Well, a large convoy of food and other help is being shipped to Zim from South African churches...and guess what?

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - The arrival of South African food donated to Zimbabweans made homeless by a government crackdown has been delayed by Harare's demand for written confirmation that it was not genetically modified, a church spokesman said on Monday.
More deaths thanks to "green concerns"...in the US, everyone eats the stuff, and has for years, but never mind...and of course, the greens are at the root of not spraying DDT etc to destroy malaria carrying mosquitoes in towns, since it might harm the birds....
The South African Council of Churches sent food and blankets last Monday to people affected by the government's "Operation Restore Order" to raze shantytowns and illegal business premises that the UN says left 700,000 homeless......
Zimbabwean state media at the time sought to discredit the South African clerics, suggesting their visit was bankrolled by British intelligence as part of a smear campaign against President Robert Mugabe's government.
Steele said he did not believe there were political motives behind the delays: "I think it's just normal red tape, bureaucracy."
Yup...people starving, but red tape comes first....But church leaders painted a dim report of the reality of Zim...LINK
And this goes against the delusional reality that Mugabe claims here..... LINK...
Ironically, in the tsunami, much of the official help was held up for months by red tape...LINK...what saved people is that the US, the Aussies, the Indians, and Japan, with their helicopters ignored the red tape (and the UN: LINK) in the first few weeks....as did local churches/mosques and temples (both Buddhist and Hindu) who housed refugees, buried the dead, and gave first aid...LINK...however, as noted above, church leaders are now the enemy....
