Robert Mugabe is rooting for Chisora, promises him a seized farm if he wins...

[WladIsTheChamp]

Viva Derek Chisora,pihwa purazi tiende isu varidzi venyika.
Bo does that all the time,anyone who represents the great Republic of Zimbabwe is always recognised regardless of the colour from Kirsty Coventry.The good thing is Mugabe keeps his word.

The idea that the farm was taken from the white man is laughable,there are farms in Zimbabwe which were not necessarily taken away from whites.It's not like whites owned all the land in Zimbabwe.The media once more trying to mess up Derik's rewards,his own father had 15 farms anywhere so nothing new

I see you have heard of this story from your homeland... be proud of your Zimbabwean brother... he is a man of character and honor... look how treat woman... he deserve farm.

But seriously, I am not making political statements, I am just relaying to you a press release from Mugabe...

It's bull**** to suggest that the cattle have died just because the farm doesnt belong to a white man.To the contrary the land resettlement program has been a succes,just like all revolutions it took time to reap the rewards but there are many successful black farmers now.What's even better for the Great Republic is the fact that there are diamonds so expect Zimbabwe to be even better than before within 3-5yrs with or without white men

LOL is that why Zimbabwe went from being called the "bread-basket" of Africa when it was "Rhodesia" to now having to export its grain and now there is starvation and inflation in your country?

You let me know how the "revolutions" are succeding in Venezuela and Cuba, they'll become a huge success just like the Zimbabwean "revolution". What's the annual inflation there now? 1000% a month? I heard you need 10,000,000,0000 Zimbabwean dollars to buy one egg (no exaggeration), if you can find one. How is that revolution working out? Oh, and if things were so great, why have you left?

Zimbabwe wasnt the bread basket as Rhodesia,Zimbabwe supplied SADCC countries as a black nation until 1999.All the great and honourable people of Zimbabwe was take what rightfully belonged to them then had successive droughts from 2001 but now things have changed.When means of production change hands,there is obviously a time lag effect but I guarantee you,go to Zimbabwe right now,that land is not lying idle,black farmers are producing.Black people own mining rights now,they own businesses right now.I'm not saying everything went smoothly but what happened had to happen.

The western media is biased.Why use the term seize?If you know about the Lancaster House conference,you will know that there was to be a willing buyer willing seller program from 1990 being funded by the British government.There was no problem until Tony Blair came to power around 1997.Mugabe tried to talk to Blair and Blair would walk away even at the Chogm meeting.Blair went on to say he wouldnt honour the agreement which was made by a conservative governement.What did you want the Zimbabwean people to do when they went to war for their own land.Have you ever heard about the Land apportionment Act,The Land Tenure Act which forcibly took land from indigenous Zimbabwean people.Why dont people talk about that?Do you know how white people took land in the Midlands?They would just come with lorries,tell everyone to get into the lorry,leave their cattle and all livestock then dump people in remote places where there were no schools,hospitals,roads or anything.Why turn a blind eye on history?

Inflation is 2.5%,where do you get your information from.The monetary problems are no worse than what Argentina had around 2000,what Brazil had in the 90s,what Germany had in the 30s.Didnt all those countries bounce back?

Natural resources won't help your former country, only good governance will. Until African leaders stop stealing from their own people, Africa will be the forsaken continet that it is now. Look at Nigeria with all of its oil, look at Sierra Leone and Liberia with its diamonds, the people are still starving and there are civil wars, and genocide of Africans by Africans.

Why do you lie? Here is an article from the BBC from January 2009 about the inflation rate:

"The country is in the grip of world-record hyperinflation which has left the Zimbabwean dollar virtually worthless - 231,000,000% in July 2008, the most recent figure released."

Things have not gotten better since then. Do not lie, you must be connected to the corrupt Mugabe dictatorship.

You lie like this when 7,000,000 million of your Zimbabwean brothers are starving? You kicked out the men that fed you and seized their farms, now you are starving, and now you ask for those very same men to give you food. Here is the rest of the article:

"It now says seven million Zimbabweans are in need of food aid, up from 5.1 million in June.

WFP regional spokesman Richard Lee said the situation had deteriorated rapidly.

"The economic situation has worsened more dramatically than we had anticipated," he told AFP.

"The agency is being forced to halve the cereal rations given to hungry Zimbabweans so that all the people in need can receive aid."

Hyperinflation

Mr Chinamasa made the announcement as he delivered the annual budget to parliament.

"In line with the prevailing practices by the general public, [the] government is therefore allowing the use of multiple foreign currencies for business transactions alongside the Zimbabwean dollar," he said.

The country is in the grip of world-record hyperinflation which has left the Zimbabwean dollar virtually worthless - 231,000,000% in July 2008, the most recent figure released.

Teachers, doctors and civil servants have gone on strike complaining that their salaries - which equal trillions of Zimbabwean dollars - are not even enough to catch the bus to work each day.

Worthless
A 40-year-old Zimbabwean primary school teacher from the capital Harare, told the BBC news website earlier this week it cost nearly US$2 a day to travel to work, but inflation had reduced the average teacher's wage to the equivalent of US$1 a month.

He said he now made a living reselling maize to families in high density areas, as it made more money than teaching.

Before the announcement, shops in Zimbabwe were increasingly demanding payment in US dollars - a reality acknowledged by Mr Chinamasa.

"In the hyper-inflationary environment characterising the economy, our people are now using multiple currencies alongside the Zimbabwean dollar. These include the [South African] rand, US dollar, Botswana pula, euro and British pound among others."

A Harare resident said even street vendors were refusing to accept Zimbabwean notes.

Last year, the Central Bank was forced to slash 10 zeros from the local unit in an effort to make the currency more manageable.

Correspondents say that although the local currency will still be printed, all prices will be set in US dollars, making the Zimbabwe dollar irrelevant.

The country's economy is now on the brink of collapse - a situation worsened by the political crisis that resulted from last year's disputed presidential elections."

Look at Nigeria with all of its oil, look at Sierra Leone and Liberia with its diamonds, the people are still starving and there are civil wars, and genocide of Africans by Africans.

The situation is different in Zimbabwe.The violence is past and there is a stable government.There will be elections next year.
You think natural resources dont help?In Zim ordinary citizens get mining rights and people who were previously unemployed easily make $100k an annum and life is really cheap down there.I have worked with banks in the UK and did field trips to Zimbabwe and it's a fact.People who were subsistance farmers have gone commercial,I have people I know who were nobodies and they have contracts to supply UK shops with £11m worth of produce.

Dont get me wrong there were sectors which suffered like manufacturing,tourism and health but even England had same issues with their manufacturing.A lot of towns in England are very poor because of such changes.
I can not deny that governance is at the centre of prosperity but if you know Zimbabwe has very good structure.It had the most independent judiciary system and even corporate governance has always been excellent.If you check 2008 Zimbabwe stock exchange was the best performing stock exchange in the world.The bribery and looting you talk about is a Western African phenomenon not Southern African.Zimbabwe is on the path back.

Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe's president/dictator, has promised Zimbabwean-born Derek "Del Boy" Chisora a farm in the fertile region of Zimbabwe if he wins on Saturday night against Dr. Wladimir "Dr. Steelhammer" Klitschko. The farm, consisting of over 100 acres of land with water access rights to Limpopo river, was seized by Mugabe's regime from its original owner 10 years ago.


Apparetnly Mr. Mugabe is a big fan of boxing but thinks the "HW division weak all our big men would rather become guerilla-soldiers or pirates". He also expressed dismay at Nigeria's Samuel Peter efforts against the Klitschko brothers stating that "Peter not real African, Wladimir or Vitaly haven't fought slick African fighter yet".

Asked what he thinks of Chisora's legal troubles and behavior. He said "...biting and kissing man, hitting woman, no big trouble, I do that when I was younger...".

I wonder if he's gonna cover his medical bill after the fight.
