A Pretty Pretoria- Zimbos Will Shop

And the Zimbos were shopping...

And while all the hustle and bustle of South Africa was happening around us, wherever we went we met some Zimbos and wherever we met them, they were shopping inordinately.

Where South Africans were buying one pair of jeans in Jet and Edgars, the Zimbo in the queue had five.

In Makro and Game and Kit Kat, where the South Africans pushed one small trolley, the Zimbo families were pushing three to five huge ones- full to the brim.In KFC, Nandos and Wimpy, the South Africans munched slowly on their chips, chicken and burgers- but the Zimbos wolved the food down with gusto, having last had a decent burger who knows when. Hey, and the Hawaiian Pizza from Romans actually had pineapple and TWO layers of mozzarella! In your face Pizza Inn!

And those South Africans that crossed our boarder, came in small groups to see our beautiful country. We in return crossed theirs in busloads and carloads to buy everything our forsaken shops had denied us.

I can testify to this. I am one of them. I am a Zimbo too.
