[I have been hunting around through my archives, trying to get stuff from the year 2000 when Mugabe began destroying the farmers. My oldest Internet activity was on a little site called "Issues" which was started by a guy called Conrad Classen and me. We later parted company. Here is the first article I have found in 2 decades, which actually comes off "Issues". Jan]

Another Zim Farmer murdered

Another white Zimbabwean farmer died on Wednesday evening of the 31st of May, 2000.

The incident took place after Tony Oates tried to prevent a break-in by two (2) intruders into his home, during which a gun battle took place.

One of the intruders also died during the attack. The thugs had broken into Mr. Oates’ farm, which is northwest of Harare, and managed to cut the burglar bars in the bedroom where he was sleeping.

Mr. Oates shot at the intruders and managed to killed one of them, but was also shot in return and died. A spokeswoman for the Commercial Farmers’ Union added that it appeared to be a criminal act unconnected with recent white farm invasions.

Mr. Oates’ wife was fortunatly watching television in another part of the house at the time, and so managed to escaped. The break-in took place at around 10PM (GMT + 2h) on the Shelton farm which is located in the Trelawney district.

Mr. Oates is now the fifth white farmer to die since thousands of liberation ‘war veterans’ invaded several hundreds of white-owned farms in February this year, with their excuse being that they where reclaiming land that was stolen during the time of British colonial era.

My thoughts on this incident are that it is related to the lawless situation that has been fostered by Mr. Mugabe, since common criminals and thugs feel it is now safe for them to attack people, since the police will do nothing.

This is just another page in the book which can be written about the total break down of law and order in Zimbabwe.

The fact that this was a White Farmer, should have no bearing, since anybody that opposes the The Rule of Tyranny is a canditate for killing, whether or not they be White, Black, Coloured, Asian or from Mars. The sooner this fact is both realised and recognised by the International Community, the sooner the blood bath can be stopped.

A day of reckoning will be coming, and Mr. Mugabe will have to answer for his Crimes, which include Ethnic Cleansing (As with the Serb’s), Murder, theft, rape and other crimes against humanity which are perpetuated by the Marxist Club in Africa on a regular basis.
