RE: The South African Border War - Meanwhile back on the home front.

The decision to end apartheid I do not believe was out of moral conviction. It was a purely economic decision. The country could not survive the sanctions.

very true that.

I don't think many would agree with you sentiment regarding Uncle Bob though...

Zimbabwe has unfortunately gone from being the breadbasket of Africa to the basket-case of Africa under Mugabe

Thank you so much for your comment @gavvet. I do not expect many people to agree with my comment about Mugabe. Partly because popular rhetoric has twisted the debate to such an extent that my sentiment as you call it can easily be misinterpreted.

That is true. It used to be the breadbasket of Africa. I also read somewhere that it is ranked number one in the world in terms of weather. And South Africa is number two.

Where are you from? I hope you have a wonderful day!! Following You!!!
