Why steal Zimbabwe?

I heard Robert Mugabe on CNN tonight, going on about the British, accusing them of trying to steal his country, or in his own words:

“down with the British, down with the thieves who want to steal our country”.

My immediate reaction to this is why would anyone bother to steal Zimbabwe ….its such a total shithole of a country and would be lucky to be worth about $1 to anyone stupid enough to want to buy it.
