Tiger Woods affairs and recent divorce from his Swedish wife, Elin, cannot have escaped anyone's attention. In fact it has beeen quite well covered in the media even here in Zimbabwe. My work colleagues, however found Elin's behaviour difficult to understand when they read about it in the papers. If Elin had been a Zimbabwean woman, they argued, it would had been a different scenario. Elins mother would had immediately paid her daughter a visit and asked:
-Is he a good father to the children?
-Yes
-Does he provide food on the table?
-Yes
-Does he come home at night?
-Yes
-Then what's the problem?
It makes one realise that there are many cultural obstacles remaining before women can enjoy equal rights in Zimbabwe.
