Just printing money and thinking that the economy will not suffer is a rather stupid idea. Take a look at the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. The different states had their own currency and kept printing it. The inflation they faced during the war was one reason that the 'dixie' lost. Unless Mugabe does something about his country's currency, it won't look very good for Zimbabwe.
