Mugabes handiwork

According to the UNICEFs Child-Sensitive Social Protection in Zimbabwe report, an estimated 78 percent of Zimbabweans live in absolute poverty, while a burgeoning HIV/AIDS pandemic has killed many breadwinners to leave large numbers of child-headed families, most of who cannot meet any of their basic needs and suffer from chronic hunger.

In a food security report, the FEWSNET said that more than three million Zimbabweans were in need of food aid between January and March and projections are that the 2009/10 agriculture harvest will again fall short of the countrys consumption needs.

The Zanu (PF) merchants of hunger will no doubt be quick to remind us that Zimbabwe and southern Africa have suffered erratic rains for much of the past decade. They will hasten to refresh our memories about how the world financial crisis has hit every country hard. Hypocrites and liars! The undeniable truth is that Zimbabwe is in this sorry state solely because of the actions and policies of Mugabe and Zanu (PF). God is our witness.

Their so-called land reforms and every call from them for black economic empowerment are nothing but cheap lies to cover their tracks and justify looting property from fellow citizens, starving innocent orphans and torturing those who oppose their vile ways. Just see how in the midst of all this poverty and suffering all we hear from them is endless moaning that Western countries should lift the travel and financial bans on Mugabe, his wife, family and close associates.

How will a visa for Jocelyn Chiwenga or Grace Mugabe to go shopping in London or New York bring food to the thousands of child-headed families recorded by UNICEF? Of course, the vampires are too busy looting the riches of Marange to hear the cries of the poor and hungry.

But what must be has to be. Justice is a must and every one of the looters and torturers shall one day have to account for their deeds. And let no one among them say they were never warned!
