Another chapter in the glorious saga of Zimbabwean Economics

So when nobody wants to invest in your country because the inflation rate is around 7000%, there is no raw material, no sales, no power, and your workers are constantly hungry, what do you do to shelter and motivate the existing investments and firms? Simple, you nationalise them, by kicking out all the foreign owned firms and giving those firms to your comrades to further rape, pillage, rob and plunder.

Just like they did with the white owned commercial farms. What happened? The white farmers were kicked or chased off or left for pastures anew. The farms were given over to the fellow thugs or poor farmers. They had no seed, no irrigation, no tools, no money, no market, no nothing. With the result? the breadbasket of Africa now needs food aid.

This was the funniest quote, "We cannot continue to have a skewed economic environment where our people are not able to fully participate,” Paul Mangwana, the indigenisation and economic empowerment minister. Watch and learn how to completely drive a country into the toilet.

All this to be taken with a grain of piquant salt!!!
