When you post, point out that the Buckles were two of the original supporters of mugabe & thug rule in Rhodesia. After getting their wish, her husband at least had the sense to abandon his family and flee to Britain.

Please post a link to that info.

If you have a better source for articles of what is happening on the ground there, please share it.

Sorry, I looked into her background years ago, when I first came across her writings on the situation in Zim. The info is out there, but you'll have to dig for it yourself.

I think the deal with her husband was, he went to England to work to support the family after their farm was seized. She didn't want to leave, so she (and her son?) stayed behind. After a while, he just decided he preferred civilization. I think they divorced, but I'm not sure.

I don't really have any sources of info about the area, other than friends who have family in South Africa. That's where my interest in the region come from. I spent some time in SA and just feel that it's a tragedy what's taken place there over the last 20-30 years.

There are a couple of freepers (clive, backhoe) who might be able to help you out. I thought it was clive who used to post the Cathy Buckle stuff, but I may be mistaken.

Put me on your ping list if you will - I'd be interested to see what you come up with.
