Rombo of What an African woman thinks criticises a recent article by Mathew Parris for The Times UK titled “As an atheist, I truly believe Africa needs God“. And she wonders: “why does everybody assume that no African had ever climbed the mountain before the adventurous foreigner came along and did it, and taught him how? (For porter’s sake, of course.) Who’s to say, definitively and conclusively? So the lion hasn't published his memoirs, is that ample basis on which to conclude that the hunter was always the victor?”

Thanks for your observation, Victor. Peple are loose on their jobs in our country because nobody monitors anybody in govt or parastatory companies and there is no firing. If people were fired after being engaged in corrupt practices they would learn to nurture their jobs. There is just too much security on jobs even for nonperformers, Vic.
