Seems as though the ANC is changing presidents faster than I change heels; one minute your up, the next you're a discarded kitten-heel shoved under the bed to collect the dusts of your political sins. You have to feel bad for Mbeki; he probably thought all this hand shaking with Zim would cast him as a modern-day St. Peter. I guess the ANC wants another rock quite badly and Mbeki will be leaving soon.Being American, my brain doesn't yet grasp the suddeness of it all. And, I ask questions like: Will the government collapse? Will there be riots in the streets? Most important--Will the airports be affected, thus altering my fly-out plans and leaving me stranded in an African country where I only speak English, have the wrong colour skin, and am AMERICAN for crying out loud?!! (Yes, the 9/11 terror propoganda team did a number on us Americans!!)
I'm sure the country will remain beautiful, the government a bit akward as suits African politics, and the people as freindly as ever.
