Rhodesia or Zim was Chris Adams’s old home; how sad to read of Edward & Debbie’s reality these days XX

A fabulous post Jake. Your experiences with Edward and Debbie and the recounting of them was spot on and very moving. From someone who has not only lived in Zimbabwe (it was called Rhodesia then) and who has close experience having visited Zimbabwe regularly over the decades and has friends and family living there today, I say hats off to you having been in the country for so little time and for summarising the current situation so well - no drama, no distortion, no taking of sides! Brilliant!

I know of course, having had the pleasure of meeting you, that the Masvingo experience was certainly not a nice one and I am on tenterhooks to read your, no doubt, fabulous recounting of it!
