You're right. A dead man is not a sick, hungry or rebellious man.

Did they deport white doctors from Zimbabwe, the way they took the land of white farmers and gave it to black farmers who didn’t have the knowledge of agriculture to produce crops? There is famine and hunger in Zimbabwe because of that. Maybe they also evicted knowledgeable doctors to make a similar half assed political statement.

Mugabe will reap what he sows.
