Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to just give the land back to the evicted farmers?Woody wrote: ↑Thu Jan 07, 2021 7:24 pmWhat could possibly go wrong with this plan

The only people, apar, from the Zimbabwean kleptocrats, and their dependent minions, in power, to see any money come out of Zimbabwe will be the Chinese.Woody wrote: ↑Thu Jan 07, 2021 7:24 pmWhat could possibly go wrong with this plan

Read between the lines in this fawning article from a Zimbabwean government friendly (but nominally independent) mouthpiece.

I would have loved to hear Cape's view on this. It would have been colourful.

As a lapsed Catholic, who was taught about purgatory, a kind of halfway house between heaven and hell where the sinner is sent to find sufficient grace to enter heaven, I suspect my penance, if I believed, would be to sit in purgatory listening to Capetonian and Robert Mugabe rowing. Of course Mugabe was a practicing Catholic and the only Grace he had was his second wife!
