We’re One Year Old Today!

It has been one year to the day since I launched this blog.

It’s been fun, and there’s no better than feeling than when you’ve made a difference, either in someone’s life or in the way things are done.

Here’s to us, the consumers who prove every day the we are not sheep.

Salut.

“Buy Zimbabwe”; Do As We Say, Not As We Do

Whilst going through my favourite publication this morning, I came across what seemed an interesting article.
With businesses closing down in Zimbabwe, unemployment is increasing and as a result, there is less consumer spending.
During tough economic times, it might have been hard to come up with anything more visceral than the appeal to “Buy Zimbabwe. Save a job.”
All well and good, and this seems like a noble effort. Except … buyzimbabwe.org.zw itself is not even hosted in Zimbabwe.
