The "grim" discovery at a government-run cholera treatment centre in Chegutu, south of Harare, was made by the aid agency Medecins Sans Frontieres, which found patients with no supply of food or even water.

"Dead people were lying everywhere," said Luis Maria Tello, MSF's medical co-ordinator in Chegutu, which has one of the highest cholera fatality rates in the country.

"The situation was absolute chaos. There were no beds and patients everywhere. People were dying of thirst because there was no water."

That proves it, George Bush hates Black people.
