Zimbabwean President, Robert Mugabe instructed the Commissioner General of Zimbabwe Police Republic, Augustine Chihuri to arrest and detain the whole Zimbabwean Olympic Team members immediately they arrived the Harare International Airport on Tuesday, August 23. Zimbabwe which is one of the countries in the Olympics without a medal presented a team of 31 athletes. The closest any of the athletes came to win a contest was at the 8th position. Mr. Mugabe who is incensed with the teams performance told the Police Chief to arrest all the team members and detain them. We have wasted the countrys money on these rats we call athletes. If you are not ready to sacrifice and win even copper or brass medals (referring the 4th and 5th positions) as our neighbors Botswana did, then why do you go to waste our money he said.

I bought a bunch of Iraqi Dinars once for 25 dollars for when they got back on their feet.
Can we trade Hope Solo for them?
Isn’t there somebody in the old man’s entourage who’s armed and wants to be the new supreme leader? Bueller?
Some Nigerian prince keeps telling me I won a trillion Zimbabwean dollars. Maybe I'll just buy them on Ebay.
I always had kind of a vague sense that we spent untold billions attacking them in Colombia, disrupting operations, so they just moved over to Mexico. I could be completely wrong, could be entirely different people, but the timing was kind of right.
This guys a peace of work he turned the breadbasket of Africa into a basket case... The employment rate in his country is now a whopping 18% The nation that at one time fed most of Southern Africa now must import food just to keep from starving. A “good” job in this nation, if you can find one might pay you $15 a day...and he vilifies those that cross the border to find work...
Graft and corruption are rampant and he’s worried about the money spent on the Olympic athletes..
Anything to deflect from your own incompetence.
To all members of Black Lives Matter: move back to an African country like Zimbabwe where you will be treated so much better.
Do THOSE black lives matter?
His presidential palace looks like the White House with all sorts of gold plumbing and all.
Any government who punishes their athletes for not winning a medal in the Olympics should have their teams banished from participating in international sports. That would include the World Cup and Olympics.
Some are actually white, believe it or not, including the star of the Zimbabwe Olympic team, swimmer Kirsty Coventry.
You beat me to it, Butlerweave.
I was going to ask “What do you call the Zimbabwe Olympic contestants?”
“DINNER”
How in the world is Mugabe still alive? How can a guy like this ever sleep at night knowing everyone in the entire country wants him dead?
BobbyMugabe is a graduate of the Kim Jong Un School of Management. And the royal hyenas are hungry.

#31: Re there being a white member of the Zimbabwe Olympic team, Kirsty Coventry, aka “White Meat”.
NO way. It's not even worth the paper it's printed on.
It's still bad down there, the president has been coddling the socialist guerrillas and they have been consolidating strength as they did in Venezuela. If they don't shut down the president soon they'll be exactly where they were before president Uribe cleaned up and it will be a very sorry affair much like Venezuela.
“I bought a bunch of Iraqi Dinars once for 25 dollars for when they got back on their feet.”
I know some guys who did similar but more money. How did that work out?
