My father was the famous politician who stood firm against President Mugabe’s idea of continuous fight in the Democratic Republic of Congo and my father also stood against the seizure of white owned farms and the distribution of it to the blacks without compensation on to the white owners. Because of my Father's sincerity he was killed by a planned motor accident from dissident soldiers suspected to have the backing of the Government and Current President Mugabe himself.But he did not die immediately and during the course of his treatment, before he died he called I and my Mother,and showed us a written note concerning a $20M funds he deposited in the ESCROW/SUSPENSE ACCOUNT of one of the major banks here in South Africa with an IRREVOCABLE NON WITHDRAWAL INSURANCE CERTIFICATE ORDER/DEPOSITORY AGREEMENT which states that it is only a foreign appointed trustee/beneficiary of a NON SOUTH AFRICAN ORIGIN has the power of claims and that no money will be deducted from the PRINCIPAL SUM until it gets to the account of the beneficiary overseas andthat the only officer who knows about it is Dr. Philip Nosipo who is the head foreign operation, treasury and international Remittance Department of the said Bank.He also intimated us of some other vital documents that were meant for his Political campaign in the next election. My father instructed me to take my Mother and leave Zimbabwe immediately for our safety, which we have successfully done and now we are in South Africa were the money is deposited with the bank.
