I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Mugabe says White South Africans fear land reform Zim-style
This story appeared on the Daily Mail & Guardian today. Zimbabwe’s
arch-liar, Professor Jonathan Moyo denied a story in a British newspaper
which said that Mugabe aims to drive all the whites out of the country.
Anything Moyo says should, as a matter of course be taken with a pinch of
salt. He is a bold and blatant liar. This story also mentions that Mugabe
says white South Africans fear a similar occurrence in South Africa.
THE Zimbabwe government on Sunday said a story in the British Sunday
Telegraph alleging that President Robert Mugabe had hatched a plan to expel
white farmers from the country before next year’s presidential polls amounted
to “idiocy”.
Information Minister Jonathan Moyo said he preferred not to comment on such
“idiocy” because doing so would give it “a semblance of rationality”.
“It is out of the realm of rationality,” he said when asked about the
report.
“It’s the same thing as the ghost story,” Moyo said in reference to another
British paper, the Sunday Times, which reported two weeks ago that Mugabe was
being haunted by the ghost of a liberation war military commander.
The Sunday Telegraph said a secret document from Mugabe’s Zanu-PF party to
pro-government war veterans outlined the political goals of a campaign being
waged against white farmers.
Entitled “Operation Give up and Leave”, the British broadsheet said the
document read: “The operation should be thoroughly planned so that farmers
are systematically harassed and mentally tortured and their farms
destabilised until they give in and give up.”
Mugabe has embarked on land reforms aimed at redressing colonial inequities
which left 70% of prime agricultural land in the hands of relatively few
white farmers.
In the meantime, Mugabe said he would not let up on land reforms because of
concern it is hurting South Africa.
In an interview earlier this month with the Nigerian newspaper The Guardian,
but only published in full on Sunday, Mugabe said the white minority in South
Africa was fearful of his campaign.
“In South Africa… the whites there are afraid of what might happen here, if
we succeed in empowering our people. If we succeed here they fear that the
same might happen in South Africa,” he said.
South Africa’s President Thabo Mbeki is reported to have led a
behind-the-scenes campaign to persuade his Zimbabwean counterpart to end the
violence, but this has been rejected.
“We are not going to stand by merely because what we do here affects South
Africa. We have our own interests, the interests of our people to serve,”
Mugabe said.
“Potentially a conflict situation exists in South Africa. We didn’t cry when
apartheid affected us here in a big way. We said ‘fight justly’,” he added. –
