Wonderful. I feel all choked up...
ReplyDeleteI think I've been away from Africa too long, and missed all the name changes. I thought Chimoio was in Moçambique (note the correct lettering.!)..? Obviously there is another one.
How happy and relaxed everyone looks. Makes me want to come home.

Brian Snyman (RhAF) Writes:-
ReplyDeleteHaving just seen Bob Manser's pics of Father Christmas alighting from his fire-engine red Alo, I am amazed that these people, I assume, live in Chimoio. I also assume they farm the land and provide jobs to the locals too - typical old Rhodesian spirit and I take my hat off to them.
I subsequently looked further into Alo ZU-RFI and found a posting from you in Jan 2012, with Bob Manser requesting any info regarding this Alo. If he is still looking for info, I have some for him - just let me know if I can send it to him directly or if it must go via yourself.
I believed in Santa until I was 11 and only found out he wasn't real when i started to grown up. Anyway here this santa played a great role and children are looking so happy in their face.Regards: Case study writing service
