The country of Rhodesia had a booming agricultural economy and was known as the breadbasket of the African continent, exporting a huge percentage of their products every year.
As Zimbabwe, under Mugabe’s despotism, the murderous rampage against the European farm owners continued unabated until the country has devolved into a third world cesspool. Starvation normal, inflation astounding, crime rampant.
But, hey! At least those white devils are dead or gone! Much better.
Posters are saying the people are lazy, and not working. I’m not sure that’s the case. The article says they switched to growing maize/corn, and not coffee. They may need to eat, and have gone from an exportable cash crop to sustenance, subsistence farming. Really don’t have enough info to tell, but there certainly are horror stories coming out of there.
