My recent visit to Zimbabwe

-
 The journey was well planned and it took us less than 10 hours to reach our destination from Pretoria South Africa to Mvuma central Zimbabwe.  A lot of construction is happening on the roads. Harare to Masvingo Highway is complete and the remaining part which was left between Beitbridge and Masvingo is being completed.  Surely by December it should be done. Though there is a lot of money being miss used, there are elements of success. Harare to Beitbridge road was a death trap, the road had so many potholes, had no shoulder no fencing to protect  animals from entering the road and some parts even worn out that left it narrow in a way that two trucks cannot pass without one having to go out of the road.  Those improvements form part of the new Government's transformation policy. There is job creation and slowly improving the standards which has been declining for more that 20 to 30 years. Surely Rome was not built over night. At the border you can see significan...

Iran nuclear crisis: EU moves towards crude oil ban

-
EU member states have agreed in principle to ban imports of Iranian crude oil to put pressure on the country over its nuclear programme. The move is expected to be announced formally at an EU foreign ministers' meeting at the end of January. The US, which recently imposed fresh sanctions on Iran, welcomed the news. Iran has dismissed the threat of new sanctions and denies Western claims that it is trying to develop a nuclear weapons programme. Iran has also denied that a record low of its currency this week was linked to punitive US measures against its banks. Oil prices on international markets rose on news of the EU agreement. "We have an [EU] foreign ministers' meeting on January 30, and on this occasion I hope we will be able to take the decision on the embargo of oil and petrol from Iran", said French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe. "We have to reassure some of our European partners who purchase Iranian oil. We have to provide them with alternative solut...

Kim Jong-un was educated in Switzerland Continue reading the main story Kim Jong-il dead Memorial in pictures Uniting N Korea in grief Mystical cult of personality Genuine tears? Kim Jong-un has taken on the mantle of North Korea's supreme leadership with little political or military experience behind him. But he was named head of the party, state and army within a fortnight of his father's death on 17 December 2011. Kim Jong-il, North Korea's "Dear Leader", was in the process of grooming Kim Jong-un as his successor when he died. Immediately after his father's death, Jong-un was hailed as "the great successor". But little is known about the elusive young man who is the youngest son of Kim Jong-il and his late third wife Ko Yong-hui, Born in 1983 or early 1984, he was initially not thought to be in the frame to take up his father's mantle. Analysts focused their attention on his half-brother Kim Jong-nam and older full brother Kim ...

The Korean peninsula is at a "turning point" and there are opportunities for change, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak said in a new year speech. He said Seoul would "respond strongly" if provoked by North Korea, with whom it remains technically at war. But he said that the biggest goal was stability, and that aid-for-disarmament talks could resume if Pyongyang halted its nuclear activities. On Sunday North Korea told citizens to defend leader Kim Jong-un to the death. Kim Jong-un has succeeded his father, Kim Jong-il, who died on 17 December at the age of 69.

This New Ultralight Aircraft May Be World’s Fastest Single-Engine Business Jet

  The speedy LAR-01's automotive interior adds comfort and luxury. Plus: The wings detach, so the jet can be stored in a home garage. By  MICHAEL VERDON           Courtesy Flaris The  Flaris  LAR-01 has a number of striking stats, including being a ton lighter (literally) than its competitors, along with an unusually short-field landing capability, and detachable wings. But its most impressive number is the 250-knot true air speed, which its designers say makes it the world’s fastest business jet among single-engine very light jets and turboprop aircraft. Flaris says recent tests “confirmed the assumptions made previously” about the effectiveness of multiple systems, including its Garmin G600 avionics and Flaris Flight Assistance System flight computer, as well as the landing gear and emergency parachute system. But it also claims more impressive stats like the 250-knot TSA at 10,000 feet. Its 6,000-feet-per-minute climb rate, adds the compan...
