Some of the best Mugabe cartoons I've seen in a long time :) :) Sad, but very, very funny! Some of the drawings are really good

Zimbabwe inflation hits 165,000%, so how much will something cost in a week, month, year?

CapeTalk and BBC reported this am that Zimbabwe's inflation has hit 165,000%, and I was wondering what this would mean if I was suddenly put into a financial environment suffering with that kind of burden! Taking a loaf of bread as an example, say it cost R7.00 then what would it cost next year, next month, next week, next quarter, tomorrow? {Assuming a linear inflation rate increase!}

I have created an inflation calculator to see the figures on paper! And yes, it's very, very, very scary!

Now	Tomorrow	Next week	Next month	Next quarter	Next year
7	39	221	970	3,857	11,557

I don't think the new ZW$10 million will help nor last long! {see BBC for a photo of a handful of ZW$s}

How to use technology to say your thing to Robert Mugabe

I naively searched for a site that gave live election results from Zimbabwe's 2008 elections and of course came up empty handed.
I bumped into results from the last elections, then looked at some major news networks' web sites - but after a long while decided that this search was not going to bear fruits.
At the time of writing the results are slow in coming, but the MDC have won Bulawayo and Harare and the other results are neck and neck (MDC, Zanu PF).

Then I decided to use my blog to allow people to send their wishes to Robert Mugabe.

So, please feel free to add comments to:
*) lay your feelings out for Mr. Mugabe
*) update the election results
*) good wishes
*) bad wishes

Hopefully, the Zanu PF's "cock" is about to crow for the last time, and that the clever old man doesn't manage to cook another result!

I read somewhere that the mood in Zim was one of "change" pending - let's hope that is correct! Hopefully, one day we can all support the Zim people and spend some of our foreign currency on a holiday at Lake Kariba or Vic Falls or .....!
