That is Zimbabwe's inflation percentage. Meanwhile, the fuel shortage in the country has grown so severe that president Robert Mugabe engaged the services of a witch, who promised she could produce diesel from rocks. She was given cattle, a home and a car. However, rather than troubling the spirits, she bought refined diesel from truckers and poured it over the rocks. Ms Mavunga was finally found out after a year. Police were reportedly reluctant to take action, as they are scared of witches. The president himself said he wasn't going to be too hard on her.

I heard how bad a situatiom Zimbabwe is in, and this ancient cultural superstition can't help - but as in Haiti, there's a genuine fear of people with vengeful powers to visit upon their enemies. There's also the benefits a witchdoctor can provide, I mean Mugabe did call upon her in the first place. What a (3rd) world....CATHY
