Why steal Zimbabwe?

Posted on by

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.

    2. “a total shithole of a country” Is that the elected officials, the poeple, the economy, the culture, or just your feeling after having visited?

      It’s just shithole tends to be sort of a blanket term and I’m curious about how you made the assessment-If I know more maybe I can agree.

    3. I don’t want to buy the country, I just want to buy the name of the country. I’ve always thought “Zimbabwe” sounded cool. :)

    4. Dave – just a general impression. Thuggish government, once decent economy run into the ground, etc.

    5. Actually I am a Rhodesia kind of a guy. As for Zimbabwe, it is probably the only country I could afford. Mugabe will be banging on about the Brits until he croaks or someone croaks him.

    7. Wouldn’t it be too heavy to carry? ..heh nah seriously If I were him I’d be saying.

      “that’ll be $1.95 + GST (instant billionaire)…but there’s more…and here have it, I F***ed it up anyway, mind the mass graves, “
