Marmite and the Fascists of UK

I spoke to friends in tyhe UK and they are removing Marmite from their menu and shopping list. Anyone with any connection to BNP should not be dealt with. Fascism, Mugabeism, AWB, etc should be driven to extinction. Hope it happen during my lifetime.

Mugabe's New song

http://www1.voanews.com/english/news/africa/Zimbabwes-Mugabe-Denounces-Political-Violence-Urges-Tolerance--91513974.html

Mugabe's Damascus road experience, if genuine is most welcome. He says citizens should not use violence against each other. It would have ben better if he had added the "even if they are paid to kill by ZANU PF."

Mugabe's very late instruction to the nation comes when everyone in Zimbabwe has been touch somehow by the ZANU PF violence. I was there in 2005 when at a ZANU PF rally women were picked from the crowd and raped by the youth in front of the police. Their crime was to be related to members of the MDC.

Mugabe leaves a nation of young people brought up to believe violence is the first

China and its deeds in Africa

Of all the weapons sold to Zimbabwe to be used to kill ordinary citizens; of all the contaminated milk sold to Adfrican mothers to be used to unwittingly kill their babies; Of all the support offered to dictators like Mugabe; Of all the fake medicines sold in Zimbabwe in 2007/8/9 and bought by sick people with their last few dollars; I read about China's own problems with mining and earthquakes and marvelled at how China actually worries about its own citizens but does not care a hoot about anyone else, especially in Africa.

This earthquake made me believe China has people (humans ) in it. This causes me confusion. Does China really feel that its own are more human than others? Is it racism or fascism causing China to treat us with total contempt while showing due compassion to its own citizens?

I feel sorry for the victims of disaters in China just like I feel sorry for those in Haiti, Chile and other places in the far East. I feel just as sorry for Mugabe's victims and the victims of Xenophobia in South Africa. Compassion should not discriminate to the point where I try to rescue Zimbabweans in distress but try to enhance ditress in China.

The Chinese should stop their evil deeds in Africa.

Happy New Year 2010

Very close to 2010 now. Last January I would have taken bets on not reaching this point in my life. Its been a long slog but thanks to my friends and my supportive boyfriend, himself positive, I made it. I feel good. I am not sick. I am not weak. I am not sad. I walk about and look good. But my mind is always thinking about this condition. One day it will take me by surprise and disable me.

This time last year the churches in Zimbabwe were publicly praying for Mugabe's death. This time last year it looked like Zimbabwe was in the grip of Cholera and HIV and the whole country was weak and on its death bed. Today Zimbabwe is breathing again and sometimes taking a walk outside. Mugabe is still alive. Younger leaders are pretending to rule with him.

I am alive too and I can go out and smell the sea and walk on the beach in the blazing sun.

For now I try to be positive. Happy New Year to all of you. See you in 2010.

Promiscuity in Zimbabwe

I was in Zimbabwe for nearly two weeks and got back on Friday 4th Sept. There is a much higher incidence of men and women having affairs and socially unauthorised sex. In the absence of any social rules, post recession, many see sex as an easy industry to join and to take their chances. What I also noticed in the street pilling rubbish is the many packets of condoms left on the ground. This is a good sign that people are indeed buying condoms, and hopefully using them when they need to.

The message about one faithful sex partner seems now to be a far fetched adea to many.

Circucision kills.

The story of South African boys killed by circucision advocates is sad but it is one that is true to how people like to avoid facts and figures and and simple solutions, in favour od silliness and propaganda. Why would a normal caring parent send his/her little teenage boy to a camp knowing his penis will be interferred with by a chap with no formal training?
Parent authorised child abuse of this kind should really see both the circumsiser and the parent in court facing a long jail term. Parents should be a little more responsible and the government should be harsh on those who shouw a disregard for their children's safety.
Africans seen relaxed about what can befall their children.

Rotting penises

The Pope and his condoms.

The Pope is a pratt and I do wish he would just refrain from commenting on matters sexual, of which he knows very little unless he has been experimenting with his bishops or fiddling with his congregation as has been shown countless times within the catholic priesthood, but in the case of condoms he was right about one thing. AIDS is not caused by failure to use condoms. AIDS is caused by promiscuity and the solution to that is not condoms, but change of attitude. Research can do whatever reserach wants to do, but without these basc truths, research is wasting its time. Condoms give false security and in Africa condoms simply do not prevent AIDS because sexual practices are different from those in other places.

• Condoms are not the best prevention method against HIV infection. faithfulness to one's spouse or partner is.


• Condoms do burst and expose the users.


• Condoms in Africa are not a financial priority. Governments, such as that of Zimbabwe give too few per week, leaving people exposed.



• Condoms can be manufactured with faults.


• Condoms are not made available in remote places where they are needed most.


• Condoms are for the rich but are more needed by the poor whom authorities totally ignore.


• African men, and black men in general simply hate condoms and would rather have sex without. When I was working, the highest incidents of resistance to condoms was always among black men, whether in Africa, Europe or America. Other races have no real problems with condoms.

The female condom is much better but many women in Africa wash and reuse it meaning their multiple male partners can be infected while the woman herself is safer. I like that idea myself. I really do not mind promiscuous men being infected. They deserve it. Just that it does not apply to married women whose husbands are promiscuous, and so the women are not protected.

Research is done on current attitudes and the pope was talking about ideas for social engineering and how best to control sex within communities. Those who responded angrily to his comments are looking at how to protect currently living people from HIV infection, a clearly difficult task. In my view, HIV is one of those infections which you do not get if you do not want it, unless you are a female in Africa, in which case you will almost definitely get it. HIV is spread by men in Africa. The same men who hate condoms. The pope is saying to people, "Adopt a different attitude."
