Mille Mengi & Anold Kimaro lie to Moshi Police

Is this conduct that adds to Tanzania's investor friendly reputation? Mrs Millie Mengi refuses to remove some 120 cattle and a number of sheep and goats from Silverdale Farm, Moshi, Tanzania. Mengi has no legal right to the farms and no legal right to keep her animals there. British investor Stewart Mddleton has requested repeatedly that she remove them and Mengi refuses. The cattle are now responsible for over $20,000 to commercial crops on the farm.

On 3rd February 2007, the Guardian newspaper accused four members of Mr. Middleton's staff of attacking one Salim Habib, an employee of Benjamin Mengi with Pangas on Silverdale Farm without reason. The publication further stated that Mr. Middleton had stood by and watched the assault. This information was also broadcast on IPP Media Radio 1 Network. IPP Media newspaper the Nipashe carried a further article some days later stating that Mr. Middleton's staff were now 'on the run' having absconded from bail.

As a matter of public record, this was a blatant lie. As a matter of public record, no member of Mr. Middleton's staff had been arrested however, Salim Habib Mengi's cattle manager had been arrested and charged with Malicious Damage by driving forty head of adult cattle belonging to Mrs Millie Mengi onto a two hectare field of commercial maize on Silverdale Farm destroying crops and causing $20,000 of damage.

This video shows Mengi and Kimaro once again abusing the investors in their own home on Silverdale Farm. Kimaro is calling the police stating there is a big emergency on the farm. Clearly the video shows there is no such emergency and that Kimaro and Mengi his employer are lying. Kimaro is agressivley stating that the investors will see what is going to happen to them when the police arrive.

Their conduct brings shame on Tanzania and all that is is trying to achieve through foreign ivestment. It is an undignified disgrace!
