From Pretoria via Rhodesia to Mocambique
turning off after Vila Pery
northwards towards Gorongoza

My father and I, after studying map and talking about his earlier drive from Pretoria up to Mombassa in 1956,
not in a Landrover nor Jeep, but a plain Ford sedan.

We were on macadamised tarred roads most of the time in a Mercedes 220

We were going to Gorongoza to see the family of lions who had taken over the old camphouse as their castle with lookout first floor, where they basked under the glorious torpical sun

on the first floor
looking out for their next meal

Moving dark line on the horizon and dust rising up.

on getting closer,

switched off car for 30 minutes
awed
by the numbers

Then the WARS

what's happened to Rhodesia

The Orphan Continent of the World

The future for Africa lies in the African Diaspoa scattered across the many nations of the world. to look into the future,
drop their petty ethnic and cultural differences,
stop pointing fingers, then use the new knowledge and experience,
albiet gathered from others,
to Sustainably Develope the
Immense resources of the African Continent the streched fro the Mediterranean in the north down south beyond the tropic of Capricorn
from the warm eastern currents of the Indian Ocean to the warm equatorial and COld Antartic currents of the
Atlantic.

This is the part of Gondwanaland that remained relatively stable, its siblings moved all directions of the compass giving Mount Kilamanjaro and Kenya a series of snow covered peaks in the Himalaya Range.

Is not Mother Earth amazing with her gentle evolution ?

Do not Drink to anaethetise a bad ear ache ;(

leaving the red british colonial africa in the escarpment
and headed down to the flatlands of vast territory of Portuguese East Africa, visited centuries ago by tarders and explorers from the Arabian Sea and Pacific Ocean nations

what be it ?
no volcanoes here abouts,
no steel mills spewing out their noxious fumes

5 inch thick slabs of African Hardwood,

in excess of 4 feet diameter,
polished and glistening under african sun:

but have had reports they were used as firewood during the civil war
