I found most Africans, friendly trustworthy and industrious. Though those deeply involved in the political side of Zanu-PF included some nasty pieces of work.
A timid white woman in Harare would soon have been bedded however by an African, and just as likely by a group of African friends who could 'witness' that the woman had been willing...
I know of one white couple whose husband had been very concerned that his beautiful, submissive wife would be the target of local Africans if they knew of her and her beauty and character. He had effectively restricted his wife to the grounds of their luxury villa, and declined to employ African domestic staff or guards so they could not spread the word of his wife's beauty. It did not stop the Africans getting to her. He was away one night when an African climbed over the villa wall in the night. Zimbabwe police, even if the phones are working, did not come out at night.
So his wife, remembering the advice many white woman are given in the face of possible ******* not to resist, did not resist...the next morning she told the departing African when she next expected her husband to be away...
