I am very proud of Moses, my brother, for the hard work he has put into this project. This research is towards his PHd. I have just made him aware of this discussion this evening which made him quite happy that somebody from Zimbabwe has noticed. I just want to thank Robert for acknowledging this. I am involved in the prevention of Chronic Kidney Disease at Primary Care level, a new post Nationally. I would like to talk to Robert about it.

A very good post, thank you. So many people concentrate on the negatives, good to read positives. (and thanks Shona for the link)

Hi Rhodie
I was educated in Zimbabwe. I left UZ in 1994. I didn’t know about sugar as a treatment. I think that was something passed down from father to son, and that has nothing to do with Rhodesian or Zimbabwean education surely? No I don’t think Zimbabwe is a caveman’s world, its a modern thriving society, with some wicked and corrupt people in charge. There is a lot of good in Zimbabwe still.

Hm @Rhodie I don’t know about that, perhaps if he was 30 years ago…. I left UZ in 2001 and it wasn’t that bad.. Only in the last 5 years have things collapsed…. Just a correction.

Although, without a doubt he was actually educated in Rhodesia. I doubt the standards are the same now. I doubt it’s much fun to study by candle light.

I actually saw this in use at Parirenyatwa Hospital some years ago, a guy who had a huge wound due to electrocution by high-voltage cables…. It works!

Great article!

Always believed that, which is why I am a proud Zimbabwean!
