One of the presidential family’s business partners loses his mining rights after they fall out over a flat in Hong Kong

Zimbabwe has confiscated the platinum and copper interests of Hsieh Ping-sung without compensation after he fell out with President Robert Mugabe and his family, Africa Confidential has learned. Mugabe and Hsieh, a Taiwanese-born South African, are locked in a legal battle in Hong Kong over a flat which Mugabe claims was held in trust by Hsieh’s company, Cross Global, but which Hsieh says he owns. Hsieh was also involved in a legal dispute with First Lady Grace Mugabe over the delivery of some lorries three years ago.

    It is said that one of the the things that separates humans from animals is that humans are self aware. They can see themselves as others might and adjust their behaviour accordingly. This is why it is possible for people to feel shame when they behave badly. The Mugabes must be fundamentally damaged. They do not behave in the way one would expect a human to behave.

      Because, as you say JT, they are low, animals.

      On second thoughts, I apologize to all our animal friends, I didn’t mean to compare you to Mugarbage and his family.
      Nothing can compare, but Satan.

      Forgive me?

      It’s not CHEF, Nyoni, that’s a cook, you mean CHIEF,

      And you are wrong, he is in NO WAY a Chief anything, but thief, killer and plunderer of Zimbabwe!

    Hear Hear! Senzachena, unfortunately the money spent purchasing this property probably belongs to the Zimbabwean people

    A friend once described how he almost came to grief pursuing burglars who were escaping with goods just stolen from his house. They stopped, turned and confronted him. Fortunately he came to no harm. Later he was advised by a detective: “Next time, beware; thieves can defend their stolen loot with such brazen aggression, you could never imagine they stole the stuff.”

    Mugabe idiot, he took back the mine he had given this chap for free. A Zimbabwean asset. The chink got away with a building worth millions in Hong Kong. Who is the clever one then. Idiot.
    Now he is trying to use the state to fight a case he will not win, by pretending its state property. Buffoon. This chap is Chinese and in China,a Mugabe is delusional to think he can get our stolen loot back.
    He should be content with the billions he stashed away in Singapore.
