Unbelievable
Shrine To Mugabe To Rise In Zimbabwe 'Sea Of Poverty'By Stephen Bevan and Michael Gwaridzo
London Sunday Telegraph
The country's economy is crumbling and its people are struggling to survive in the face of nearly 4,000 percent inflation, food and fuel shortages and the prospect of power cuts for up to 20 hours a day.

The country's economy is crumbling and its people are struggling to survive in the face of nearly 4,000 percent inflation, food and fuel shortages and the prospect of power cuts for up to 20 hours a day.
