Pole Pole In Zimbabwe jaws them small birds
The smell of dead bird spreads in the bus. Our fellow passengers eat small birds like it was candy. evergreen line For a dollar you get ten scrawny bird bodies packaged in a plastic bag along with a chili twig. When the car stops and the engine falls silent sounds of the frill bones and beaks that snap.
We are in Chimanimani, a village in the south of the Zimbabwean evergreen line highlands. evergreen line The village is known for its high mountains, waterfalls and cultural festival to be held here in August each year. As with Hifa Harare is the foreign capital that ensures that the festival exists at all, and among other Swedish embassy helps get hit West African artists to träscenen on the large lawn, next door to the bank, police station and MDC regional office. - During the festival there will so many people to Chimanimani that you can not even come up on the streets, says Livingstone and illustrates by pushing down flat against the wall.
The excitable Zimbabwe since that grabs us seconds after we stepped off the bus turns out to be southern Africa's response to aspirin man. He is everywhere and nowhere, but rather to relieve pain and fever, he sucks the life out of us completely. When we explain that we have to eat before we do anything else, he leaves us reluctantly, only to show up at the restaurant where we just had time to order sadza with spinach five minutes later.
Livingstone is the exception in the soporific lunken is Chimanimani between festival seasons. The bar, restaurant and ölcaféet together three guests and the most exciting thing that happens is when the party people and intelligence evergreen line gathered at the hotel to see the Chelsea-Manchester United. Local politicians are being Man U and CIO boss in shiny suit, skinny tie and a sparkling stone on the little finger is Chelsea fan. They seem to thrive until nicely together, or as George who works for the state telephone company explains: - Just as intelligence is dependent on our services, do local leaders evergreen line and CIOs each other.
In the wilderness center at the foot of the mountain like neither the intelligence or the phone company that comes to charge for a line that has not worked for months. We set off up the mountain park after the nurses' evergreen line instructions: follow the zero marks and keep right. Below us in the valley looming Roy Bennett's old farm. 2008 Bennett, one of the opposition leaders who were thrown in jail and beaten by Mugabe's party people. When he was released Mugabe refused to let him take the place of Deputy Minister in the government. Today Bennett lives in South Africa and we are advised to not mention his name or ask for directions to the farm, especially on the eve of the celebration of independence from Britain.
The landscape is certainly adorable beautiful and it's not hard to understand why anyone wants to get hold of a farm right here. On the way home we pick guavas and ends up in the middle of a koflock who herded home by the village kids. Guava exploding in the bag and we ask George about the small birds who tell me they caught with glue. - When the birds sit on tree branches stuck in the glue. After that you just have to pick them.
Back in the small birds chewing the bus, we set off towards Harare and Independence Day celebrations. We realize that we have utilized Houaris hospitality a little too long and moving into a new palace in Avondale with even larger pool, garden evergreen line and fridge. Here we hang on for a few days, gathering strength for a new bout with Sheila and the staff of the Angolan Embassy in Windhoek.
