#1 They could always just give them their land back. God knows what shape it is in though.

#2 No matter what shape it's in the farmers seem to be the only ones that know what the hell do with it. Funny how that works. Might just save the country if they go back to the system that was working before Mugabe got his grubby little hands on it.

#4 *shrug* With what will Mr. Mugabe pay the ordered compensation? The farmers won't go back so long as he's in power, if they're wise, and it's not as if the currency has any value.

#5 If they're wise, TW, they won't go back at all.

#11 Keepin' with the theme:

So it now seems that Zim is rethinkin' its policy and wants these guys back,
kinda like the remorseful Farm equipment saleman that regretted ditching his girlfriend after he sent her that 'John Deere' letter.....??

#12 Toilet paper has more value (and utility) than Zimbabwe currency, at least until Mugabe decides to use more absorbent paper. Current inflation rate= 7,5000%
