We were honoured to host Patrick Neate, fresh off the plane from Zimbabwe the evening before, at Woolfson & Tay. In conversation with writer Rosemary Furber, Patrick spoke about the need to engage with Africa on a honest and respectful manner. He enlightened us with the background to Mugabe's ascension to power and the struggles of the nation since its branding as a rogue state. This made for an interesting and animated discussion.
