From the article:
"Zimbabweans home for Christmas heard about the imminent crisis in our education system. In a few day's time the new school year starts here, but teacher unions are saying their members aren't going to work unless their salaries are at least equivalent to what they were this time last year."

"From the Beitbridge border we heard that Zimbabweans going back to South Africa, back to their jobs, were stuck in 2km-long vehicle queues and when they got to the front they waited on foot for eight to 12 hours to get their passports stamped. Officials said that 35 000 people crossed the border legally in one day last week and we wonder how many thousands more crawled under and over the fences and razor wire to get away from Zimbabwe, our beautiful, broken country."
