Innocent Victims by Catherine Buckle
During the Zimbabwean land invasions, as farmers and families were forced from their homes to make way for Mugabes war veterans, many had to leave their animals behind. It was Meryl Harrisons mission on behalf of the under-funded ZNSPCA to go into these destroyed farmsteads to rescue countless domestic animals and wounded livestock.
Catherine Buckle(Cathy) was born in 1957 in Harare, Zimbabwe. She trained as a Social Worker at the University of Zimbabwe and graduated with a diploma in Social Work in 1978. She later trained as a Librarian and worked as the School Librarian and Head Counsellor at an Harare girls senior school. Cathy was the Estate Manager of a small conservation education game park – the Mukuvisi Woodlands – just outside Harare for 9 years, where she was involved in raising baby elephants, crocodiles and general game and conservation management. Cathy has four children’s novels in print in Zimbabwe, one of which is a set book for English Literature students in Zimbabwean government schools. Since 2000 Cathy has had eight non-fiction books published on the crisis in Zimbabwe: African Tears (serialised in the UK Sunday Times), Beyond Tears; Can you Hear the Drums; Millions, Billions, Trillions; When Winners are Losers; Finding our Voices; Sleeping Like a Hare; and Surviving Zimbabwe. Cathy has published two non-fiction books on wildlife and conservation in Zimbabwe: Imire, the Life and Times of Norman Travers; and Rundi, Hand Rearing Baby Elephants. Cathy writes a weekly letter from Zimbabwe about events there. This letter is used by a number of media outlets – radio, newspaper and web sites, in South Africa, the UK, Canada and Australia. The letter is also published on her own website www.cathybuckle.co.zw.
