Shebeens selling cough syrup
19/06/2005 13:04 - (SA)



Harare - Desperate for beer, Zimbabweans are turning to cough medicine as a substitute for alcohol, the state-run Sunday Mail reported.

A local cough medicine that is readily available in Harare's pharmacies is being used in shebeens and nightclubs in the capital, the paper reported.

It said the medicine is often drunk diluted in soft drinks.

Beer has joined a growing list of goods now in short supply in Zimbabwe. Manufacturers blame the shortage of foreign currency for their inability to import essential ingredients.

The newspaper said that most shebeen owners were now selling the cough mixture which is proving to be popular with many.

But a medical expert warned of the danger of addiction and tooth decay.

Along with beer, sugar, maize meal, cooking oil, bread, milk and fuel are all in short supply. Many Zimbabweans spend hours queuing for scarce commodities where they are available.

The government of President Robert Mugabe says widespread corruption is partly to blame for the foreign currency shortages. - Sapa-dpa

When I was in the service, we had a guy in our barracks who, after the local bars closed for the night, would stop in one of the local all night convenience stores to buy a couple of bottles of Aqua Velva after shave to drink. At least when he threw up it didn't stink as bad eek2

I'm sure that here is a serious reporting error! Surely it is the widespread corruption amongs the white minority and opposition party memeber who are responsible for the troubles of the country?

One can cure:

Lack of knowledge – by instruction. Lack of skills – by practice. Lack of experience – by time doing it.


One cannot cure:

Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules!


My very long ago ancestors needed and loved to eat meat. Today I still hunt!

I've always found that Aqua net hair spray filtered through a peice of bread is just the ticket for a case of the DT's. beer

In all seriousness do you guys think that a mass case of of the DTs may just be the lighter that ignites the dynamite?

If it wasn't so hard to get, sniffing petrol (gasoline) would also help them get 'off their heads'.
