"We are the true owners of this land."

"We have said we are now independent and we are masters of our destiny. That is true. But what is more important is our economy."

"Our resources belong to us."

"Our economy is a hundred times better than the average African economy. Outside South Africa, what country is [as good as] Zimbabwe? … What is lacking now are goods on the shelves – that is all."
