Happy Holidays for Bobby Mugabe and Pals
Apparently no ghosts of Christmas past, present, or future troubled Bobby Mugabe as The Independent (South Africa) reveals in Mugabe goes on a Singapore shopping blitz:

When it comes to lavish Christmas spending, Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe is king.

Mugabe has outdone his big-spending spin doctor Jonathan Moyo by flying to Singapore to indulge in a huge shopping spree of his own, while back home millions of his countrymen face starvation, partly because of Mugabe's failed policies.

Information Minister Moyo's two week spending spree in Johannesburg received extensive news coverage this week, but Mugabe went to even greater lengths to stock up on expensive goods for himself and beat the shortages caused by the Zimbabwean economy's state of near paralysis.

Singapore is south-east Asia's premier shopping destination, with thousands of shops selling the best the world's manufacturers have to offer, and Mugabe stocked up with 15 trolley loads, including high-tech electronic goods.

It seems that Singapore is the favorite shopping spot for Mugabe and family since he is banned from the UK and USA. I wonder if he picked up a moustache trimmer?

And if you haven't been following the Moyo saga, here's a teaser:

Jonathan Moyo, the Zimbabwean information minister who this week described South Africans as "filthy and recklessly uncouth", is at the centre of a diplomatic row that has sent relations between the two countries into a nosedive.

It has also caused the government of President Robert Mugabe to distance itself from the remarks of its chief spin doctor.

Moyo's outburst, after an expose in the Sunday Times last weekend of his recent spending spree in Johannesburg while his compatriots starved, led to the South African foreign ministry delivering a formal demarche to the Zimbabwean government on Tuesday, demanding a full explanation of the minister's tirade.
...
Moyo, a former critic of the Zimbabwean government, has risen to the post of information minister and President Robert Mugabe's closest adviser in the space of 18 months. A former university professor who spent a year on sabbatical at Wits university, he has had a meteoric rise to one of the most influential positions in Zimbabwe.

But his rise has come at a price. Moyo has offended all sides in Zimbabwe and is known among his critics as "the most hated man in Zimbabwe".

More hated than Bobby? That's quite an achievement!
