The cholera crisis in Zimbabwe prompted President Robert Mugabe to give his own assessment of the outbreak, claiming there was ”no cholera.”

Russell Allen Says:
Raw sewage still running down the streets while African leaders bask in wealth and opulence, in 2009? My God! How does African leadership sleep at night or hold their heads up, period! There is no excuse for such social or political negligence decades after colonialism has end! Pirates in Somalia, Cholera in Zimbabwe, Liberian Torchure chambers and a runaway Aids epidemic throughout the continent! We were better off under colonialism! I am ashamed of African leadership after upwards of 50 years of independence! We are moving backwards with the internet loaded with information! What happened to self help Africa? Where’s your pride?
