Finally, we were rather amused by a story in the Sunday Mail’s business section. It proclaimed that Zimbabwe was back in ARSO and had even attended an ARSO meeting in Cairo last month. The meeting was hosted by Egyptian ARSOs.
In case you are wondering, ARSO stands for the African Organisation for Standardisation, according to the Sunday Mail. The acronym would more likely suggest the African Regional Standards Organisation. Whatever the case, it is rather unfortunate that this august body did not contemplate the consequences when it devised its appellation.
Meanwhile, David Coltart may have been alarmed on Tuesday to hear ZTV referring to “Cde Coltart Chimurenga”. !!!!
