Homelessness
Issues In Zimbabwe |
| |
|
|
In 2000 the government of Zimbabwe introduced a Land reform programme.
4,400 whites owned 32% of Zimbabwe’s land.
The government wanted
to return land to black workers, but the problem was that they were
not paying the white farmers for the land. The white workers got beaten
up
by the black people. People were being moved from farms where
they worked and they had to look for another job.
In the country everyone
was all
over the place. Some made shelters out of anything they could find
even if it was a weak material.

| These are 2 kids who are poor and living in apalling
conditions |
|

Many families who were forced out of their homes now had nowhere to
live. They had no jobs which meant no money and
they were
starving.
They were living
on
the
streets
and
dying. |

Many black families did not have medicines so when they fell ill
they had nothing to make them better. Some of the black workers and white
farmers were holding opposing sides. Aids made African people lazy in
Zimbabwe.
Schools also reported that their attendance was dropping. The food program
said about 3 to 4 million people needed food. They began trying to help
these people out and stop more people dying from starvation. |

Do you think the black and the whites should run the country?
How do you feel about people in this sad situation?
What do you think about children not going to school?
