That's a sad photo. We will be bombarded with them via the media soon, (how about some photos of the murdered farmers as well??) but I have also read that many of these people that will soon be starving to death believe the whites should eventually be kicked off of their land. No aid to racists, let nature take its course. There would be no better incentive for a revolution. These people need to take responsibility and control over their lives and quit looking for the West to bail them out of their messes every few years.

Zimbabwe's farmers get no reprieve - South Africa refuses to comment *** Zimbabwe used to be South Africa's top trading partner on the continent. Now, South African exports across the Limpopo River border have all but stopped. South Africa's currency, the rand, has lost more than 30 percent of its value since Zimbabwe's land crisis began in February 2000. Several factors have contributed to this slide, but Reserve Bank economists cite Zimbabwe's crisis first among them. Thousands of illegal Zimbabwean refugees, meanwhile, flee south each month into a country that already faces 40 percent unemployment. South African President Thabo Mbeki's spokesman, Bheki Khumalo, when asked yesterday about the deteriorating conditions in Zimbabwe, said, ''At this stage, it would be unwise for us to comment.''***
