The investement was to make their own pockets deeper. The problem was, there is nothing deep enough to feed their hunger, whilst everyone else starves.

Most of the external debt was largely borrowed before the 2000s and as far as I can remember Mugabe used it responsibly , it was mostly $100 million łōåňș and it ballooned because of interests, the problem is that Mugabe suddenly refused to continue payments in the late 90s in response to being given the cold shoulder by the Western funded lenders as a result of Zim's participation in the DRC war. Where there are large question marks is that domestic debt, where the Treasury was just busy assuming various debts of powerful individuals and failing parastatals linked to Zanu PF and placing it on the government hence us the people. If we manage to fix our relations with the West they may forgo the arrears but we will have to pay for the initial value of the łōåňș but the figures will be much smaller. The debt before the land reforms was mostly clean, the ones after that chaotic period are the ones which we should be worried about because that chaotic reform didn't just take away the economy with it, it also destroyed the governance systems, judicial independence and largely entrenched cronyism and corruption within the State. Strive would have never won against the government had this captured Judiciary existed back then. So 2000 really was the turning point for this country, the start of our self-destruction.

You would have to ask China's permission first.

They are being exported, but the funds are staying external. That is why they need to fly out of the country to see the "gold" that is funding the new bondi.
