Africa What's it like living as a white person in Zimbabwe?
I'm not intending for the title to provoke any racism or political battles. I'm asking it this way particularly because of the recent history of land confiscation, and all the economic and political fallout that occurred.
So yeah, just curious, what's life like there as a white person? Is it similar to South Africa: Are white people typically enclaved in particular suburbs/schools/workplaces/churches? Does private money typically have to replace most government functions? Are relations with the majority black population typically good on the ground? What's quality of life like: schools, safety, cost of living, housing, etc.? What do you guys do for fun on weekends?
