The current situation in Zim could become the future of SA. With Mbeki and Zuma involved in the arms deal and the large amount of money they got (30 million dollars if I remember correctly), they set a "perfect" example for the rest of the nation.
I have no idea how Africa will end up. I hope and pray that it will sort itself out eventually, but I am afraid that corruption, hatred between tribes, neglegence from the West and abuse by the East will return that continent to rubble.
Too bad, I had a very happy youth there in good old Zim. Loved Hellenics School and visits to Kariba and Hwange.
