This is nothing new. Last year, their solution to hyper inflation was to just lop 6 zeroes off the end. So a 1 million dollar zimbabwe note was then a $1 note. That was useful for about a month before they went straight back to the same place. This is what Mugabe's land reform policy has done to Zimbabwe.

It certainly makes you look at post-apartheid South Africa in a different light. Sure, there are a lot of problems. Big problems. But look at how bad it could have been. Absolutely incredible situation at the moment.

And it's sad, but I have no desire to go back to the country in which I was born. None whatsover. That place is a fucking shithole.
