  Roger,
  
  So true....
  
  My brother-in-law and family are still out there, as are many friends and extended family.
  
  I have tried repeatedly to e-mail or call them but only get an occasional text message through to a friend's mobile who is presently in Botswana.
  
  Post never gets through and parcels disappear, inflation is worse than post-war Germany (have a receipt for a Coke that's got so many zeros next to it that it almost reaches off the till roll!) and it is from late last year.
  
  Mugabe has control of all media, I can only pray for them all and hope for the best.
  
  When I last visited you could not get anywhere near his palace for roadblocks and armed police. Had to wait for an interconnecting flight from Harare to Bulawayo and as there was no fuel to fly, eventually went by private car after overnighting with friends in the capital.
  
  Friends have left the country to set-up again in Canada with all the setbacks a fresh start entails, but are at least free and improving their lot.
