Are there any figures on exactly how many whites remain in Zimbabwe? There can't be many left.
I fear for their safety, and their freedom --- it will be another month of starvation before harvest, and it's rumored to be a poor one.
Rioting may break out --- real anarchy, not staged this time. If whites aren't killed outright they may be enslaved on the same farms they formerly owned.
The squatters and Mugabe cronies that seized the farms don't know how to make them produce and I doubt Mugabe will return them.
Forced white labor may be the only way to feed the people.
I suspect that the number of effectives is proportionally less than that.
This is the autumn in the southern hemisphere. the harvest will be a poor one. A year ago the government was ony willing to admit to a projected maize (mealy meal) shortfall of 100,000 tonnes. At that time independent expert opinion was that the shortfall would be on the order of 600,000 tonnes. the current projection is over 1,000.000 tonnes, which Zim can't afford and hasn't the ifrastructure to import and distribute on an emergency basis.
