    Joolmk: your prejudice blinds you to a larger lesson – the inevitable results of debauching the currency – and here in the US an extra 13 trillion (equivalent of one years GDP) was promised in the first 60 days of the current administration, on top of 11 trillion in previously accumulated debt – that money from whom? The FED’s printing press? Fool faith and trust in the US government?
    Gold – silver can not be printed by thieving bureaucrats.

    Oh dear! These poor people cannot feed themselves, how terrible……………..Shouldn’t have stolen all the farms from the white farmers who were growing all the food then!!!

    This is not luck. The leadership that Zimbabwe has did not come from another universe. Zimbabweans supported the ideas this leadership advanced and kept voting for this leadership. I see you are from US. I seriously doubt if Americans would ever vote for a leader who says even one percent of what Mugabe has been saying for years and years and was repeatedly elected on this platform.

    it takes a long time to see the food from planting. When you are starving now all you can do is spend your time digging for gold to eat now.

    The country is collapsing economically due to failed leadership. We should feel lucky to have what we do.

    patently false …
    patently false statement. The entire video shows lush greenery. White Farmers successfully farmed these lands for a century. Give the land back to them and you’ll have food in 3 months.

    Where would they get seeds? get a loan against the land and go buy seeds.

    You could put these people in any african country and the story would be the same.

    This is the normal story of African failure. Sure there are bad leaders, but the people are not hard working and disciplined for success.

    God dammit idiot, no nutrients in the soil for anything to grow, even if they could, where would they get seeds?

    Shortly, they can …
    Shortly, they can not do it because if they plant something, it will be stolen. Moreover, the rightful owner may suffer in the act. Even remaining white farmers do not plant anything anymore, because having a crop is an invitation to squatters.

    All of this is a direct result of the failure of the state to uphold the laws.

    All I gotta say is …
    All I gotta say is WTF?!!!

    I see ample water, lush green land?!!!

    again, all I gotta is W T F ?!!!

    Can’t these people plant something? anything? with all that water and empty green land? why the fk are they starving?

    all those old people look healthy enough to farm potatoes etc

    …..again……W T F ? ! ! ! What the fk is wrong with Africa? So lush and rich in resourcese yet people starving?!! is it the people?

    Did you mean DVD’s, not Blue Ray. nobody uses that but ps3 owners.

    So true. As true as that they have both fishermen and fishing tools. But they said that fishermen occupied their waters, kicked them out of the country, stole and broke all the fishing tools. Who wants to become other fisherman for them?

    Why can’t these lazy pieces of just make their own food, just like every other race that has ever existed.
