Mugabe and the White African Freeth Ben
Ben Freeth has an extraordinary story to tell. But Ben's family fought back. Like that of many white farmers, his family's land was 'reclaimed' by Mugabe's government for redistribution.
The case was deferred time and again while Mugabe's men pulled strings. Appealing to international law, they instigated a suit against Mugabe's government via the SADC (The Southern African Development Community). But after Freeth and his parents-in-law were abducted and beaten within inches of death in 2008, the SADC deemed any further delay to be an obstruction of justice.
The case was heard, and successful on all counts. But the story doesn't end there. In 2009 the family farm was burnt to the ground.
The fight for justice in Zimbabwe is far from over - this book is for anyone who wants to see into the heart of one of today's hardest places, and how human dignity flourishes even in the most adverse circumstances.
