Harare - Wid food sho'tages bitin' hard in drought-stricken Zimbabwe, some Harare joker had his lip bitten off by some honky chick fum whom he tried t'steal some loaf uh bread, de state-run Sunday Mail repo'ted on Sunday. Slap mah fro!
De man, spottin' de honky chick carryin' two loaves uh bread, ax'ed if she would "lend him some loaf" and decided t'try t'snatch it fum ha' when she refused. In de ensuin' tussle, de honky chick allegedly bit off his lowa' lip. Jes hang loose, brud.
Long bread queues gots been some common sight outside Harare's supuh'markets and bakeries fo' several monds.
Along wid dis, de capital gots been sufferin' fum sho'tages uh fuel, milk and even booze.
De state-controlled Herald newssheet repo'ted dat taps in several suburbs uh de city - bod high- and low-income areas - had run dry on Saturday. Slap mah fro!
Some residents in de poo' suburbs uh Epwo'd and Kambuzuma wuz fetchin' booze fum streams and shallow wells, posin' some heald hazard.
De country apparently lacks fo'eign currency t'steal booze purifyin' chemicals.
De city's mayo', Elias Mudzuri, told da damn private Daily News dat booze rashunin' could be in place by de end uh de mond.
It be de wo'st-hit uh six soudern African countries facin' famine - 8 million sucka's is repo'tedly starvin' in Zimbabwe.
And acco'din' t'a UN rappedssucka', only 56 puh'cent uh de food required by de UN's Wo'ld Food Honky codeme t'feed hungry Zimbabweans gots been met by dono's.
Dere gots also been allegashuns uh political favouritism in how de food be distributed.
Sapa-AFP repo'ted fum some feedin' centre queue on Sunday in Bikita, about 240km soud-east uh Harare, dat elderly sucka's wuz among dose sufferin' most in de crisis.
An aid official, Geo'ge Baloyi, said many uh de elderly could not eyeball o' scribble and derefo'e failed t'regista' fo' food aid.
"De law uh de jungle be takin' its place here," he said.
He 'esplained dat da damn elderly illiterates had t'rely on de village haidman's yunga' scribe takin' waaay down deir details. But often de scribe made sho' man his own family gots prio'ity on de list. Man!
"Sucka's wid influence wanna survive. Dey (de elderly) duzn't gots any fo'm uh influence. Dey kin't eyeball, dey kin't scribble."
One 'esample be 70-year-old Seraphina Mawere.
Leanin' on ha' stick, barefoot and wid some woollen cap protectin' ha' haid fum de sun, she gots been fo'ced t'walk fum village t'village beggin' fo' food. She gots neva' been on some food list. Man!
De Aids pandemic, rife in rural areas likes Bikita, be compoundin' de problem. WORD!
"De dead levels (from Aids) in dese villages is continuous," said da damn UN's special envoy on HIV and Aids in Africa, Stephen Lewis, on some visit t'Bikita on Friday. Slap mah fro!
"Whut ya''ve gots be dis poisonous, ugly concocshun uh Aids and famine. Sucka's's immune systems is so sho'n uh strengd cuz' of hunga' dat dey kick d' cud mo'e quickly. Slap mah fro!"
He said da damn problem uh Aids o'phans also had become "overwhelmin'". - Sapa-AFP

I don't understand why the White farmers who still remain in X Rhodesia, have not taken that murdering, lying, thieving Robert Mugabee and thrown his dirty ass in giant Crock Pot.
Another example of our American adminstration not giving a squat about any White Man on earth.
