Mugabe men 'shot white farmer and drank his blood'

Rampaging war veterans killed a white farmer, David Stevens, and drank his blood mixed with alcohol, the Zimbabwe High Court has been told. The accusation was made by a witness testifying against four militants from the ruling Zanu-PF party, charged with the murder in April 2000 of Mr Stevens, a farmer and opposition political activist.

The militants are the first to face trial over the deaths of 12 white farmers – and 200 black activists – at the hands of President Robert Mugabe's supporters after the Zimbabwe government unleashed a violent campaign to seize and occupy white farms.

The High Court heard that war veterans occupying Mr Stevens' Arizona Farm, in Macheke, 100 miles east of the capital, Harare, frogmarched him to their office in the nearby Murehwa district. He was beaten and then dragged to a burial shrine for heroes of the 1970s independence war, where he was shot.

"One of them knelt over Stevens' body and brought a container filled with blood, which they mixed with alcohol and shared among themselves," the witness, who cannot be named for his own protection, told the High Court judge, Benjamin Paradza.

The four accused – Richard Svisviro, Muyengwa Munyuki, Charles Matanda and Douglas Chitekuteku – were arrested and remanded shortly after the murder. A fifth suspect, Banda Katsvamudanga, has disappeared.

This month, Jocyline Chiwenga, the wife of Zimbabwe's army commander, threatened to kill a white farmer, saying she had not "tasted white blood" for a long time. The farmer is taking legal step to recover money for his produce, which was soldafter Mrs Chiwenga forcibly evicted him.

In a separate development Geoffrey Nyarota, editor of the Daily News, Zimbabwe's only independent newspaper, has been charged with "undermining confidence" in the police by publishing claims of police torture made in court by an opposition activist.

"Rampaging war veterans killed a white farmer, David Stevens, and drank his blood mixed with alcohol..."

Is there a chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Blood Drinking over there?

Sounds like a protest job for another group of haughty women from California or New York who have way too much time on their hands...

Yes, it's called, DAMM, Drunks Against Mad Mothers.

Bleed him dry and it'll feed you for a day. Bleed him slowly and it'll feed you for a lifetime.

I thought even looters had more sense than this.

Why in the world are posting this inflammatory stuff?

Everybody knows that Zimbabwe under Mugabe is a nation of peace.

[the_doc]

Oops! I blew the joke. I left out the "you."

[Stentor]

Sharpen up your stakes. It looks like we're going to need a sh*tload.

To the best of my knowledge this same type of thing happens in NYC on a daily basis. White motorists are often stopped on the Belt Parkway, murdered by savages who drink their blood, and then dance a native ritual around their burning car late into the night.

I think there's videotape on this!

With all of the blood-borne pathogens rife in Africa today, maybe the farmer will yet have his revenge.

The Mau-Mau shall rise again!

I sincerely hope this white farmer had AIDS or some other horrible disease and that these disgusting vampires die horrible deaths.

Not likely but we can hope.

Oh c'mon. They are just like us.

"Oh c'mon. They are just like us."

Yup. One plane ride and they could be your neighbor....and you get to support them too!

[AppyPappy]

I'm sure they are skilled workers.

Be serious. Haven't your neighbors ever killed anyone and mixed their blood with alcohol and drank it? Tell the truth....

"Haven't your neighbors ever killed anyone and mixed their blood with alcohol and drank it? Tell the truth...."

We do have some unusual customs around here but, blood drinking is not one of those.

Yep, not a matter of if, but when and by whom. My bet for whom will be a toss up between "undocumented" Hispanics or "who cares how many" Mideastern folk.

What do you think?

Well, with the exception of England, Australia, India and Israel, pretty much all the rest are planning to kill us.

First Islam, then the so-called rogue states, then the waves from the south, finally Russia and China nuke us.

But it could be worse.
