WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Zim: We are being dragged back to the stone age

By Basildon Peta The Zimbabwean government, which faces acute foreign currency shortages and a collapsing health sector, has introduced ox-drawn ambulances to ferry ill people to health centres in rural areas. The main opposition party said the introduction of the ox-drawn ambulances, reported in the government media, was yet another indication of the “continuing collapse of institutions” in Zimbabwe under the weight of President Robert Mugabe’s mismanagement. “Zimbabwe is being dragged back to the stone age,” said opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) spokesperson Paul Themba Nyathi. The ox-drawn ambulances come after the bankrupt state-run National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) reportedly brought back steam locomotives, which had long fallen into disuse. The NRZ could not afford to run its modern electric and diesel locomotives. Themba Nyathi said: “As long as we have Robert (Mugabe) and his gang around, we will not only end at ox-drawn ambulances, but we will see further deterioration in all aspects of life.” State media reports said the ox-drawn ambulances are a result of an initiative by the ministry of health, and are based on the commonly used ox-drawn scotch carts for rural transport. They would initially be used in at least 10 district councils around Harare to ferry ill people to hospitals. The state-run Herald newspaper said communities would take charge of the ambulances, while a cart minder would be responsible for management and maintenance. Health ministry officials said the ox-drawn carts were an act of desperation because there was no money to buy proper equipment. “At many state hospitals, the only drug you will find is paracetamol. An ambulance will thus be a big luxury,” said one official. “Maybe these ox-drawn carts will help in reducing people dying in homes. They will either die on their way to the hospital or on arrival. That will save the families of the hassle of transporting dead bodies to mortuaries.” But Health Minister David Parirenyatwa was quoted by the Herald as saying the carts would make a great impact in reducing avoidable deaths.
