Some people from Limpopo are already short of food and water supply. Recently photos emerged of women digging a dry riverbed for water. There are speculations that some of them crossed the border during Easter to purchase alcohol and cigarettes for sales in the black market.
Now, the food shortage may also prompt them to go in search of food in Zimbabwe very soon if nothing is done by the government as a matter of urgency. The issue here is not if Zimbabweans have food to give people, the issue is, are our people not actually in need of food? A hungry man is an angry man and an angry man is the one who breaks laws.
I think the relief from the government of our distinguished president, Cyril Ramaphosa should focus on the villages and the interiors. Water is a very essential element that no human can do without.
The government should first supply them water. Then the food distribution should be closely monitored to ensure that the poor ones have a fair share first. The government also appealed that if you can substain yourself, leave the food packages for those in dire needs. It will be a shameful thing if our people keep crossing the border fence we erected to go to Zimbabwe in search of food when the food in Zimbabwe is even barely enough for the people there. Let what happened between the US and Mexico not happen.
The US erected a security fence between them and Mexico. Their citizens were the ones who broke the fence to gain entrance into Mexico. The government should take action immediately.
