We can be quite sure they will NOT be building the NEW Zimbabwe

China is now Zimbabwe’s second largest trading partner after South Africa and leading arms supplier, benefiting immensely from Harare’s blind mortgaging of natural resources in exchange for arms and other military technology. The government has already granted China mineral concessions for gold, platinum, lithium, aluminum and zinc to mention but a few.

LATEST: China demands diamonds and oil drilling rights to print and back NEW Zimbabwe currency

We now also now know what the NEW Zimbabwean currency will be -- the Chinese RENMINBI

You asked Zoomzoom for paragraphs in the other thread, she obliged, would you also be a lamb and stop with the unnecessary bold sentences and random use of caps lock?

I did notice that you have dropped the vivid colors and I appreciate it.
Sorry -- old habits die hard
At least it is spaced correctly and you can read it OK
I am terribly frustrated thinking about the effort it is going to take to type in Caligraphics

Oh look, another racist trying to minimise and deny the achievements of African civilisations, there's a new one.
IT IS A RUIN
Just like the rest of the country
The INDIGENOUS tribal people are having to get the CHINESE to build the NEW Zimbabwe
Makes me think the OLD INDIGENOUS tribal peoples ALSO had to get someone ELSE to build the OLD Zimbabwe
..
WHAT else would you like to know ?

Do you think INDIGENOUS tribal people are building this ?

Of course they did. They also maintained it well, improved it and built many other such structures around the globe.
But then they were colonised, and the colonisers broke and stole everything.

So sad...

Just FYI it takes next to zero effort to type in chinese characters. You type it out phonetically using the alphabet on a normal keyboard and the computer automatically converts it to the relevant characters as you type, kind of like autocorrect.

Your random capitalization tourettes, colours and non-sensical punctuation take far more energy to type.

Soo thumbsuck based on your own prejudices? Thought so. Here's some bronze artwork from the Kingdom of Benin trigger you further. More evidence of a sophisticated African culture.

Aaah yes a 'modern smart city'. At least we know who writes Ramaphosa's speeches and who he ultimately answers to.
ZIMBABWEAN POVO in the country are STARVING -- BUT -- the ruling party would rather have a NEW multi billion Capital
STUPID STUPID people have fallen right into the Chinese trap !

There are a number of You Tube videos covering the modern Chinese SILK ROAD // ROUTE to the WEST

Here is one


Watch and contemplate WHAT ideas the Chinese have for AFTER Zimbabwe
( seeing as they have most of the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa ALREADY tied up !)
and
ALL that stupid people like yourself can talk about is -- NONSENSE !

They must be so proud of the decolonization.

Mboweni: South Africa plans to help bail out Zimbabwe

South Africa is planning to extend short-term credit to Zimbabwe and also to help it write off its US$7.4-billion external debt, to prevent its neighbour spiralling out of control. Critics say this will be a waste of money unless it can pressure Zanu-PF to make political reforms.

It's like everyone on this thread is intentionally ignoring the fact that there is a severe drought in Zimbabwe. Saying stupid things like "They should grow their own vegetables" and "they are just lazy" is just idiotic and lacks any compassion whatsoever. Droughts like this will become more widespread with climate change whatever Pegasus thinks.

You are right in one sense, it is caused by a drought of property rights.

Normal countries with proper economies can simply import grain if there is a shortage, however Mugabage and the Zanu-pf kicked out all the productive people and taxes the rest to smithereens to pay for his hired goons.

Climate change isn't to blame here, the benevolence of socialism and central planning is what is causing these people to starve.

OK OK -- I see it now
They must be black Africans as they are all holding onto / playing with their -- umthondo

South Africa: Zulu men wearing penis sheaths and ornamental jewellery. Photograph, ca. 1910 (?).

Here they are -- off to build -- the RUINS ....:ROFL:

The scientific journal Personality and Individual Differences has recently published research on the average erect penis lengths of men around the world, and according to the study, the men of the Republic of Congo are the biggest at an average penis length of 18 cm

The hard truth about penis size around the world

Congo = BENIN

THIS explains a LOT ........

WHAT does China want from Africa -- EVERYTHING !

China wants everything from Africa: its strategic location, its oil, its rare earth metals, and its fish, leaving African nations indebted to Beijing.

“As a South African, I've seen China's activities on the continent up close,” says Ted Bauman, Senior Research Analyst at Banyan Hill Publishing. “It's clear that China's primary goal with foreign investment is geopolitical, not economic. The most consequential investments are undertaken by state owned companies, not by Chinese private capital. They tend to focus on infrastructure like highways, ports and dams, and on public networks like the electrical grid.”


What China Wants From Africa? Everything

You can now go and tell that to the poor starving povo in Zimbabwe ........

Reducing the explosion of colours was indeed a step torward rehabilitation. Next work on losing the infantile upper caps obsession. Finally focus on injecting something vaguely resembling sense into your posts and eventually your posts might potentially some day resemble something intelligible.
