Inspired by the Bob Marley song, 'Dem Bellies Full'. Zimbabweans are hungry. Food prices have risen sharply and in many areas there are food shortages which are exploited by the government for political purposes. Rich businessmen and top politicians have full bellies, so they don't hear the cries of the ordinary people.
