SOUNDBITE: (English) Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwean President "We shall keep a watchful eye on what is happening on the farms. Those who think Ian Smith can rally the white folk as he did in the UDI (Unilaterally Declared Independence by the government in 1965) days and rally them for another war should think again when there is still time for them to do so. That is all I am going to say to them at this stage. All genuine and well meaning white farmers who wish to pursue a farming career as loyal citizens of this country have land to do so. We have been generous. No farmer we said need go without land. But what we will not accept is that they should have two farms, more farms, 135,000 hectares. To all this, no." 15. Cutaway wide shot crowds 16. SOUNDBITE: (English) Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwean President "We are not for sale, Zimbabwe is not for sale and Zimbabwe is for Zimbabweans. We are not for the highest bidder in Europe or elsewhere. And let Mr Blair hear it - indeed we are not for the British leader either." 17. Cutaway military officer 18. SOUNDBITE: (English) Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwean President "Our heroes would scorn us if we turned out to be a mere banana republic which waxes and wanes as pleases the powerful. They (the heroes) expect us to be brittle, very brittle, rigid and enduring when it comes to our sovereignty and personality. Britain, Europe and America can impose sanctions or do worse devilish things. Let Europe in the name of their monstrous god banish all holy men as they have done with the likes of Bishop Kunonga (in favour of white farm seizures)." 19. Wide shot crowds 20. Wide shot men carrying banner saying 'Zimbabwe will never be a colony again' STORYLINE: President Robert Mugabe on Monday ordered white farmers defying eviction orders to pack up and leave Zimbabwe but said loyal farmers willing to cooperate with his government would not be left landless. After ignoring government orders throwing them off their land, hundreds of white farmers had anxiously awaited Mugabe's annual Hero's Day address to the nation, marking the guerrilla war that ended white rule more than two decades ago. The deadlock between white farmers and the government continued for a fourth day on Monday. Farmers remaining on their land reported no official action to evict them by force since the deadline at midnight on Thursday. Mugabe stopped short of calling for immediate action against defiant farmers but said those who wanted another war should think again while there was still time. Mugabe said no white farmer need go without land but his government would not allow whites to remain on large properties or own more than one farm while clinging to ties with Britain, the former colonial power.
