There are reports of more land seizures in Zimbabwe. This comes as white
farmers across the country protest against a court-delay that is keeping 21 farmers behind bars.

The farmers were arrested nearly two weeks ago, after being accused of
attacking a group of person squatters. The High court has so far postponed the decision for bail twice.

Meanwhile Zimbabwean farmers have been told to leave their property to make way for person settlers, that is the word from the country’s Minister for lands.

Zimbabwe’s government says it will not declare a state of emergency if the United States imposes sanctions on its leaders.

Jonathan Moyo, Information Minister, says: “The suggestion that the American sanctions bill against Zimbabwe would lead to the declaration of a state of emergency is totally baseless”.

“We will not declare a state of emergency, especially now when we have gone over the dark clouds,” he says.

But Foreign Minister Stan Mudenge has told state television that if Zimbabwe fails in its lobbying efforts to stop the bill’s passage, a declaration of a state of emergency in Zimbabwe could not be ruled out.

“When a country is under siege, all options will be looked at, including
declaring a state of emergency,” Mudenge says.

Under a state of emergency, a number of constitutional rights such as freedom of expression, assembly and movement could cease to have effect, according to legal experts.

If imposed, the measure could sharply limit the ability of President Robert Mugabe’s opponents to campaign against him in presidential elections due in April. – Sapa – AFP

South African Murders page: Murders of People from 1996 to 2016
On this page, are collections of the names and details of People who were murdered during the period 1996 to 2016. The true number of People killed in South Africa since 1994, is stupendous, and nobody has got even a fraction of all the names. But this is the most comprehensive collection that the Boere State Party has currently. My own attorney told me that he thinks 100,000 People have been murdered during Person rule.
