Desperate

Desperate by Mr Sean.
The expression on these guys faces says a million things, weak from hunger and too poor to own shoes or have a shirt to wear. This is all because of the tyrant they call a president.

A beautiful country ruined because of one mans greed.

Great shot, though I suspect there's more than simply the tyrant/president to blame. Might the problems be larger than one man?

Purely because of Mugabe, close family friends have had their farms taken away from them, they have had the farms for years.... 2 generations brought up there and one day told to move out and leave everything behind. War veterans moved in, trashed the house and setup mud huts and subsistence farm only and no longer export and bring in foreign currency. It was a tobacco farm that was taken. This has happened to thousands of white farmers there. Food aid that comes into the country is only given to his Zanu PF supporters by his police.
I go there every year at least twice and it gets worse and worse, its very sad for such a beautiful country.
