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.

The owners of Kondozi, a thriving Zimbabwean farm seized violently by the government recently, are preparing to move their highly profitable horticultural farming business to Mozambique and Zambia. This means that Mozambique and Zambia will now reap the economic benefits of the soon-to-be liquidated Zimbabwean company, one of the largest horticultural farms in Africa, with an annual turnover of $15m. The company supplies products to SA and Europe. Edwin Moyo, majority shareholder in the company that ran Kondozi horticultural farm, said last week that the Mozambican government had given them 800ha of land to operate its business in Manica Province. “In Zambia we have bought 2000ha in Gwembe Valley. The project is equipped with state-of-the-art irrigation equipment, including 20 centre pivots.” Moyo said his company, which he runs jointly with former white commercial farmers, had received 30m from donor agencies to fund the new operations. SA’s Industrial Development Corporation, Netherlands-based Psom, UK-based Tescos and Barclays Bank International had agreed to provide extra funds.
Kondozi farm was raided on Good Friday by government supporters, backed by heavily armed army and military officers. The military-style offensive resulted in farm workers being assaulted and violently thrown out. About 5000 workers and their families were left homeless. The farm was invaded on Christmas Day last year by a group led by Zimbabwean Agriculture Minister Joseph Made. During the Easter holidays soldiers and police also invaded opposition Movement for Democratic Change MP Roy Bennett’s Charleswood estate. Both the Kondozi farm and Charleswood are located in the eastern Manicaland province. The army also evicted tourists and took over a lodge owned by foreign investors. The Zimbabwean government claimed that Kondozi was occupied by the state-owned Agricultural and Rural Development Authority, but evicted farm owners alleged that top politicians were behind the illegal raid. Information Minister Jonathan Moyo vowed at the time that the 224ha Kondozi land would be seized “come rain, come sunshine”. Edwin Moyo said: “We will not waste anymore time on Kondozi in Odzi, Manicaland. I have been rendered a second-class citizen in my country of origin so we will take our business elsewhere.” He said his company had stopped construction of a pack house in Mutare and in the process Zimbabwe lost a Z7,6bn investment and job opportunities. The packhouse would have housed horticulture and fresh produce handling facilities before shipment to export markets. “It will soon be built in Manica, Mozambique, instead and it will be used as the hub of all our export activities,” said Moyo.
