There is a resemblance between Hitler’s Germany and Mugabe’s Zimbabwe. Both preached racial supremacy but as some people already know, black people are far from being superior to anyone. In Hitler’s Germany everyone had a car, a job, money, and all it ever wanted, however in Mugabe’s Zimbabwe, white farmers are being killed, rapped and even cast away by racist black people. Now because there is no more white farmers and blacks are usually lazy, it looks like they’re back to savage tribalism and soon maybe even to cannibalism.
For us it is a saddening sight – a magnificent bull elephant struck down in his old age.
But for the starving of Zimbabwe, it was little short of a miracle.
The carcass provided a vital source of food, and hundreds of desperate villagers in the Gonarezhou National Park descended on the dead animal within minutes of its discovery.
Using machetes, axes and knives made from tin cans they set upon the six-ton carcass, which was found deep in scrubland.
Fallen giant: The corpse of the bull elephant lies undisturbed in deep scrubland in Gonarezhou National Park
The desperate descend: Within minutes, starving villagers arrive at the carcass
Fights broke out as villagers battled to strip chunks of flesh from the animal and drag them away to feed their families.
It took just one hour and 47 minutes for the 13ft-tall elephant to be reduced to a skeleton. Every part was used for food, even the trunk and ears.
The bones of the 70-year-old animal were taken to boil for soup and within 24 hours nothing was left but a blood-stained patch of earth.
The images are undeniably shocking. But they illustrate the terrible lengths to which Zimbabweans are forced to go just to survive under Robert Mugabe.
Yesterday, the Red Cross warned the situation in the former British colony is ‘critical’ with 2.17million – one in four of the population – requiring urgent food aid.
Battle begins: Soon, the villagers are fighting to get the urgently-needed meat
Audience: People gather on a hill a short distance away to watch village men get to work
Emma Kundishora, of the Zimbabwe Red Cross Society, said: ‘In some parts of the country, the food situation is as bad as many of our volunteers and staff have ever seen.’
Conditions are expected to deteriorate further this year following the collapse of agriculture caused by President Mugabe’s violent seizures of thousands of white-owned farms since 2000.
Erratic rain has also damaged crops of corn. Harvests could produce just 500,000-tons this year, less than a third of the amount required to feed the nation.
Photographer David Chancellor said: ‘Just after dawn a villager spotted the carcass as he passed on a bicycle.
‘It was in the middle of nowhere, but within 15 minutes hundreds of people had arrived from all directions.
Brutally effective: Nothing goes to waste, with the skin, trunk and ears all removed
Starving: Zimbabweans grapple with each other as they set upon the elephant to get meat
Stripped: After less than two hours, only bones remain. Even these will later be taken
Desperate: A blood-spattered villager and, right, the spot where the bull elephant lay is completely cleared just 24 hours after it was found
‘The women formed a ring around the elephant and the men stood inside, fighting and stabbing each other to get to the meat.’
He added: ‘The meat was taken back to homes. Some was eaten immediately but most was dried on washing lines and stored to eat later.
‘There were celebrations in the surrounding villages for the next two nights.’

THIS REPORT IS A LOAD OF SENSANTIONALIST CRAP! I lived in Zimbabwe when it was still called Rhodesia and the white government of Ian Smith ruled the country. Africans ate elephant meat even then.
the reason for the world’s problem is white people period and we all would think thay would have some sympathy for robbing and raping off the whole earth but I see not and they never will care abou t anyone but themselves the white race is evil and the judgement that’s coming from god will be too much for u all to bare we will have no pity and will not care when it happen’s it is over due the tick’s of this planet will be wiped out soon all the crime’s the white race has committed is obsurd and insane none of you have a heart karma is a bit#$.
Hey that’s not very nice of you to say. What have I done wrong except been born “white”? I have never harmed nor raped anybody. Thank god I’ve attended a multicultural school, so as to see beyond color or ethnicity that we are all of the same essence. Thank god I have a psychologist, anthropologist and paleo-anthropologist mind, to realize differences lies not in “race”, but in culture; and to know that we all come from a same place, and that we all took separate paths a long time ago, but that we remain brothers and sisters, no matter what our socio-cultural environment leads us to believe.
No that’s not nice of you. They were just born “white” and they weren’t born to be someone bad. They were born as an ordinary human, and they weren’t mean or destined to be bad. Everything that you said about only applies to some of the white race, and many other white people turns out to be nice. (But I’m not white, i’m just here to make it fair)
Ima laugh when your kingdom’s fall Timbuktu in Africa proves we are the chosen of god keep it up with all the racism because these storm’s sent from god is judgement on all of you!
Thank god such damn negros not in my country..
India..
I DARE any human being who is standing on your self-righteous mountain to be in a situation with no McDonald’s no Burgerking or Wendy”s for thousands of miles and no grocery store etc….while You’re watching your family and yourself starve to death…..WHAT would YOU do?? Pathetic. Vast majority wouldn’t make it past your 2nd missed meal without melting into your own puddle of fat. But hey, maybe the others could use you as butter for the elephant bones. Spoiled rotten snots. :-?
Oh, and the Africans that always blame Whitey for their own self-imposed backwardness, or depend on Whitey for everything called civilisation, is not pathetic?
What is pathetic is that the Africans themselves did nothing to put up the McDonalds’ and so on.
Yes, why did they not put up their own McDolalds etc? Oh, sorry, now I know. They have not designed the wheel yet and they could not build a mud house more than one story high. Now illtallya, how the fuck do you think they could produce a Menu if they could not read or write?
For decades the ENTIRE continent of Africa has been stripped of it’s natural resources and riches by Europeans. The fact that many natives are starving is testament to this. The agricultural deals and trades made by Europe and the USA have nearly reduced this great continent, the cradle of civilization to rubble.
The writer of this article should be ashamed. I hope they don’t go around claiming to be a real journalist.
I am a little unsure of what was robbed, there is still gold, diamonds and minerals in africa. Africa is blessed with natural resources and will continue to be so, for generation. And no, Arfrica is not the cradle of civilization. That would be Mesopothamia or the Indus
The sub-Saharan Africans remained pre-neolithic age people by choice. It was not the Europeans that kept them backward.
They did not develop a script, wheel, calendar, watch, or anything really. They did much better under Apartheid than in areas without it, i.e. the eastern part of the Congo.
You might want to visit South Africa, and then Burundi, Benin, Congo, Liberia, Zimbabwe … lol…
Deana, how do you “strip” a country if the people that lived there have not even designed the wheel or built a house more than one story high when you arrived there? Your statement is true regarding South Africa, that was taken over by the British when gold and diamonds were discovered here by the whites.
Ohhhhhhhh golly geeeee I wish I could move to Africa and those ugly ass baboons could gang rape me!
to be raped, you’d have to be desirable first. . . not simply be a cunt.
Not true…in South Africa they often rape old ladies, 80 years and older and then kill them.
I do agree with “White Female” calling them baboons. She should really visit S.A. Some “Florence Nightingale” from America, Amy Biehl, also came to S.A. a few years ago to do some Samaritan work here. Today she is six feet under, raped and murdered.
People are starving in Africa and you call these people racist? Wow! I admire that these people make use of something that will just rot to no one favor except the soil.
Katy, Josh, may I suggest you go back to your Ku Klux Klan rallies?
hey nyc comment well do u have msn ?
u sounds like u r a smart person im origin frm zimbabwe but im based in holland
greets frm shaddy
Ignorant as the next, am I “being clear”?
Actually, this is the first positive development
I’ve seen in some time for negros. The elephant dies of
natural causes. The negros (not on welfare) go to
consume the beast to such extent that there is no
waste. All are fed. They are in their indigenous
habitat being themselves without violence against
whites. The story rarely works out this well.
“Without violence against whites”? The white farmers that produced food to the extent that Zimbabwe was an exporter of food, were killed/chased off their farms by blacks. Now they live off the veld, even eating animals that died from whatever disease. Instead of farming on these taken- over farms, they broke off/dismantled everything to be sold. The farm houses are ruines, tractors and implements are gone, and these farms are producing nothing. In South Africa the Zebedela area, thousands of hectares of citrus, were given to blacks. Today not a single orange tree can be found there.
Now you blame someone that call them lazy or stupid? I hate it when uninformed people try to be clever.
I’m appalled! “as some people already know, black people are far from being superior to anyone.” And they call white America racist! And “white farmers are being killed, rapped and even cast away by racist black people.” Look at the pot calling the kettle black! And even worse: “blacks are usually lazy.” And to think they called the “Tea Party” crowd racist! Does no one else see this?
Prejudice is the act of judging someone based on something other than the person him/herself. I grew up in a white town – they even made a movie about my hometown. KKK passed out pamphlets at the local Junior High. But Katy, you’re the prejudiced one! Anyone who can make blankets statements like “black people are far from being superior to anyone” or “blacks are usually lazy” is being prejudiced.
As for being a racist, we all are a little. It is a struggle to not judge people based on race (Asians are hard working, Mexicans have large families, etc) because culture affects the way we live. We should all try not to prejudge based on race, family name, religions, whatever. But sometimes it is necessary and not always bad. Negative statements like Katy’s, though, are bad!
Katy was quoting the article. Didn’t you read the actual article? Why is anyone calling Katy racist. She said she was apalled and QUOTED THE ARTICLE that this discussion was about.
So the brilliant people of Africa developed a script, the wheel, a calendar, the architechture of Europe … – ever thought why they are so backward? Because of stupidity and lazyness, that is why.
Give up your passport and ask for citizenship in a country like Zimbabwe, Liberia, Burundi – any part in sub-Sahara, and then tell us in six months about the industrious nature of the people…lol
I’m guessing you’ve never ventured to Zimbabwe, Liberia or Burundi. Your opinion is therefore worthless.
Oh, so you are of the opinion that you actually have to go somewhere to make an opinion of a country? Where do you live? Have you heard of newspapers, TV, internet and other media? …talking about “worthless opinions” !!!
We learnt it from your forefathers,Katy history is just repeating itself
Katy, if you’re going to try to be insulting can you at least learn to spell? Even if we’re to take a sarcastic view here. On what basis can you argue “blacks are usually lazy” when there would have been much easier things to eat than skinning an entire elephant?
