CORD has presented it self as the warthog slipping into a burrow, while strategically and skillfully portraying Jubilee as the ruthless lions lying in ambush near the holes. But, clueless as usual Jubiholes are celebrating with chest-thumping not having a clue as to why CORD prefers to apply the strategy of some aspects of warthog ecology? For instance, the image of the warthog as a sedentary animal, using its burrow as a refuge from predators, is plausible that it is readily accepted. But in developing its strategy, CORD, rightfully considers the fact that burrows are also not used as a refuse from lions. Warthog will never slip into a burrow when hunted by lions even when it just beside the burrow.. CORD understands this, as well as, the fact that, indeed, the big cats will often lie in ambush near the holes. What is behind this odd strategy?: it is complex. a hog in burrow has to come out again and what is even worse, a lion is fully capable of digging out a burrow.What with massive resources robbed violently from others? Lions prefer a prey which is easily found even if it is difficult to get at. This why warthogs find it usually much safer not to go for the perilous shelter of a burrow but to run for their lives. CORD runs to the people A warthog forgets small matters, but remember important matters, like where it's burrow is. CORD remembers where it's votes went. CORD remembers this country is its burrow.This does not mean that a warthog will never enter a hole when hard pressed, but in the case of lion hunt it rarely happens. It is also evident that warthogs don't actually feel secure in burrows; on being disturbed they react with utmost sensitivity.Warthogs are easily able to outpace any lion. Caution to Jubilee;smart lion treats warthog burrows like a loaded cannons.
By Strive Masiyiwa A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London. After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...
