What a freaking joke, must be all the confiscated donations from
abroad, You must give it to the Rob idiot. He really can make a plan to earn revenue. Now he will take what he gets or steal for free sell to his people who could have got it for free themselves in the first place. Take what is rightfully theirs (donated) and sell it back to them?


Huge queues formed outside the stores, where people bought as much as they could and then sold them on the streets outside at inflated black market prices.


the last summer harvest yielded only 575 000 tonnes of maize, the national staple, against demand of about 1.8 million tonnes


A single US dollar bill was trading on Wednesday at Zim$70bn, down (from the Zimbabwe perspective), from Zim$45bn late last week

Gosh, this sounds more and more like a pure communist dictatorship e.g. Cuba or North Korea or the old Soviet Union.

Wonder who's funding it, I would be genuinely un-shocked if it was Mbeki with our tax money. Might also be countries like China and Russia (in exchange for commodities etc.) - who incidentally also voted against sanctions for Zim.

The only reason why nothing of substance has happened in Zim is because of the Chinese IMO. And hence why SA has backed Mugabe. We are heavily reliant on China and they are making a pretty penny out of Zim.

It has gone beyond that now. Mugabe is a puppet for ZanuPF militants at this stage - he just does not know it.
