True, some land was bought by a few Cabinet Ministers. They bought the land. No minister, to my knowledge acquired land which was meant for resettlement.

Dont fight even over girlfriends. The country is full of beautiful women. If you cant get one, come to Mugabe for assistance.

We pride ourselves as being top, really, on the African ladder... We feel that we have actually been advancing rather than going backwards.

We are no longer going to ask for the land, but we are going to take it without negotiating.

Only God who appointed me will remove me.
