#3 Er, um, mistah, so who exactly is going to produce a bumper crop of tobacco, and dig for chrome and rubies when the whole place is becoming a desert, with a work-force more than decimated by AIDS. Big change coming down there at some stage, let's hope. The deal's probs connected to ANC, Mbeki goof-balls and their recent great showings at majority votings.
I'm off to try googling "ANC+Sentry Financial Int".

#4 Has Bob only targetted the maise farms for redistribution and left other crops and industries untouched?

#5 What drivel! Zimbabwe is selling stuff to buy food, and suddenly its a conspiracy involving an evil American corporation. And the Left wonders why people don't take them seriously. Even Mike Moron could do better than this.
