Author claims Zimbabwe could face starvation like 1980s Ethiopia

HARARE, 18 August. - (ANA) - Zimbabwe is set for a famine like the one that hit Ethiopia in the 1980s, the country’s most acclaimed novelist has warned.

Tsitsi Dangarembga said the starvation “would be a continued slow implosion, a sort of black hole that sucks everyone into it”, adding: “People often say that things can’t get any worse.

We will soon start to see what ‘worse’ looks like.” 200,000 to 1.2 million died during the Ethiopian famine.  - (ANA) -
