Here, black people and white people alike are being hurt and disenfranchised by Mugabe. Let us all get involved in the Zimbabwe situation now, because, if we don't it will happen over and over again until all of the wildlife and personal freedoms in Africa are gone. But we know better. A state of lawlessness exists in Zimbabwe because of the Land Grab. And because of the Land Grab, poachers are having a free run.
Political greed begets greed of all kinds.
Politicians, in the quest to buy votes, are allowing the illegal Land Grab to continue as uncontrolled hordes of war veterans and thugs occupy multi-million dollar farms and ranches, only to reduce them to ruin by decimating all that once lived or was grown there. In the process they are putting thousands of local people's lives at great risk. Local game scouts and game wardens, fearing for their own lives, stand helplessly by and can do nothing to prevent it. In such situations, cowardly poachers are quick to take advantage and exploit the very wildlife resources that the farmers, ranchers and their workers toiled a lifetime to propagate and protect.
