Meet Joe Black...

Joe Black was born in the summer of 1979, with Zimbabwe on the verge of total independence. Having missed the dreaded ‘born-free’ tag by mere months, he proceeded to grow into a fine upstanding citizen of the new democracy. Not.

What The Hell...

You may be surprised at the colours! I haven't converted to Old Hararians - I remain a Harare Sports Club man. I'd lost a bet to the OH coach, so we had to change for a while. Now I kinda like it ...

Bar collapses onto Sidewalk Cafe?

The SA Press Association reports that a bar collapsed onto a restaurant below in a Harare building on Thursday.

The witnesses say ambulances took away four bodies as well as several injured people. About 30 people had been inside at the time of the accident on Thursday night.

Apparently, the bar was just above the ground-floor Sidewalk Cafe on First Street.

Of course, getting independent confirmation of something like this will be impossible in the middle of the night, without my actually driving down there. So I’ll wait for news in the morning.

Assuming it’s accurate, what a damn shame. The last thing Zimbos need is to suffer when they’re de-stressing after the daily grind. Anyway, the (empty) bed summons me.

P.S. - there’s actually a bar in Harare I don’t know about? Wonders never cease.
