I feel so sorry and outraged. Not only have the arsonists destroyed the home of the farmers but they've also destroyed the livelihood of the farm workers. What brutish ignorance and senseless destruction. Mugabe and his cronies are to blame. They must be stopped. I feel for the family and the farm workers.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('274381','Anja Shelton'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('274381','Anja Shelton','I\'ve seen the special on the Freeth Family last night on German TV.

I am especially saddened by the lack of reponse from the Prime Minister to Ben Freeth's letters. He is obviously not unaware of what is happening: therefore, can one assume that he is unconcerned? I had great hopes for this man, but am becoming quite disillusioned by him.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('274344','Emily'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('274344','Emily','Having lived for many happy years in Zimbabwe I am constantly appalled by what is happening in this beautiful country.

On the other hand, a young sapling simply bends in the face of the storm, letting the wild winds pass overhead. When the storm abates, the sapling springs back into position, filled with energy and ready to grow rapidly.

After the storm, some of the acorn seeds that were shaken to the ground take root, and nurtured by the compost from the old oak leaves, grow into a healthy new forest.

The cycle of life and death, of young and old, and the story of our people.
