De arbeiders willen dat leiders van de Zuidelijk Afrikaanse Ontwikkelingsgemeenschap (SADC)…

Best for the wild at heart:...
img src="http://www.independent.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00312/rhino_getty_312551k.jpg" style="padding-right:5px;margin-right:5px" align="left" / p I was expecting to see the wildlife, not eat it. Yet here it was in front of me – springbok shank, with mash, washed down with a fine Cape red. I'm not quite sure how this reconciles with the avowed "eco tourist" mission of Richard Branson's Ulusaba Private Game Reserve in South Africa, but I suppose my meat was free-range and organic. If you haven't tried it, the national animal is like lamb, only gamier – and surprisingly fatty. /pimg width='1' height='1' src='http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/266/f/3854/s/8fd67d3/mf.gif' border='0'/div class='mf-viral'table border='0'trtd valign='middle'a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/sendemail2.html?title=Best+for+the+wild+at+heart:+South+Africalink=http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/africa/best-for-the-wild-at-heart-south-africa-1888483.html" target="_blank"img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/images/emailthis2.gif" border="0" //a/tdtd valign='middle'a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/bookmark.cfm?title=Best+for+the+wild+at+heart:+South+Africalink=http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/africa/best-for-the-wild-at-heart-south-africa-1888483.html" target="_blank"img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/images/bookmark.gif" border="0" //a/td/tr/table/divbr/br/a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/63018477930/u/159/f/3854/c/266/s/150824915/kg/42-63-65/a2.htm"img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/63018477930/u/159/f/3854/c/266/s/150824915/kg/42-63-65/a2.img" border="0"//a

Best for getting lost: Fez
img src="http://www.independent.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00312/fez_getty_312560k.jpg" style="padding-right:5px;margin-right:5px" align="left" / p Every great city is entirely itself and nowhere else. At the same time, they're all like ... somewhere. Somewhere that doesn't exist. A Platonic copy, perhaps; an embodiment of the idea of the city, whatever that may be. Morocco has several versions – all different – but in the end Tangier, Rabat and Marrakesh seem to me just rehearsals for the world's great masterpiece, Fez. In particular, the Bali Medina, the walled Old City, of Fez. The traditional Great City – traditional now, in our post-Enlightenment eyes – is a place of visual harmony, of vistas and prospects, squares, spires and domes. Old Fez is the exact opposite. The alleyways of the medina are so sinuous, straitened and overbuilt that there is, quite literally, no view. You never know what is around the next corner as it tilts down towards the river. You barely know where the next corner is. There is no angle that can lead the eye upwards more than 30ft. The rooflines are a mystery. The medina from the air reveals nothing about the medina on the ground. The eye is made useless./pimg width='1' height='1' src='http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/266/f/3854/s/8fd67d2/mf.gif' border='0'/div class='mf-viral'table border='0'trtd valign='middle'a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/sendemail2.html?title=Best+for+getting+lost:+Fezlink=http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/africa/best-for-getting-lost-fez-1888469.html" target="_blank"img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/images/emailthis2.gif" border="0" //a/tdtd valign='middle'a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/bookmark.cfm?title=Best+for+getting+lost:+Fezlink=http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/africa/best-for-getting-lost-fez-1888469.html" target="_blank"img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/images/bookmark.gif" border="0" //a/td/tr/table/divbr/br/a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/63018477929/u/159/f/3854/c/266/s/150824914/kg/63/a2.htm"img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/63018477929/u/159/f/3854/c/266/s/150824914/kg/63/a2.img" border="0"//a

The allure is clear: beautiful beaches of powder-white sand, fascinating townscapes and tranquil waters with excellent scuba and snorkel potential.

Met nog twee maanden te gaan tot de presidents- en parlementsverkiezingen moeten de Verenigde Naties en de Afrikaanse Unie alle zeilen bijzetten om geweld…
