• Important Announcement Regarding Zimbabwe - Since the March 2008 election in Zimbabwe, various people have been involved in trying to reach some sort of political agreement between the major parties - whether as a "government of national unity" as proposed by former South African President Thabo Mbeki or more generally a shared power arrangement.
  
  The Delamere Group is now compelled, in view of the seriously deteriorating conditions in Zimbabwe, and as it is now almost impossible to conduct any business dealings with this country, to provide our support to the suggestions of this leading group of academics, headed by the well known South African Dr Denis Worrall.
  
  A leading report was released in January 2009 entitled ZIMBABWE: WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE and we invite all our readers to examine this report (16 pages in PDF format) and any constructive comments regarding the future of Zimbabwe can be submitted to the offices of the Delamere Group or to the office of Dr Worrall. This report on Zimbabwe is provided by Dr Denis Worrall and the Omega Investment Research Group of which Dr Worrall is the Chairman, and may be contacted at denisw@omegainvest.co.za
