Welcome to Africa!
That would be scary.

A family friend's brother & sister in law had an 80 acre farm in Zimbabwe, built it up over 25 years and employed ~60 locals. When things started to get spooky, they were assured by their employees that they were well liked and not in jeopardy. But some out-of-town agitators got folks stirred up one weekend, and they barely made it out with their lives. A handful of their loyal employees helped get them out.

Outcome:
-25 years of hard work and investment down the drain
-farm overgrown and non-productive
-60 people unemployed
