Doesn't matter how bad Zimbabwe gets. It could quite literally be an apocalyptic wasteland and it will still be labelled an African success story because it was decolonized.

Why do you think Mugabe is held in such reverence.

They are now issuing new banknotes: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-50374402
Queues have formed outside banks in Zimbabwe as people hope to get hold of the country's first Zimbabwe dollar notes to be issued since 2009.

The currency was scrapped a decade ago because of hyperinflation when prices were almost doubling every day.

Zimbabwe's central bank hopes the new notes will ease a severe cash shortage as the country suffers a deepening economic crisis.

The bank has played down fears that the move will fuel further inflation.

Currently inflation is thought to be about 300%.

Those are rookie numbers. They know they can do better. Time to break out the old trillion Dollar notes again!

Technically it could be the worst performing currency in the universe.
