WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Zim: Blacks kill each other over food
“Cases of murder in the drought stricken areas are on the increase…”
Masvingo – A juvenile was fatally assaulted by an enraged man who had lost half a bucketful of mealie-meal in the drought-ravaged district of Chivi, Masvingo province, police confirmed to The Standard on Wednesday. According to a police report, Hamilton Ruzvidzo, 12, was allegedly flogged with a stick by Vengai Magove, 25, who accused him of stealing his treasured maize meal. On the fateful day, Magove had collected some leftovers from a grinding mill at Berejena High School. He managed to get half a bucketful, which he intended to use to feed his family. He then left the mealie-meal unattended to attend to other business and when he came back he found the scarce commodity missing. The police report says Magove then called some boys who were playing nearby, and threatened to beat them if they did not tell him who had taken his mealie-meal. The boys ran away, but Ruzvidzo was caught and thoroughly beaten. Magove is then said to have taken Ruzvidzo to his 65-year-old father, where he continued to assault the juvenile. Following the consistent beating, Ruzvidzo fell unconscious and was later taken to Berejena Mission clinic where he died upon admission.
Police provincial spokesperson, Inspector Learn Ncube, confirmed the incident to The Standard and said they had arrested Magove in connection with the case. “We have since arrested the accused person. We are currently making final touches in our investigations to ascertain as to what exactly transpired. Cases of murder in the drought stricken areas are on the increase, but we urge members of the public to desist from violence because they risk being taken to court to face the wrath of law,” said Ncube. He said police had established community liaison offices so that they could counsel those that engaged in disputes, to discourage them from taking the law into their own hands. The endemic starvation has hit Masvingo hard, with government officials estimating that 400 000 people are in urgent need of relief supplies.
