Retraction & apology
Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force (ZCTF)
November 24, 2012

Last month we circulated a report concerning the destruction of wetlands in Harare. In that report we stated that Ken Sharpe in conjunction with an international Christian organisation and Kentucky Fried Chicken intends to build a conference facility and theme park on wetlands in Meyrick Park and an enormous shopping centre on wetlands in Borrowdale. These statements were based on information which we were given by a source whom we considered on past experience to be reliable. However, we have since been informed by Kentucky Fried Chicken that it has no involvement whatsoever in the plans to develop the wetlands in Meyrick Park and Borrowdale.

On receipt of this advice from Kentucky Fried Chicken we went back to the source of the information and he was unable to back up the information he had previously given us with any evidence. We accept that Kentucky Fried Chicken has no involvement in the plans to develop the Meyrick Park and Borrowdale wetlands.

We therefore retract the allegation previously made against Kentucky Fried Chicken and are sending out this report to correct the erroneous information, which we previously published. We apologise sincerely to Kentucky Fried Chicken and regret any embarrassment caused by the incorrect report.
