The situation is being resolved. War vets in the district are building many structures, as well as burning bush. Odzi - War vets set alight bush on Alma Farm, which the owner quickly tried to back burn to kill the original fire. The war vets are now accusing him of trying to burn them out. The war vet leader for this area has been replaced and the ex-leader is now travelling around with Mbada in an army issued truck visiting the war vets on farms.
War vets on other farms continue to burn bush.
Mutare - On Friday 11 August four war vets visited a farm and queried the labour on why they were working on such an important holiday. The labour explained that the baby corn had to be picked twice a day. The war vets then left and returned with numbers on Sunday for a meeting with a Government official. This is a new occupation, and Police are refusing to react. Chipinge - On Chipinge West Farm 780 head of cattle were driven 10km by war vets to Luipers Vlei Farm with one of the animals being trampled to death in the process.
