Johannesburg - Members of president Robert Mugabe's family, the Zanu-PF head office chauffeur and even a gospel singer are among the "landless masses" on the list of those who have been allocated farms which have been expropriated from whites in Zimbabwe.
The list of 76 pages, with over 1 00 names, was released on Monday.
Some of those on the list have been allocated three farms, despite the fact that they were given land during the first land reforms in 1998.
There are at least 12 Mugabes on the list - including the president's wife, who gets two farms.
Mugabe's sister Sabina gets three farms. One of these farms is Gowrie, where the owner, Terry Norton, was killed by invaders.
Among the war veterans to get farms is Shiri Perence, who had been in charge of the Matabeleland massacres in the 1980s in which and estimated 20 000 people died. He gets three farms.
The name of former youth affairs, sport and culture minister Border Gezi, who had led farm invasions in 2000 is also on the list. He died of Aids last year.
Local government and public affairs and housing minister Ignatius Chombo informed the owner of the farm Allan Grange in West Mashonaland on Friday by telephone to get off the farm as he wanted to move in.
The value of the current wheat and barley crop on the farm of 400ha is estimated at ZIM$130 million.
Animal Farm is being played out in blood in Zimbabwe. The equation is quite simple. Citizens of Zimbabwe will starve to death by the tens of thousands, up to the millions, until Mugabe and his band of murderers and thieves are dead. And he will not be stopped except by execution.
Citizens of Zimbabwe who want to prevent the rest of the tragedy that has already begun, shauld read the history of Roumania. They need to do unto the Magabes what the Roumanians did to the Choucesceus (however you spell the names of the thugs who used to run Roumania).

.....that's the last crop that farm will ever see...those ignorant fools will never get that grain out of the field and into the elevator....it will rot in the field first...anybody who's ever been on a farm knows that there's a lot to do to get ready for harvest time.....equipment has to be gone over first or it will break down.....I'm sure that ol' Ignatious Chombo is real skilled in pulling preventive maintainence on a big John Deere combine ;-)....
