		Edward Mkhosi, a former provincial land-use planner with the Agricultural Rural Development Authority in Matabeleland South, told IRIN that if all the derelict irrigation schemes were revived, and existing water resources put to maximum productive use, the province could feed itself.
		Following a devastating drought in 1991/92 the government was able to build six major dams in the province, with the assistance of donor funding between 1995 and 1998, to ensure water and food security.
		However, Mkhosi noted that some of the bigger dams, such as the Mtshabezi and the Zhovhe, near the town of Beitbridge on the border with South Africa, were not being used at all.

		While literature on labour migration from Zimbabwe to South Africa exists (van Onselen, 1976, Amanor-Wilks and Moyo, 1996), no study has yet been carried out to assess the impact of remittances sent by labour migrants on their communities of origin and this study sought ti fill that void in research and literature.

		He said double agent Philip Conjwayo was wrong to blame South Africa for the Gukurahundi, because 5 Brigade was deployed into Matabeleland North in January 1983, long before Super ZAPU.
		He admitted that during1984, 5 Brigade, ZAPU dissidents and Super ZAPU were all on the ground in Matabeleland South, fighting each other, so it was quite confusing, all round.

		The cost of the expenditure basket has substantially risen as a result of the increase in the price of certain basic commodities; for example, the price of cooking oil has increased 355 percent since May 2001 and the price of maize grain has increased by 220 percent (these goods are not readily available).
		As a result, most of the grain crops are already a complete loss due to the drought experienced in January and February in the southern and central districts of the country.
		The dry spell has worsened the food security situation in the country as normally farmers would be consuming green maize, pumpkins and groundnuts from their fields, but this option is not available this season.
