We
are told of the police brutality in Zimbabwe,
there is killing by youths and there is training of militias.
Five
white commercial farmers met two war veterans that fought
in the second Chimurenga.
They
met them outside a post office and they started throwing words
at each other. This was during the fast tract resettlement
program in 2001.
The
argument continued until it was fist fighting. The commercial
farmers thoroughly beat the war veterans.
The
war veterans left and went and got their own and went to each
of the white farms.
Three
of the whites did not go back to their farms because they
knew what they had done. The other two were found and both
were beaten until they died.
At
the same time there were 61 whites who had died on farms in
South Africa
and nobody said a thing.
In
South Africa
it was criminal activity. The two whites in Zimbabwe
for them it was ‘Mugabe’s brutality’. |
