Actually, the misspelling in the title suggests a phrase: "Mugabe is so greedy he would mug a bee." ;)

Close to finished by all accounts. He'd better have sentries.

Wait a minute. Isn't Mr. Mugabe simply carrying out the Democrat playbook? The only difference that I can see is that Mugabe just went to the next logical step - grabbing people's property without compensation.

"President Mugabe expressed disappointment with the land use, saying only 44 per cent of the land distributed is being fully utilised" Geez...I'm so shocked that people who get things for nothing don't have a work ethic.

Nobody expresses surprise except Mugabe. He has a weak or failed state on his hands.

Uganda is not doing so badly. Kenya is also doing fairly well.

..." grabbing people's property without compensation."
Not exactly. The operative word in the whole thing is missing. That word is "white".
They didn't take the land of black people or green people. These were racist Socialists/Commies and we looked the other way.
One wonders what the people are now eating with the formerly productive farmlands unworked. Maybe we are feeding them, too. Or lending them money so they can support other socialist groups with their purchases.

The new farmers are unable to raise bank loans because their properties are formally owned by the government and they have no individual title deeds. Without loans, they cannot buy seed, fertiliser or farming equipment and the regime has broken a pledge to supply them with tools.
*** Mugabe did to himself, and made black farmers fools in front of the world.

They'll be growing Kat in a few months and the region will plunge into another round of mass starvation.

well, im glad to see things are coming back around for mugabe...
Instead, his speeches are dominated by attacks on Tony Blair, who he claims is plotting to recolonise Zimbabwe.
they should be so lucky..

"About 400 white farmers remain in Zimbabwe."
Where's the u.n.? This is obviously ethnic cleansing. Why can't they help these poor people? Oh, that's right. Never mind.
I would contribute if there leaving zimbabwe is a financial issue.
