Boy, this seems potentially problematic: “Zimbabwe’s mines minister said on Wednesday the country was reviewing a bill forcing foreign companies to sell stakes in their businesses to make it more user friendly.”
I have no problem with trying to find a way to reconsider and even to adjust foreign investment. But as with Zimbabwe’s land reform, there is a right way to do it and there is the catastrophic and politicized approach that Robert Mugabe has taken. Similarly, now is probably not the time to be pushing away the few remaining foreign investors in Zimbabwe, especially as they are probably already pretty skittish to begin with.
