Animals starve as farm remains under siege

Published: January 17, 2010

Rusape (ZimEye) – Animals at the farm of Rusape farmer Koos Smit have been left to starve as the invaders cut water supplies and electricity to the farm, while blocking toilets by stuffing bags in them for three days, it has been revealed.

‘Cattle in the farm has been confined for a third day with no water or food. The invaders have cut water supplies by physical damaging pipes and reservoirs’

‘The Koos Smit family has sleepless nights, no water and toilets drains have been stuffed with bags so they can’t flash. They cut the elecricity to the farm’, said the witness at the farm.

President Robert Mugabe’s close allies, Didymus Mutasa and Ignatius Chombo have ordered the seizure of all farms belonging to white farmers.

A document signed by Mutasa (Minister of Presidential Affairs) and Chombo (Local Government Minister) authorizes the forced grabbing of land from all white owned farms that have beneficiaries who have not taken up their land.

Sources also revealed that a man coded by the name “Vasgo” who led the terrorism on white farmers in Rusape early this week is government minister Ignatius Chombo.

“The documents were shown to a farmer that authorizes the forced removal of all white farmers ,” disclosed the source.

“This paperwork apparently comes from Mutasa, and Chombo was named this Vasgo character. I suspect that it is because he is encountering resistance from local people on the ground who don’t want this Jambanjas to happen,”

Another Zanu-PF official Temba Mliswa was also named as the brains behind the attack on white farmers in Rusape.

On Tuesday, Vasgo led vicious attacks on farmers – Kooz Smit, Tizzy Landos and Pete Landos.

Police in Rusape are reportedly doing little to protect the farmers from Zanu-PF attacks.

Farm invasions continue unabated in Zimbabwe regardless of a formation of a coalition government that promised to deal with the issues in a productive manner. (ZimEye, Zimbabwe)

GRABING our land its not a problem guys, but don’t starve the animals,just grab the land with everything in it,if these whites refuse, maximum effort is needed, beat thenm thoruoghly and force them out out of the farm. don’t critisize its my own good & special opinion

Stupid and derelict brain, ‘Anonymous’, I know who you are -

Everyone wants the land an that is understandable but the same way you treat another human being will bring you to book before Unkosi – Mwari.

Why not take the farms in a dignified way? Pay the farmer his compensation, and give him good time notice?

God will judge people like you, and Zimbabwe shall get rid of your clique of Mapenzi, xa!
