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 Standard (Harare)
December 23, 2001
ZIMBABWE has all but run out of its staple food crop, maize, and this is
likely to trigger a country-wide shortage of mealie meal.
Southern and northern areas of the country are already feeling the pinch
of the shortage. Industry sources say commercial stocks will have dried
up by the middle of next month.
As of 23 November 2001, the Grain Marketing Board (GMB) had 93 000 tonnes
of maize left in stock of which 70% (64 000 tonnes) was considered fit for
human consumption. Sales from the GMB have, for the past two months, been
running at over 20 000 tonnes a week, leading to stocks becoming
completely exhausted last Wednesday.
“As commercial stocks run out, this shortage will become more and more
serious and it can be expected that by mid January, Zimbabwe will have run
out of its staple food,” said Eddy Cross, the MDC secretary for economic
affairs.
Government spokesman, Jonathan Moyo, did not respond to telephone calls
from The Standard.
Zimbabwe needs a total supply of about 150 000 tonnes of maize a month
with two-thirds needed for the production of Roller Meal and Super-Refined
Meal, and the balance going towards stock feed.
