Hi - tragically, it's absolutely true that Mugabe is most definitely alive! I've just been watching a BBC TV News report on the appalling leve of unemployment in Zimbabwe - 80%!!!!
The journalist and presenter, Stephen Sacar ( hope that's spelt correctly..) pondered on a likely successor, having claimed; '' After all, Mugabe cannot rule forever...!'' The person named by Sacar is one of the President's most feared henchmen - nicknamed 'The Crocodile'. so there's no likelihood of positive radical change in any future Government's policy in favour of those now sunk in misery and poverty.
Independence has certainly brought neither guaranteed Human Rights nor the much - vaunted financial security to Zimbabweans, so far.
I loathe the concept and practice of 'Colonialism', especially as experienced under 'Apartheid' regimes! I do wonder, though, how qmany of those Zimbabweans now suffering, most acutely, the living conditions and fear imposed upon them by their own President, regret ever having given him their mandate and trust - in the fervent belief that he would lead their country into a democratic, financially stable new beginning, in which its vast resources, including land recovered from white farmers, would be dispersed and shared, for the benefit of all.....!
Saludos,

...and of course Samuel Langhorne Clemens':
...appalling leve of unemployment in Zimbabwe - 80%!!!!
I read somewhere that true unemployment figures for Spain are being covered-up and actually the situation is worse than it is in Zimbabwe, i.e. > 80%.
It was probably on this site that I read it

Sorry, I don't find that amusing, especially coming from a foreigner.
34% of people in my area are unemployed, over 60% of them young.
Perhaps you should tell them that they should move to Zimbabwe then...taking the LandRovers and Jaguars they have bought with them...
Can you not understand the simple facts that if thirty or fifty or a hundred immigrants get a job in Spain or those with the money buy a LandRover, Jaguar or Rolls Royce that does nothing to alleviate the plight of the over six million without work, many of whom have no source of income whatsoever?? And that, nice as it may be to be pleased that a few guiris find well-paid work, one in three Spaniards here is seeking work...in vain?
Do you know any unemployed people and their families here??
