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.

Cape Town – South Africa is satisfied that its R300 million agricultural aid package to Zimbabwe has reached small-scale farmers in the poverty-stricken country, a government spokesman said on Wednesday.
“We are satisfied that the South African aid was received by the targeted ordinary Zimbabweans,” spokesman Thabo Masebe told reporters at a briefing following the fortnightly cabinet meeting.
Masebe said a task team led by the director-general in the presidency, Frank Chikane, visited Zimbabwe and reported back to cabinet that the aid was handed out in accordance with guidelines set by the 15-nation Southern African Development Community.
“An interdepartmental task team that visited Zimbabwe over the past two weeks has also found that there was compliance with the SADC framework,” he said.
The aid package consisted of seeds, fertiliser and fuel and was intended to help combat dire poverty and food shortages in Zimbabwe.
It was put together last year but was held back by Pretoria in November in a bid to pile pressure on President Robert Mugabe and the opposition to form a unity government.
By late December, however, as the humanitarian crisis in Zimbabwe escalated South Africa began sending the farming aid to its northern neighbour.
Mugabe and opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai finally formed a power-sharing government in February. Tsvangirai, now prime minister, has said that it would cost $5 billion to put Zimbabwe back on its feet.
SADC is considering ploughing $2 billion into the country’s reconstruction. – Sapa
