Days after Zimbabwe's soldiers caused havoc in Harare last week over not being able to access their money from the city's banks, the government on Friday forked out millions of dollars to pacify its armed forces - partly causing a spectacular crash of the local currency over the weekend.

Soliers should demand payment in foreign currency not zillions.
Soldiers USD and C10 should be paid in kind or at best printed zillions for they are non-performers. They are not contibuting anything worthy.
Ok, so Mugabe(murderer, lunatic, tyrant) bribes his police and military with Zim$100,000,000.....umm, Mr. Mugabe, maybe you don't understand..but 100M in Zim$ is now worth less than 10 USD...I doubt that amount will keep anyone happy for long. When their $10 runs out, I hope they come looking for you.
One question i would like the answer for is, does mugabe have children?
President Mugabe does have a beautiful young wife and children. They have all their needs met; abundant food, clean water, all the finer things in life. If they were experiencing what much of the country is, then things would change quickly.
What is the material relevance of this badly crafted question?
Once again you have nothing to contribute, except to ask the relevance of a question. So you agree with DL's inspired comment I take it?
GRAMMAR LESSON:
You write: "Once again you have nothing to contribute, except to ask the relevance of a question. So you agree with DL's inspired comment I take it."
CORRECT ENGLISH USAGE: "Once again, you have nothing to contribute, except to ask FOR the relevance of a question. So, you agree with DL's inspired comment, I take it."
I reiterate: I don't give a rat's tail about your opinions. As I promised, I SHALL MONITOR ANY AND ALL OF YOUR POSTINGS for syntactical, semantical, and idiomatic mistakes.
Thus, it is, and shall be, period and out.
Now, let us rumble!
Yes more drivel, nothing of sustance, just like the Mugabe regime, words and threats. Hot air, nothing more. Quite pathetic!
Well continue to waste your time. I dont care that my writings arent 100% correct. As long as people understand what I say, thats the main thing. As I've already mentioned, this isnt a literary competition. So enjoy your wasted time. We all know its only because you have no substance and nothing to contribute on an intellectual basis.
Don't you just love how his "correction" is to insert one word into your sentence? To top it off his "correction" is wrong. LOL!
Jallohlaw, it's time for your grammar lesson. You can't ask FOR the relevance of something; you ask ABOUT the relevance of something. Nobody can give you relevance but they can give you an explanation.
Pretentious fool :-D
jallohlaw, who are you to correct anyone when you have appalling grammar and write nothing but pretentious drivel?
As you're so keen on lessons, let me provide you with one - a presupposition from Neuro-Linguistic Programming:
"The meaning of your communication is the response you get"
I suggest you mull that over.
You may be critical of others spelling and grammar (no doubt to bolster your fragile ego) but there is no denying that those who you belittle communicate between themselves far better than you could hope to do.
The reason i ask was to find out if mugabe is as stupid as i think he is. Yes he is as stupid as i thought, he will only live so many more years because he is so old. When he dies they will have to change there names and flee the country and hide for the rest of there life because of mugabe. It real shows not only does mugabe not care about his own people but he does not care about his own family. I would hate to be his family when he dies, they will have all the stolen money to live well but they will never be able to see there homeland again and will always live in fear of someone coming to get them as pay back, must be hard thing to live with know this will happen in the near future.
As I stated in an earlier post, it's like this; pretend that Zimbabwe is a company, and that company's assets consist of all the goods and services produced in one year. To keep it easy, let's say that each share in that company is equal to $1Z, and that $1Z is also equal to $1US. Let's say there are a million shares in the company. That's $1,000,000Z or $1,000,000US. Everyone's happy because they know what their shares in the company are worth.
But then, say Mugabe decides that he needs more money to pay for some "extracurricular," activities that are not covered by the budget. So he says to the RBZ chief Gono, "I need more money, print some." So Gono does what he is told, and prints another $1,000,000Z and gives it to Mugabe. But what just happened to the value of the shares in the Zimbabwe company? Now $2,000,000Z is equal to $1,000,000US, so each share is only worth half it's value. Mugabe got the other half.
Then he does it again, this time printing $2,000,000Z. So now $4,000,000Z is equal to $1,000,000US. Now Mugabe has 75% of the shares or $3,000,000Z and the rest of the shareholders still only have $1,000,000Z.
Over time, as he continues to do this, the shares get smaller and smaller until people start raising their prices to compensate for their loss in value.
That's when Gono starts accusing people of being selfish, and so he prints more money!
