Ua haʻalulu iki ka nūhou i kēia pule i kāna hōʻike ʻana i ke ola ma Zimbabwe. I ka wā mua ke lohe nei mākou e piʻi mai ana ka maʻi kolera. A laila ʻōlelo ʻo Robert Mugabe aia ma lalo o ka mana a ʻaʻohe maʻi maʻi. I kēia manawa ua haʻi ʻia mai iā mākou e kekahi o kāna mau Kuhina ʻo Mugabe he "hoʻohenehene" wale nō a ua haʻi aku kekahi kuhina ʻo ia ka hopena o ke "kaua ola" a Beretania. Manaʻoʻiʻo maoli paha kekahi poʻe i kēia - manaʻo wau inā manaʻoʻiʻo lākou inā ua hoʻolaha ka mea haʻiʻōlelo i ka hoʻolaha ʻia ʻana o ke kolera e nā malihini uliuli mai ka honua Zog a ʻaʻole na ke aupuni ka hewa. Ma kekahi mau moʻolelo, he akamai loa ʻo Mugabe no laila ʻo ka puka ʻana mai o ka pule mai ia a me kāna aupuni i ka maʻi maʻi cholera me he mea lā e huikau.
Ma hope o koʻu noho ʻana ma Harare no ʻelua pule, hiki iaʻu ke ʻōlelo ʻoiaʻiʻo he weliweli ke ola ma laila. ʻO ka poʻe wale nō i manaʻo ʻia e hana maikaʻi nei, ʻo nā luna aupuni e kaʻa a puni i nā kaʻa nui a ola i ke ʻano o ka nani. Ke kūkulu ʻia nei nā hale nui ma nā wahi kūʻokoʻa. Akā, pelapela ke kūlanakauhale. Ma kekahi mau wahi hiki iā ʻoe ke honi i ka ʻōpala e holo ana ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke alanui. He ʻuʻuku loa ka wai a ʻaʻohe wai o kekahi mau hale no nā mahina. ʻOi aku ka pio ʻana o ka uila ma mua o ka ʻā.
Aia kekahi poʻe e noho ana ma ka ʻaoʻao o nā alanui e kūʻai aku ana i nā mea a lākou e hiki ai - he mau tōmato a ʻolika paha, wahie, hua manu. Ua ʻāhuehu nā keiki a nānā pōloli. Ua ulu nui nā paka nani a me nā māla. Ke hāʻule nei nā kukui alanui ma nā kihi; ʻAʻole hana pinepine nā kukui uila.
Ua maloʻo loa ʻo Harare; ʻaʻole nui ka ua. I kēia manawa ua hiki mai ka ua hiki iā mākou ke manaʻo e piʻi koke ka maʻi kolera (e kala mai ʻaʻole i loaʻa). ʻOiaʻiʻo, ke hoʻopilikia nei ke kolera i ka poʻe ʻilihune ma nā kūlanakauhale ʻo Harare. ʻAʻohe lāʻau lapaʻau o nā halemai, no laila, ʻoiai he maʻalahi ka mālama ʻana i ke kolera, e make ana nā kānaka.
ʻAʻole mākou i hele i nā hale kūʻai no ka mea aia kahi ʻōnaehana hou i kēia manawa. Ua kūkulu kekahi poʻe i nā hale kūʻai ma ko lākou mau hale. Lawe mai lākou i nā mea mai ʻApelika Hema a kūʻai aku mai ka home. Inā hopu ka Mana Loaʻa iā lākou e pilikia nui lākou. Akā paʻa ko lākou mau ʻīpuka a hoʻokuʻu wale i ka poʻe a lākou i ʻike ai. ʻOiaʻiʻo, aia kēia mau kūʻai a pau i ke kālā US no ka mea ʻaʻole ʻae ʻia nā kālā Zim e kekahi a ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻohana hou. ʻAʻole lawa ia a ʻo ka piʻi ʻana o ke kumukūʻai e nalowale ana ka hapalua o kāna waiwai i kēlā me kēia lā. Loaʻa ka wahie i nā lako i kaupalena ʻia. Ke kūʻai akea nei kekahi mau hale ʻaila i nā kālā ʻAmelika.
Ke holo nei ma Zimbabwe he wahi mahiʻai liʻiliʻi wale nō. Ke hāʻawi nei ke aupuni i nā traktor hou i kāna poʻe i makemake nui ʻia a, ua haʻi ʻia iaʻu, e hāʻawi ana i nā hua, nā mea momona a me nā wahie. Ke kūʻai ʻia nei ka nui o nā mea hoʻokomo i loko o nā kūlanakauhale i hiki i nā "mahiai" ke loaʻa wikiwiki. Malia paha ua pololi loa lakou e kali i ka ulu ana o na mea kanu, a i ole ia, ua lako paha lakou i ka pono ole ke kanu. Ua ʻike mākou i kekahi mau traktor e palau ana a ... hoʻokahi tractor e hana ana ... ma ke ʻano he kaʻa kaʻa. Akā, ʻo ka mea maʻamau, ua ulu nui ka nui o nā mahiʻai i hana ʻia ma mua a hoʻi i ka nahele.
Aia nā pā alanui ma kēlā me kēia kūlanakauhale ma ke ala. ʻEhā mau mākaʻi ma kēlā me kēia. Manaʻo wau ua hele mākou ma waena o 12-15 mau alahele mai Harare a hiki i Vic Falls - he mau haneli mau mika wale nō ke kaʻawale - makemake kēlā me kēia e nānā i nā palapala like a nīnau i nā nīnau like. Hoʻokahi wale nō manawa i hālāwai ai mākou me hoʻokahi mākaʻi ʻawaʻawa, akā, no ka hoʻonohonoho pono ʻana o nā pepa a pau o ke kaʻa, ʻaʻohe mea hiki iā ia ke hana.
ʻO ia kaʻu moʻolelo mai Zim. He mea kaumaha iaʻu. A ua hana ʻia kēia ma ka inoa ʻo "one-man-one-vote." Manaʻo wau inā e nīnau mākou i ka poʻe i nalowale i kā lākou hana; ka poe pololi; ʻO ka poʻe maʻi, pehea lākou e manaʻo ai e hiki ke koho balota, ʻaʻole lākou e mālama i kahi hoot. A, ʻo kēlā me kēia manaʻo e pili ana i ka Rhodesia kahiko, ua hana ka ʻāina; hānai ʻia nā kānaka, hoʻonaʻauao ʻia a mālama ʻia. E hilahila mākou iā mākou iho no ka ulu ʻana o kēia kūlana ma Zimbabwe, ʻoiai i kēia manawa ʻaʻohe mea hiki iā mākou ke hana. Hiki iā mākou ke nānā a uē. Malia paha e loli ana i kekahi lā.
