Mugabe's supporters make money :: Mmegi Online

Are people aware that Mugabe's ardent supporters in this country i.e. Zimbabwe diplomats (most of whom are really agents of Mugabe's murderous Central Intelligence Organisation) are paid around US7000-US 12000 i.e. P42 000 - P72 000 per month basically for doing nothing but spy on imaginary enemies?

Not even the highest paid civil servant in Botswana (which has a well-functioning economy) makes that money. They (Mugabe's diplomats) live very opulent lifestyles. Just ask one of them to be posted back to Zimbabwe and they will get into a frenzy.

Is it not time that we take a closer look at those cash barons and wealthy looters from Zimbabwe (beneficiaries of Mugabe's political patronage system) who drive very expensive cars and come to purchase groceries and other goodies here? They fiercely do not want to see any change in Zimbabwe. While they are not under targeted sanctions they are part of the problem. Some I believe are used by Mugabe's inner circle to evade targeted sanctions. Can they not be told to go back at borders and buy the goodies in Mugabe's people's shops in Zimbabwe?
