On 28 Nov 2008 we successfully sued Robert Mugabe in international court. The SADC Tribunal ruled that my family & others could continue to farm and live in our homes. This included our 500 workers and their families. Mugabe defied the judgment & burnt our homes to the ground…

Mugabe went further. He managed to stop 300 million SADC citizens from accessing the court. Justice failed. The rule of law failed. We have been riding through a desert ever since.


Why would anyone ride to the SADC Tribunal through a desert? 15 years ago the SADC Tribunal gave a judgment to say that we could stay in our homes and carry on farming. Mugabe defied the rule of law and disobeyed the judgment.


Today I start the second part of my journey to the SADC Tribunal riding on a mule and walking with it. I have done 800 km and have about double that to go.
