"Indigenisation" of the economy was one of President Robert Mugabe's main campaign themes in the March election. Farming, hairdressing and baking are among the sectors now reserved for "indigenous", or black, Zimbabweans. "1 January is a month to come and we are putting in place measures for enforcement in the event that they do not comply," the state-owned Herald newspaper quotes Mr Magosvongwe as saying. He said that Zimbabweans were being identified to take over businesses to prevent shortages of goods. According to the Herald the "reserved sectors of the economy" include: Retail and wholesale business, hairdressers, beauty salons, bakers, employment agencies, agriculture, transport, estate agencies and advertising agencies.[/quote] Another great policy from the madman Mugabe.

Fucking Rhodesia. Mugabe caused Rhodesia to go from being like a post ussr poland, a growing and diverse economy, to literally shitty by african standards. To put an idea into the economic policies of this great president, he completely stripped all the farmers of their land, that they'd been tending for generations after generations since the fucking 1700s, then redistributed it to others who had no idea how to farm, then sold all the equipment since they had no idea how to use it, causing there to be a huge lapse in their economy as their entire industry was literally dismantled overnight. He's responsible for the overinflation, ironically enough, Rhodesia produces a lot of diamonds and gold. In his quest to rid his country of "Colonialism", he pretty much pushed the reset button, culturally, socially, economically, politically, and caused a country with a currency that rivaled the dollar and euro, to one that depends on and uses the british pound and dollar.

Frankly, unless you intend on making your fortune by cleaning up some of the mess when Mugabe's inevitably put down, why are you still even there? Get the fuck out unless you can't afford it. And if you can't, I'm sure they'll happily deport you somewhere if you ask to be allowed to leave Zimbabwe since they obviously don't want you there in the first place.

Mugabes policies are going to force them out. The "indigenous population" (whatever that means) will take decades to clear up the mess, and Mugabe isn't going to make it easy for them to start doing that when he incompetently mismanages the economy so much.

My uncle was forced to leave when Rhodesia became Zimbabwe, and he fought in the bush war. This guy is just terrible, literally beyond words.

Also that slogan is hilarious. Vote mugabe, in 1980 we did it, lets do it again.

Because that worked sooo well with Idi Amin in Uganda?

Mugabe is fucking hilarious all the time. But it's really just like, how do you even think like that. In an effort to combat homelessness, he literally destroyed homes and caused over 2.4 million more people to become homeless. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Murambatsvina[/url] before.

RIP Rhodesia

I read about the bush war in an excellent book written by Paul Moorcraft and Peter McLaughlin, "The Rhodesian War". Reading about that Selouts Scouts raid into a base disguised as guerillas left me stunned. I mean, 12-20 guys rode in 2 jeeps into a base, unrecognized, and then proceed to blast the living shit out of anyone who was there. I don't remember how many terrorist casualties there were, but no Selous Scout was harmed. Those guys must have been the best fighting force the world has seen. Now I have to find a book that shows whether US took lessons or not of the bush war and applied them to Vietnam. Too bad the political leadership of Rhodesia understood that what was driving a part of the black population to fight on ZIPRA/ZANLA side was due to marxism/socialism, when actually they were only joining the guerrillas in order to gain rights recognition and the power of vote.

i am majorly surprised some of the Zimbabwe Military hasn`t up and revolted yet tho i suppose its only a matter of time before someone notices how much of Racist prick Mugabe is

this guy is a fucking moron won't this fuck up there economy. like very fucking badly.

[editline]24th November 2013[/editline] Somehow we the British are blamed for it too because we refused to help a racial war.

[QUOTE=theevilldeadII;42964758]this guy is a fucking moron won't this fuck up there economy. like very fucking badly.[/QUOTE] As if their economy isn't fucked beyond repair already.

My family (including myself) used to live in Zimbabwe about 10 years ago. We left because shit like this keeps happening. Basically, if you're white, they want you to fuck off.

I see no troubles. Everybody is a billionaire. Not alot of so called "developed" or "Industrialized" countries can say something like that.

[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;42964834]As if their economy isn't fucked beyond repair already.[/QUOTE] then fuck it he is somehow putting there's in a Black Hole then.

The only comfort is that the guy is over 80 years old and probably won't be making things worse for more than a decade from now on.
