Harare by night
You will notice that i'm posting this many months after my expedition to Rhodesia. As stated from the previous post, i left Bulawayo at 1400hrs CAT (Central African time) on board a luxury bus - city link. The road from Bulawayo to Harare passes through the town's of Gweru and ???.
It was a dissappointment that i arrived in Harare at night. Harare is a huge city. It was clear that Harareans don't venture out at night on weekdays as the streets were desserted with only a few guys walking the the streets. The streets were not well lighted.
To speak the truth, despite my "Street wisdom", Harare intimidated me. It gave me a nostalgic feeling of Nairobi in the late 90's when the streets were dark and police brutality was the order of the day.
