Mugabe's A Legend......

...ary wanker!!




Zimbabwe is clearly on the edge of complete collapse with poor locals fleeing the declining conditions into South Africa where they are hunted down and sent back, only to turn straight around again. A local explains the situation succinctly:

'"We paid someone 100 South African rand ($A16.40) to take us from the Zimbabwean side to the South African side, but then we met robbers and they took all our money," said Mr Vandira, 20, a jobless builder who wants a job to support his elderly mother back home.
"They had a pistol and clubs and they beat my friend, so his tooth has been knocked loose," he said. "Yes, it's a risk, but it is better than being in Zimbabwe."

Meanwhile the tyrant Mugabe keeps the craziness coming by forcing retailers to slash their prices causing shops to empty without the ability to re-stock. The situation appears to be reaching it's dire end:

'I snatched up two packets of bacon. I don't eat bacon from one year to the next.
We are all behaving abnormally. Because we all know that before long there will be nothing left in the shops and there will be no fuel and we will have to hunt around the black market for food and fuel, and even that is bound to dry up and then everything will stop.
Everyone knows that what the Government of Robert Mugabe is doing is not just bungling, not just senseless -- but mad.
It feels as though we are slipping, out of control, God only knows into what.'

With all the noble statements regarding the need to intervene in Iraq in order to help Iraqi's (albeit after no weapons were found), I'm sure Zimbabweans wonder where we are on this one. Or the Sudanese for that matter.
