Today is the tenth anniversary of my Father`s death and ten years since I last set foot in the country of my birth. I left Zimbabwe the day after my Father`s funeral service and I know in my heart that I will never return. I will never claim that the old Rhodesia was perfect, it wasn't, it was racist and kept the majority of the people as 2nd class citizens whilst we white Rhodesians enjoyed life, of course it had to change, it was inevitable. But what has happened to Zimbabwe under Robert Mugabe is truly awful. He has taken one of the most prosperous and peaceful countries in Africa and turned it into a desert. Ten years ago, I felt happy that I was able to return my father`s body back to his homeland and be buried there, but today, I am sad to think that I will never visit his grave again.
I'm truly sorry for you, my friend.
