Mugabe and the White African

Mugabe-and-the-White-African11

We’re all just really surviving until this regime’s over,” says the daughter of a white African farmer being pushed from his farm in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe).  Her husband, Ben, also lives and works on the farm.  The white African family is presumably finishing up dinner in their home when they’re alerted that seven black Africans armed with axes and machetes are in the maize field.  Mike Campbell, the white African farmer, says he’ll go out after he finishes his drink.  Their farm is supposed to be protected from invasion through a court order.  As Mike grabs a flashlight and loads his shotgun, we see a group of farm hands load up into pickup trucks to investigate with Mike and his son-in-law.
“I mean, there’s no law and order.  We can’t go to the police.  You know, you’ve got to do something…”
