If there is any famine, it will be thanks to western interference aka obstruction.

Luckily for SA, in the reality of a declining west, they will probably get Chinese assistance instead of being isolated.

Incorrect, the historical record of illegal western blockades leading to famines is very clear.

The deadliest famine in human history, the Great Chinese Famine, was caused by Communist policies.

Intellectually dishonest to ignore the ~10 year blockade carried out by western countries.

No "blockade" caused the Great Chinese Famine, except that carried out by the Communist government itself (starving the people of the country to death).
