The present government of South Africa should carry much of the blame in this disaster. They have stupidly stood my and and let it happen because they didn't want to see Mugabe loose face.

Every I think Robert Mugabe doesn't set a new record in economic mismanagement, he never fails to disappoint. A million percent inflation is a world record.

Whatever it is, it is too little for the working poor to accept. Raise it and that will solve the problem/sarc

That's $255 million Zimbabwe dollars. It doesn't mean a lot in a country where even that much money is worthless.

Hey, this is our role model, they started with economic stimulus checks in election year, and ethanol, no drilling, import tariffs.

He might - I heard Jimmuh's kinda stringy and tastes like chicken.

Home Rule....
One man, one vote...
Africa for Africans...
End Investments in White ruled Africa...
End White Colonialism...
End Apartheid....
These were the demands of the Left and Africans....
They have it....
They’re welcomed to it...
It’s all theirs to enjoy..
Just don’t ask me to care.
I’m more interested in avoided the same mistakes HERE.

The only workable system there is barter. The money will lose some value by the next day, but the items value (relative to one another) will remain constant. A chicken for four loaves of bread, a bag of onions for a liter of beer, you get the picture.
Hopefully those poor folks have enough things to trade to keep body and soul together!
