| #1 This says it all: The impending migration of Hughes and his colleagues is the latest and most remarkable chapter in the exodus of white Zimbabwean farmers – shown the door by Mugabe and vilified as greedy racists – to other African countries where they are breathing new life into moribund farming economies. Zambia, an importer of maize, its staple food, for the first 36 years of independence, has become a maize exporter since the first white Zimbabweans began arriving in 2001. Africa needs them, and bless 'em they're doing the Lord's work, but I would have bid good bye long ago. |
