The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Dictators, Habit #3; Refuse All Assistance
In the past there have been numerous stories of conditions worsening in Zimbabwe and of people going to great lengths to keep feeding themselves.
This article in the Cape Argus is an indication of just how bad things have gotten in Zim; people are eating rats to keep surviving & following railway lines where grain is transported, hoping to pick up a few stray seeds.
Obviously Robert Mugabe's tactic of "Food crisis? What food crisis?" is still working.
Illegal immigrants are still flooding into South Africa on a daily basis, desperate to send home food to their families while Bob sits in his presidential palace cutting up a nice, juicy steak every night.
And while Bob chews through that medium/rare morsel, I have to wonder how many of those starving Zimbabweans know that 1) Robert Mugabe's diet hasn't suffered at all in the last ten years, 2) Mr . Mugabe has regularly refused food aid from the US - using various excuses & 3) the Zanu PF government has done almost nothing about the crisis, often denying that there is one...
Obviously Bob's dementia is now available in a handy tablet form, taken daily by every Zanu PF cabinet member - with water after a full gourmet meal!
