Long before the uprising in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and the Ivory Coast, Zimbabwe’s own Mr. Mike Campbell took on the biggest and badest thug of them all. He took on Robert Mugabe.
The late great Mr. Campbell was a commercial farmer who made legal history when he took President Mugabe to the international court of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Tribunal in 2007 and won the case a year later.
Mr. Campbell sadly passed away at his temporary home in Harare on April 6.He never recovered from the abduction and brutal beatings meted out to him, his wife Angela and son-in-law Ben Freeth by Zanu-PF thugs late at night in a remote militia camp on June 29, 2008 just two days after the Presidential run-off election.
Our thoughts and prays are the Campbell family and our hope is that his battle was not in vein.
