“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.” -Frederic Bastiat.
As long as Zimbabwe remains under a Plunder President, it will remain under a Plunder Government, and its courts ruled by Plunder Judges. The futility of investing in a plunder-nation, is that nothing will grow there, even its very trees will whither before they produce any fruit.
Zimbabwe is perhaps the only country in the world whose president sends soldiers to shoot dead civilians and this done also in broad daylight, scare off investors, and then quickly blows millions of dollars on jet fuel to fly out to bring those investors back while screaming into their ears: ” Zimbabwe is open for business Zimbabwe is open for business!” This has been the trend since the 1st of August 2018, when Emmerson Mnangagwa and his deputy Constantino Chiwenga killed the first 6 civilians in the capital city, Harare shortly before claiming to ZimEye that the bullets were mere teargas residue.

Zimbabwe is perhaps the only country in the world whose President announces to foreign investors that he is the Supreme court “judge who will rule and rule and rule, while everyone else barks and barks like a bunch of dogs.” He regularly repeats this all literally in the Shona language, and furthermore says for a person to prosper in business, they must first join his political cult.
He even has a special song that he sings at all his meetings political and government level where he declares himself the crocodile who rules and has now arrived to change the laws.
On Friday afternoon, while delivering his verdict against MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa Friday afternoon, Chief Justice Luke Malaba said: “we believe in facts, not figures.”
He then ruled that Chamisa does not have evidence to support his case against Emmerson Mnangagwa.
This verdict irked Zimbabweans with the exiled Prof Jonathan Moyo exclaiming that it is “breathtakingly scandalous. What are facts without figures? In elections figures represent voters & their votes!”
Also speaking afterwards, Chamisa’s lawyer, Thabani Mpofu said had a chunk of evidence ignored by the judges. Watch his briefer below:
Does Zimbabwe have "Plunder-Judges" and is Mnangagwa A "Plunder-President"?
