Yes, land was taken from EVERYBODY, then redistributed to EVERYONE evenly (unless you were pals with the gov, you got more if you were)

Everyone got 3/4 of an acre which wasn't enough to really do anything with. The country is still in shambles from that deal. Seems I heard a few weeks ago they were knocking all the zeros off their money, again (they've done this a couple of times) because of hyperinflation.

With everything going on in our country, I haven't paid as much attention to Zimbabwe as I use to.
