africa=2EI have also lived all my life in Zimbabwe and so has all members of my family=2Ctherefore it is right to call me a 
Zimbabwean though white=2CI am by law a Zimbabwean=2EI have little or no knowledge of my roots save for the fact that 
my forefathers as I was told=2Chailed from Australia=2Cwhich I have never visited all my life=2EIt is pertinent that I tell you all this so 
that you can come to a full comprehension of the ill treatment that I have received from the Zimbabwean government of late=2E

The government of Robert Mugabe=2Cpresident of Zimbabwe=2Cin the year 2000 promulgated an abbysmal land law=2Cthe fast tract
 land resettlement program=2Caimed at taking land from the rich white commercial farmers in Zimbabwe and given it to the so 
called poor natural inhabitants of Zimbabwe=2Cthe black Zimbabweans=2Cwho as the president claimed are the rightful owners of 
these land=2ETo this effects=2Cour lands=2Cincluding the lands where our personal houses where built on have been taking from 
us=2Crendering us homeless=2EIn pursuance to this law=2Cthe so called natural inhabitants=2Cthe black Zimbabweans=2Chave committed 
serious human rights violations in the process of forcefully taking our lands from us=2EMany of our white brothers were maimed=2C

land=2CZimbabwe=2Cwhere I have to travel 100 kilometers to send this mail to you=2EWe were hoping that the international 
community will come to our rescue=2Cbut this hope has been dashed since all we hear is that the international community is 
still appealing to the Zimbabwean government to reconsider the law=2Cwhich clearly has fallen on deaf ears=2Csince most of us 
have been relegated to abject poverty and homelessness while living in fear=2EAll our properties have been confiscated 
including our bank accounts which have been frozen=2EThe rest of us who managed to flee Zimbabwe at the inception of this
law are now the lucky ones=2EMy dear friend=2CI have lost all I worked for all my life=2EAs a tobacco farmer I have lost both my farm
