Mugabe promises government aid

    JOHANNESBURG

    Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe on Monday pledged government assistance to victims of last week's storms as he toured the affected areas, the official 'Herald' newspaper reported.

    "You must believe in your government that it is there to help you. We will help all the affected people, as we have always done in the past, without looking at their race or political affiliation," Mugabe announced.

    "There is now need to assess the quantities of grain being held in the Grain Marketing Board silos as most crops were washed away," he added.
