You'll have to try harder than that to get a red out of me.
Any dirt on Mugabe is good- as Zim collapses from within, I'll not be surprised to see this thread make a slow century.

HARARE: It has come to this - Zimbabwe is about to run out of the paper to print money on.
Fidelity Printers & Refiners, the state-owned company that tirelessly churns out bank notes for the Mugabe regime, was thrown into a crisis early this month after a German company stopped supplying bank note paper because of concerns over Zimbabwe's recent violent presidential election, widely seen as fraudulent by international observers.
The printing operation slowed drastically. Two-thirds of the 1000-strong workforce was ordered to take leave, and two of the three money-printing shifts were cancelled.
The result on the streets was an immediate cash crunch.
"If you think this currency shortage is bad, wait two weeks. By then it will be a disaster," said a senior Fidelity staffer, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The paper will run out in two weeks, he said....

Despite the recent currency shortage, the Zimbabwe dollar has continued to slide against the US dollar and shopkeepers are increasing prices steeply.
Before the crunch, a beer at a pub in Harare cost $15 billion. At 5pm on July 4, it cost $100 billion ($US4 at the time) in the same bar. An hour later, the price had gone up to $150 billion ($US6).
fucking awesome, I guess there is a limit after all for spiraling inflation

with a credit crunch like that, they will have no choice but remove manually a few 0 from those notes,

When everything else fails, the only way to stop inflation is to run out of paper

It's almost hard to believe now that there was genuine hope, excitment and a sense of promise for the future when Mugabe first came to power.

^ I have seen the mansionesque home of Grace Mugabe near Borrowdale Brook (sp?) in Harae. Huge it is. Very impressive and stately looking.

Actually even more impressive is that she apparently managed to pay for it whilst she was earning a secretaries salary [the sarchasm icon here's probably a bit superfluous I guess]

Mugabe closest thing ever known to a talking chimp. Hated by EVERYBODY in the United Kingdom who is in a right state of mind.

Especially hated by the High Sheriff of Wales, largest county in England who in 2003 had planned to invade Zimbabwe but was overshadowed by the wrongful incursion into Iraq.
"I hate Mugabe, the shitty shit"

Africa has and probably always will be ruled by this kind of monkey. brought to power on a sea of there own peoples blood and then go crazy as soon as he can get his hands on the money, no matter that there are people not 100m living from his front gate dying of hunger.

I read a book about African "leaders" once, what a joke. They are all the same.

Guy in central African Republic bought his wife a Ferrari. Then realised there were no roads around her village so he had a race track built around it so she would have somewhere to drive. (I'm sure that car is in good nick now!) He also woke up one day and decided to crown himself "Emporer for life" (he idolised the Roman emporer Nero) and had a coranation complete with the leafy crown.

Mututu of Zaire was another.

They should be used as real training for special op's chaps.

There is something about poor people suddenly coming into wealth that makes them go like that everywhere in the world.

Grace Mugabe, aka the First Shopper is notorious for her profligacy.
Her loving husband comandeers planes from the national airline for her shopping trips.

They had their first two kids when Mugabe was married to his first wife. The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Zim said there was 'no reason' not to recognise their marriage.

With friends like China and Russia, who needs enemies.

But let's face it, what incentive is there for the ordinary Joe to work any longer. A bottle of beer is 150 billion Zim Dollars. Fuck, I recall when that was GDP and some.

He must realise that he won't go on forever. I feel sickened because I was one that loved him at the begining.

It will not be very long before SA follow into the pits, "Land reform" and farm murders were the first stage in Zimbabwes problems.
