I agree with the comments made by the prior friends.

Business men are just playing the game without any regards to the feelings and well being of the population.

It is hard for me to believe that they praise Mr. Mugabe and blame themselves for the poor state of affairs. Once the becon of light has turned to the tunnel of darkness!

My thoughts are with my brothers and sisters!

It sounds like good old New South Africa, only the rich have to suffer along with the poor. If only the regional leaders will get their act together and start cooperating economically. The name of the game is self-reliance. Sadly, our greedy brown-nosed leadership, have sung the song that our savior has a pale skin and brings lank dollars and with him, on his back, the african renaissance. South Africa’s unemployment is already in the mid 40′s,even though our so called independence was GIVEN us only a bit more than ten years ago. Looks like in terms of pace of decline, we are years ahead of Zim.

Hi,

I believe that these people are simply very scared, so they just say what they believe is expected from them. They are scared because they don’t want to see their property stolen like the farmers were. They are scared because they don’t want to be beaten up or jailed by Mugabe’s bunch of thugs. But more importantly, they are counting. They know Mugabe is old and will soon be replaced. So they probably think that it is better to keep in good terms with whatever will remain of Mugabe’s party after he dies or leave, so that they can continue to use graft and corruption in the future regime. They are probably wrong in doing so, as you said. But it is a very typical mistake of business men. They usually have a very poor understanding of politics.
