  • The first Zimbabwean dollar notes in ten years were released to the public in November 2019. Zimbabwe's government brought back the currency in June this year,after scrapping it in 2009, when levels of inflation became unsustainable. But how did we get to this point? Joice Etutu reports.

    This video is a terrible and misleading explanation.
    It wasn't sanctions from foreign countries that led to the crippling economy, it was Mugabe's own terrible dictator policies and fiscal stupidity.
    And it wasn't just a "controversial" land reform, they took white farmers' and families' farms away (people who have been living there for generations) using often violent and murderous force. This led to a massive drop in agriculutral output. People couldnt even find bread to buy.

      Mufaromuzik Yes, but Zimbabwe WAS the breadbasket of Africa and a net exporter of agricultural products-but, almost immediately after the land reforms (she mentioned at the start), the country had to start being an IMPORTER of foodstuffs (truly sad). My mom’s family came from the former Rhodesia and even I feel that the “Old Rhodesia” WAS/IS wrong, but, sadly, the current Zimbabwe is MORE WRONG, since at least nobody starved and the hospitals were all fully functioning.

    Zimbabwe just like South Africa and Kenya is an epitome of the legacies of white minority rule and corruption of successive governments. It calls for all stakeholders to genuinely agree forward because leaving such a problem to politicians who are more likely to be bribes by the minority elite to not purse genuine land reform will exercebate ongoing tensions. So it is up to the citizens to decide since no one else will intervene on their behalf.

      There's no whites anymore in Zimbabwe, they were either killed or fled. Take your responsibilities and stop blaming scapegoats. The US gave $500 mlns in foreign aid, and $388 mlns in grants, and only imposed sanctions on selected individuals. Plus the blacks caused all this destroying the only productive part of society (white farmers) and the only Infrastructure Zimbabwe has is that from Smith's government 💀

Imagine the current president's son lives a millionaires life in the USA flaunting money on social media whilst his father continues to exploit the country and its resources. Africans across the continent need to change their ways and show some love and compassion for each other and unite to rebuild this boken continent of Africa.
