She doesn’t knock, but that’s fine by me. She has a machete in one hand, home-grown citrus in the other. For $125 a night, I’ve been renting her two-bedroom, two-bath hideaway, which I’ve had to pry myself away from each morning.

But Prince Harry, who has been fighting the Taliban for the past two and a half months in Helmand, shrugged off the danger, saying that, as a member of the Royal Family, he was used to threats. He also rejected the idea that he would have to beef up his own security on his return to Britain.

GA_googleFillSlot(”AllAfrica_Story_Inset”); Rwanda and Burundi were not given a bye to the first round as they will have to play preliminary rounds whose winner will face Sudan in the first round tie.

Zimbabwe: March 29 - Citizens Shall Speak Freely

For our purposes, the Sadc initiative was a great success, and we go along with the words of advice of the South African government that the Zimbabwean sides need to talk more now than before. The question remaining on many people’s minds would be the extent to which an external hand is influencing some unexplained wayward behaviour by the opposition. That is primarily the reason why the Zimbabwean people have for long been decrying the dearth of patriotic opposition with the capacity to come up with a national agenda and home grown solutions to our problems.

Seven years of drought coupled with a severe shortage of foreign currency and a hyper-inflationary environment have created a very hostile environment to business operations with a resultant reduced export capacity. A burdensome sanctions regime from the EU, the US, Australia, New Zealand among other countries has denied the country access to the much-needed lines of credit.
