I doubt it very much rainy, as most have relocated to other areas or left the country completely. The original ones wont return.
According to my sky news sourses that is. :wink: Who ARE now In Zimbabwee and not on the border like they were before the elections, as are all tv people, so even is army seem to have taken a back seat.
It’s a bit of a parable for our times though isn’t it?
Black African politicians (i.e. the corrupt Mugabe) kick out ”white” farmers who they say are leeching on the country and not contributing anything. The usual left wing claptrap about ”colonialist oppressors” and so on.
So all the farms are handed back to ”the people” – who proceed to screw the entire enonomy up big time. I couldn’t even begin to imagine 100,000% inflation.
Net result will be mass starvation (but not of course amongst the politicians and their cronies) – people dying in their thousands – followed closely by civil war and ‘genocide’ (i.e. one tribe massacring another as they have done for hundreds of years) – Bob Geldorf et al will hold ”save the world concerts’ – well meaning dupes will donate money via collecting sites set up in high street Banks – the charity Nazis will all move out there to ‘feed the people’ – numerous lefties will wring their hands on equally numerous talk shows and blame the ”white” farmers – who got kicked out in the first place (remember???) – everything will be the fault of ”colonialism” – …. and so it goes on and on and on.
Yes it is one terrible mess. Giving to the Africans was never about just the south of the country though, it went all over and Geldofs intentions were always for the good.
We need good people around there are just not enough of them.
Especially when it comes to the running of a country.
Sadly I’ve got myself into a ”devil you know is better than the devil you don’t” syndrome.
By this I mean that we all pretty much know where Robert Mugabe is coming from. After all he’s been in power for some 28 years.
But do we REALLY know anything about his supposed successor, Morgan Tsvangirai ???
Chances are that he will turn out to be just as bad. Only difference will be the number of the Swiss bank account where the bribes etc will be deposited.
He took up where Blair left off over ‘make poverty history’ by sending bulldozers into the shanty towns.
Most despots, when they’re gone, however evil they might heve been, leave one or two things that might have been seen with hindsight as benefits – Saddam Hussein (stong unified state of Iraq), Tito (strong unified state of Yugoslavia), Hitler (the VW company) etc, etc. In the case of Mugabe I can’t think of anything positive that the world will remember him for, except perhaps his colourful shirt.
Well at least his successor will have a nice big fleet of luxury cars to gad about in – not to mention the two or three ”palaces” and several huge farms !!!

I heard that two journalists were held on spying charges yesterday for entering Zimbabwe. One’s an american and the other a Briton. Mugabe is holding on still i see… or is the new government going to be just as brutal? I hope these guys get a fair hearing.
Are you kidding ??? No chance !!!
