Mujuru defends BEE plan
(Zimbabwe) Vice-president Joyce Mujuru is in a last-minute bid to sell the controversial Indigenisation Act that threatens to take away majority ownership of foreign-owned properties.
Mujuru addressed delegates at the Business Conference of the just-ended Zimbabwe International Trade Fair, reassuring them that the government was flexible and willing to take suggestions on the act.
"Concern has been raised on our indigenisation and economic empowerment programme. There has been focus on the distribution rather than on new investments," she said in her address.
"Our thrust is not unique to Zimbabwe but is common throughout the world, including our neighboring states," she said.
Bullshit Joyce, yours is completely unique - admit it you have no clue when it comes to anything (and I stress ANYTHING). You expect anyone to take you and Bob seriously after you stole huge tracts of land from their legal owners without compensation.
Concern so far centres on threats by some elements within Zanu-PF to grab foreign-owned companies in a fashion reminiscent of the chaotic land reform programme.
However, Mujuru denied that the Indigenisation Act was a special Zanu-PF project.
"Every Zimbabwean has to benefit from the act," she said.
As John Lennon once said in a Hard Day's Night "A likely story".

A big fear for foreign investors is that there is no security in Zimbabwe, since the government often changes its standpoint when it comes to foreigners and their investments.
However, Mujuru tried to assure investors.
"The government of Zimbabwe welcomes investors and assures them that their investment is safe in Zimbabwe. There are laws that safeguard and protect private property and these will continue to be respected," said Mujuru.
This is like ZumachineGat telling the South African public that the Guptas are just casual acquaintances.
