[3 Pics] The Zimbabwe Drought Myth

[This is one of the old but important stories from the original AfricanCrisis website that I am converting on to the new site, in the new format.

Here I was exposing Mugabe's lies in the early years where he kept claiming that they had food problems because of a mythical drought. Jan]

Zimbabwe: The Drought Myth

The following photos come from a most interesting document on the www.ZwNews.com website. Those of us living in Africa do not buy the drought myth. Malawi, for example, is not outof food because of a drought but because their Socialist (Marxist?) Government has mysteriouslysold off all its grain reserves. They claim it was mismanagement. But who bought it? Mugabe?At this time, July 2002, there is talk that Mugabe has to import 2 million tons of maize. Maizeis being harvested here in South Africa and driven straight up to Zimbabwe. Everyone, includingSouth Africa, the USA, the UN and Church organisations are bringing food to Zimbabwe to keepmillions of people from starving to death. But the worst is yet to come. They are expecting the shortage tobite from August onwards. Does anyone remember that those of us opposing Mugabe's land acquisition madness had beensaying since 2000 that it would lead to mass starvation? Its happening, but the Zimbabweansand others are trying to cover it up with their propaganda and lies. This document from ZwNews is interesting as it shows clearly that white farmers were ableto produce crops when the "settlers/War Vets" could not. In this photo below the green crop at the top belongs to a commercial farmer and the cropat the bottom belongs to black "settlers" In the two photos below, we see two wheat fields which are adjacent to each other.The one on the left belongs to a commercial farmer and the one on the right to the black "settlers".
