There are days when 'my husband and I don't eat at all' - Families survive on one meal in drought-hit Zimbabwe

[TheChamp]

Basically and unironically this is the Europeans's creation , african populations exploded with the introduction of farming , to the point where once you remove the euro the people starve BUT wait the good news is that the UN is now providing food to africa and also allowing a further increase in populations

Introduction of farming? what are you saying now Javas?

Introduction of farming? what are you saying now Javas?

Yes introduction , without the wheel you are not farming , you are nomadic and follow the cattle where they graze.
Europe did it too at one stage but then they advanced from subsistence to major agriculture.

It's like everyone on this thread is intentionally ignoring the fact that there is a severe drought in Zimbabwe. Saying stupid things like "They should grow their own vegetables" and "they are just lazy" is just idiotic and lacks any compassion whatsoever. Droughts like this will become more widespread with climate change whatever Pegasus thinks.

People saying that are being sarcastic - I think.

Try and be that sarcastic when a white SA farmer commits suicide because of drought and see how it goes. But I think we both know what kind of sarcasm that is.

During the day we have wild fruit collected by the children, and at night we have smaller portions of sadza with vegetables," harvested from the communal village garden,

The problem is communism, lack of private property. Not farming knowledge.

Don't come with your European logic in here!

Compassion? I have zero to give. But I am sure I can funnel a bit of hatred their way for treating my kind in such a horrible way.

Who treated your kind in a horrible way? Are you using BLF logic in the way you funnel your hatred?

There are days when 'my husband and I don't eat at all' - Families survive on one meal in drought-hit Zimbabwe

In eastern Zimbabwe's parched Buhera district, Omega Kufakunesu's family has been forced to scale down daily meals to just a portion of vegetables and sadza, a thick maize-meal porridge.

Clowns can deny it all they want but it would be much easier to survive difficult times with the presence of experienced commercial farmers, a free economy and the assistance of the $US billions the Mugabe family stole and mismanaged.

Communism and a fcktard dictator with his henchmen also destroyed Zimbabwe. Majority of Zimbabweans are great people but they were forced to vote Zanu-PF.
Look what happened to the Ndebele's under the savage that ruled the country

They’re selling more land they stole from whites to China, even Minsk.

Mt Hampden: China buys vast tracks of land in Zim, to build US$20 billion beautiful city (VIDEO) | My Zimbabwe News

China has sunk her dragon claws deeper into Zimbabwe’s social, political and economic bone marrow by reportedly acquiring vast tracks of land in Mt Hampden, the new capital city of the country, thus effectively buying and owning it for a song, well before construction is even completed...

Your leftist brain is unable to understand what happened as a result of Your hero Bob stealing land from farmers and giving it to cronies.

Droughts, and other "acts of nature" cannot be avoided, but good planning can reduce the impact to a certain degree - what kind of planning do you think those Zimbobweans did?

Aaah yes a 'modern smart city'. At least we know who writes Ramaphosa's speeches and who he ultimately answers to.

Yes you can. Lots of cultures managed to farm without the wheel, and not just in Africa. It's extremely labour intensive, but you can do it.

This is a stupid as hell post even from you Jabu. The bantu were not nomadic, they settled in the same place for long periods of time, had iron tools etc. They cultivated crops and stored them.

You think nomads are building settlements like this? Lel.

There was another thread on this not stop long ago. The headline was something similar, except there was a report attached from the UN and in that entire report there was only one mention of the drought. The rest of the report details how the political climate is mostly to blame.

So, yes, there is a drought but the consequences of the drought would be largely mitigated if the government didn't fall into the communist toilet.

Do you think INDIGENOUS tribal people are building this ?

Exactly, but making those snide comments without personally knowing the people and if they even supported the government's actions is still stupid.

You asked Zoomzoom for paragraphs in the other thread, she obliged, would you also be a lamb and stop with the unnecessary bold sentences and random use of caps lock?

I did notice that you have dropped the vivid colors and I appreciate it.
