UK PRESS: Zimbabwe Crops Fail Despite Ample Rain White plantation owners get the boot - Kunte Kinte starves :( LONDON (Dow Jones)--Food crops in Zimbabwe have failed again despite ample rainfall, the Daily Telegraph reports Wednesday without citing sources. Zimbabwe is expected this year to grow less than half of what it needs to feed the population and the rains have denied President Robert Mugabe his standard explanation of poor weather for slumping production. More than 20 million acres of Zimbabwe's well-developed agricultural land has been confiscated from about 4,000 experienced white farmers since 2000 and handed to Mugabe's supporters, senior civil servants and members of his extended family.
