| 2014-02-24 |
[BUSINESSWEEK] Zim-bob-we's President Bob MuggsyMugabe Octogenarian President-for-Life of Zim-bob-we who turned the former Breadbasket of Africa into the African Basket Case... said incidences of corruption are restricted to just a few individuals as his government embarks on a crackdown on fraud in state-owned organizations. Managers at the Zim-bob-we Broadcasting Corp., the Zim-bob-we Mining Development Corp., the Premier Service Medical Aid Society and Air Zim-bob-we have this year been the target of reports on fraud and inflated salaries in the Harare-based Herald and Bulawayo-based Chronicle newspapers. "We want straight forward, honest people who respect government property, private property, property which does not belong to them," Mugabe told thousands of his supporters who attended his 90th birthday celebrations in Marondera, 70 kilometers (44 miles), east of the capital, Harare. "The very few we would have entrusted are the ones who are soiling everyone's name. They are the ones we are looking for." |

| #1 Mugabe has now had decades to move Zim toward the Swaziland, tribal governance model. The monarchy of Swaziland is blighted by 70% poverty, mass unemployment, lack of food security and the worldÂ’s highest levels of HIV and TB, Swazis are enduring drastic cuts to healthcare that have impacted disastrously on access to anti-retroviral treatment, HIV testing and nearly all forms of specialised health care. Average life expectancy is about 31 years, due to the combined effects of the HIV pandemic and burgeoning poverty and malnutrition. About 50% of the population of less than 1.5m is under 16 years of age, and an estimated 200,000 young people are classified as orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs), whose social welfare support has recently been cut by some R80-million (US$9,5-million). King Mswati III rules with a pen and a fone. |
