Reality really is stranger than fiction.
No mentions of the sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe,
by the U.S. and Britain.
Currency would go up in value of Mugabe agrees
to leave office.

I can bet my bottom dollar that Zimbabweans will have the last laugh. We now know what’s at stake and we also know who is with us & who is against. We also now know that there’s a good number of African “journalists” who have no clue whatsoever about the need to economically liberate Zimbabwe from the control of our FORMER colonial masters. Sadly they are the ones who seem to be in the majority. Ndesanjo Macha is obviously not Zimbabwean & sadly the info she has is coming from dubious or hostile sources.
The US Senate sanctions law is about stopping us from believing that Zim’s resources (land, minerals, etc) belong to Zimbabweans NOT multi-nationals. I would rather have a $100million Zim dollar note than have outsiders controlling our means of economic production (land, labour,etc). Besides we can simply remove nine zeros from the currency & can continue to do it for as long it takes!!!
