The World: Caught in the Middle
(2 of 2)
On a large, white-owned farm near the Tribal Trust Land, the home of the assistant manager was burned down early this year. The house of the manager, Mike Auret, was untouched. Instead, Auret found two notes from the guerrillas. "We don't hate whites," they said. "We left your property because you are a friend of the people." But another white farmer, well known as a progressive, was killed this summer by ZANU guerrillas. (Predictably, many Africans blamed the Selous Scouts.) So Auret takes as few chances as he can. His house is surrounded by a 10-ft. security fence, and he has a radio link with the police. His nearest white neighbor is more than three miles away.
