....the British and the Americans, seen by Mugabe as his sworn enemies, have already provided more food for our people than any other nations.

A report on the radio this past weekend, stated the USA had sent XXX tons of food to Zimbabwe. I am livid! The socialists and '60's hippies who work in our government have no idea how to correct the problem in Zim. Sending food is a waste of maney and resources. Who says Mugabe will distribute the food? He may sell it to China or Viet Nam!

Food aid is distributed through the World Food Program.

Maize, the regional staple, is a fungible, it gets mixed in with other maize and distributed on a regional basis.

The problem is that Mugabe's bureaucracy is interfering with the logistics and Mugabe's thugs are interfering with the distribution.
