00:01White farmers who refused to go are now running an increasing risk of violence.
00:06Duke Miller and his wife Henley were asleep when the farmhouse that has been their home for 40 years was
00:12burnt to the ground.
00:13Both were lucky to escape with their lives.
00:16Mr Muller was badly burned, but he's still talking of staying on.
00:21You know, if you're born here, if you're raised here, if you love a country, if it's your home,
00:25if you've built in everything virtually from scratch over 40 years,
00:30then it's not that easy to just leave everything and go.
00:34There's nowhere else for us to go to.
00:38There is still work on Mr Muller's farm.
00:41Although his tobacco crop has been decimated after two years of invasions,
00:46production of wheat and maize has been halted,
00:48and 200 head of cattle have been stolen or slaughtered by militants trying to drive him out.
00:56Terry Hind has given up, the first farmer to be forcibly evicted since last week's deadline,
01:01ordering nearly 3,000 white landowners to leave.
01:05There's no logic to it in that they're resettling 50 families on the farm,
01:12whereas I employ 70 or 80 families on the farm.
01:15So there's no logic to it at all.
01:17But politics and logic obviously don't go together.
01:21And the wreckage at Duke Muller's farm was a sharp reminder of the risks now faced by those who refuse
01:28to give in.
01:29There's no sympathy from the government.
01:32Zimbabwe's agriculture minister accused the farmers themselves of orchestrating the violence,
01:37of hiring imposters posing as militants to attack them.
01:40It was, he said, a way of whipping up support abroad.
01:44Tim Hewitt, ITV News, Johannesburg.
01:47It's important to see the flashback of the American people in the South America.
01:47There's no way of whipping up support for that.
01:47It's a path to the Pilate Sydney.
