When I saw the headline I immmediately thought of Cathy Buckle.

But then I knew it couldn't be her as she had been driven off her farm near the beginning of the "hondo yeminda".

There are very few commercial farmers left and the land confiscation continues.

Very few of the confiscated farms are still in production. All the skilled farm employees are living hard in the bush or in hastily erected dagga huts or shanties near the cities where they are serving no good to the agrarian economy upon which Zimbabwe was once based.

And the west will have to send 1.2 million tonnes of maize to make up this year's shortfall in a country that once was a net agricultural exporter.

And Mugabe will complain if so much as a tonne of the maize is genetically engineered.

And Zanu PF will try to control its distribution. Hunger is used as a political weapon in Zimbabwe.

Africa Wins Again.

And I do thank you all. Sometimes, all you can do is bear witness to events as they unfold.
