Day 4 (Dec 04/rest day) “im”Perfect day!

Where do we start… let’s back track a bit, on day 2 we met a gentlemen by the name of Dr Eddie Ngwezi from Harare at the Sasol garage just before Beitbrigde border post - our last refueling stop on the South African side. Eddie invited us to stay at his house in Harare as a fellow GS rider. Fast forward to Harare day3, we tried calling him when we arrived in Harare to no avail and we decided to book at a Hotel.

As Sunday was our rest day we only left the Hotel at 11H00 for breakfast and we received a call from Eddie offering to join us, he came with his motorbike same as ours after which we all rode together, Eddie taking us around Harare before heading to his house. As we rode, about a block away from his house a car infront of him suddenly hit the brakes, he grabbed his front brakes sending him and bike in different directions, luckily he got away with some bruises on his elbows and a sprained ankle.

We fetched his car from his house leaving ours and his bike at the house and took him to hospital, not a perfect start to what promised to be a very relaxed day. We must mention here that on our way to hospital we came across the head of state motorcade and when this happens all traffic must stop. You cannot drive whilst the President is been transported.

Anyway we spent about 2 hours at the hospital whist he was under observation. Meanwhile, two of his friends arrived, Namo and another Eddie, so we left him at the hospital and continued our joyride to a Shisanyama (Buy and Braai) owned by Eddie (not the injured one). Very nice place we might add, kinda reminds you of Midrand Shisanyama.

We later picked up Eddie discharged from the Hospital and headed back to his house. Hodes of well wishers and sympathizers started to arrive and this was the moment we realized that Dr Ngwezi has some high powered friends and so is he! amongst them the Honorable Minister of Enterprise Development. As you can imagine, the environment was condusive to "solving the world's problems".
