I can feel the winds of change blowing…
March 27th, 2005
Yesterday’s rally was amaaaazing. We were conspicuous by our pale faces and what a fabulous welcome we received from a happy bunch of Bulawayo MDC supporters. I wish the other whities in this country would stop being so afraid, kill their victim complexes and get out with our fellow countrymen to end evil.
I was pleasantly surprised by the cops there, a few stood stony faced and long suffering, some helped usher vehicles into the car park and you could see many itched to fling their open hands up, joining the
crowd in welcoming democracy. At last they realize they are working for their children, not the government that treats them like dirt. I can feel the winds of change blowing …
A bit of humour. On the way to yesterday’s rally, I was chuffed to find myself driving behind David Coltart envoy. One of their enthusiastic numbers was so busy waving to pedestrians, he was taken unawares when the truck he was in moved off from a traffic light. He fell out the back, unhurt, picked himself up and ran after the vehicle. He was too slow but luckily, Mrs Coltart was coming up behind him and scooped him up.
The comedy not over, he jumped out of her vehicle at the next traffic light to jump back into the back of the truck, but he was too slow! Once again he was saved by the MP’s good wife.
