		<description>I have been very concerned by your lack of recent posts and had become worried that your site had indeed been stopped at an official level, so I am relieved that has not happened.

However, your money worries do alarm me - just how much worse can it get? I am not a religious person, but nevertheless I pray for you and your country.&lt;div class="comment-remix-meta"&gt;&lt;a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('20701','Bill (Scotland)'); return false;"&gt;Reply to this comment&lt;/a&gt; --- &lt;a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('20701','Bill (Scotland)','I have been very concerned by your lack of recent posts and had become worried that your site had indeed been stopped at an official level, so I am relieved that has not happened.\r\n\r\nHowever, your money worries do alarm me - just how much worse can it get?

		<description>Welcome back, Sokwanele,

You've been missed, as have your fellow bloggers. The sharp drop in the posts to your website over the past several months reflects the slow but steady extinction since 2005 of blogs in Zimbabwe.

Welcome back. The voice has grown much fainter in the past year, but Zimbabweans are still being heard. If complete blogging silence is soon to be a feature of Zimbabwe, have the Zimbabweans done anything yet to adopt wearing 'blue,' or some other velvet-revolutionary color, as a means of demonstrating their silent, non-violent support for their freedom?

		<description>Mugabe is now beraqting his Ministers for failing in their duty, posturing that he knew nothing about the greed, corruption and incompetence that has beset the government since its formation.
Send him a copy of the Import and export figures and let him work it out for himself.  Is he not a clever man, how could he not have known what was was going on under his nose.
