us to live in peace. My brother-in-law is insistent. Maybe he is really happy to see us suffer. At my age, where can I go? I cannot start afresh.49 Bethel, 41, lives near Bulawayo and said she was surprised at her brother-in-law’s attempts to take her property after her husband died in 2013: Before my husband was even buried, my brother-in-law was making moves. He was running around from [government] office to [government] office. He tried to get my husband’s pension. They [officials] said it wasn’t ready but that he needed the death certificate for it. He got the death certificate by saying that his brother [my husband] was a widower … I learned about three weeks after my husband’s death that I was [being] left out. He took my car. I was surprised that this happened. We were a close family.50 Annabelle, 50, lives near Bulawayo and told Human Rights Watch that things were relatively quiet with her in-laws in 2013 when her husband passed away. It was a surprise when they began harassing her years later: In January 2016, [my in-laws] came and fought with me. The police were called and said that the in-laws needed a court order to evict me. My inlaws wanted me to leave so that they could rent out my house. I raised the money to hire a lawyer. The lawyer helped. He advised me not to leave the house. I had to pay the lawyer US$300 in advance, and I sold a cabinet to do so. My husband never got along with them. I wish the lawyer would do something to prevent the family from coming back. It worries me and I want to have peace. 49 Human Rights Watch interview with Deborah, May 25, 2016. 50 Human Rights Watch interview with Bethel, May 31, 2016. “YOU WILL GET NOTHING” 22
