"These droughts can be pretty tough."

Especially the unusual kind that you get in Zim.

Characterized by full irrigation dams, burnt-out bore hole pumps, vandalized drip irrigation systems, veldt fires and land from which farm workers have been forcibly evicted.

In 2 years Zim's agrarian sector has gone from highly technological farming system, hedged against dry spells using modern planning and a net exporter of agricultural products to become a medieval, subsistence, slash-and burn, scratch agricultural system in which irrigation means sending the wife and the girls a kilometer or more to fetch pails of water from the nearest stream.

What you have here is the same thing Stalin did to the kulaks and Pol Pot did in Cambodia. The elites will now move into the farms that have been built by the white farmers. There will be little or no food production. In two years the population of Zimbabwe will have been halved.
