Mining Zimbabwe’s heritage.

beautiful place. To be at one with nature again? All the beautiful bird species. All the beautiful trees. All the beautiful fauna. Take a good hold on your seat because very soon it will no longer be with us. What a waste.You may think I’m playing? I’m not. Surely there has to be put in place a logical use of a countries wealth, both mineral and natural? Don’t make me laugh, the world as we knew it no longer exists? The new Gods are now greed and corruption. It’s all so sad and completely uncalled for, but when Western Nations backed down and sold out a perfectly beautiful country and peoples. Then this is what you get. Brother you asked for it.

Such is the great lure of Chrome and other minerals, that here is what is happening to these areas in Zimbabwe. It is known as strip mining, where they just go in and bulldoze anything in sight, irrespective of any other value it has. They then proceed to either dig it with machines or use indigenous labour with pick axes.
It will be an ecological and environmental disaster of note. No trees or vegetation to hold the soil together. No fauna, no birds, no small wild animals, nothing but this.
Then one day it will rain. The storms here can be fierce and sudden, often with torrential downpours. Then what you have left, is a barren rift of ravines and gulleys and in amongst this nothing will grow again. How sad?
You may not believe it?
More strip mining.
Strip mining.
On and on it goes, mile after mile after mile and there is nothing you can do about it. They pre-empted you and now they are King. China is the second largest economy in the world now and they have unlimited resources and labour. And they are everywhere in this rich Continent and very soon they are going to be the largest economy in the world.
Sadly, I think America has been out smarted at every turn and I see little or no hope of them overturning this without resorting to tactics that will finish all of us. We can’t have that.
Strip mining Zimbabwe.
Chrome and greed.
Greed, where does it end?
I’m not going to go on much longer because I’m so sad and disheartened. That we as people can allow this to happen. Something just has to be wrong somewhere?
Now Mana pools is next, they the Chinese, have found, and say, it is rich in uranium. So exactly the same thing as is pictured here, is going to happen there, and nobody is going to stop it, or even cares. Oddly there is another truth in all this, that minerals have been found in many of these places, including diamonds. Did I say something about thinking years ahead? Perchance then, the overthrow of the farmers and their land had an even more sinister aspect. The farmer is not going to allow this to happen on his land, but, when you are only interested in rape and pillage of a countries resources, then who the hell cares?
I’m almost positive that 99% of people have no idea about this whatsoever? Moreover I’m partial to Americans. Why? Because at heart they are all good people and I know Americans would never allow this to happen. No doubt some might try it, but they would soon be shouted down. I’m also saddened to see America in its current state. Whatever the hell happened to you? The last bastion of the free world sliding into abyss? What this means is you get what you vote for, just as what has happened here. Isn’t about time you all woke up? The reality for the free world is, without a vibrant and free America we are in big trouble. You don’t believe me? Look around you. It’s about time you got your priorities right again and very fast?
God bless America.
“Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be too moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much.”
Alan Paton, author of, ‘Cry the Beloved Country’.

all this knowledge..all these years…. and nothing has been done to stop….WHY?
Lies.. corruption… greed……the results !!!! wow !!!
Good question Ilario and thank you for the visit and comment.
Ilario Menegazzi and next Mana, where will it end, Victoria Falls?
Ilario Menegazzi it is hateful – I had a document sent me where Rio Tinto are "celebrating" the emergence of developing markets like China et el who will needs roads and steel, heavy metals and more buildings to house them and keep them in the "First World" fashion – my God man – the whole planet will be full of box housing and bubble cars
and every blade of grass transformed into foo, fuel or ripped out to make way for concrete
Agree Kim Lepper, sadly.

Very very sad Chinese everywhere have to stop them they are also going to open up a mine in the Selous Game reserve in Tanzania! They will only stop when Africa is gone.
It really is so sad, but I blame Western leaders who sold much of Africa out to them.
They need to stay away! Seriously – it's time soon guys!!
Time for what Glen?
Time to make it not work by whatever means.
Agree.

Wherever there is something to do with China it is Kissinger and his dearest buddies that got it going and keep it that way. The world's greed and loyalties have shifted to the Red Dragon and GIVEN AWAY everything for some certain reasons….. Monstrous and tragic. If China were committed to Zim for the long run they wouldn't rape and pillage the land, nor would they destroy it for the generations to come. They're coming, taking what they want and they will leave the wreckage. Wonder what kind of monster Kissinger REALLY is that he got all this in motion….
God alone knows Margaret, and so tragically sad?
I was hoping to see much greater interest in this piece, for the reason that China is all over in almost every country at this point, very much so in South America and also a growing presence in North America. While the 'colonial powers' have done their damage too, they were at least open somewhat to preserving heritage sites from complete destruction, whereas China seems to have no such interest in preservation of any kind. What's happening in Zim will soon start happening elsewhere, and we need the time and commitment to re-evaluate China's relationship with everyone and ways to work out truly important issues.
Couldn't agree with you more but people only see money these days and can see no further, all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.
Margaret Schaut I couldn't agree more – the ennui of people is alarming…if you have not already done so please consider joining https://www.facebook.com/notifications#!/SaveMana and keeping abreast of developments, sharing ideas, and getting the message out!
Why don't you just friend her on Facebook Kim Lepper, she doesn't bite you know.
Kissenger has long ago died…..he might have sold out the country back then BUT it was and is in your and it is in your hands to stop them!! Sadly enought though with their billions in number they have overtaken many, many countries both in Africa and in Europe the few to say!!! They are BILLIONS and collectively all of us are less in numbers….do you seriously think that they will be prevented from doing what they want!! I predict that in the next 20 years
[sorry]……the whole world will have been overrun by them both in physical form and financially……>>>>>>I DON'T THINK THERE IS OR WILL BE VERY MUCH ABLITY TO DO ANYTHING>>>>>>>for he who has the money and power pays the piper and the mice just follow dancing to the Tune!!

Spook, no, I did not know about this and your article if fantastic! I am going to send this on to my friends and husband. Thank you for sharing this information and for your kind words of America.
You're welcome Jeanie, and thank you for your visit and comment.
HI JEANIE,I MEAN NO OFFENCE TO THE MILLIONS OF DECENT AMERICANS IN YOUR COUNTRY BUT YOU NEED AS A SO CALLED GOD FEARING PEOPLE TO PERCEIVE HOW YOUR CORPORATE GREED ,AVARICIOUS AND CORRUPT BANKERS AND WARMONGERING POLITICIANS ARE SEEN BY MUCH OF THE WORLD OUTSIDE OF AMERICA.YOU AS A PEOPLE ARE STILL ONE OF THE MAJOR CUSTODIANS OF THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF THIS PLANET AND YET IN YOUR GREED ARE EATING UP AND WASTING PRECIOUS RESOURCES AS IF ONLY AMERICANS EXIST.YOU AT PRESENT HAVE OVER 1000 US DEFENCE BASES WORLDWIDE AND THINK THIS IS JUST TO PROTECT YOU AGAINST A WORLD TERRORIST THREAT.WHILE PARTIALLY TRUE, TO MANY,IT IS SEEN AS MORE OF TRYING TO SUSTAIN YOUR WORLD SUPERIORITY WHILE YOUR CORPORATES AND BANKERS TRY AND EAT UP THE WORLD.YOU AS A PEOPLE ARE AS GUILTY AS THE PEOPLE YOU VOTE INTO POWER EVEN THOUGH YOUR VOTE WAS ONLY TO BETTER YOUR HOME COUNTRY LIVING CIRCUMSTANCES.
GIVE US BACK THE NATION WE USED TO ADMIRE THAT TRUSTS IN GOD AND NOT IN THE PRINTED BUCK THAT HAS NO BACKUP.
Mr Beau Wrankmore totaly agree BUT also disagree with you on the aspect that America is the major custodian of this planet!!! On whose Authority and when and <who died and ordained them as chiefs of this plane???>…………………..We are each responsible for our own countries and of course in goodwill we see to being supportive to other countries!!!America and Americans should fend for their country and we should fend for our countries!! Only when America is asked then shoud it intervene…….in addition America has always been greedy and has only it's own country's interests at heart…they couldn't give a hoot for anyone else other than themselves!!!
Lovely to see you here Argyro and thanks for the comments too.
Beau, you are asking no more than many of us wish for our country. The choices we have to vote for leave so much to be desired. I, too, would love to live in the country I grew up in and it breaks my heart to see what has been done to it by greed. And that is all it is…greed…that and the lack of American's belief in the good Lord. So many have walked away from the Bible's teachings and without those rules to live by, what you see is what happens. To be blessed, we must first Bless the Lord and be thankful. American's have become very foolish people who value what money can buy far more than what the Lord can afford them. There are still some of us who hold onto the old values, have taught our children these values and continue to strive to place these values into the hearts of our grandchildren…but we are losing ground and it saddens me greatly.
Argyro, it bothers me to hear you say that. America has stepped in time and time again to aid other countries during disasters with no hope of recooping what it took to do it! The country today is changing in many ways that I do not like. However, I have lived here for over 60 years, having been born in 1950, and I know how many have not only cared about the concerns of other countries but who have taken their time, money and sometimes their lives, to try to make changes and help. Don't lump us into one little box…we are not as one in all things.
It's just that not every one sees America as Americans do Jeanie Sims Hunt and a lot of bad feelings have been left.
I know, Spook…I sometimes wonder why their is so much disdain between America and other countries. So many in the past worked so hard to bring America to where it once was…and I watch men today tearing down those accomplishments as hard and as fast as they possibly can for their own gain. I can understand the feelings of others of late but it wasn't always this way. I remember how much I loved the Greeks when I lived there in the early 70s and made so many friends of them. It was so hard to leave when the time came. I found them to be the same as me with the same needs, desires and love for their families and country. If only everyone could see what I saw as a young woman.
Agree, I love America despite the fact that they sold out my country. It always boils down to the same thing which is, you get what you vote for so better be careful who you do.
Well, I didn't get what I voted for last time so I suppose we shall see what happens this time. Although, I have little faith in the lot of them!
I have none whatsoever except Ron Paul and he's too old.
In reply to Jeannie Sims Hunt I do apologise if I did or do sound so fanatical in some way however, I would like to point out to you that America has not stepped in to aid countries due to natural disasters such as famine or earthquakes, it has stepped in to intervene in other countries internal political affairs!! American people as such, the plain everyday people have of course suffered great losses in lives and finacially but most of all in young American lives something which cannot be put right or made right as can be done to the economy of your country!!! I really do love American people and their culture (I avidly watch American movies and follow documentaries with the beauties of your country) it's not the simple every day people that we have a problem with BUT we do have a problem of this continuous intervening of THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS in other peoples affairs. As you so rightly say you are God Fearing people and of course most of you do raise your children in this prism, it is though very sadening to see the majority of plain every day Americans being sooooo naive and so trusting in what your governments tell you!! It's heart wrenching to witness hundreds of young Americans getting off gigantic carrier ship on their way to some mid-eastern country to fight!! To fight for what <The feuding Governmenst> of the East????? They are not off to defend their own country but to put right what is going wrong in another country <ISN'T THAT A GREAT SHAME> why should a young American man get killed chasing after a Taliban or anyone for that matter, I would completely understand it if he were facing the danger in his own homeland if his homeland were in danger!!! Have you not yet understood that all this so called <<aid>> is carried out because of financial necessities and the power gain game for the resources that each<<aided country>> has to offer (gold, petrol etc)!!! I do appreciate it that you do love Greek people and by saying you lived there, I think you mean Greece! At the moment Greece is facing <it's darkest hour> with this financial crisis and we're being hounded, mocked and ridiculed throughout Europe and the World! We are not a lazy people and neither are we free-riding on other countries backs as is said!! Our Governments surfed and misused the European Aid which was given to us, ordinary everyday Greeks slogged away at work for 12 hours or more sometimes working under very demanding conditions and with no insurance whilst our politicians danced away and squandered what was given to them! We have now woken up and realized that we had been lied to and now as a people we are so very angry cause we too were very naive! However I do not want anyone intervening in our internal affairs or being ordered in what to do!! I would appreciate all useful advice as how to get out of this situation BUT I would not under any circumstances appreciate for example Germans or Americans or French (random example) coming into my country forcing me at gunpoint to do what I have to do! Jeannie I think we are romantics born in another age when the world was a much better place to live in…….we grew up thinking that the cowboys were the GOOD guys and the red indians were the BAD guys!! We both know now that this wasn't the case………we now know that the red indians were a fine race of people so one with nature and so unfortunately they were done away with or put in reserves creating a new kind or lazy, drunken, stoned race of people depending on welfare!! I'm not far behind you in age and of course as you can see from here I tend to speak too much HOPEFULLY It's not stupidities and HOPEFULLY I'm exercising my right in the freedom of speech with another fellow human being!! Unfortunately throughout the world our politicians are taking ADVANTAGE of us for the sole purpose OF BEING IN POWER AND GAINING ALL THE MORE MONEY!
In all things, I must agree with you, Argyro. And, yes, I lived in Greece from May 1971 until February 1973, before your time. I was married there to a young man in the Air Force who grew up in South Carolina, USA, as I did. One of my best friends was Sophia Margetes, my landlady. We had a wonderful time as she taught me about her country in broken English…however, somehow we always understood each other!
It was a wonderful place to begin life away from my parents at 20 years old. The Greek people are loving, good people and certainly don't deserve what they are experiencing now. Yes, we have been too trusting and have fallen to the prey of our government. I have no answers…I wish I did…other than prayer and faith that the good Lord walks with me…and with you, for you have your whole life ahead of you.
Beautifully said Jeanie Sims Hunt.

A very "moving" piece. Strip mining – strips the heart and soul. The Chinese are devoid of both.

To see the places I remember so dearly as portrayed in your article being utterly destroyed is sad – too sad to describe. It brings out more resentment at the greed of the Chinese and other stakeholders! I wasn't aware of the extent – so thanks very much for penning it Spook – one where your own sadness is evident.

Well Mugabe and his cronies need to keep their bank accounts topped up and the people of Zimbabwe can`t complain, this is what they keep voting for.

IT'S SUCH A GREAT SHAME AND SO DEPRESSING TO SEE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CONTINENT ON THIS PALNET BEING TORN UP! UNFORTUNATE CAUSE WHAT IS DESTROYED IN NATURE CANNOT EVER BE PUT BACK OR RECREATED THE WAY IT WAS.
Agree Argyro.

What hope that China will develop a conscience with Zimbabwe when they have raped and poisoned their own country. We are meant to be custodians of this earth for the benefit of our fellow travellers both human and non-human, not avaricious, self-enhancing parasites. I really hope that we can stop this destruction before there is nothing and nowhere of beauty for our children and their children's children to experience. I agree that China aren't the only plunderers they are merely the latest ones with even less conscience than we have seen before.
Well said Kanj and thank you for the visit and comment.

What will be left for future generations? The hunters and gatherers did not rape and pillage the earth compared to what is being done now. God help the earth!

I really hope that we can stop this destruction before there is nothing and nowhere of beauty for our children and their children’s children to experience. I agree that China aren’t the only plunderers they are merely the latest ones with even less conscience than we have seen before.
Well said Kanj and thank you for the visit and comment.
Here’s some good news though……there IS hope! http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/09/12/zambia-mining-idUSL5E8KCG3K20120912
What will be left for future generations? The hunters and gatherers did not rape and pillage the earth compared to what is being done now. God help the earth!
Good point and delighted with your visit and comment Avril.
