Farmer threatens to sue website

Commercial farmer Charles Davy has threatened to sue a Zimbabwean website, for publishing a story accusing him of aiding and abetting the Zanu (PF) regime. Davy is father to Chelsy, the ex-girlfriend of British Prince Harry.

The website in question, Zimdiaspora.com, accused Davy of sponsoring Zanu (PF) politicians, naming senior members of President Robert Mugabes party Webster Shamu and Emmerson Mnangagwa as some of those to benefit from the farmers largess.

Davy has accused the website of publishing fabrications and falsehoods. (This is) exactly why I do not give interviews, they create stories and those stories fuel the fire of creating more absolute rubbish stories, the farmer is quoted as saying.

Refuting charges that he had survived land invsasions because of his connections with Zanu (PF), Davy points out that he was not the only white farmer still farming in Zimbabwe.

There are over 400 farmers in Zimbabwe who have survived land invasions for various reasons, from geographical position, attitude of local communities, protection from bilateral investment certificates, he said.

Davy claims there are white farmers who openly support the opposition who are still on their farms in his district because of this decision by the local community not to interfere with the commercial farmers.
