More than 90,000 households were destroyed and half a million
people displaced. Robert Mugabe used bulldozers to crush and remove some
of the poorest people in the land, and he did so in the dead of winter.

'A crushing victory' - Mugabe
President Robert Mugabe has claimed he is
heading for a crushing victory in Zimbabwe's one-man election judging
from unofficial partial tallies he has seen.
"I thank you for the manner in which you voted,
we won overwhelmingly,"
Mugabe told mourners at a funeral on Saturday of his wife's grandmother,
according to a clip shown on state television.
"You would not imagine that in Harare,
where we had been beaten in all but one constituency in the March
elections, this time around not even one went to the MDC,"
he said.
(The mind boggles!)
In the first round of voting, the opposition
swept 25 out of the 26 constituencies that make up the capital.
"Today (Saturday) I was looking at the
ballots... everywhere in Harare, not even one went to the MDC,"
he said at the funeral in Chikomba village, south of the capital.
"I don't know if they (electoral
officials) have finished (tallying), but that is what it was, not even
one (went to the opposition)," he told a
cheering crowd.
Another!
Mugabe sworn in after disputed Zimbabwean
election.
Mugabe said he won in all parts of the capital
city of Harare and many parts elsewhere. He
added that he did not know what prompted the people to vote in such
overwhelming numbers, unlike the March
elections when the divided outcome forced the presidential race into a
runoff.
Mugabe does not stand alone in leadership collapse.

Z$1.4-trillion a beer

Zimbabwe is in the grips of a devastating economic
crisis inflation, characterized by hyperinflation, officially put at
2.2-million percent but estimated by independent economists to exceed
15-million percent.
The value of the Zimbabwe dollar has hurtled from 1 US to 5300
Zimbabwean at the beginning of the year to Z$120-billion Zimbabwean for
a single greenback currently.
On Wednesday, bars were selling a single quart of beer for
Z$1.4-trillion (12 zeroes).
Businesses are increasingly refusing to deal in the increasingly
worthless local currency. The biggest available banknote, the
Z$100-billion note launched at the weekend, does not even buy a loaf of
bread.

Zim zeroes in

Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has warned business people that he will
impose a state of emergency if they profiteer.
Mugabe made the threat after the reserve bank governor announced he is
knocking 10 zeros off the hyper-inflated currency.
On 1 August, Z$10-billion becomes one dollar.
Mugabe warned profiteers in a televised address on Wednesday not to
"drive us further" but said if they did the government would impose
emergency measures.
The new currency was forced because computers, electronic calculators
and automated teller machines at banks cannot handle basic transactions
in billions and trillions of dollars. A
Z$100-billion note issued last
week is not enough to buy a loaf of bread.

HARARE,
Zimbabwe (CNN) -- Zimbabwe's central bank says it will soon
introduce a 100 trillion dollar note
as the once prosperous
country battles to keep pace with hyperinflation that has caused
many to abandon the country's currency.
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe said the
new notes that includes 50 trillion, 20 trillion and 10 trillion
would be released for the "convenience of the public," according to
statement released Thursday.
"In a move meant to ensure that the
public has access to their money from banks, the Reserve Bank of
Zimbabwe has introduced a new family of bank notes which will
gradually come into circulation, starting with the 10 trillion
Zimbabwe dollar," the bank said in its announcement.
The new 100 trillion dollar bill would
be worth about $300 in U.S. currency. A loaf of bread in Zimbabwe
now costs about 300 billion Zimbabwean dollars -- and like most
commodities, the price increases every day.
Earlier this month, Zimbabwe introduced
a 50 billion dollar bill as the country battles to fight cash
shortages stemming from the world's highest inflation rate. The
official rate was 231 million percent as of July.
The currency is in free fall, forcing
traders to peg their prices to international currency to hedge
against losses. The Zimbabwean dollar is facing extinction, with
most traders now accepting other countries' notes, claiming that
they import their products.
Two weeks Later...

HARARE, Zimbabwe (CNN) -- Zimbabwe slashed 12
zeroes from its currency as hyperinflation continued to erode its
value, the country's central bank announced Monday.
Patrick Chinamasa, Zimbabwe's acting finance minister, arrives last
week
at Parliament to present the '09 budget.
"Even in the face of current economic and political challenges
confronting the economy, the Zimbabwe dollar ought to and must
remain the nation's currency, so as to safeguard our national
identity and sovereignty. ... Our national currency is a fundamental
economic pillar of our sovereignty," said Gideon Gono, governor of
the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe.
"Accordingly, therefore, this monetary policy statement unveils yet
another necessary program of revaluing our local currency, through
the removal of 12 zeroes with immediate effect."
The move means that 1 trillion in Zimbabwe dollars now will be
equivalent to one Zimbabwe dollar.
The old notes -- with the highest being 100 trillion dollars -- not
enough to buy a loaf of bread -- will remain valid until June 30,
after which they will cease to be legal tender. One U.S. dollar is
trading above 300 trillion Zimbabwe dollars.
