Bulawayo and Beyond
 |
| Old Fort Victoria outside Bulawayo where time has stood still except for the fast food monopoly chain' the Inn Co-operation. (ZANU PF have shares)....So this is one country where you will not find a Macdonalds! And before you call animal welfare the chickens in the plastic bag belong to the grocery shopper just stopping for a rest and a bite. Shortly they will be released in the garden then eaten in the next few days. In the absence of refrigeration what better more eco-friendly way to keep your meat fresh? |

DeleteThanks for visiting my blog.
Bushstick is located just outside the city of Bulawayo, west of Zimbabwe, near a rural settlement called Esigodini, where beef cattle are the main form of subsistence and commercial farming. My primary school, actually called Sacred Heart has been nicknamed BUSHTICK which is the name of a very old disused railway station located a stones throw away from the school. It is surrounded by schools such as Embakwe and Falcon College.
I hope this helps and I would love to know where your interest stems from.
I was at Sacred Heart (Bushtick) from 1997-2001. It's a pleasure to come across these pictures on the Internet. Thank you for sharing.
