While on TDY to Mbabane, Swaziland, in the 80s, I was reading the Johannesberg Star. There was a story there concerning a dirt-poor village in war-torn Mozambique. Some RENAMO guerillas came through the village looking for FRELIMO soldiers. They came upon a young mother in her hut who had been scavenging for food for her infant. She told the guerillas how hungry she was. The guerilla chief took the infant from the mother and threw him in a pot of boiling water. He told the mother to eat the child if she was that hungry. The mother then suffered a fatal heart attack. This from the Jo'berg Star, a government organ solidly in RENAMO'S corner.
