War vet and white farmer behind Chiredzi ranch invasions

Ken Drummond

By Tererai Karimakwenda
11 January, 2012

A white farmer named Ken Drummond is reported to have teamed up with war vet Francis Zimuto, who calls himself Black Jesus, and the unlikely duo are alleged to be intimidating the remaining white farmers in the Chiredzi and Hippo Valley area, taking over properties illegally.

SW Radio Africa reported earlier this week that war vets had taken over Mteri Lodge on the Hippo Valley estate and that Drummond was after the hunting rights. We have since been informed that Zimuto was behind the takeover and has been intimidating the owners at nearby Nhari Lodge.

The two are also alleged to be involved in similar deals at Impala Ranch and Savuli Ranch, both in the Save Valley Conservancy. Five thugs working for Zimuto invaded Savuli ranch four months ago and are living there, attempting to turn the workers against the owner.

Sources in Chiredzi who chose not to be identified, said Zimuto is working for the former ZANU-PF Minister Shuvai Mahofa. Drummond has visited Savuli with his son Tiki, pretending it was an inspection.

“Mai Mahofa” claims to be the new owner of Savuli and has produced a copy of a lease, according to trusted sources, who said close inspection showed that the lease was invalid and had different dates on the pages.

Zimbabwe’s wild life conservancies have been under constant threat for ten years and there appears to be a concerted effort to remove all remaining obstacles to plundering them. Massive deforestation is taking place as all the trees are cut down and thousands of animals continue to be snared and slaughtered.

Deon Theron, former president of the Commercial Farmers Union, said the conservancies were protected by law, but the absence of the rule of law means any individual can target an area and invade with impunity.

“Although there is a unity government we all know that ZANU PF dictates what should happen. Over the last ten years the law has been applied selectively and those with the right connections are not prosecuted,” Theron explained.

Find this almost to hard to believe having been at school with him (Drummond).

MuZimba

If u still intouch with him u better warn him that he is gonna die like a rat soon or later. Remind him that he is still white and he is hindering any protests by other whites to get fair treatment in Zim.

I agree, didn’t we learn many years ago not to believe anything you hear/read in the press?

Ken Drummond is familiar, did he go to PE?

Jo Pete

No he is a Bulawayo boy. Adopted by fine family. I wonder what they think of him now?

Zim Facts

Sadly both Mitch ( Dave ) and Pauline are no longer with us!
Heather Nel

Yes we were adopted by a fine family, and we were brought up to respect other people’s property and feelings.
Ken who is my brother and I grew up in the same home for many years. And I think I know him better than anyone else. I lay my life on the plate, there is no way but no way that ken is guilty of all the lies that he is being acused of.
I now live in SA and still have so much to do with him and spent almost a month with him in Bulawayo last January and he has not changed from the brother I grew up with. I feel this is just a slandering session for people to vent their anger on someone and it happens to be ken.
And as for Zim Facts, to my farther dying a pauper there is nothing further from the truth. My farther had everything he wanted and needed I was very involved with his well being and was more than happy as to how ken was looking after him. In fact he had his own cheque book to the main account the only stipulation ken made was that my dad sign the cheques himself.
and Murphy did not like that. she wanted to be in control and started spreading rumours.
I would like to stop there before I become like the rest of you scandle mongers.
to those that looked up to Ken, dont stop he has not changed he is still the same person that tries to help everyone , black and white alike, and asks for nothing in return.

Heather, with all due respect we can only admire your family loyalties. We have no quarrel with you! You were adopted into a solid family and so it is no surprise that we should find it extremely surprising that Ken has gone off at a tangent!

It seems you are so sure of your opinions! Would you consider getting yourself to Zimbabwe so as to avail yourself to all those who have had business dealings with Ken? Would you avail yourself to those who have lost their land? … or are you so convinced that there is only Kens side to this story?

What about his wife who sits on Rocky Glen? Have you taken time to listen to her story?

Do yourself a favor and open your eyes! Where there is smoke there is fire! Reading through all the comments you begin to realize the extent at which people will go to express their frustration. These are not spontaneous, random ” throw ins ” for the sake of good reading!… these are genuine heart cries from people who know, people who have had dealings with Ken and people who have had their lives ” damaged ” through their dealings with Ken.

From an emotional point of view Ken portrays himself as the most amazing, most loving character and this he may well be at that emotional level in which you as family would be listed! … but beyond that, when it comes to his business ethic and dealings, you have no idea!

As for Mitch, your Dad what an amazing man. His heart and soul never left the farm! The day he left was the day he lost all his purpose and dignity! He felt as much as an old worn out boot!…no longer fit for another mile! As for being a pauper! … he may have had all the money at his fingertips yet he felt he could never ask! Mitch and I used to talk and so I knew where his heart was. Your efforts at the end did not go unnoticed!

Whether you would like to believe it not the situation on the ground here involving Ken is extremely serious and especially for the Drummond family as a whole!

Ah Zimfacts how many wives have you had who ran away. You have struggled all your life to run a marriage. U have a famous temper and very few friends. Its also understood you have enstranged your foreign partners. I was reading your comments and it finally clicked, u must be uncle Kens neighbour. Your facts are like a finger print. Your e mails bare the vengeance of a grumpy old man with a personal score to settle. Funny tho u r also still on your farm. Its a case of the pot calling the cattle black. Now you tell people how u kept your farm. U must have struck a deal wit da pommies or sorry the yanks. or is it. sounds interesting.

You obviously don’t know any better if you are proud of scum like this. I feel sorry for you.
How can you be proud of someone who inflicts such cruelty and destruction on others?

Heather – how is it that Ken is the only farmer keft on his farm in the Bubiana Conservancy? Have you talked to the farmers who lost thyeir farms entirely? I am afraid there are too many bitter ex friends.
Tin Tin

Well Ken is on his farm because he did cooperate with the authorities and it is that simple. Fact is Ken’s property is designated but he reached an agreement with the beneficiaries if his property and stayed on. So in reality he has black partners. Thats probably the only way to farm in Zim. Well given a choice of putting up satellite dishes in Aussie i would rather be in partnership with the people i have grown to love Zimbabweans.

Thank you Tin Tin for this positive attitude. If only we all think like you, our country could prosper for the benefit of all of our people. It has been proven that fighting each other for purposes of entrenching our positions does not work at all. Once again thanks for a friendly advice to our friends.
Fisherman

Tin Tin, basically your comments are a reflection of the current situation that we find ourselves in. I have a number of farmer friends who, for one reason or another, have chosen to work with the new so called “Beneficiaries”, who for the most part, see a well run farm or property and feel that they are more deserving than the farmer who has spent a vast fortune and time putting it together. This is fact of life in this country….what gets me is that Drummond, not only has taken on “Black partners”, but has actively co-operated in the forcful eviction of lease holders in the Lowveld. Where does this fit in with the necessary co-operation needed to maintain your own livelihood. Drummond may have suffered as most farmers have, but he has gone one step too far by taking sides with the Devil.

Perhaps Mr. Zimuto is just another lovely man such as Mr. Mugabe, Mr. Mpofu, Mr. Gadaffi, Mr. Hunzvi or Mr. Taylor. We have been told by a Minister “Mr. Mugabe is not a monster you know, he cares deeply about our children, he is a loving father.” What do we choose to believe?

Has Ken Drummond been given an opportunity to comment on these allegations? If what is indicated is true, he has much to answer for and I, with I’m sure, many others will take issue and comment accordingly; hopefully he is not party to such activities and can convince us all..

there is an allegation that this man was convicted of man slaughter in the Rhodesian days supposedly beat up one of his African workers who later died in hospital. He was then allegadly given a presidencial pardon when a petition was handed over along with his’ dazzeling’ military record…. interesting that the war vets are siding with him now then isnt it…. wonder if ‘black jesus’ knows of this story….. bet people are kicking themselves now for signing that petition… rather disliked around these parts has to be said, stories of his devious escapades have been around this part of the world for quite sometime now…..

Mr Drummond if these allegations are true watch your back my friend, your gains will be very short lived. You are destroying the legacy of all Zimbabweans regardless of political background or race it is short minded people like those mentioned in this report that the Zimbabwean people need to root out and stop before there is nothing left for them to destroy.
Cannonnie

I do not pay much attention to postings that use phrases such as “is reported to have teamed up….” and fail to give verifiable sources or references of the so-called “reports”.

Judging by some of the comments posted on this article, it would appear that some whites could resort to taking the law into their own hands in dealing out punishment to the “accused”, who seems to be have judged guilty already by “mob rule-style” justice based on flimsy evidence, that is, if judgement is bases solely on the above article.

Amdeall

I think people are just disgusted with him, if its true, people lost their lives, and their livelhoods, their land, which they paid for and all that they had and worked for, now he is coming along and just taking.
TNT

But the comments are not purely based on the above article. Most of the comments are based on the fact that they have witnessed certain events involving Drummond. If you sleep with a dog you are bound to get flees… he is in bed with the so called “war vet”, Zimuto, who dispenses his brand of “mob rule-justice”… what goes around comes around.
fisherman

Read the comments – the majority are from whites who are or have been affected by this particular man. I have done the research, I know the people affected by this last outrage. I have been face to face with this man “Comrade Black Jesus”. Drummond’s actions are made worse by the fact that he attacks the very community which bears the brunt of the political attacks perpetrated by the party in power. We expect it from the these people in power, we dont expect it from the people who we need to draw strength and support from.

Maybe the collective situation is sucking everybody and anything into it. Seems far beyond crisis management (Country).
This work together story is long gone. International intervention is needed. Good and Bad people do good and bad things. It needs to be sorted out externally. I think a lot of other players are involved especially the the east.

Ken Drummond is no different to the white farmers in South Africa who are siding with the Rhino Poachers! The greedy bastards see only an opportunity for themselves. Be warned, the daggers have been drawn, one step over the border and you are dead meat! Zimbabweans are sick and bloody tired of the likes of Drummond!

Hey Tabs, you seem to be a big buddy of this renegade white trash!! Can you pse give him a call & verify? Reputable people have given evidence, not in his favour.

I tell you what TABS, go have a chat with the people on the ground who have been affected by these take overs. Speak to people holding the leases at Mteri Lake and then put things into perspective. I’m not one to put blame unless its warranted and have always tried to give the benefit of the doubt – unfortunately in this case there is no doubt.

Even his own family dont seem to be divided on whether or not he is involved in this disgusting mess…so the rest of us who dont know him, will therefore most certainly judge him based on what we have read here….and we are not ashamed to do so

Have you all lost your minds?????? This is Ken Drummond we are talking about. The man is a legend and I have known him my WHOLE life!!!! He is not perfect and has his faults but since when do we take the word of a Mashona Reporter who probably has nothing but contempt for white people and takes exquisite pleasure in making us, obviously fickle, whities – want to kill one another?? DO YOU ALL NEVER LEARN???? Its called Propaganda – look it up in the Dictionary. The dog has learned to use the tricks it has been taught by China and Russia – and we take the bait every time! Don’t blame the fall of Africa on anyone but a race of people who cannot and will not unite together. Idiots!

Charlesc103

Speaking wit the manager at Hippo(Mteri Lodge) it was definitely Ken with Zimuto.Not the first time Zimuto has tried this,He was there with his cronies in 2010 as well.Hippo has some of the best buffalo in Zimbabwe and are inundated with poachers–I doubt Zimuto will sort this problem-the man has the IQ of a broken soup plate

Yes also spoke to people back home in Chiredzi, and unfortunately they have nothing to say in Kens defence…..in fact only the opposite! So very sad…..

Hey Tabs. You sound as though you are very far up Drummond’s rear end. Does he employ you?

Tabs

No Lil. He was a very good friend of my father’s. He bounced me on his knee as a child and I would never want to believe something like that of him. If I am wrong then I will take the abuse, however, I am a firm believer in three sides to a story and of believing the best of people. I must say my post was a knee jerk reaction and again – I hope to God I am not wrong.

Again I am not surprised. He is a person of low moral standards who will not stoop to bribe his way through the Zimbabwe courts to attain his objectives. He is married but is living with another woman who already has three children from two different men. Last year she gave birth to a child by Drummond and is pregnant with another. Drummond has several illegitimate children already.

He is notorious for taking what he wants regardless of the consequences to other people and families. He is a good debater and somehow always makes himself look good. For heavens sake do not be taken in my him.

Tabs. I live in the Save Valley Conservancy and I am the Conservator and DO know what is going on. The report is absolutely correct !! This NOT propaganda and is absolute fact !!

Antoinettesteyn

I beg to differ with this fictious report as this is not correct, this is not a fact having done some of the ground work I’m speaking of fact….The presence of both Ken and Ticky at Hippo Valley are merely as consultants in the effort to promote conservation. Poaching is rife and its a consolidated effort to sort this out while showing new entrants or Zimuto how it can be done to the benefit of wildlife. Black and white should work together as we are Zimbabweans as a whole. There are no hidden agenda’s have some guts and find out before you all have so much to say.

Lil

Interesting your comment. You would say as much in his defense. You are his kept woman and mother of his illegitimate children. His money helped you bribe your way through the Zimbabwe law courts when you were accused of child abduction. You still stand accused of this crime. God will judge you for the harm you are doing to the Drummond family and your own children. You too will be judged.

There is nothing fictitious about any of this! Understand that the Save Valley Conservancy is a far greater success story than the Bubiana Conservancy ever was!…certainly in regard to it’s wildlife policies!

To add Drummond himself was directly responsible for the demise of in exess of 70 of the Bubiana’s Black Rhino and the eradication of an entire heard of buffalo!….under his chairmanship! What is to be said about all this?

Its all because of greed and of course stupidity! Why cause misery to those who have worked so hard in their lives. Why decimate the land of food and wildlife just for their fat guts!

Leave the farmers alone and help build the country back to being productive and once again the bread basket of Africa.

@ Ox Hacking… yes it does hurt… both me and Tabs spent many years looking up to Ken Drummond who fought alongside our dad in the war, and only had the utmost respect for him …. Since posting her comments we have been phoning people back home and it seems not only times, but people have changed too…my dad is so dissappointed in him, as I am sure so many people that know (or thought they did) are…

vdz

i have to say that these are not the first stories ken has been involved in…. he is a very selfish arogant man i seems who doesnt really consider anyone standing in the way of what he wants. greed is a scary thing but every dog has his day and i personally know alot of people who have been on the sad end of his actions who would love that day to come very soon! even sadder is the fact that his one son seems to be following in his fathers footsteps with what seems like no worries……

I am so sorry to have disappointed you guys with this news. I too am extremely disappointed with him, and am shocked when all are fighting for their very survival. Having never met the man, but having heard much about him long ago, this is not a good example especially when some regard him as a role model. Very sad !!
GBZ

Hey Tabs, sorry to prick your bubble sweetie, but we need to look at the nature of the “beast” and wonder why “kenny” has all his land and actually doing very well when all around him has been taken and destroyed.Do you honestly think that they just happened to forget about him, noooo he was in Bobs office offering him all kinds of nice things and an outspoken suppoter of zpf. I have also known him aaall my life and have seen the stuff he has done and its aaall about “kenny” and money money money.Remember money is not the “root of all evil” it is the “love of money that is the root of all evil” and this drug has got hold of your “uncle kenny” and he will do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, and even KILL for it, and one day it WILL DESTROY HIM. Let me assure you this is probably not the worst thing he may have done, it’s just that he has been found out and this coulld be the start of his own destruction. I learned a long time ago to never put anyone on a pedistal, thats where God belongs. Man will dissapoint you, but there is always hope and forgiveness in God. It’s not mans judgement we need to fear, it is Gods judgement that is fearful and we have no escape from that. Look UP. Maybe kenny, ticky, and Davie may read this. God Bless Zimbabwe.

I am intrigued. Come SW Radio Africa contact Ken Drummond and ask him to stand and be accountable. If he refuses to comment then the likelihood he is guilty as accused. But if he responds then let us listen and withhold judgement until the facts have have been established. let us avoid speculation and prejudgement. That’s democracy isn’t it?
Borja Rosillo

All who are threatening and judging a person without the benefit of doubt should look at themselves. I find it disgusting¡¡¡
It´s not only Ken who you talk about, but also his family. I know very well all of then, I am proud to be friends with them, to have lived at their house and see how all of them have done greats efforts to keep going¡¡
You all know who you should send your threats to? The answer is Mugabe, he has ruined your country and made all of you act like this.

I would really like to hear Ken’s comment on this open media , our family name is in the firing line , let’s hear !

Hi Heather, my heart goes out to all the family…. what with being in the firing line like this. I spoke to Mr Drummond on Friday when I went in to do some typing for him and he actually made sense. I am begging you, Mr Drummond, to write something here in your defence as a few other people have asked you to do. Hope you and Gerhard are well, Heather.

Heather Nel

you were supposed to work for him for a while but decided to only stay till Friday because of all this B…. S….. so I dont see where your heart goes out to the family, if it did you would be there, asisting in the office ., so please decide which side of the fence you are on. Actions speak louder than words.

Fairness supporter

Sorry you see it in that light, Heather. But I actually am very obedient to my husband. What he says goes. My allegiance lies with my husband. And Ken understood that i didn’t want to be in that kind of situation. so please understand, MY HEART DOES GO OUT TO YOU ALL.
Fairness supporter

Our farm was also taken, Heather, but I am not blaming Ken. I am just asking him to defend himself against all the other accusations, ok?

Zim Facts

We likewise really urge Mr. Drummond to make his statement! Perhaps we’ll get our farms back! With statements in hand we can then approach Zimuto himself in effort to explain that this was all just a BIG mistake!

Mushongabvudzi

Their efforts to keep going have been by means that can be described as underhand, cunning, evil etc! threats must be sent to ALL evil people like Drummond. You are obviously a mate of his, so give him a call & ask him to defend himself!
Sarah

If you know him well and support his actions then you are cut from the same cloth. If I were a family member or friend of his I would disown him. He is hurting other families and removing peoples livelihoods. His very existence is a tragedy. Basically by defending him you are condoning a criminals behaviour. As you have lived in his house you have obviously benefitted from his plunder. You disgust me equally.
Bev

Drummond is no better than Mugabe! Do you think everyone else is lying?
Thank goodness his honourable father isn’t around to see the shame Ken Drummond had brought to his family name.

Gregwhat51

Two things don’t look good for Ken. First is SW radio published the story in the first place and they have a good reputation in expose’s. Second is that “Ox Hacking” claims to be on the ground and has first hand confirmation of Ken’s involvement. Why do the commentators differentiate between Ken and Zimuto? First ken is a white farmer and does not appear to believe in justice, or democracy, or freehold title or rule of law. He was in a position of privilege and he should know better than to abuse a position of power and he should know better. Zimuto? Well if he really is a war vet then he will not have had a great experience with “democracy” and secondly as a person who sees the gravy train as his only way of succeeding. And with an assumed name of “Black Jesus” well you have got to allow for reduced responsibility and make a few excuses for him.

Is it just a coincidence that the other Drummonds are still farming chickens in Norton on a farm next door to the president ?

It is common sense and one of the bible’s commandments to not make false accusations. How would you like it if someone publicly accused you of wrong doing because someone who happens to have the same surname as you ‘apparently’ did something wrong. You are a tyrant when you do things like this.

This is the time for Kenny’s family to stand by him, speak with him, and prey he is open and honest with them. This will place all in a better position to judge and be judged. I feel for the family, I knew them well, and if I could I would confront Kenny and encourage him to speak out. I am sure all of us have done wrong in our lives, and I agree we are not the judge and jury, but get Kenny to give his side of the story. Those of us who lived in Rhodesia, partook in, or witnessed things, we would rather forget. Circumstances on occasions called for drastic measures, and this was on both sides. So forget the past judgments you wish to lump on Kenny, let him answer or reply to the present accusations.

With all due respect to Ken Drummonds family, friends, lovers and supporters, who like any other of us who would support our family members or cose friends when the chips are down, you need to know that you are not the ones who have been victims of your beloved Kenny who has been there for you. There are many people in this country and Im sure elsewhere that have been crushed by this ruthless man, who will stop at nothing to get his own way,(take a quick look around the conservancy and speak to the evicted owners) and now I hear from an MDC MP that he is now supporting MDC on the quiet, making his bed compfy in case things change soon. A turncoat of note, a man of no moral fibre who cares less for his fellow man and is prepared to support the authors of the gakurahundi, and the murderers of the gallant farmers who stood their ground in the face of the evil he OPENLY supports. Family, wake up and smell the roses, and see ken for what and who he is and try to help him change his ways instead of sitting in a huddle trying to protect him. One does not condem prosperity, but how you get it, and of course those close to Ken enjoy the fruits of his underhanded labour and it serves them well not to question how it made its bloody way into his pocket. Oh by the way he is not the only one, there are others, quite a few in fact, but none quite so ruthless maybe…men we all know.This day had to come, and you know,sadly I am not surprised, Its “the nature of the beast!” ” Life is but a vapor” Someone once said, “When you die, be ready to die” God Bless Zimbabwe

A lot of these comments have detracted the published article! This said most of us fear to speak out and so we find opportunities as such to bring it out into the open! There is an ” atomic cluster ” of emotion out there and so people need to speak out. It will be heard! There is nothing to be afraid of! A school boy bully will torment you for as long as you allow it! Stand up and take a bold stand! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

….. and a message for you Ken! It is not too late for you! For once in your life look within and make that change! Rekindle that character that we used to so admire so many years ago!

for all of you who say shame for ken and his family,i say shame for you. as you have not had your lifes work taken away from you, your life turned upside down and left with nothing or nowhere to go. so infact long as you have food on your table it does not affect you in anyway.The farmers who have lost there farms to people like ken are the heros, they they did not have to steel to get where they are today,they worked for it,its brainless gerbles like ken who cant think for themselfs that have to steel a fully functional business cause he cant do it for himself. he has sold his sole to zpf and there is no escape.Some of you might remember a few months ago ken on the front page of the bulawayo newspaper at a zanu meeting.the bigger you ar the harder you fall. His fall has started.

Ken Drummond is a disgrace and a revolting human being. He wants hunting rights for a dwindling wildlife population that needs conservation not slaughter. He is an overfed, sickening, oozing wound on the back of human kind. Bad things happen to peopel that do bad things Ken. Enjoy your plunder while it lasts. Soon you will be rotting in the afterlife with your Black Jesus to keep you company.
And as for your family and friends – shame on you all. SHAME!
Good versus Bad

Some 6 years ago my husband took ill and through the inefficiencies of the medical aid was declined coverage. I was informed that I either needed to remove him immediately or cough up the then Z$750 000.00 to cover the bill to date. I could not remove my husband, he was extremely ill and I had nowhere to turn. The company I worked for at the time loaned me Z$600 000 and Ken Drummond “gave” not lent – “gave” me the balance of money I needed to pay the hospital. In the interim he expressed his desire to assist where possible even to the extent of having my husband transferred to SA. My husband was in desperate need of blood which was not available at the time and I sat slowly watching my husband deteriorate before my eyes. I thank God everyday for His divine intervention and I today have a happy, healthy husband. Please understand that I do not condone what Mr Drummond may have done in the past, what he may be doing in the present, or what may transpire in the future, I do however know that none of us have the right to “cast the first stone!”. I know that I am going to be bombarded by all sorts of responses, but I will tell you this, I did not resort to posting the internet full of threats when the medical aid did not cough up, I simply made a plan to get ahead. Yes this is not in anyway in the same league as the current allegations, but we all need to stand back and take a long hard look at ourselves. Are we without faults, have we never hurt anyone, or done someone an injustice in one way or another – I don’t think so. Each and everyone one of us will be judged according to our deeds and actions, not one of us will have to answer for what Ken Drummond has done, but we will most surely have to answer for our wrongdoings. Let us concentrate on fixing our own wrongs and let the Drummonds concentrate on fixing theirs. There is good in each and everyone of us – lets try and bring that to the forefront. Our God works in mysterious ways – let Him do His job instead of us all wanting to do it for Him.

Heather Nel

Thank you for your responce. that is how I know my brother.

Lil

Heather. Do you condone your brother’s actions regarding his wife? Surely you cannot condone his living with another woman whilst still married to your sister-in-law. Where are the morals there. I would say that if Ken is immoral in his personal life, it stands to reason that he would be equally immoral in his business life. Do you know what he and his consort did to the consort’s two elder sons then aged 8 and 9? Did you condone that? They were abducted from their home in South Africa where they had been living with their father for two years. They were taken out of school and put into a nursery school run by one of your relations for one and a half years because Petra would not admit them. Petra knew that they were illegally in the country. Their mother, Ken’s consort, is still charged with abduction under the International Child Abduction Act. Who paid for and continues to pay for the consort’s court case? Who has used his influence in the Zimbabwe courts? Your brother. It is disgusting. The two little boys are the ones who have suffered. Seems to me that Ken will always take what he wants regardless of the consequences to any one else.

Heather Nel

It is not a case of condoning what he did to his wife.I was very sad to hear of the break up between Ken And Di.. These sad things happen in the best of famalies, He is is not the first or the last to seperate from his wife as sad as it may be. But I did admire the fact that Ken has never run Dianne down to others, and has been fair to her even so far as to the fact that she is still living in the family home that Ken & I grew up in.
IT was not an easy step for him to take, he and I spent many hours chatting on the phone about it, he was broken up because of the fact that he was about do something that was going to hurt Di and his children as much as he knew it would.
But even long before he met Antionette there was already an irritrivable break down in his relationship with Dianne.It is only because they are two very fine people and tried to live with the situation that no one knew about it, not even me.
there is a chinese saying that is very true,” Dont judge a man till you have walked a mile in his shoes”
As for Antionette and her children any mother will fight tooth and nail for her children, and if she did nothing about getting her children, you big mouths would have something to say about that too.
It is so sad that so many people are so gullable as to beleive all the trash that is printed. there must be so many jealous people out there,as only jelousy can make one so ugly and nasty. Ken has been successful but it has come from sheer hard work and determination,and the hard work and backing of his family and for no other reason.

Zim Facts

If you can table the facts do so! if not don’t be quick to ” blacken ” your own character simply because of what you have been told. Just present the facts to substantiate your intentions and take it from there. There are many out there who can so we urge you to do so!

We likewise urge Ken to stand up in defense of himself! We believe that any further silence on his part will further concrete the the claims against him!

In the mean time lets rather use this open media constructively. Those who have grievances, pull together and bring these stories in to the fore’ It’s time to stand up!
Zim Facts

Heather, with all due respect we can only admire your family loyalties. We have no quarrel with you! You were adopted into a solid family and so it is no surprise that we should find it extremely surprising that Ken has gone off at a tangent!

It seems you are so sure of your opinions! Would you consider getting yourself to Zimbabwe so as to avail yourself to all those who have had business dealings with Ken? Would you avail yourself to those who have lost their land? … or are you so convinced that there is only Kens side to this story?

What about his wife who sits on Rocky Glen? Have you taken time to listen to her story?

Do yourself a favor and open your eyes! Where there is smoke there is fire! Reading through all the comments you begin to realize the extent at which people will go to express their frustration. These are not spontaneous, random ” throw ins ” for the sake of good reading!… these are genuine heart cries from people who know, people who have had dealings with Ken and people who have had their lives ” damaged ” through their dealings with Ken.

From an emotional point of view Ken portrays himself as the most amazing, most loving character and this he may well be at that emotional level in which you as family would be listed! … but beyond that, when it comes to his business ethic and dealings, you have no idea!

As for Mitch, your Dad what an amazing man. His heart and soul never left the farm! The day he left was the day he lost all his purpose and dignity! He felt as much as an old worn out boot!…no longer fit for another mile! As for being a pauper! … he may have had all the money at his fingertips yet he felt he could never ask! Mitch and I used to talk and so I knew where his heart was. Your efforts at the end did not go unnoticed!

Whether you would like to believe it not the situation on the ground here involving Ken is extremely serious and especially for the Drummond family as a whole!

god bless you

I must confess that I have never met the man but have heard many stories from just as many people about thim and what kind of a person he is. One of these people works for him. If it were just one person expressing their disgust in his mis doing I may understand it as a personal issue but when there are so many people who have had direct contact with him and have formed the same opinion then surely there should be some truth. e is still on his farm. It really doesnt need a brian surgeon to figuI do know that he has donated cows for various ZANU PF gatherings and yes I belive that it is through his accosiation with them that hre that one out. The same can be said for Charles Davey. Unfortunately these men care only for them selves. We however are not to judge or seek revenge as the lord cleary says vengence is mine. Unfortunately Ken himself may never be disciplined by God but his children may suffer for his mis deeds. I realise that he himself probably doesnt care about this but surely a mother should have some concerns. We stopped buying our chickens from him or anyone else that sold his chickens a long time ago based on the knowledge of his association with ZANU PF. We did realise at the time that it made no impact on his business empire, but did give us some sense of pride in that we were able to say we dont condone his way of doing things.

I wish Mr Drummond well for the future. He will have a much higher authority to answer to than any ex farmer or high ranking ZANU PF cadre.

I know about Ken and what he is up to in the low-veld. He does not wish to comment on the issue because already he has received his judgement. And he accepts it like any strong willed businessman wishing to build an Empire through different ages of his time.
Ken actually is not instigating any invasions. He how ever seeks to help black farmers who have been given hunting concessions but the government. Which i don’t condone at all. We must all understand that new farmers don’t have experience in farming and will however destroy the going concerns they have taken over.
My belief personally is that invasions are wrong and land redistribution should be done in a totally different manner that benefits the country. the international arena should have been engaged and an agreement set up to alleviate white farmers for their loss in land and income. There are as many white who are truly patriotic to Zimbabwe and really want to be associated with the country.

We understand life has to go on. What do we really wish for in Zimbabwe. We have already moved in one direction and there is no government in the future that can ever reverse the land reform whether it was correct or wrong. its amazing the polarity that has just emerged after the land invasions. Black people especially the elite and middle class just hate white people. Adversity like that will be hard to reverse.

Now that this has happened whats the way forward, perhaps we need to see a new type of businessman who wants to work with black people and forge good relations with the black community. Guys its obvious at some point white farmers will be paid for their land. Lets work together and build a better Zimbabwe. ken simply can talk and understands black people and culture and has taught his children the same. Its called doing business in Africa. Things just dont work like they do in the first world, and wont for a long time. Guys its simple either stay and adapt or move to where your skin is majority and life goes on. For some of us it will be sad to see good people leave.

Guys we have destroyed the country, lets work with the government of the day and build the country. have you seen your so called new kids on the block the MDC. they might even be worse than Zanu. All the fancy cars….They living the life already. Who wants to step down from all that.

Guys think again. Ken wouldnt instigate an invasion against a fellow white farmer. He might have to talk and associate with Zanu to keep his land and put food on the table. A lot of white farmers tried the same approach but it was too late. they are some of you attaching Ken but have connections in Zanu and are trying to get their farms back.

Doe3908

The maturity that you have displayed in your comment and the insight into living in Africa and the realities thereof are inspiring. I know Ken Drummond very well and its all about Zimbabweans working together to achieve greater things. Unfortunately whether we like it or not the Land Distribution is a fact and if white farmers and new settlers could come to a working relationship I see it as a win win situation. All the mud-slinging into Ken’s private life is petty and rather pathetic, I’m sure that there are more important things to do than that. Thank you for your comment

Fisherman

An interesting observation from a member of the Chiredzi community…..”Ken Drummond has been marked by the local and Masvingo based chefs, his involvement in the more recent land actions have caused concerns”. This comment came actually through a black business man in Chiredzi. It would appear that Mr. Drummond’s attempts to ingratiate himself with the local ruling thugs will be his downfall – I certainly hope that, when all is said and done, Mr Drummond gets his just desserts from both sides of the fence – by the sounds of it, this will be sooner rather than later. Watch your back Mr. Drummond, I certainly believe that your life is about to get very complicated!
