Villagers 'storm Grace Mugabe's farm'

Hundreds of villagers stormed Zimbabwean former First Lady Grace Mugabe's farm yesterday, reports the private newspaper Newsday.

Mazowe villagers have been in conflict with the Mugabes over the disputed Arnold Farm for years.

"Because of Grace and her husband, we stayed at Arnold Farm like captives. They demolished our houses each time we tried to put up structures. They enjoyed it when we slept in the open with our grandchildren," Stella Nikisi told Newsday.

Newsday adds that villagers picketed at the gate of Grace Mugabe's orphanage while others sang revolutionary songs.
