White Zimbabweans found themselves a step closer to losing control of their businesses to black people yesterday as a result of new government legislation.

The ruling Zanu-PF party in parliament approved the indigenisation and economic empowerment bill on Wednesday night. The proposed law calls for white owners to hand over 51% of their business interests to black people. Opposition MPs walked out of the sitting, saying the bill was racist and unconstitutional.

Mugabe is definitely nuts, but his racial hatred is somewhat understandable. Zimbabwe used to be called Rhodesia, Cecil Rhodes a true imperialist exploiter...look HIM up, the poor folks of Zimbabwe just can't catch a break!

Robert Mugabe has gone totally off his head.

With 4000% inflation, he will starve his country to death just to promote his racial hatred.
