Chronicles V – SA People in Maputo

account
I am hating the construction business and disliking my cousin more every day. I am treated like a skivvy at his house. He and Jay have off road bikes, and on weekends they load them on a bakkie, then I have to take them out into the open country and drive back home. Each time Jay says, “Now you go straight home Wayne.” Guess who gets to wash the bikes when they get back? I do this and they go to the pubs that are frequented with South African people, mainly in construction and trucking business. I am embarrassed to be a South African because of the type of people they are. Seems they live in the past, apartheid era. All hate blacks in general and say bad things about the Mozambicans. They all have grown wealthier here than they could in South Africa. My cousin is a good example, his construction company in South Africa was a failure, and he could not cut the mustard, so moved to Mozambique. Here I see and hear from Vaughn’s friends it was easy to exploit both the government and the laborers and become fairly wealthy. They brag about how the exploit the Mozambique people and complain about the new laws the government has implicated to curb them. I would rather wash dirt bikes that associate or even be seen with these people. My cousin’s workers have commented on the fact that I am not like the other South Africans. I tell them not all South Africans are like the lot they see. Those are the ones we did not want so they came to Mozambique. Never a truer word than spoken in jest.

Tree Fog in Amanzimtoti

A friend of mine often says, “In Africa you are never alone.” Well while watching a DVD last night, this chap was watching me!
Unlike Geckos who use a dry grip to cling to, well, anything, frogs use a wet grip. You would not find this little fellow up the window on a hot dry day.

The Chronicles V – Mozambique Taxi

the-mexican-horse-thief-cats-amanzimtotii57
The visa system in Mozambique works like this. You get a visa at the border but it lasts only one month. To get another months visa one has to leave and then re-enter Mozambique. This is a pain in the arse, but expired visas? Vaughn told me that you get huge fines if your visa is note up to date, he normally takes his South African people to the border, but tells his cousin, me, that I must catch a taxi. I get the company personnel officer, Gustavo, to take me to the taxi ranks; it is opposite a very South African like mall. The border is not that far, about 80km away. The cost is 60 Metica. (R20.00.) I squeeze in to the mini bus, a huge mamma is sitting almost on top of me. I am in the row just behind the driver and notice he has no fuel; I am a bit paranoid about this type of thing. Finally when we have squeezed in more people than you would believe possible, we set off. Only to travel a short distance, then we stop, a woman passenger starts yelling at some people, jumps out and gets into what looks like an argument. She returned to the vehicle and we were off again. Barreling along at 120km an hour in a totally un-roadworthy, over crowded mini bus, I got to wondering if this is how I will finally get killed.
