IMF TO FINANCE REDISTRIBUTION PLAN IN ZIMBABWE
Date: 1999/06/11
Notwithstanding the fact that medical services in Harare are getting dodgier
by the day, the costs remain very competitive relative to the rest of the
world. For example, an appendectomy which might cost a thousand dollars in
Los Angeles can be got in Harare for about seven and six and a case of
Zambezi.
This has led to a number of people visiting the country to take advantage of
the good value afforded by Zimbabwean hospitals.
Latest publicly renowned person to arrive is Janice, larger sister of the
famous Gladys Dongo. Janice has obtained funding from the IMF to have her
considerable charms redistributed about her person. In particular, she
hopes to reduce her waist from three comma two meters to just 24 inches, or
whatever.
The redistribution will leave her with a bust of 26 meters, and hips of
approx the distance from West Nic to Beit Bridge.
Doctors are still working on where to redistribute her thighs. A suggestion
that they drop them off on the Mafungabuzi Plateau is not being taken
seriously.
