Seven million Africans face famine despite crop gains

DAR ES SALAAM, (Reuters) - Some seven million people in southern Africa, most in Zimbabwe, face famine without international food handouts, officials said on Sunday.

That despite Zambia and Malawi -- two of the six countries that faced severe food shortages last year -- expected to record surpluses this year alongside economic powerhouse South Africa, Tanzanian Foreign Minister Jakaya Kikwete said in Dar es Salaam.

But Zimbabwe, along with Swaziland and Lesotho -- at the epicentre of last year's crisis -- will need help to feed their people, said Kikwete, the new chair of the ministerial council of the 14-member Southern African Development Community (SADC).
