In Harare we’ve had several downpours since Friday. Today is overcast with intermittent drizzle. And that’s where this weather report ends. So there’s water all around except here at work where there’s none in our taps. Usually we rely on a couple of rickety taps in the car park to fill two white plastic 5l containers but today even they’ve run dry. Apparently though we can buy water from a shop nearby for US$2 per litre. Remember all those Zanu PF election posters and T-shirts with the slogan . . . 100% empowerment . . . according to Bob the Birthday Boy, that means a Zimbabwe with no water, no jobs and barely a meal a day.
