A secret plan has been hatched by by Robert Mugabe's most loyal supporters to evict the last of Zimbabwe's white farmers from their land before his 85th birthday.

Their leader is already planning to celebrate the occasion with vast quantities of champagne and caviar, despite half his country facing starvation.

But just in case the Bollinger laid on for President Mugabe's 85th birthday does not provide quite enough fizz, his acolytes are preparing an extra surprise for the occasion - a fresh onslaught against Zimbabwe's last white farmers.

Police, prosecutors and magistrates loyal to the Zimbabwean president are understood to be co-ordinating a strategy of mass summons against the few hundred remaining white owners, aiming to bring them to court and serve eviction notices over the coming week.

Giving props, or going on vacation. Whichever comes first.

A better question would be, “Do the white voters for Obama feel like Cathy Buckle (who voted for Mugabe) yet??”

I would recommend they pack up and stake their claim on the smoking wreck that will be Zimbabwe soon after they leave.

Final evection of white farmers?!?

If the following statistics are correct, who in their right mind (white or black) would want to stay in Rhodesia…er I mean Zimbabwe

”In Zimbabwe, meanwhile, inflation has reached 231m%, unemployment stands at 94% and 3,467 people have died in recent months from cholera."

Why the last white farmer didn't leave Zimbabwe years ago is a mystery to me.

I do not understand the problem. The last, clinging vestiges of the Ian Smith regime, as well as the last of the Colonialist whites will be driven from the memory of the people of Zimbabwe. The name Rhodesia will vanish from history. It is a time for change and celebration.
Total unemployment, mass starvation, pestilence, runaway inflation, plagues...mere inconveniences of the moment.
Acknowledge the reality of a NEW WORLD.

Is Mugabe going to get a birthday cake made of sawdust too? Because they sure aren't growing much grain there.

And then they’ll sit back and watch the land grow fallow, after which they’ll petition the world for food.

Why would they complain when porkulus is every militant leftists standard for victory. The elites go about their privelaged lives while the grunts revel in the pain they have caused. We've had generations to watch this unfold with little variation.
