#2 The farm seizures, touted as a way of reversing colonial-era imbalances in land ownership, have been accompanied by a clampdown on the opposition, the free press and rights groups.

That is, if they're growing anything other than weeds.

#8 I blame it on the paved roads we didn't do, and the boreholes and dams we didnt do either. They would really have had something to fuck up then.

Envelope one reads - blame everything on your predecessor.

Envelope two reads - reorganize.

Envelope three reads - prepare three envelopes.

Bob's opened envelope number two.
