My father was one ofthe biggest farmers in our country and because hestrongly opposed Mugabe's ideas, Mugabe's supportersinvaded my father's farm and burnt everything in thefarm, killed my father and made away with a lot ofitems in my father's farm.

Before his death, my father had deposited with oneSecurity Company in Amsterdam, Netherlands the sum ofUS$15.5 Million dollars (Fifteen Million FiveHundred Thousand United States Dollars). This wasmoney he planned to use in buying new machinery and toset up a new farm in Swaziland.
