Mugabe, who has close ties with two countries with controversial nuclear programs Iran and North Korea, spoke of his intention Saturday, the radio station reported.
It was not clear how Mugabe intended to use any uranium deposits since the country does not have a nuclear power plant. The president announced plans in the 1990s to acquire a reactor from Argentina, but nothing else was ever heard about the proposal.
"Zimbabwe will develop power by processing uranium, which has recently been found in the country," Mugabe said, according to the radio.

Even the thought of it is chilling.
I doubt he has anyone left in the country with the knowledge needed for this.
I wonder where feeding his country's people ranks on his list of priorities.
... then Zimbabwe will harness the energy of a thousand monkeys flying out of my butt to provide cheap, reliable energy to all its neighbors in the world community!
It's really time to let the birds fly.
This racist white farmer killing fool can't even grow potatoes on a farm let alone process uranium.
Fortunately, Mugabe is too old to develop a nuke before he meets his maker.
Given the state of Zim's leadership, they are more likely to try to burn it instead of coal in a conventional power plant, and then be surprised when it doesn't catch fire.
Good God! I'm just ending up what was a very nice week-end and now this !!!!!
Beyond imagination,isn't it?
He'd blow himself up, and make his country the other one which improved after being nuked, and a reminder to about fifty countries which would be improved with a little nuking. Too bad they feel they have to work it out themselves. We can nuke 'em for free.
to his starving people, "let them eat yellowcake?"
North Korea can't seem to grow food, yet they are able to process uranium.
Most excellent U3O8 reference.
The french are always for sale.
Delightful.
The only consolation is they are so stupid they're only likely to blow themselves up with the thing.
