The fact that Mugabe is still popular means Zim including those in exile understand cost-benefit of losing a mainly white economy and gaining their land back is obvious.The proposal for Zim to pay back those farmers is ridiculous unless they are paying for property and development on the land. Mugabe should fire such a minister.
Yes, he certainly is "popular". How many times has he "won" elections and by what margins? What a man.
Yes, Mugabe should certainly consider it ridiculous to pay compensation and should fire the minister. Sadly, it does not look like Hero Bob sees it that way.
In any case those are probably IMF conditional by the same EU and US.
That could be so. And that would be the same lot he has been telling to f**k off.
I had rather sleep hungry and be poor than bend over.
A most admirable attitude. Still, it looks like our brothers down in Zim are beginning to have their doubts on that one.
they'll have dealt with land problem forever.
That is certainly true. But they could have dealt with it forever back then by doing what they now plan to do: pay for the land.
