I read the news today, oh boy!

^Nothing will change – not unless there is a coalition at the very least, and a total regime change at best; and even then – how do they come back from such ruin? Not quickly, that’s for certain. The Mugabe family are the biggest landowners in the country, bar none (I don't see anyone grabbing that from them and he won't be prosecuted), and aside from orchestrating unspeakable violence, Mnangagwa is alleged to have been involved in the very ugly illicit diamond trade and has who knows what other fingers in what pies. It seems to have become quite normal for criminals and madmen to ascend to the highest office in the land, while feathering their own nests very nicely thank you! We have one of them too, of course. Kleptocracy rules, SA. The world has gone stark raving bonkers.
 
Of course the poor people who fled Zimbabwe, believe, in their ignorance, that they can now return to their families, and the country they loved so much, and that they will find jobs in a magically healed economy. There might be trouble brewing for The Crocodile and his cronies when they don’t deliver. Reminds me of another Groot Krokodil - they appear to be common in this neck of the woods! And if it wasn’t all so crazy it would be hilarious that Mnangagwa’s faction in Zanu-PF is named ‘Lacoste’ – I’m sure the company must be delighted. One just never knows when a military dictator might annex one's logo!!
 
The inevitable jokes are doing the rounds of course – Q. Where is the capital of Zimbabwe? A. In a Swiss bank account.

Ruby, you just put it across so much better than I could ever do. Love the 'Lacoste' one. That sums it up for me. There is a black lady working in our company canteen who is from Zim. I chat to her once in a while. She says there is no way she is ever going back. She reckons it does not matter who replaces Bob, the country is basically screwed.
