The Senhuile-Senethanol project poses a grave threat to the food sovereignty of 9000 inhabitants in the affected region, and it is implemented by a very shady corporate structure. http://www.pambazuka.org/en/category/advocacy/90855 ****** /\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\/\/\//\ 5 African Writers' Corner MEETING LEGENDARY EDITOR IRENE STAUNTON Moses Magadza She is a Zimbabwean editor whose books have won the biggest number of international awards for the country.
