smack down on Zimbabwean Ambassador H.E. Machivenyika Mapuranga, who insisted upon heckling Carson as the latter delivered an Africa Day speech last week. Mapuranga was eventually removed. Grim humor is better than none at all.
