BY STAFF REPORTERS, The Zimbabwean
For South African driver, Christmas Ramabulana, the weekly journey to Harare to deliver The Zimbabwean is normally an exercise in patient endurance. It is a long haul with his precious cargo of independent news for information-starved Zimbabweans. Formalities at the border can often take an excruciating 10-12 hour wait in the queue of trucks. And then there is the pot-hole ridden road northwards for 550kms. Week after week.
