Subject: TO INVEST OR NOT?
Wed, 24 Jun 2009 22:33:47 • I am highly amused.
These comments are hilarious.
Everyone shouting their mouths off - 6,000 miles away in Britain thinking they will make a big difference?
One does not have power if one is not on the inside of the three ringed circus - so what are you all protesting about?
No one is going to listen to you ova here.
If you are anti-investors why dont you go home and put your backs to the wheel? Whatever business you are in, its easier to survive by attracting investors at the best possible deal.
Everything will go according to plan as planned by those at home on the ground. Not by the rest of you jumping up and down on the sidelines while happily paying 54% of your hard earnerd money going in tax into the deep pockets of Gordn Brown and his cronies.

We do not want a situation like the one that exists down SA where the cake is worked for by Blacks and enjoyed by Boers. If the PM does not want to venture into mining, then he should not think that all of us are of the same feeling.

Subject: Zimbabwe reviewing indigenisation law: PM Tsvangirai
Tue, 23 Jun 2009 22:01:57 • I think our PM must not worry too much about giving his audience a view that he is his own boss. I hope he consulted wide enough to a point of confidently say .....51% is far, far too high. How can our PM be nervous of even a 50-50 ownership of our God given natural resources? Simplifying indigenisation as......someone bringing money into the country and we say we will take 51% of that... is a mischievious misrepresentation especially by the high and good office of the head of government. Has anyone told the PM that this ownership can be achieved through selling of shares? It's ok for our PM to worry about what's comfortable for investors, as long as he also find time to worry about what's comfortable for the citizens of the mineral-rich nation. Otherwise this may be read as a subtle campaign to the international community that if it was an MDC government we would review the indigenisation law to suit the investors

No dominant group ever transforms society through subservience and alien values... now that Africans are dominant we must Africanise and not apologise for our Africanness... When we say “Mayibuye iAfrika” we mean it and mean business.'' – Malegapuru Makgoba (2005), Vice-Chancellor of the University of KwaZulu Natal
''Let them remember that indigenization does not, and shall never, mean empowering crooks who cut business corners and thrive on dirty deals. Certainly, it does not mean putting your shameless indigenous finger into the national till.'' – Robert Mugabe (2004), President of Zimbabwe.

For this reason, many wonder that with such a radical approach to bring about Africanization of Zim natural resources, why didn't Zim engage the Chinese in multiple cultural exchanges of mutual benefit, e.g., instruction in farming techniques, etc., that would have kept Zim from falling back on the assistance of those who would not view Africanization favorably.
After 10 years of suffering, are all roads leading back to England?

So under Tsvangirai, Zimbabweans will be allowed not empowered to participate in the economy. This is a disgrace.We own the resources, don't we?

We've seen this before in Zambia, where the economy missed out on a historic record prices of copper, the country's main export. This was because ministers would rather take kickbacks from the mines than to see their country profit. It is the lack of nationalism and national pride that makes this kind of mentality possible. Beware of the MDC, and keep close tabs on their attempts to sell out the country's assets.
