Gerrie de Villiers, a white farmer, was driving along a dirt road that borders Zimbabwe when he set off the first Czech-made antitank land mine. He escaped unhurt. About half a mile away, Elijah Makagamatha, a black truck driver, triggered a similar device. He too was unharmed, but the blast shattered the legs of a passenger. The next day another mine explosion killed a 25-year-old black driving a tractor.
