I was driving for a meal with friends the other night and passed a mob
of about 30 youths, wearing T-shirts with Mr Mugabe's visage, long sticks at the
ready. Such scenes have not been uncommon in recent years, and especially recent weeks, but this time I was witnessing them in the comfortable, safe suburb of Highlands. You feel a silent whoosh as reality suddenly drops away inside you.
At dinner I mentioned that war “veterans” had occupied the bars at the
City Bowling Club and Reps Theatre. People stopped talking and fiddled with
their food."
