Going hungry…
Villagers who have farmed hard and against the odds and think that they have managed to do what is necessary to feed their family in todays hard times have had a taste of zanu-pf compassion and crisis management. I was attending a funeral in my home area last week and the army were moving from village to village setting aside portions of the crop of maize for the GMB (Grain Marketing Board). Will knowing their crops are going to be taken motivate people to grow more crops next year I wonder?

Thus do famines begin.
The state steals grain, so farmers only grow enough for themselves. When a drought begins, there is no surplus. Then people starve.
Famines are all caused by governments.
