Martin (Marty) Olds : Lloyd 1969-1974; murdered
at his farm in the Nyamandhlovu district on April 18, 2000; quite
co-incidentally (?) the 20th anniversary of Zimbabwe
Independence. He was singled out by a large group of well-armed,
supposed war veterans, who all arrived at his farm in convoy and
systematically attacked him. (See reports from The Electronic
Telegraph in the OPs in the News section.) The
other irony is that Martin was awarded the Bronze Cross,
Zimbabwe's highest civilian award, in 1989 for saving a person
during a crocodile attack. His wife, Cathy, daughter, Martine,and
son, Angus moved to the UK soon after this incident and are trying piece their
lives together there. An
appeal had been launched by Marty's former classmate, James
Maberly, to provide financial assistance to the family. If you'd
