        Zimbabwe became poorer after finding diamonds. Another opportunity for ZANU PF officials to fill their pockets.

        Nothing good will come from that. The cartel running Zimbabwe will make sure of that. We had diamonds. In fact we have many other minerals but nothing to show.

        To an ordinary Zimbabwean there s no excitement here .The country has vast resources enough to make every citizen a millionaire yet hospitals have no medicine, ,poverty & malnutrition is widespread nothing new we all know what's gonna happen .

        Lets hope the Zimbabwean government is not taking us for a ride, like that one time they claimed they had discovered a rock that provides a limitless supply of refined diesel with the help of a witchdoctor

        I really hope this fails. Countries that have committed so many atrocities in recent history really don’t deserve the kind of power that comes with oil.
