Last night farmers in the Chegutu area, south of Harare, were all called into the police station in Chegutu and were "re-educated" in a lecture on how to vote.

They were told that if they or their workers voted for MDC in an election run-off they would not be allowed to farm anymore and would be evicted.

They were then told they would be escorted back to their farms this morning and the war veterns and militia that have been harrassing them would be called off the farms. Many of them have been living in the town for security reasons after the vicious attack on the Rogers family on the 6th of May which left Mr. and Mrs. Rogers with serious injuries. Their farmhouse was looted and trashed in the attack.
