and now onto Mugabe......

Am almost finishing reading Mukiwa, A White Boy in Africa by Peter Godwin, about growing up in the old Rhodesia, warts and all, as a child of white colonialism. However, going back in the early days of Mugabe rule, the evidence that Godwin substantiated of ethnic cleansing of the Matabeles and others left out of Shona rule, is frightening, foreboding, and so prescient.
