To say I was shocked by the lame, disingenuous, and shamefully ridiculous attempts by the Zimbabwe government to sanitize the septic, cruel, and repulsive displacement of over 12,000 Chilonga villagers from their ancestral land, to make way for a Lucerne grass growing venture by the Dendairy company, by labeling it as ‘investment’, would be the understatement of my lifetime – but, rather, I was bewildered, enraged, and filled with a sense of revulsion for a regime that touts itself as liberators from colonialism, yet have swiftly morphed, in typical ‘Animal Farm’ fashion, into the very colonialists they claim to have vanquished.
