Reply #88: Most of them don't have anywhere to go [View All]

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

Although Mugabe does have a "special relationship" with the old guard that the DU Robert Mugabe Fan Club really doesn't like talking about, the average Rhodesian is basically fucked, changes to British citizenship laws in the 1980's slammed that door shut for those many generations removed, even those who do have a claim on British citizenship have had their personal wealth destroyed and can't afford to leave.

The displaced Rhodesians are basically collectively drinking and qualuding themselves to death.

They could go be poor in South Africa, where despite everything most places in Zimbabwe are still safer from a crime perspective.

The most ironic thing about Zimbabwe is come his death Ian Smith had reemerged as a popular figure in the country, which he himself thought was bizarre.
