Nowadays, there are an estimated 18,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the republic, many of them living in precarious conditions. But the situation of the local population is not much better.

But leave your genetics behind the theater door. THE TIME TRAVELER’S WIFE is a movie-adaptation of the novel by Audrey Niffenegger. I just saw the movie and I loved the idea of a love so deep and true that it endures beyond time… Or in geekspeak – the space-time continuum known as time travel.     The movie revolves around Claire’s love for a man named Henry, who has a genetic condition that causes him to involuntarily travel in time. His condition is called Chrono-Displacement Disorder, which is apparently heritable. I don’t want to spoil the movie too much, so I won’t give away the storyline (you can Google it up). But if you’re like me who w...

I ask Precious if she like so many of her country-people is thinking of leaving the country. “No,” she says shaking her head. “Sometimes it is not about you, it is about the next person, about the next vulnerable person. You have to think about that other person,” she explains. We reach another section of Mabvuku where 160 households have not had water and electricity for over a year. But worse than this is that not only do their toilets not work, but the sewage blocks up and spills into their houses. “The woman that lives there,” says Precious pointing to a house to our right, “was weeping to me last week in despair because the sewage had covered all the rooms in her house.
