I'd certainly give you equal pay for doing the same job. But if so, and women can have a day off for their period pains, then I can have a day off as well. No?

I remember Operation Noah just like it was a long long time ago. There was some media coverage.
I recall a section in "My People" by the then Credo Mutwa Mazulu, that took the angle that the gorge was a sacred place and there was resistance to the desecration. I think he claimed that there were priests that wouldn't leave voluntarily.
On the other hand, I am not sure how much of the book I believed. He (now Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa) was since gone down the use of traditional medicine for treating HIV/AIDS which although cannot be dismissed out of hand is not currently a good substitute for drugs with proven track records.

Some people took a lot of persuasion to leave for sure. Quite what that consisted of I don't know but I am a pessimist and feel it was not all nice and cuddly. Great strides have been made in the last twenty years in the country to treat HIV/AIDS and drugs are many times cheaper than they used to be. But, there is still a large amount of people who don't trust anything but the shaman/witch doctors. There is more of that here than you'd think. Anyway, I've decided I've had enough of this adventurous life but am loathe to leave it all behind. So I'm going to compromise by just putting up my tent in my living room. On the other hand, I might just be checking out a new tent before I use it in anger.

When I was in Harare years ago, I liked it very much.
