Mugabe chases Blacks off former White-owned farms

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 Mugabe rampage is now extending beyond the cities. The scale of this is becoming unbelievable. So far, some groups say, 1 million people have been made homeless in a matter of weeks! Eddie Cross of the MDC was estimating that he thinks it might ultimately affect 2 million Black people.

Do you know, although the US Govt has condemned this, the S.African Government has not said one word. Not one word of protest. Apart from the US Government, nobody has said anything. It is disgusting. Jan]

Police in central Zimbabwe have begun evicting people who settled on former white-owned farms without government permission as part of a countrywide “clean-up” campaign, the Daily Mirror reported on Friday.

Police spokesperson Whisper Bondayi told the privately-run newspaper that the controversial Operation Restore Order, which was launched last month and has made tens of thousands of people homeless, had now spread to farms in the citrus-growing Mazowe district.

“We are in Mazowe where we are removing all illegal settlers at the farms there. I don”t have the actual names of the farms that would be visited but all those who do not have offer letters would be evicted,” he said.

Hundreds of white farmers were evicted at the height of the controversial land reform programme when their farms were taken over by militant war veterans. But there was conflict in some areas when other new black farmers arrived, saying they had official permission to take over the farms.

Meanwhile the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) claimed that some war veterans — traditionally strong supporters of President Robert Mugabe — had turned to the party for help after their city shacks and homes were demolished in Operation Restore Order, the Financial Gazette reported.

“I have had a number of them [war veterans] along with other people appealing for assistance after their premises and homes were demolished,” Nelson Chamisa, the MP for the low-income Harare suburb of Kuwadzana, told the paper.

“I have had to cater for sheep without a shepherd,” Chamisa said.

Some rights groups say Operation Restore Order, which until now has affected mainly urban areas, may have made up to one million people homeless. It has been condemned by the United Nations, the European Union and several Western countries. – Sapa-DPA
