"The owner was a brilliant farmer. This guy might get three bags of maize from it," he said.

Lovely.

At this point, I think all we can do is hope that Zimbabwe dies. Nobody is willing to fight for it, and until they wake up and take the country back from Mugabe, they have earned what they sowed.

I'm very disappointed in the white farmers, too. There was little to no resistance, and no effort to flee the inevitable. What's up with that?

Maybe they were outnumbered. I kind of wondered about that when I first heard about this. They'll starve to death and blame everyone but themselves.

Seconded. I think the problem was that the farmers were still too culturally British for their own good. As such, they trusted government to do the right thing and at the same time had no concept of self-defense. American farmers would have organized, shipped in guns and mounted a defense while there was still time.
