#1 One Harare resident told the BBC that a single banana now cost more than she had paid for her four-bedroom house in 2000.

I suspect we may have just stumbled onto a new and improved definition of "denial" ....buying a four-bedroom house in Harare in 2000?

#3 And what is really sad about all of this is that South Africa could have deposed Mugabe at any time prior to this complete meltdown. But then, the ANC comrades are just waiting their turn to gut SA and run away with the loot, so professional courtesy requires that they let Bob steal everything he can.

#4 This is the penultimate state of collapse; having looted all the productive industries and farms Mugabe's thugs are now stealing all the goods in stores. The last step will be the looting of all private property after which no one will have anything in Zimbabwe. You won't even hear the sounds of crickets chirping because the crickets will have been eaten.

#6 Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

There is where that thinking always ends up.
