I would go further: if your salary is paid by the taxpayers, you should not vote. In a large publicly held corporation, the board forms a compensation committee of the independent directors to set top salaries. The notion of those feeding at the public trough having a say in how much everyone else is taxed to fill the trough is offensive to fundamental fairness.

"There are black people still landless out there and, as long as those people remain, we will continue to take farms for resettlement," Mutasa reportedly told the local media. "White farmers do not represent the future of farming in this country, blacks do. At the end of it all, I don't expect to see any more white farmers, just successful black farmers. But of course, like with everything in life, there are the lucky ones; only the lucky ones among the outgoing farmers could remain." Translation: "The only white farmers who will last will be the ones who bribe me. And, even they will lose their farms in the end."

My daughter, who has studied African politics a bit (for some inexplicable reason), said the same thing, but admits given what's going on all about them, it's quite fragile and going the wrong direction. Give it a year or ten to be back at the level of the rest of them. Pity.

Yep, sounds like the plan is working alright! Actually, the plan IS working. Once the farm system is destroyed, then Mugabe decides who lives and who starves through his control of how aid is distributed. His power will be total. Which WAS the plan

All of Zimbabwe's continuing problems are the fault of the incompetent United Nations as well as the fault of the incompetent Zimbabwe government.
