Mugabe really is the apex of political corruption!

    Although we give out about some of our lot, in fairness they don't hold a candle to Mugabe and this army generals that are keeping him in power.

    The Sunday Times has reported that Mugabe is now allowing the state mines be to raided and the diamonds that are there, be taken - and not for use to help the state or its starving people! The top brass apparently are lining their own pockets before any change might come soon when Mugabe might go ...and they know he's time is running out

    Apparently there is enough diamonds in the country alone to pay off their national debt and still have a lot left over to reconstruct. Sadly these are now going into the pockets of Mugabe and his generals, while they force the people living around the mines into forced labour to further their own wealth.

    For those interested, here is the Times article:

    Even if they got rid of Mugabe there will be another despot ready to take over and do it all again.

    There is a good Mugabe, because I bought a mobile phone from him in Tralee. I didn't dare ask him if he was related to the evil one, as I preferred holding the phone in my hand instead of having it shoved up my ass.

    there was a report on the BBC news a few months ago about the attitudes of some Zimbabwean businessmen and their families, it bore remarkable similarities with those here in Ireland, first the property was stolen from the former colonolists and divided up amongst the leaders friends and the wives of the businessmen believed that the houses and cars etc were "gifts from god"

    Its so sad to see Zimbabwe in its current state compared to the way it was 25 or so years ago

    QFT

    I find the history of Zimbabwe/Rhodesia really intriguing for some reason.

    True, the same could be said for many African nations, But once the leaders & hangers-on have feathered their own nests they stop developing the country and to hell with the remainder of the population.

    The Europeans taught them everything they know about bribery and corruption, and people like Mugabe have turned it into an art-form. Everybody gets a hand-out, or nothing gets done.

    They make our shower of crooked bastards look like rank amateurs.
