From the Citizen :
Zim's needy Whites DENIED Help !!

Johannesburg - Political correctness has reached the stage in Zimbabwe where white elderly people and the needy are not receiving any assistance at all .

"Donations distributed by the United Nations (UN) World Food Programme are apparently being withheld  from these people" , said Dr. Danie Langner , executive of the Solidarity Helping Hand Fund .

"That means , this group of people is entirely dependent on the Zimbabwe Pension Support Fund , which we  are supporting .

Information received from Zimbabwe by the fund indicates colour - not need - is being used as a measure to decide who  should receive food and other aid .

"Surely colour should not enter the equation when it comes to aiding the many who need it in Zimbabwe " ,  Langner said .
