Somewhere, a white farmer is kicking himself for believing that Mugabe wasn’t going to do this.

Idiot.

""Every company that has tried in the last two months to draw on its export earnings has been told by their bank that the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (the central bank) says it can't be done at the moment because they don't have the money,""

Any foreign company still operating in Zimbabwe almost deserves to lose what they invested there for the sheer stupidity of it.

Looks like Mugabe and Obama have something in common. Income redistribution! Only he calls it ecomnomic enpowerment, a smart word libs use to rob from the RICH(middleclass families) and give to the unmotavatable. I’m not sure who is learning from who

I believe he is intent on destroying his company, not that black folk can’t run a business, but really to steal personal property and interests that people have held for years and give it away based on race is terribly unjust and unwise.

Here's hoping the formerly ubiquitous Cathy Buckle heeded the Go-Away bird chastising her from a nearby tree and got the hell out of Dodge by now.

Watch for them to be starving in a few months and Hussein will send billions as promised. Nobody over there has proven to been able to run a country and feed their people.

If I were a white farmer in Zimbabwe, and I stayed after all the crap that Mugabe has done...I might not expect too much sympathy. I’d certainly set fire to my crop field before I left.

There wouldn’t be a single thing left standing and I would poison the well if I lived there. After I got my family out of course, then anything goes....

Any white farmer still in country can blame only himself.

It's not racism if it's black on white, come on, you should know that! Also, we prefer Socialism. Communism makes it sound like a bad thing.

Only 51%? How generous! I have three students on my bus who are from South Africa. They are white. Their father was lucky to escape alive and the rest of the family pulled their money together to get over here after the family was run off the farm at machete and gunpoint in the middle of the night.

This is just what he needs to turn Zimbabwe around. /s/

How many of his countrymen yearn for a return to Rhodesia?
