Hummmmmmm....if you were the head of one of the major oil companies listed here, and Mugabe decided to zseize your "facility"....what would you do? Bomb the plant with sand and make it unusable??? SIDENT MUGABE of Zimbabwe has threatened to seize the facilities of leading oil companies operating in the country and use them to distribute fuel. At the annual congress of his ruling Zanu (PF) party, Mr Mugabe said that the Government could “acquire” service stations and storage facilities, compensate the companies to which they belonged and dispense the fuel. There are five multinational oil firms with a presence in Zimbabwe — BP, Shell, Mobil, Total and Caltex — and their assets there are worth millions of pounds.
