The Central Bank on Friday announced it would introduce a new Z$500 million dollar note made of '100 percent cotton,' as the country battles world record inflation.
[ See Article ]
The introduction of the $5oo million cotton based bill should be a big relief to all the sanitary ware starved women of Zimbabwe as they can now have sanitary pads for a change. If only Gono should print more of them.
Imagine all the uses these new notes could provide. A bit of stitching and you have cheap dish towels, sheets, even clothing :-)
Remember, with the 10 zeros removed in August, this is the equivalent of a 5,000,000,000,000,000,000 note under the old currency. Whats the point? Give it 2 months they'll take all the zeros off again anyways.
hey west...not only can it be used that way but it can then be washed, dried and re-used....so someone is finally coming to their senses!!!!
Gono the innovator of a failing economy, hapana zvamurikuita vakomana! dai makomborera nyika mazvisiya. Gono you lose nothing by resigning, staying on will help make yourself the worst enemy of Zimbabweans.
The voices of the ratpack: silly, moribund, obscurantist, boneheaded, wrongheaded, CLAPTRAP.
The REACTION'S VANGUARD ON THIS SITE IS A SORRY PHENOMENON TO BEHOLD: Ecce the last 'men' of Zimbabwe!
Boneheads unlimited.
Jallohow - you behave like Mugabe's pet. Are cat or a greyhound?
Do you expect me to answer a loaded question?
Dude, take a course in INFORMAL LOGIC!
Thereafter, assuming you are smart, you'll REFRAIN from asking loaded questions.
Good luck on your studies!
What studies are you talking about? I asked you if you were Mugabe's pet. You just parrot words, you clearly lack facts. You are being paid for posting crap. Are being paid in Zillions or USD?
Don't worry about Jallohlaw, he's pretending to be smart but, as you can see from the drivel he types, he has nothing of substance to say.
Shallow-head is exactly that. A shallow head.
Encore, the defeated cris de couer of the tails of the tails of the REACTION.
Glory to the Fire: Cdr. MUGABE.
Shallow-head you are off topic again. Come see me!
People, it is very clear that Indie and mindpower have got and never have had anything positive to say about Zimbabwe. These two racist swines carry on like stuck records.
Ah Kuba, you're up to your old tricks again. Do you think anyone believes your fabrications? As I've done many, many times before, I hereby challenge you to provide proof of any racist comment I have made. Of course, as always, you will not do so since your claim is a blatant lie.
I, however, can find many of your racist comments. For example you state that no white person can call themselves Zimbabwean or should be allowed to own land. You say all whites, even those children of whites who were themselves born after Zim independence, are all "Rhodesians".
You have been exposed as a racist and a liar so many times Kubatana6 that I'm amazed that you still write on this board. Clearly morals and a sense of self-pride are not some of your attributes.
Mindy, who are you trying to fool - your lot are rhodies , It's as simple as that! That' white Zimbabwean' bull**** is just a smoke screen. I found that even today when given the chance your true colours come shining through. You are trying everything in your power to change the Government because you lost 'your land'. Poor thing! It was not your land to start off with so just give up. There are many ways that you are showing us that your way of thinking is racially motivated - TOO MANY TOO MENTION! 230 million % inflation, 85 % unemployed - tell me, which nation can handle that! Zimbabweans are very strong people man - not like you weak rhodies that keep crying fowl!
Well, I said you wouldn't provide any proof of me being racist and, surprise, surprise, you didn't. I've stated many times on this forum that I have no interest in owning land in Zimbabwe. As usual you are trying to divert attention away from yourself by pretending that others are guilty of your own sins. Unfortunately for you we can see right through your lies.
KUBETANA... if "There are many ways that you are showing us that your way of thinking is racially motivated - TOO MANY TOO MENTION! "
Then it should be pretty easy for you to give us 3. Lets hear them. Or, as I suspect, are you writing bollocks again?
And here i was thinking they are saying everything positive about Zimbabwe and only negative things about retarded and senile mugabe and regime!
That is because you wear the same hat as they do: why, your horizon is THE SAME TOTO CAELO, AND your vision is the return of "Rhodesia."
I uncovered your subterfuge: today we EXPOSED our program and, as I have been drumming from jump street, you are the tails of the REACTION.
But, behold: the REACTION wants the land.
You want the land, admit it. It is your sole brief, the only issue on the table for YOU AND FOR US.
YOU AIN'T GETTING IT BACK: GONE, GONE, GONE FOREVER---THE LAND.
It belongs to the Africans from whom Rhodes and THE REACTION STOLE IT.
And the Africans, the true blood Zims, are not giving it back, under Cdr. Mugabe or anyone else.
Do you get it, the troika and the dude from DixieTexas?
The land SHALL not REVERT.
YOU ARE EXPOSED! YOU ARE RHODESIANS, CODE FOR THE REACTION IN THIS SITE.
NOW THE REAL WAR OF WORDS OFFS.
"NOW THE REAL WAR OF WORDS OFFS."
LOL. You're fighting against the English Language aren't you Jallohlaw? Clearly you're doing your damnedest to butcher it.
It's quite tragic really, I mean it's the 21st century now and even the Ancient Egyptians managed to make paper.....
We are not interested in paper at the moment man. All we want right now is our land and for you to stop the illegal sanctions. You guys carry on like a spoilt brat - nit picking every small thing. Zimbabwe will bounce back without them rhodies and that's what you fear most.
Same old nonsense from Kuba. The land was reappropriated years ago so why hasn't Zimbabwe "bounced back"?
No point in having land if you dont know how to use it productively and total waste its value to the whole community! Its like having a new car and not knowing how to drive one and it just sits there doing nothing!
It is not land reform that dumb mugabe and regime have done but land and agricultural destruction!
How is New Zealand at the moment Kubatana? Are you all ready for the festive season? Must be nice to be able to go out and spend currency that someone will accept.
I'm sure it's very empowering for you to be able to rally support for the gormless bunch of criminals in Zimbabwe from your place of safety.
As we've argued before; you assert the existance of illegal sanctions, yet you never provide any evidence or location or even a citation where I can learn of these illegal sanctions. If by illegal sanctions you mean no one will lend Zimbabwe money because they cannot pay it back then I would call that sound commercial practice. Just because Robber McGarbage has no new money for his piggy bank doesnt make it illegal.
If you consider the complete lack of currency and inflation in the quintillions of percent, "nit picking every small thing" I'd be interested to see what you consider to be a big thing.
You have the land don't you? You just have no idea what to do with it. The last time I checked Zimbabwe was importing food from Botswana and Mozambique grown by the very farmers who used to grow food in Zimbabwe and I think those farmers are doing very well. I think thats a little ironic. So I fail to see how your statement about bouncing back without, "rhodies" actually holds any weight because Zimbabwe would be even more hungry than it is now without the, "rhodies" who are still feeding it. Why would I fear something which cant happen?
Anyway I'm happy you're happy with the land you have even though nothing grows in it, it must be a wonderful feeling looking out across all of that sterile, unproductive, unplanted, unirrigated land, while the sound of the populations rumbling empty stomachs rings in your ears. It must feel very empowering.
you got your country...made a mess of it...took the farms....made a mess of them....and still you blame the "evil rhodies"? Poor bugger....did I not tell you some months ago that your gabby gabby was a murderous little common thug and nothing would come of the laughingly called unity crap mediated by that other lightweight pompous little twit mbekie??? Look at the situation now...no water, electricity(unless you live at statehouse of course), no money and as they say..no funny!!!! you guys couldn't run a bath if someone held a gun to your heads!!!! admit it and let those with the acumen come in and mop up the mess you have made and thank them profusely for the assistance instead of stupid name calling because you have proved to be total abject failures at just about everything you do...the only thing you succeed at is total failure! hardly something to be proud about now is it!!!!
So turnex, why do YOU have so much interest in Zimbabwe? You say we have our farms and weve messed the place up so why dont you just forget Zimbabwe and move on YOU HOPELESS LOSER!
its so simple kuba I imagined even someone of such limited intellect as yourself would have figured it out without me having to spell it out for you, after all that is why you are far away in the white man's country in NZ and not in your beloved zimbabwe...but for the benefit of bozos like yourself here goes ; WE MADE RHODESIA GREAT....THEY MADE ZIMBABWE RUINS!
Atleast being cotton it can be used as toilet paper in the next few weeks when it is made redundant.
