Zimbabwe pensioners struggle with inflation 15 Apr 2008

Al Jazeera's Haru Mutasa reports about the forgotten victims of the Zimbabwean economic crisis. They are penniless, but the irony is that some of them had good jobs. The money they diligently put away for retirement is gone, eaten away by the country's soaring inflation levels.

@Yuber 779 you do know,i assume,that a dollar is a dept certificate. they dont buy US dept they accept it as a currency. the so called dept has been paid in full. Americans are trading paper for goods, have you never wondered why the chinese choose not to spend the dollar? they have no heat in their schools or public medical services except forced abortion. did it ever occur to you that the chinese are SLAVES. You do know of president Nixons trip to china that strted the first dollar in trade.

Ahh, it's good they got rid of Rhodesia and ushered in a Utopian black rule against the evil Whites. Zimbabwe is a paradise now that blacks run it.

A penny a month!? What the fuck is that shit!?

[ZAforSouthaficans]

why aren't these people screaming for Rhodesia, what was so terrible having food, heath care or someone caring in general? they claim that it was an apartheid country "Rhodesia" but how much of that is zanu-pf propaganda? it's just like the book animal farm, the pigs claimed that what was was worse. but from a third party Rhodesia was better.

[MrRedFredSaid]

how very very sad and unfair.

[PersonOfBook]

fuck the fiat money and those who invented it, bring back the gold and silver currency!

With the risk of sounding ratial I just would like to say, thanks goodness they have stopped blaming the whites and have started blaming the government. I miss my home Zimbabwe so very much, I hate the UK, I am an African born and bred, I miss my people black and white and just wish I could go home, but due to political reasons I am a refugee here in the UK. The western world cant fix, you guys have to rise up for yourselves sorry to say. Hold fast my friends, time will come.
