HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — City authorities in Zimbabwe's second largest city are appealing to home owners to flush their toilets at a specified time as a way to unblock sewers after days of severe water rationing.

The sewer systems are pretty dangerous over there.

As my Marine DI once told me - "Boy, you in a world of $--T!"



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Hopefully, America will synchronize its toilet flush on November 6th.

South Africa will continue helping Zimbabwe in its economic recovery programmes, the finance ministers of the two countries say. "South Africa further committed itself to continue supporting Zimbabwe's efforts to normalise its relations with multilateral financial institutions," the ministers said in a joint statement. The statement followed a meeting in Pretoria between South African Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan and his Zimbabwean counterpart Tendai Biti, aimed at deepening co-operation between the two governments. The discussions in the meeting were centred on the resolutions of the extraordinary summit of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) heads of states held in Swaziland in 2009. The resolutions were to provide support to Zimbabwe's Short Term Economic Recovery Programme (Sterp). At that summit, South Africa pledged to help Zimbabwe through budget support grants, a line of credit and export credit facilities. -- SA committed to helping Zimbabwe: finance ministers

It is a good thing they got rid of Rhodesia.

[alrea]

Do they get the time of use rates?

[RetSignman]

They haven't invented flush handles yet.

[RegulatorCountry]

If the sewer system is like everything else there, it has only been negelcted since the days of Rhodesia. They’re going to blow manhole covers sky high with $hit geysers is what is going to happen. Well, they will where the manhole covers haven’t been stolen and sold for scrap.

Nothing like a little kitty potty humor.
