Good news regarding happenings in Santa Maria.
We are winning the war at Nhonguane Lodge.
The first success was when the holding company of Nhonguane Lodge was liquidated in a South African Court. The holding company is now under curatorship.
I myself had great success in the Mozambican courts. I got awarded a court order giving me back possession of my house. The other investors are going to follow suit, and soon all the houses will be back in the possession of the true owners.
We went there on 30 May 2013, in an almost military operation, over land and sea, with representatives of the court, police, local chiefs and our advogado.
We received some resistance in typical fashion with a lot of excuses, explanations and bullshit being told, but after I applied a bolt cutter to the first lock it was fait accompli. They didn’t even bother to cut the water and electricity and we stayed for 2 nights.
I changed all locks and Bheki Nhaka, the big skipper, is now a resident security guard in the house to prevent break- ins.
Sad news however is that the house has been ransacked, there is almost nothing left. Freezers, microwave, even those heavy beds made on order out of ironwood have been stolen. Hundreds of thousands worth of furniture and personal items. Also 2 of my quadbikes, kyaks, windsurfers and of course all my fishing tackle. Even the Bibles have been stolen.
How low can you go?
I have opened a huge case of theft against the perpetrators for all this.
