Zimbabwe Bush Road

The dirt road, cattle grid, road sign and local residents walking. Somehow this is a picture of Zimbabwe which sticks in my mind. When I was a child, about 7 years old, my Dad was managing the construction of the Silalabuhwa and Thuli-Makwe dams. During school holidays I often went with him on site visits. What a pleasure – a day out in the bush, some of it spent with Dad, as well as a drive in his Ford F100 truck. Happy days. This view is quite common in many forms, and seems to have stuck in my mind. This particular stretch of road is just outside Bulawayo.
