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

Zim Govt threatens to seize British Property
HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Zimbabwe’s government has threatened to seize British property in retaliation for British efforts to freeze the ruling party’s assets abroad, state media reported Friday. Meanwhile, the government of President Robert Mugabe has set an Oct. 31 deadline for media
organizations to obtain licenses under strict new rules governing the
press, the privately owned Independent newspaper reported. The government
has said all journalists in Zimbabwe must pay for expensive state
licenses. Critics call the move a threat to press freedom. Twenty four
independent journalists have been charged with publishing false reports
under a media bill that became law in March. On Wednesday, the British
government said it had frozen $117,511 in assets belonging to Mugabe’s
party under sanctions imposed by the European Union against the Zimbabwean
leader and his top aides. In an interview in the state-run Herald
newspaper, Information Minister Jonathan Moyo said British property here
could fall to a similar fate. “Somebody should remind them there are real
British assets in Zimbabwe, including British donations to
non-governmental organizations and other groups that are bent on causing
havoc for the ordinary people,” he was quoted as saying. Many of those
organizations are working to alleviate the nation’s food crisis, which
threatens about 6 million people, but the government accuses them of
channeling funds illegally to the opposition. Ruling party officials
denied the party had any assets in Britain anyway. “They should not use
phantom assets to dare us to take real action here,” Moyo was quoted as
saying. Zimbabwe and Britain, the former colonial ruler, have been in
conflict since Mugabe began his plans two years ago to seize white-owned
farmland. Britain has also protested politically motivated attacks against
the opposition and a breakdown of law and order across the country.
Despite the tensions, Britain has given tens of millions of dollars for
famine relief. The British charity Oxfam announced plans on Friday to
supply 11,000 tons of food a month.
