The good, the bad and the ugly
ByI can’t believe what I am watching unfold in Zimbabwe currently. Mugabe is obviously mentally unstable with is nonsense comments about Cholera being dealt with, while the epidemic spreads. Prior to that he blamed Britain for causing the outbreak.
Meanwhile the nation continues to die, spiritually, economically and literally.
For some reason I feel both angry and helpless. How can the world stand by and let this happen when so many innocent people are being harmed.
In the West we have monetary issues which affect us but at the end of the day their impact is minimal compared with the life and death issues faced daily in Zim.
I heard this week they just starting printing 100 billion dollar notes to keep up with the 100% per day inflation.
So as we enjoy Christmas, with whatever issues we may face, spare a thought/prayer/action for a part of the world that is in real trouble.

I was a Zimbabwe farmer who lost everything five years ago and was forced to leave my 500 employees and their families destitute. It is always the poor who suffer most as these African dictators hang onto political power and the world watches. The depreciating currency is only one of their problems as they starve to death, get killed by secret police or die of cholera. At Independence, the Z$ was worth two US$. Now, after already having thirteen zero’s knocked off, they have to use new one hundred billion dollar notes to buy a loaf of bread, that’s if they can find one.
One thing you did get wrong there Dean, is that they are not broken spiritually. In fact, in most cases faith is all they have left as they plead for God’s intervention and mercy.
