@DavidColtart The Springboks are a perfect example - the black guys in that team are at that moment the best players in that position, and they only arrived independence and freedom for all to get selected in 1994. Transformation is possible through merit.
@DavidColtart@CityofBulawayo Progressive idea. Consultation with the public would propel this and establish ownership of water quality and recreational resources.
