I however wish to clear the air on a few issues and categorically state the following:
1. I wish it to be emphasised that at no point have we ever believed or insinuated that this attack was politically motivated and would like to denounce those who have tried to use our misfortune to their advantage and further their own selfish agendas.
2. I have not made any official statements before this and reports being published by some media houses referring to the events of that fateful night are full of speculation and mischievous to say the very least. Their so called sources are obviously very suspicious and not very well versed as to what happened or the position regarding our residency at the farm. The falsehoods being peddled are tantamount to incitement.
3. We have received nothing but immense support from the ZANU PF Mashonaland West Chairman, Cde. Temba Mliswa, his team, the Police and community at large.
4. We have over the years, enjoyed very cordial relations with the ruling Party and have never at any point been threatened off the farm by them.
5. We are confident that the law will take its course and that the perpetrators will be brought to book.
6. We would prefer to have our privacy respected for now and our main concern at the moment is that Dave and Mary-Anne stabilise and recover from the injuries they suffered and that we can somehow pick up the pieces and move on.
7. I would like to sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank all our family, friends, colleagues and everyone that has lent their hand to support, offered their prayers and words of encouragement, we are humbled. May God Bless you
