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’s government has said it will issue eviction notices to former white commercial farmers and new black farmers who are occupying land without permission.
“We are aware that there are around the country, former farm owners and land occupiers who are in occupation of gazetted land without authority of the Acquiring Authority”, Lands Minister Didymusa Mutasa said Saturday.
“My ministry will issue out notices to vacate these and expect compliance in terms of the law, failure of which will result in prosecution”, he added.
“I want to warn former owners or land occupiers that the time allowed to them to continue occupying living quarters is not a warrant to allow them to vandalise properties and infrastructural developments or remove items.”
However, the government will be issuing offer letters to those former farm owners “who are genuine farmers who desire to continue farming in this country”, Mutasa said.
According to the Gazetted Land Act which came into effect on December 20, former owners or occupiers still residing at gazetted land shall cease to occupy or use the land 45 days after the law came into effect, unless authorised to do so through an official letter or lease.
Occupation of living quarters is permitted up to 90 days.
In October, the Commercial Farmers Union said the government had thus far paid out nearly 842 billion Zimbabwe dollars (3.3 million US dollars based on the exchange rate before devaluation) in compensation to dispossessed farmers but most of its members had rejected the offers as too low.
At least 500 white farmers remain in Zimbabwe following controversial land reforms which saw President Robert Mugabe’s government seizing at least 4,000 farms for redistribution to landless blacks.
The land reforms have been blamed for food shortages in what was once southern Africa’s breadbasket, with critics saying the majority of those who have benefitted from the land reforms lacked the means and skills to farm.
