haven't been here in so long ... mostly at http://dyke.weebly.com now
This letter was written Wednesday 9th April 2008 by farmers under siege in Zimbabwe .
Dear Family and Friends,
Well
never thought I would have to do this email do not know if it may be
my
last from our
farm "Chidza".
At 3.30pm today a lorry load of so called
Mugabe brain washed "war-vets" arrived at our gate to take over our land,
equipment and pedigree cattle. This crazy action is occurring in a country where
there is v little food
being produced ! It is now 6
pm
and they have been singing their war songs at our gate
for
three hours,
the atmosphere is violent and more and more of them
have
arrived. We managed to get our daughter Alison and her young
son "Little John" into town and for now it is just John and myself,
plus our dogs remaining in the house on the farm. They have said that our labour
will not work tomorrow . They have demanded that John must kill them a
sheep, which John has flatly refused to do, so no doubt they will simply kill
one for
themselves. None of our paid labour will even attmpt to come to
work tomorrow either! Graham Richards who lives south of us is also under
siege at the same time as us, so this siege of the last remaining whites
is an orchestrated plan. The Goddards and Deidricks are in the same boat.
They have already taken over Pa-Nyanda Guest Lodge, and Graham and his wife
Callie are now in town. Alison is at John sisters in Masvingo town and her
husband Carl is expected back from Bulawayo tonight.
Cell Phone Nos. 011-215275 ; 023-258810
Please pass this email on to as many folk as you would like to , this illegal action must become "known" thru out the world .
If you know of anyone in the Media, please ensure that they become aware /are alerted to this evil tyrant's actions to keep power at all costs. We have to let the world know what is happening. Well done to Zesa. As they load shedded us and I phoned my friend in the Zesa Faults and he phoned Harare and they have switched us back on. So for now please keep all of us in your prayers and we will send a follow up tomorrow if we are able.
Our love to you all.
John and Joy from Chidza.
