Anybody know of any other Afican countries where there are gliding
operations?
=A0Any help would be gratefully recieved.

Zimbabwe is ruled by a ruthless (some say mad) dictator who enforces
control over the country and people with gangs of vicious armed
thugs. Anyone with any sense has already left (most Zimbabweans are
now in South Africa).

It is extremely unlikely that any recreational aircraft are still
there and in my opinion you are completely nuts even to consider going
into that basket case of a country.

mike having travelled widely through the world - if I listened to all the
people who said don't go it's dangerous then I probablly would not have
gone anywhere, even the USA!! - I'm also quite well aware of the political
situation in Zimbabwe-that's why I am guessing there are no gliding
operations left in that country. I'm looking for objective factual
information re; whether there are gliding operations in any other African
countries, thanks
