Wie dink jy, Gloudina, betaal vir die "gratis" elektrisiteit wat Zim van
SA kry?
Zim battling the impossible
Harare - Pensioners buy a single egg when they shop. School numbers are
falling because parents can't afford to feed their children, let alone
educate them.
One desperate man who couldn't make ends meet chose to pay with his life.
Runaway prices are changing, perhaps for generations, the way people
live and die in Zimbabwe, a once relatively prosperous nation now
ravaged by the world's highest inflation rate.
Economists and international donors say mismanagement by President
Robert Mugabe's authoritarian regime - especially economic disruption
related to his controversial policy of seizing white-owned farms - is
behind an annual inflation rate now close to 400%.
The government points the finger elsewhere, at culprits including
falling commodity prices.
What's beyond dispute is that the human cost continues to rise.
Zimbabwe once boasted one of the best education systems in Africa.
But enrolment is down 30% since 2000, according to the United Nations
Children's Fund, because parents are struggling just to feed their
children, increasing numbers of whom are forced to work, beg or turn to
prostitution.
'Zero, zero, one diet'
Mildred Chizema, a secretary, said she and her two children live on what
she calls the "zero, zero, one diet" - no breakfast, no lunch, just one
evening meal. She dreads staying home on weekends.
She earns the equivalent of about R445 a month. The consumer council of
Zimbabwe estimates an average family of four needs at least double that
to provide for an adequate diet, basic shelter, clothing and food.
Salaries and pensions are being left behind by galloping prices.
Zimbabwe's official inflation rate was 394.6% in June. That's down from
a peak of 600% earlier this year, but remains the highest in the world,
with Turkey a distant second at 60%, said Harare economist John Robertson.
Crippled Zimbabwe's agricultural sector
The economy began to falter in the late 1990s and has teetered near
collapse since 2000, when political violence and often-violent farm
seizures disrupted agriculture and tourism.
The land seizures, coupled with erratic rains, have crippled Zimbabwe's
agricultural sector, which once accounted for a third of its
foreign-currency earnings. Unemployment is estimated at 70%.
The government blames declines in commodity prices, corruption in the
private sector and negative reporting by the international media, which,
it says, has led to the destruction of tourism.
But analysts predict things will get worse unless the government can
reduce spending and reassure spooked investors.
Bride price, a custom in traditional African marriages, has soared to
millions of Zimbabwe dollars in cash and gifts.
A driver with a Harare legal firm paid Zim$1 000 to his bride's parents
soon after independence from Britain in 1980 - a considerable sum then.
"She gets angry when I say today she is worth only four slices of
bread," he said.

Ja. Jy is reg. Hierdie mense soos Frikkie Potgieter en
"Plato" wat sit en Engels pos op 'n AFRIKAANSE
nuusgroep moet net eenvoudig geignoreer word. Kan
hulle nie ten minste dieselfde nuus in artikels uit
Afrikaanse koerante op 'n AFRIKAANSE nuusgroep
pos nie? Of kry hulle nie genoeg van daardie soort
snert in Afrikaanse koerante nie? Ek gaan eenvoudig
net nie meer die artikels lees wat uit Engelse koerante
op hierdie Afrikaanse nuusgroep gepos word nie.

'n Denker! Met baie opinies wat Gloudina sal laat ril!
Filosoof wat geleer het onder die leiding van Socrates. Hy het onder
andere Aristotle filosofie help bestudeer. Hy was ook die vader van die
Akademie in Athene. Groot gees.
Ek gebruik sy naam met respek en glad nie omdat ek dink ek is enigsins
in sy liga nie.

Hmmmmm...ja wel....ek herhaal dan maar wat ek amper 'n jaar gelede ook
vir jou gesê het:
"To do is to be." -- Plato
"To be is to do." -- Aristotle
"Do be do be do." -- Sinatra
Jy klink vir my eerder na 'n Sinatra as 'n Plato.

Goeie dag Ferdi
Jou antagonisme is interessant... Nou wat probeer jy hier begin Ferdi?
Om te sê ek is slim om myself nie te ag in Plato se liga nie insinueer
dat jy dit kan bevestig. Om dit te kan bevestig moet jy op een of ander
manier my kan vergelyk met Plato. Die feit dat die man dood is en jy my
nog nie in 'n regte filosofiese konfrontasie gesien het nie is maar twee
redes hoekom ek dink jy is onbevoeg om repliek te lewer op die bepaalde
skrewe van my. Ek voel gevlei dat jy dink ek is so eerlik maar het jy al
van iets soos eerrowing gehoor? Dit is toevallig iets wat mens aan
jouself kan doen en baie mense doen dit as iemand hulle komplimenteer.
Hulle sal iets sê soos, "ag dis niks nie" of "nee wat dit was nie moeite
nie".
Ek was eerlik toe ek gesê het ek ag my nie in Plato se liga nie, maar
ten tye van jou skrewe kon jy onmoontlik nie seker gewees het nie. As jy
nie in my liga of 'n hoër een val nie is jou opmerking lagwekkend. Maar
as ek moet maak of ek nie die snedigheid gesien het nie sal ek die
volgende te sê hê:
"Dankie, maar dit was nie moeite nie!"
Groete
