TO CLAIM ALL THE WHITE OWNED FARMERS IN OUR COUNTRY, HE ORDERED ALL WHITE
FARMERS TO SURRENDER THEIR FARMS TO HIS PARTY MEMBERS AND THEIR FOLLOWERS.MY
FATHER WAS ONE OF THE BEST ZIMBABWEEN FARMERS IN THE COUNTRY AND KNOWING
THAT HE DID NOT SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT POLITICAL IDEOLOGY, THE PRESIDENT'S
SUPPORTERS INVADED MY FATHER'S FARM AND BURNT DOWN EVERYTHING, SHOT HIM
AND AS A RESULT OF THE WOUNDS SUSTAINED,HE BECAME SICK AND DIED AFTER TWO
DAYS. AFTER HIS DEATH, MY MOTHER AND I TOGETHER WITH MY YOUNGER BROTHER
DECIDED TO MOVE OUT OF ZIMBABWE FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR LIVES. BUT BEFORE
MY FATHER DIED, HE WROTE A WILL, WHICH READS. MY BELOVED SON, I WISH TO
DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SUM OF (US$25 MILLION DOLLARS) WHICH I DEPOSITED
