Zimbabwe to import 1.2 million tonnes of maize

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.

Zimbabwe to import 1.2 million tonnes of maize

[There are many days when I think Black Zimbabweans should be left to starve to death. You may think this is a very cruel attitude to have, but I think it is fair and reasonable for many reasons.

For example: Mugabe LIED OPENLY about White Farmers and he claimed, in his Black arrogant, racist way that Blacks could farm and they never needed the Whites. It was a lie… a complete lie. By feeding Zimbabwe, we have GOOD PEOPLE with GOOD INTENTIONS keeping an EVIL MAN and EVIL SYSTEM in power. Will this improve things in Zimbabwe? Actually not. It will mean that because good people are kind, an evil man can prosper and continue.

I think Zimbabweans should have been left to starve for this reason too: The Blacks voted for Mugabe, and the Blacks are not fighting to remove this evil man. Now they all sit around and do absolutely nothing. The Blacks should learn the consequences of their actions.

Neither Mugabe, the Evil Leader, nor the Black People who originally voted him in, are being taught CAUSE and EFFECT and the consequences of their actions… ergo… they have LEARNED NOTHING FROM THIS. This has not strengthened democracy. It has strengthened nobody except Mugabe.

He runs amuck, THREATENING TO STARVE HIS OWN PEOPLE and others run to keep him in power. The evil Communist f*ck should have been KILLED OUTRIGHT and his stupid, evil party should have been annihilated and wiped completely off the face of the Earth. Then Zimbabwe would have been a better place.

But look now… at how South Africa and the world keep this evil, despotic failure in power instead of lopping his rotten head off as it should have been. GOOD PEOPLE have chosen to PERPETUATE EVIL… and thus there will be ever more evil. Its ridiculous. There comes a time when a GOOD MAN must kill an EVIL MAN and SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL THEREBY REDUCING THE SUFFERING OF THE INNOCENTS. It shows that in all the world, there are no people with the will to do what should have been done – which is kill Mugabe and slaughter the remainder of ZANU(PF) to a man. There are no good, strong people left – least of all among the Blacks in Zimbabwe. How sad. Jan]

Harare – Zimbabwe’s government will import 1.2 million tonnes of the staple maize grain in the coming months to make up for a shortfall in national output as the country faces food shortages, state media said on Thursday. Aid agencies say around 4 million people, a third of the population, will need food aid this year after a poor harvest due to drought and a collapse in commercial farming following a land reform programme that gave white-owned farms to landless blacks. But analysts say the government would require more than $250 million to import the maize at a time when it faces shortages of foreign exchange. Food was a key campaign issue in the run-up to March 31 parliamentary polls. President Robert Mugabe publicly admitted for the first time during campaigning that Zimbabwe faced food shortages – but vowed that no-one would starve. “We have put in place a package where we are going to have over 1.2 million tonnes coming into the country over the next few months,” Samuel Muvuti, chief executive of state-run Grain Marketing Board (GMB), told the official Herald newspaper. Officials at the GMB, which has a monopoly to import, buy and sell grain, were not immediately available for comment. The Herald did not say where Zimbabwe intended to acquire the maize or how it would pay for it.

On Wednesday the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) said Zimbabwe had virtually run out of maize and urged Mugabe’s government to appeal for foreign aid. Renson Gasela, MDC shadow agriculture minister, said the party estimated maize output from the just ended crop season at about 500,000 tonnes against domestic requirements of 1.8 million tonnes. Muvuti denied MDC charges that the country had run out of food, saying grain imports had already started being delivered to areas ravaged by drought. The opposition says the government has no foreign currency for food imports and that it will be hard to lure back aid agencies after Mugabe stopped donors from distributing food last year, arguing that the country could feed itself. The United Nations World Food Programme this week said at least 80,000 tonnes of maize would be needed in six southern African countries including Zimbabwe between April and June after drought reduced output, but that only 27,000 tonnes was available. Mugabe has repeatedly denied critics’ charges that his land seizure policy has destroyed commercial agriculture, resulting in food shortages.
