Obama will now make the importation of these poor Marxist tools into the USA for “transformation” purposes a priority, I’m not kidding.

Good thing for Zimbabwe’s people that they have a leader who’s selflessly concerned about their well being and is above personal corruption. /s

Rhodesia was known as the “BREAD BASKET” of Africa. The white owned farms and the blacks they employed were so prolific they were counted on to help feed the CONTINENT. Zimbabwe is now a starving, ruined, nation. It is beyond sad.
