If you walk around in the capital of Zimbabwe: Harare, the only object that will grasp your eye is a chalky looking and marvellously designed building; and inside, it is full of glossy, glittery and well polished tiles that could leave you sightless. This gleaming chalky building – and by a long chalk is among the most attractively buildings – is Zimbabwe’s headquarter. This is where President Robert Mugabe’s day-to-day business is handled. This is where all the actions have been taking place since he took power in 1980. There isn’t a shred of doubt that Mugabe made Zimbabwe a mess. This was a country where 15m Zimbabweans would’ve bought you a mansion, now, however, only a can of Pepsi. Zimbabwe’s GNP (gross national product) is currently been halted but used to come from three areas: commercial agricultural, tourisms and minding. So where did it go wrong for Zimbabwe? Well Mr Mugabe yesteryear drew up policies which offer blacks redress for discrimination suffered during colonial days. Therefore Mugabe outsourced all the agricultural lands from white farmers and handed them over to Zimbabweans without financial backing and training; and of course, one can’t maintain running a farm without the basic knowledge and skills. What about tourisms business? Well, if there was any opposition challenging him, he would flex his power to keep them quite, i.e. he would give them a good beating. And as a result, his Nazism style of governing frightened sightseeing. Lastly, why did the minding trade stopped? Because Mugabe takes 50% of the minding shares, thus investors stayed away. Now Zimbabwe’s inflation is the highest the world had ever seen: 100,000%. This is as the result of Mugabe’s government printing press machines; he funds his government by printing his own money, and unless these machines are switched off then the inflation will continue to rise. So if Mr Mugabe decides to step down, then who is going to pick up the bill? I am afraid, first and foremost, is the African states, they will have to increase their GNP by 10% and maintain it for a decade at least if not more. Next, it will have to be Britain, USA, EU and UN who has to donate some vast amount money to this battered and exhausted country. None of the less, it will require more than a power takeover to dig Zimbabwe out of the hell hall. Who ever steps in to power will have fights in their hands, and, initially, they will have to halt this enormous army – that body guarded Mugabe – and sack few civil servants and then...
