U think they would know better! This police car came down our dirt road far too fast, fishtailing passed our gate ready to turn over and crash into ASM wall and gate down the road. It had bald front tyres too. Tsk Tsk Tsk.
Not long till I am back in England now, and it is getting hot here. A couple of weeks ago I went to Zambia in that red bakkie. Got there safe, but smoke coming up through the gear stick gaiter, and total brake failure with 190k to go made it an ....interesting drive. It was good to be there, but it was good to be back at hands in a real bed, clean and with real electricity.
I have spent today with Musa, with whom I spent my first weekend when I came out last year. There is no water in their township, and I had to drive nearly an hour with him to find anywhere with running water to put in a container. He has lived on his own since he was a young child, and is still full of hope and optimism. He has a radio alarm, hi fi, PA cab... but no electricity. He is a sharp dressed man!
The other picture is Musa with mum when mum and dad came out, and we went to visit him.
