But from my very empty house in Worthing, I finally complete the show with an interview recorded a couple of months ago with ‘<strong>Temba Ngazimbe</strong>’ who served 30 years with the National Railways of Zimbabwe. This Matabele gentleman has some different, perhaps interesting views. I enjoyed chatting to him when he visited Johannesburg to see two of his children who have lived 'south of the border' for several years. Temba is not his real name of course - he requested the anonymity.
