That man's inhumanity to his fellow man Morgan who never did him any bodily
harm.
It is reported that Mugabe paid a personal visit to the facility where his
leader of the opposition is hospitalized. To do what? To give instructions?

“they care very much about who lost the land.” It would seem that there are
good economic relations between the caring ones and those who lost the land.
I have fully digested what you write and am in essential agreement with you
and should also like to point out that in Independent South Africa - at the
end of apartheid – 87% of the land was still legally ”owned/ leased” by
Toubabous and we should not reasonably – question the legality of some of
those possessions. On 31st of December 1986, just back from London, I betook
me to a new year party I had been invited to by a former Swedish model –
it’s just that most all of the other guests apart from an Irishman and two
other Swedish women and me were all South African, and so, I was so to speak
the PAC (one settler one bullet) representative at the party. When I
discovered the national composition of those assembled to have some fun, I
decided that I would represent the African people as truly one of my
grandmothers is from Ndar, Senegal, the other a full-bodied Yoruba woman. So
putting on my best” Guess who’s coming to dinner” dinner jacket and armed
with my instant Eddie Murphy-& Satchmo’s disarming ” What a wonderful
world” smile up to being seated round table for dinner to begin, I decided
that best behaviour here would be to have Desmond Tutu (without the Trinity)
as role –model behaviour so that no one would say behind my back ” the
kaffir was uncouth”
But things got a little out of hand. It was actually a Jewish guy from South
Africa who got me terribly irritated by saying ” Some intellectuals believe
that the ANC is counter-revolutionary” – the wine got the better of me, and
I completely forgot about Tutu.
One way of re-arming is by changing the subject. You could ask as if it’s an
emergency,”Excuse me, what time is it?”
So I moved away – in that bad mood, and went and sat myself down opposite
the mother and father of one of the guests, who had just sold their farm in
South Africa, and moved to Sweden.
Well, if you’ve ever had more than two bottles of wine in one evening and
are in a bad racist kind of mood and you feel that you are outnumbered, you
might tend to repeat yourself to gather strength or emphasise moral
authority. So I leaned forward and like what has been described as ” They
arrive at your table with teeth in a blood-curdling snarl” and I asked him
(the dad) “Ok so you sold your farm and relocated outside of Apartheid South
Africa. For how much did you buy it? How much did you sell it for? And
please answer the question.”
His answer was reasonable and modest enough, but I launched into a lecture
on the immorality of Apartheid, and - before midnight, THAT was the end of
the New Year party. Still full of remorse about that evening. No fireworks.
Everyone went home. I stayed the night….
Now can we peek into the possible future land problem in Mozambique?
There was a mass exodus from South Africa, just before apartheid was placed
under arrest. Not so much Boers ; I don’t think, not after the Great Trek –
but lots of Anglos emigrated to Australia, Canada, UK, Hungary, Holland,
Scotland, Zimbabwe, to get away from what they feared would be revenge and
punishment time from Black majority rule.
I saw a Market Theatre production (here in Stockholm) which included
scenes of car theft – and many cars loaded with all worldly goods drove off
to new homelands in Mozambique, in steady streams, starting a few years ago.
White South African farmers, left South Africa for more virgin territory of
Mozambique which is where they BOUGHT LAND! Thirty years from now we could
be hearing the song ” Black is Black I want my country (/ Land) BACK! #” “
