Attention Sir/Madam.
How are you.
With due respect, trust and humanity, I and my family send to you this letter seeking for your help and assistance although we have not meet each other before but we hope that this letter will meet you and your family in good condition of health.
This is not intended to cause you any embarrassment in whatever form, rather compel to contact your esteemed self, following knowledge of your high repute and trustworthiness, is borne out of this difficult situation that my family has been engulfed in since my beloved husband and bread winner of our family was forced to relinquish his position in the state.
My name is Mrs. Thandy Olwethu the wife of late Mr. Fedrick sbu Olwethu of Norton Midlands province of Harare Zimbabwe. I am written this letter on behalf of my family and me my son Mark & my daughter Magada Olwethu The current war crisis against the farmers going on in my country Zimbabwe from the support of self styled President Robert Gabriel Mugabe,in his envy and greediness to claim all the farms lands for his party members and his followers.
My late husband cattle ranch farm is one of the best grassland cattle farm in our country and because he did not support Robert Gabriel Mugabe's ideas of killing the farmers and collecting their farms lands from them. The President Robert Gabriel Mugabe orders his supporters to invaded my husbands grassland cattle ranch farm in Norton Midlands Province of Zimbabwe and burnt everything in the farm and made away with a lot of items on my husband's farm after the axed him (my husband) to death in the farm. Since then, they have been terrorizing us trying to kill us but we managed to escape to a neighboring country, South Africa as a political asylum seeker (refugee).
Upon this act of greediness Mr. president have this to say "we are no longer going to ask for the land, but we are take it without any negotiation or compassion”. He had been an outspoken critic of President Robert Mugabe's ruling party. My husband has described Robert Mugabe self-styled act to farmers as an unjustified war against land ownership by farmers. The decision to amend the draft Constitution to allow the government to seize privately owned commercial farms without compensation and this current war crisis against the farmers going on in my country Zimbabwe from the support of self styled and greedy President Robert Gabriel Mugabe in his envy and greediness to claim all the farms lands for himself and members of his party members and followers is ill conceived and fraught with danger.
Nobody in his right mind questions the need for land reform to correct the imbalances of the colonial past. Most of the commercial farmers in Zimbabwe are not foreigners but fellow Zimbabweans; the President himself confirmed this at independence when he enunciated his policy of reconciliation. If there is any commercial farmers who inherited their land from colonial forebears, they are small minority. Most of the commercial farmers including my late husband and other blacks bought their farmlands with they re own hard-earned cash and toiled to develop them. Why should the President and members of the ruling party regard us son and daughters of the soil as enemies to be punished?
Corruption fomented by Mugabe's appointees is blatant. (Because of a law passed by the party he controls, Mugabe himself is immune from prosecution.) The country's once-thriving economy is now in deep distress. Banks have failed. Farmland that once fed the native population and produced major exports lies fallow. The country's electrical and communication systems have fallen into disrepair and are now unreliable. The prices of basic commodities have risen 30 percent to 90 percent annually between 1991 and 1997. Inflation is so bad, AIDS has infected more than 58 percent our population, and there is only one public ambulance in the city of Harare, whose population exceeds 2 million. Mugabe's "land reform," a program to confiscate land from farmers and to his family and party members resulted in massive killings of farmers by Mugabe's party members and members of his cabinets.
November 3,Zimbabwe's Supreme Court of Justice declared the land invasions illegal, but the President Mugabe with his cabinets has ignored orders to remove the occupiers from the land. The Zanu-pf party secretary for legal affairs Eddison Zvobgo agreed with the courts on the illegality of the farm invasions. Dumiso Dabengwa, the Minister of Home Affairs, ordered the ex-combatants to vacate our farms or face arrest. Zvobgo said, Zanu-pf party would comply with the court order because it respected the rule of law.
We hope and pray that the specter of politically motivated violence will not rear its ugly head in our beautiful country Zimbabwe. Although uneconomically impoverished and ruled by unimaginative, self-aggrandizing political leaders, our Zimbabwe has for the last decade been stoic, composed, stable and peaceful. The emergence of credible opposition to the monopoly of Zanu-pf party has brought with it the violence that has shatter this stability.
Although Mugabe insists he is trying to correct the wrongs of Zimbabwe's colonial past, the land reform program is Mugabe's desperate bid to stay in power as his popularity wanes and our country unravels. About half of the nation's working population is unemployed, inflation has soared to 60 percent, fuel and power shortages are commonplace and families are struggling to feed themselves. Political violence in Zimbabwe has effectively put to pay to our hopes for economic recovery and prosperity. Business disrupted and foreign investors give us a wide-berth. Apart from this economic problem, innocent lives have been lost and an untold suffering befalls us. The practice of democracy calls for high degree of restraint and tolerance. Savages and the uncivilized people are not capable to practice it without coming to blows. When the Zanu-pf party government came in power, it preached the doctrine of the one party system and regarded any dissent or opposition as promoting
division and disunity. When it was forced by circumstance to adopt the multi-party system, it was with much reluctance. Hence the intolerance of opposition displayed by many of its leaders and members, to them, multi-party system is a necessary evil and not the ideal. In fact the legacy of violence in Zimbabwe goes beyond liberation war.
Our President described the actions of the illegal invasions of privately owned farmland by his war veterans, as a peaceful demonstration against the "No" vote to the draft constitution. He said the government was not going to take any action against anyone invading farms because no law has been broken. It is now clear that the very forces that swore to uphold and enforce the law have abdicated their responsibility to lawlessness and anarchy. Now ordinary citizen has been forsaken because the law now chooses who to protect and who not to protect.
One can only say "CRY MY BELOVED COUNTRY ZIMBABWE". Our woes can be laid right at the door of our government, the betrayed the trust given them by our people in 1980. Instead of proving themselves humble, upright leaders, they have become satiated with power and arrogantly refuse all well-intentioned advice. They have fallen to prey to greed and have forgotten the people whose interest they are supposed to serve. Thy claim that the right to rule or misrule is theirs alone because they fought the war. We wonder how far self-delusion can go.
Our President efforts are pathetic, blaming all the country's woes on the whites and the farmers. He also said that the British our formal colonial do not like us "Zimbabweans" because we are against homosexuality. All this might be funny if it weren't so tragic that our President, a very intelligent man, so we are told appears to believe what he saying. During the white rule, the Roman Catholic Church and the mainline Protestant churches as represented by the then Christian Council of Rhodesia supported the struggle for the African people for political freedom. Our President has a history that reveals dictatorial tendencies. He does not respect the judgments of other Zimbabweans even his own government ministers.
Mugabe's land reform program "has nothing to do with maintaining the land. It has done with maintaining power. Britain, our former colonial power, has put up $10 million to redistribute the land on a willing seller/willing buyer basis. Mugabe, however, he is using the money to hand out land to political cronies and business people - not the peasant farmers.
The Commercial Farmers Union reaffirmed its commitment to land reform in a comprehensive proposal formally presented to Government in 1991. More recently the United Nations Development Program UNDP poised on June 2000 to launch a program within the framework agreed at the September 1991 Conference to re-settle at least 200 farms with full donor support. This program was structured around the objectives of poverty alleviation revitalization of communal and resettlement area indigenisation enhanced agricultural production and building investor confidence. The Government response to this was to proceed with the attempted compulsory acquisition of nearly 1500 farms. After reaching agreement with the UNDP, Robert Mugabe launched the fast-track resettlement program with the listing of 81 farms on 12nd June 2000.The UNDP had no option but to with draw the program.
Before the death of my husband, he anticipated some dangers due to the looming farmland crisis, he took my only son Mark to South Africa where the deposited a trunk box as family valuables with a Safe Company. The box contains US$18.9m (Eighty Million Nine Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). But before his death my husband told my children that if the killings continue like this, I have this to tell you as a father that you must never expect that there is a future in this country for you all”. After the burial of my husband and the breadwinner of the family, me and my two children decided to move to the Republic of South Africa as all our hopes is no more where he had deposited the money to withdraw and put in-use.
Our hopes was turn down as the informed us that it is against the South Africa law for refugees seeking asylums in the country the right to banks or to participate in any financial transaction or to own an enterprise or company of his/her own in they country .Due to our asylum status (Refugee), we are not capable of transacting this project on our own since the Law of South Africa prohibits it. We cannot withdraw the money or invest here because of our status as refugees.
It is on this note that me and my children is therefore seeking for your kind assistance to help us transfer this money to your accounts in your country as the laws of South Africa do not permit us the rights to that and this money is all me and my family hopes for.
Our family has two options for you:
A:-Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for your kind assistance in this transaction.
B:- Or you can go into partnership with me and my children for the proper and profitable investment in your country.
We have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses we might incur in the process of this transaction.
If you do not prefer a partnership with us we are giving you 25% of the fund while the remaining 70% will be for my children and you and me will still help us in investing this money in a proper and profitable investment in your country because children and me do not have any knowledge of international business.
Please if you are willing to assist my children, and me please do contact us this telephone numbers (+27 838733339) or e-mail.
Finally, thanks for your understanding and love. We expect to hear from you.
Thanks and best regards
Mrs Thandy Olwethu.
