Well if one side of a border is closed it kinda renders it fairly useless in the grand scheme of things

Protests would've started zim side, government has banned importation of stuff to stop capital outflow, the ultimate "band-aid to a gunshot" solution I've ever seen.

Commercial cargo has been stuck at Beitbridge Border Post for the past seven days as importers struggle to get permits to ship goods that are restricted from Open General Import Licence under Statutory Instrument (SI) number 64 of 2016.

The SI tightens screws on the import of basic commodities including food items, building material, furniture, toiletries and cooking oil among other things.

Eish, that is going to cause some havoc in people's lives!

The list also includes electronic items, second hand vehicles etc. The list seems to cover everything you could possibly import from SA i.e. a total ban on imports, at a time when Zimbabwe is not manufacturing / producing much of anything.

Isn't Zimbos an offensive word?

Back to eating rats and sand again. Stupidity knows no bounds.

Why would it be, something like Saffies ?

 

[supersunbird]

Why would it be, something like Saffies ?

Because apparently any contraction like Japs is offensive, so that makes it all offensive, including Saffers...*

According to SJW motards.

 

[Kloofvreter]

Why would it be, something like Saffies ?

Just asking, since a few years back everyone was offended when Obama or someone said Pakis.

Whenwe is an offensive word. Zimbo not so much.

Whenwe is an offensive word. Zimbo not so much.

WhenWe is hardly offensive, it does quite accurately describe the Rhodesians who left around 1980 or before, and who long for their old country back and constantly talk about it.
