From Mrs P.N. Bellingan Sir: Here in Zimbabwe the right

to roam has gone mad. The worst thing about all this farm invasion (over 600 farms now) is that it is illegal. The judiciary declared against it, yet the police dare not enforce the law; it would be politically incorrect for them to do so. Today they take your farm, tomorrow it could be your house or your wife. When anarchy rules, anything goes and life becomes difficult. As Mugabe's government is paying these squatters Z$50 a day and feeding them, it means that we, the taxpayers, are all supporting this chaot- ic state of affairs. We all despair!
