Zimbabwe farmworkers killed as cops watch

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Zimbabwe farmworkers killed as cops watch

The African Christian Democratic Party on Sunday claimed that five black farmworkers were murdered by Zimbabwe’s ruling Zanu-PF government militants in full view of police who showed reluctance to stop the attacks on Saturday.

Quoting a relative of one of the “murdered” workers, ACDP spokesperson Jo-Ann Downs said the five were killed in an apparent campaign to intimidate them in the ongoing forced removals of white farmers from their properties.

According to Downs, the owner of the farm watched from his hiding place in horror as the men were murdered while Zimbabwean police did little to stop the murders.

“It is clear that the action of the Zimbabwe police in swooping on its citizens before they can get the word out is being quite successful.

“The Zimbabwean police have been applying an uncharacteristic diligence towards covering their tracks when arresting and brutalising people who have little to do with farm ownership,” she said.

Sapa could, however, not verify the claims as the people Downs had cited as her sources were not available when contacted for comment.

In a separate incident, the ACDP claimed a farmer’s wife was detained by Zimbabwean police after they could not find her husband on Sunday.

The party said the woman, Louis Cochrane, was bundled into a police vehicle and was not allowed to attend to her two children aged eight and three.

“Despite protestations she was not allowed to take them with her. The children are now alone on the farm and have been contacting relatives outside the country by telephone,” Downs said. – Sapa
