Last TWO years as the chief of Lupane village, my HUSBAND sold some
plot’s of lands to the white’s farmers companies, in our country and the
money that was paid was divided into three parts by him and two parts of the
money was used for development in our village Lupane and one of the
remaining parts of the money is what my HUSBAND gained as the chief of
Lupane village.due to the FARMER'S CRISIS in our country Zimbabwe the
government began investigation about the lands that was sold to the white
farmers illegally and the government asked my husband about the lands he
sold in the year 2002 and he explained to the government that the lands he
sold to the white farmers companies is legal and he also explained to the
government how all the money was used for the development of the village.
but the government lead by PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE was not satisfied.one day
while we were in our house a group of unknown men came to our house
requesting my HUSBAND to attend an important meeting,as a chife,he got
