"The 'settlers', that's what we are supposed to call them, have cut down thousands of wonderful indigenous trees," said Mr Erasmus.

"They have extorted money from me for months. Their children swear at me and my wife at the school they have created in my workshops. They have stolen so much of my equipment. This is no life. I had to move my cattle. Every time they went near a settler's piece of land they said we had caused damage and they extorted me. I have paid out millions."

Maureen Erasmus said: "Packing up 30 years of rubbish is hell. We only have a few workers left. The government says we must pay them packages before we go. We have no money left in the bank to pay anyone. We only have an overdraft."

Well, the productive ones are stripped bare and kicked out. Now the appointees of Mugabe will have to feed the country. Let black Africans feed their own. That is what Mugabe wants, isn't it? Or is Mugabe too busy trying to find countries that he can fly into, anything but staying in the hellhole he's created while his people starve?

The farmers need to immigrate to the U.S., Canada, Britain or Australia. Every last one of them.

Once Zimbabwe begins to starve, the farmers can read about it on page A-27 of their newspaper.

It is not enough to just say that. What we need to do and what we should do is bombard our Representatives and Senators and tell them: "Not one damned dollar for Zimbabwe. Not now, not ever. Let them reap what they sow. Not one damned dollar."

No doubt they will be crying to the UN for food and money in the coming months and years.

The sucker American taxpayer is paying to feed Zimbabwe, and we practically have to beg them to take our food.

Read it and weep:
