Mugabe targets landlords

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Harare – Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe on Monday warned landlords in the country not to raise rent as he vowed to keep in place his government’s strict control over prices.

In a speech to honour fighters who died in the country’s 1970s war of independence from white minority rule, Mugabe warned that rentals were now being controlled by his government.

“Landlords take care: the moratorium on rent increases remains in force,” he said to cheers from a crowd of several thousand at Heroes’ Acre, a national shrine on the outskirts of the capital.

More than 7 000 people, including shop and garage owners and company officials, have been arrested since the government decreed in June that the prices of all goods and services in the country should be reduced by at least 50 percent.

Mugabe said on Monday the move was necessary to protect ordinary Zimbabweans from a brutal and merciless price war being waged by greedy businesspeople. – Sapa-dpa
