CAPE TOWN - The day after last month's election in Zimbabwe, the Cape Times (of Cape Town) carried a front-page story on the South African government's new policy to "turn the tide against poverty" by cutting back on the tax-funded opulence of African National Congress politicians. President Thabo Mbeki's private jet would be sold and he would in future travel by South African Airways. There would be no more mansions and Mercedes limousines for ministers, and no more full-page advertisements in the newspapers singing the praises of the ANC government. This story appeared on April 1.
