IMIRE SITUATION DIFFUSED

ZIMBABWE CONSERVATION TASK FORCE
 
3rd July 2008
 
 
It is with great relief and pleasure that we announce that the invasion of Imire Safari Ranch has been prevented for the time being.

Our heartfelt gratitude to National Parks who mobilized very quickly this morning, together with the police, the army and the Central Intelligence Organization. They are all spending the night at Imire tonight and if the war veterans attempt to carry out their threats, we are confident that they will come off second best.

 

John Travers received phone calls from the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources, Francis Nhema, the Minister of Defence, Sidney Sekeramai and the Governor of Mashonaland East, assuring him that Imire will be protected.

 

On behalf of all Zimbabweans, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to Minister Nhema, Minister Sekeremai, the Governor of Mashonaland East, National Parks, the Zimbabwean Republican Police, the Zimbabwean Defence Forces and the Central Intelligence Organization for using their powers of authority to prevent a tragedy from happening at Imire Safari Ranch.

 

Johnny Rodrigues

Chairman for Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force
