Zimbabwe

President Robert Gabriel Mugabe [b. February 21, 1924] was the Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front [ZANU-PF] candidate in the presidential elections of March 29, 2008. Dr. Simbarashe Herbert Stanley, ka Simba, Makoni [b. March 22, 1950] was an independent candidate. And Morgan Richard Tsvangirai [b. March 10, 1952] was the Movement for Democratic Change [MDC] candidate. Results, which were released on May 2, 2008, showed presidential candidates Makoni and Tsvangirai with about 8% and about 47% of the vote, respectively; and President Mugabe with about 43%. If no candidate received 50% of the total vote, plus one vote, there needed to be a runoff. But Tsvangirai withdrew his participation in a second round, on June 22, 2008. On July 22, 2008, Mugabe and Tsvangirai met publicly, to begin work on a powersharing agreement, which was signed on September 15, 2008. As a result, on February 11, 2009, Mugabe was sworn in as President, Tsvangirai as Prime Minister, and Professor Arthur Guseni Oliver Mutambara [b. May 25, 1966] as Deputy Prime Minister.

As a result of president Mugabe's economic 'policy', there is a shortage of almost anything, including food since he expropriated all industrial farms, mostly run by white farmers which then almost all changed into wasteland. Therefore Zimbabwe changed from food exporter to food importer. Since Mugabe also managed to chase away practically all foreign business owners and investors, every luxury item or machinery item you can think of has to be imported, also all cars, trucks and tractors.
