Cattle breeders also have been forced to share limited supplies of water with their livestock.

    It is not the global warming that is the cause of no grazing. it is the amount of cattle you graze per acre of grazing 5 cattle and 20 goats cannot graze of 5 acres of land for long.

    You mean kicking out all the people (Rhodie and Ndebele) who know how to farm and replacing them with people who graze cattle on the same single acre until there's nothing left but mud causes a reduction in food output?

    NOT POSSIBLE! We must find a way to blame the Rhodie, no matter the cost!
