Zim targets farmer’s wife
A farmer’s wife is facing prosecution in Zimbabwe for staying on her own property.Charles Locker was cleared of the same charges so the attention has shifted to his wife.
It is not often that white farmer’s wives make the news in Zimbabwe but reports said the Attorney General’s office wants to charge Ellen Lock for staying on her husband’s farm.
Her husband said he had court orders allowing him to stay on Karori Farm, in eastern Zimbabwe.
He also has letters backing him up from the country’s two vice presidents but an army brigadier insists the farm is his and he too appears to have support in high places.
Farming officials said the accusations were unbelievable.
They said even in a murder case you could not just charge the wife of a suspect with the crime if you could not make the charges stick against her husband. (iAfrica.com – 2 July)

Such a sad thought that such a successful and rich, pride nation is falling into such evil and thoughtless practices. I can only hope and pray that a strong leader comes forth and takes charge and works with our people to Rebuild Zimbabwe.

What the hell has happened to Zimbabwe???? Lord have mercy on this country i once called home and motherland of all Africa….
To the African Nation – can you not see what your leaders have done. They have corrupted your once beautiful country, they have raped you of the bare necessities in life, they have stolen your bread and milk, they have beaten your soul and spirit, and starved you of water to drink….
Wake up already why dont you!!!! I hate to admit it – but it would seem Zimbabwe would need an absolute miracle to gain control and to bring a safetynet back to its pridelands….
Just like the Disneys Lion King’s villian Scar – you bare the scar of desolution and absolute disgrace to one nation….Mufasa, the bearer of good news and peace – where are you and when will you stake your claim to the country rightfully governed by you…. whoever you are Mufasa – white, black, asian, indian….ZIMBABWE NEEDS YOU…!
To the commonwealth…where were you when one man ruled dictatorship? Presidents of the world, where were you when we were all watching a country fall apart and beg for mercy…
The corruption of all government parties, policemen, judges, enforcements, armies….you are all to blame for the downfall of Zimbabwe and all its people – all races… Due to your greed – you will continue to suffer…
Zimbabwe can turn around….but its people will need to stand up to the vile and atrocities that its current leader today has enforced on them…SO STAND UP AND DONT ACCEPT WHAT YOU’VE BEEN GIVEN….
ZIMBABWEAN PEOPLE – YOU DESERVE SO MUCH MORE..
