I see the same question in various travel groups. Visa requirements
everywhere change all the time... CALL THE RELEVANT CONSULATE!!! You'll get the right answer and will save everybody time. Tim Jones wrote: Hi there, I am travelling to Zimbabwe in a month and was hoping someone could clarify the visa situation. Can I get one on arrival in Zim and if so, is it single or multi-entry as I am hoping to travel to Malawi and South Africa as well? Thanks, Tim |

Hallo Tim. I just back after an extensive trip including Zim. We were a
group of 5 persons including some from Spain, South Africa and the UK. We had absolutely no problems. The temp visa will cost you about 30 US $. Perhaps it would be wise to have a few pasport size photos available. Enjoy the trip.

Hi Pat,
Thanks for the compliment. There is a political satirist here named Pieter Dirk Uys whop often says that he has a very easy job because the very people he rips into are the very ones who write his scripts. :-) The trouble with political jokes is that they often get elected. Regards, Marc Marc, Just to say I like your witty comments! Also, being a Yorkshire woman I`m amused by the backward spelling of the Comrade`s name! Pat |

Pieter Dirk Uys is indeed an interesting person. He has been around
for many years, and was an outspoken opponent of the apartheid government. He is a satirist and actor and impersonator. He is most famous for his female character, Evita Bezuidenhout, the former ambasador from the independant homeland (fictitious) of Bapetikosweti. Under the apartheid government he was regularly hassled, banned, threatened etc. but it became a bit embarrasing for the government to be seen to harrassing Evita, who became larger-than-life and much loved by millions of South Africans. Every time Pieter Dirk was banned or harrassed, Evita would pop up and make comments, drawing the flak for Pieter Dirk, and endearing herself even more to the people of the country. Even hardened supporters of the government warmed to his female alter-ego, some of them even commenting that she had good legs :-) Now that we have a democratically elected government Pieter Dirk has toned down his political satire, and is concentrating his efforts on fighting AIDS and poverty, as well as child abuse, social issues, voter education etc. There is an interesting website at: www.evita.co.za Since 1994 there has been practically no censorship or sanction on activists, political commentators and satirists, actors, journalists, authors etc. The new South African Constitution is very progressive, and guarantees freedom of speech, expresion, and association. There is an active constitutional court that continually monitors and tests these constitutional principles, and ensures that South Africa continues to experience levels of political stability only dreamed of in many other African (and South American, and even some European) countries. There is a vibrant and flourishing community of political satirists and cartoonists who work without any interference from the state. Have a look he http://www.megweb.uct.ac.za/www/307F/Zapiro/ Zapiro is one of SA's most famous political cartoonists. http://www.madamandeve.co.za This is a light hearted, yet surprisingly astute, cartoon strip dealing with SA suburban life. http://www.comedyclub.co.za The URL speaks for itself.
