What Would Have Been Better For Zimbabwe?

Question

the old economically and socially viable apartheid regime or the new economically disastrous regime under Robert Mugabe, you know, the guy that was honoured by St Andrews University.

Answer 1

So one discrimination is evil, but another is viable?

Your thinking is what led to this mess!

Answer 2

Mugabe..... out! This country will be like a Phoenix rising from the ashes as soon as this man is dealt with. The sooner the better for all.

Meantime there's absolutely no point in looking back at what might have been had the old regime continued. And that had a great any drawbacks as far as the black African was concerned.

It was the white man that brought ruination to this country in the first place and used the indigenous people for their own ends.

Answer 3

Why did the white farmers not get honoured by St Andrews University?.

The white farmers deserve recognition for having produced 30 times the food required and the Mugabe goons deserve condemnation for producing 1/30 th of the food required.

When are backward people going to learn that destroying privileged people does not help underprivileged people?

I predict that the white farmers will aways get hatred rather than recognition, so what's new?

Answer 4

Why cant it be neither, they are both disastrous for the people of Zimbabwe, Mugabe is killing the country stone dead, and everybody who could do something, ie the surrounding African governments are so embroiled in their own corruption they do nothing, western governments also do nothing, I wonder how long it would take western governments to act if a vast oil field was discovered in Zimbabwe, the only hope that country has is for the people to rise up and depose him, but then another greedy dictator would take over.

Answer 5

Would have been better if Ian Smith had let democracy go ahead and not tried to hang on to their racist principles for another 7 years. The white Rhodesians, as with the white Saffers, have only themselves to blame for their current mess. They tried to maintain an undemocratic white majority government in power for too long. Mugabe may be a total git, but there was a great opportunity for Rhodesians to allow black Africans to have a say in their own government. Ian Smith refused them that and they ended up with Mugabe. I, for one, will not mourn the "passing away" of Ian Smith, much as I disllike Mugabe.

Answer 6

It is everything that former prime minister Ian Smith predicted would happen under Robert Mugabe and his Marxist regime

Answer 7

Prince Charles shook his hand too, at a memorial service. Zimbabwe used to be such a fruitful country, now poverty and hunger prevail.
The old system must have been better for the people and by now should have become a more enlightened regime.
I don't understand how Mugabe has got away with it for so long.

Answer 8

I can only think of one person on this earth who should be locked up for life and that's Robert Mugabe. He has ruined a once prosperous country and ruled it by fear. He pockets all the profits and does not care a toss for his people both black and white

Answer 9

well, as far as I've been informed, Mugabe really is not doing much for the economy besides ruining it and being a hypocrite and slamming bush(who's also a hypocrite) for saying that the way he is running his country is tyranny, and the old Zimbabwe was just sickening, so i chose none of the above and a new president that knows something about repairing a country's internal and deep damages.

Answer 10

Intervention by America and it allies. Sadly though, Zimbabwe has no gold or oil to make America richer. The only resources that Zimbabwe has now, is its people. They cannot help America line its pockets.
