PM News Nigeria ^ | 8-24-16 | PMNews

Zimbabwean President, Robert Mugabe instructed the Commissioner General of Zimbabwe Police Republic, Augustine Chihuri to arrest and detain the whole Zimbabwean Olympic Team members immediately they arrived the Harare International Airport on Tuesday, August 23. Zimbabwe which is one of the countries in the Olympics without a medal presented a team of 31 athletes. The closest any of the athletes came to win a contest was at the 8th position. Mr. Mugabe who is incensed with the team’s performance told the Police Chief to arrest all the team members and detain them. “We have wasted the country’s money on these rats we call athletes.

What’s that worth? About fifty cents US?

You could live the rest of your life on that amount, if you were one of Mug's Olympians being welcomed off the plane.

“...win even copper or brass medals (referring the 4th and 5th positions)”

Back when Rhodesia was feeding the entire continent of Africa. When will a truth teller call what has happened under the black leadership of MUGabe what it is; a race based catastrophe.

A “good” job in this nation, if you can find one might pay you $15 a day

Those demanding $15/hr here should be shipped over there.

It's worth more as a collectible on eBay than as actual currency.

Zim $$ on eBay
