No coke…
We are now told that coke is on ration. I tried to buy one to take away yesterday and they told me this. I am thinking how many countries are there in the world that do not have coke..?
What I don’t understand is why, when a government has failed in running the country, they should not step down. It is their job to provide everything for us and we have nothing. Like a company, when it fails, the boss must be fired or he resigns.
Even if we have the money to buy just one nice thing for ourselves, we cannot. Just because they say there is no foreign currency. Why is this the case? They have stolen our money and destroyed business and jobs in this country. Now we are left with nothing.
Sokwanele Update: The BBC has a report on this as well today - here’s the link.
However, Coca-Cola agents told shop and bar owners that syrup had not been imported owing to foreign currency shortages, AP news agency reports.
Coca-Cola is normally available even in small villages in Zimbabwe, and supplies continued even throughout the bush war that led to independence in 1980.

No cola is an indicator that things just aren’t going right. We have cola in most major cities in Congo but people in rural areas have never seen a coke. Good luck and please take care of yourself!
