White woman joins eviction mob

In A bizarre twist to the forced removals of Zimbabwe’s farmers, a white woman, believed to be British, took part in the eviction of a farm couple this week. The woman, Anne Matonga, in her early 30s, screamed at Monica Schultz: “We are taking back the land you stole from us!” Matonga is married to Bright Matonga, 35, a Zimbabwean propagandist. He worked as a sports reporter in London for the BBC but was recently recalled to Zimbabwe at the behest of Information Minister Jonathan Moyo to work for the State-controlled Herald newspaper, then the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation, before being put in charge of the national bus company, Zupco.

Vincent Schultz, Monica’s husband, had been wrongfully arrested as the seizure of his farm had been ruled invalid on a legal technicality. Nevertheless, he was still in prison, pending a bail application, and his wife was alone on the farm on Sunday when the Matongas arrived and began hurling abuse at her. “She (Anne Matonga) was rude, saying we had stolen her land. I thought it strange as she was white, and looked and sounded British,” Monica Schultz said of the incident.

Well it looks like Matonga is about to become a "cell phone" farmer.

The government in Zimbabwe is screaming that people are starving in Their country. Could it be caused by the fact that farmers are being kicked off their farm and replaced by individuals who have no knowledge about how to properly even plant a crop?

Since the liberals are ranting and celebrating how much they really care about starving people while they gorge on mounds of lobsters in South Africa, I will let them pay to solve the problems they see.

To show the world how much I care, I am going to take my daugther to Pizza Hut for lunch today. Not exactly the same fare as lobsters, mounds of shrimp, and fish eggs, but, by eating at the buffet I will show how much I care for all those starving around the world too.

After lunch I will go to the grocery store and buy my dog a steak, he is a great dog.

If steak, lobster, oysters, etc are good enough for those at the Earth Summit, surely they would not want to deny my dog a steak either. He gets hungry too, just like they do!

When things (food riots) really get to going in about 18 monts, they'll stew and eat her too!

Typical communist cadre. Make no mistake, although Mugabe would 'shudder' at her white presence, she backs the thug in her ideological mania to the hilt. She would be like the person who, after being mugged, would claim that she 'deserved' it.

Looks like Mugabe just took another lesson from Stalin:

"Useful Idiots"

Mugabe must be reading "How to be a Communist Oppressor in Ten Easy Steps"

Political Science 201, Patrice Lumumba University, governing a Peoples Republic.

Pol Pot took the same course.

Not if you listen to NPR. It is the fault of drought.

I guess that woman's attitude towards white farmers of Zimbabwe, makes her what black Americans refer to as an "Uncle Tom" (or in her case, Aunt Tomette).

I do not believe a word NPR says.
