#1 That ruling will mean a whole lot when a group of Zanu-PF thugs shows up in the middle of the nigh, drags you and your wife outside, rapes both of you, sets you on fire, etc.

#2 Slightly off topic (but not much), anyone ever seen the French documentary "Idi Amin Dada"? I watched it the other day... a fascinating film. It brought to mind the phrase "banality of evil". I had thought "Dada" in the title was a reference to the surreal, but in fact Idi Amin had a last name, and it WAS "Dada". Ironic, eh?

#3 I read someplace that Dada was an honorific meaning 'grandfather' ...

#4 Let's hope those white farmers got some top-soil saved from the good old days and know how to dry-plant behind a team of oxen.

Apologies for not responding to your query the other evening re Namibia, Besoeker, but I concur, they are a waste of space and oxygen, much the same as the Patriotic Front they morphed from, no change at all.

BTW, a good friend of mine is still trying to teach the principals of ploughing to the proper depth, but I guess that's hard when there are only AK47s, dogma and no tractors.
