A letter from a Zimbabwean resident about coming to terms with Africa ! Yesterday, l had only $20 in my pocket. But after some careful consideration, I decided to dress for Meikles Hotel. I sat myself down at a beautifully laid table in La Fontanne Restaurant and ordered the 7-course dinner, starting with an exquisite bottle of Moet and Chandon French Champagne 1985. The fillet mignons were simply delightful when accompanied by a 1975 South African Shiraz! Anyway, at the end of the evening when my bill came, I casually informed my waiter that not only could I not afford the $465.00 bill, I actually had no money what-so-ever. To cut a long story short, the hotel manager was called and they handed me over to ZRP Central Branch Police. On my way to the station, l handed the constable $10 (who was genuinely impressed) and I was set free. In Zimbabwe, we call this Prudent Fiscal Management
