DEAR:SIR/MADAM
I am Morris Themba the first son of the late Mr. George.F.Themba; my father had served
Mr.B.Higins who was an Irish citizen. My father served him for many years and had
inherited his farm after his death.
My father became an executive member ofthe farmers Association in the western masho
naland province of Zimbabwe. He also became a successful businessman.Because of the
recent uprising in my country and the war veterans and farmers clashing, my father
decided that it would be safer if my younger brother and I moved to South Africa to
escape the violence. And that the previous year he left Zimbabwe with a box contain
ing (US$11m) Eleven million, United States Dollars, which he deposited with a pri
vate security company in Johannesburg South Africa.
He also instructed me not to reveal the contents of the box to anyone for security
reason. All the documents pertaining to this deposition are kept with me. Barely two
months after we moved to Gauteng, we were told that my father's farm had been inva
ded and that my parents and most of his workers had been killed. My father's pro
perty and farmland have now been taken over by the war veterans. I believe that this
has been the work of people who did not like my father because of support for white
owned farmers. We could not even attend the funerals of my parents, as we now fear
for our dear lives.
