Zimbabwe farm arson

Please be patient while the player loads...

The homes of Zimbabwean farmers, Mike and Angela Campbell, their daughter and son-in-law, Laura and Ben Freeth, were burned on Wednesday and Sunday. Mount Carmel is in Chegutu about 100 kilometres South of Harare. The farm has been a target of repeated intimidation, harassment and even violent beatings. This in spite of the family’s successful appeal to the SADC Tribunal to keep their farm after Zimbabwe courts failed to rule in their favour.

IT MAKES THE HEART SORE!
The callousness, and unneccessary destruction of a fellow citizens property and livilihood is surely the lowest form of service another human can direct towards a progressive human being!
Are these acts and policies being directed by humans, or are they actually from a deviant tangent off the species of man?

So very sad. The workers on the farm have now lost their jobs. The Farmer should sue Robert Mugabe. All his luxuries and houses can be sold to pay the farmer for his loss. The AU and SADC should remove the Senile Mugabe.
