I see his form of democracy is such a success. All the fighting and the in power elite are sure doing their darndest to make sure they take care of the inflation by killing thier population through starvation or war. The UN needs to support Tsvangari!!

As long as people still use unhelpful language like in this article racism will reign for a longer period of time. The underlying problems for Zim not meeting targeted hectarage is ssimply poor management around projects. Whether white or black the mistake can be repeated. The constant reference to 84 year old Mugabe and the land reform program there will always be people sympathising with the black population of Zim.

'Zimbabwe used to produce close to 400,000 tonnes of wheat annually, but output has collapsed since ruling party members and allies began seizing white-owned commercial farms in 2000, driving down agricultural output by over 60 per cent.'

Us devils, the whites that is, sure messed things up again. When are we going to learn to stay out of other countries problems?
