Black Zimbabweans to take control of white-owned companies surely it would be equally accurate to say that "People whose only skill is to have connections in government to take control of business built by people who know how to run them"
The past has been used to justify many things, no doubt the guardian readers of the world will see this current act of stupidity as just desserts for the crimes of past generations of white colonialism, but the reality is that this will temporarily enrich a few corrupt politicians and rapidly destroy what little is left of the economy. It happened in Uganda when Idi Amin did it. This appropriation already happened with the farms and a country that used to feed it's neighbours teeters on the brink of starvation. Who is going to invest in Zimbabwe now?
Another man-made African catastrophe.
