President Robert Mugabe’s party said it plans to remove all remaining white
farmers from the land.
The proposed take-over of another 198 white-owned farms is contained in a
report made public at the ZANU-PF annual party conference that ends on
Saturday.
The report said the white-owned farms that have not yet been listed for
resettlement.
The ZANU-PF central committee said the farms are needed for redistribution
to new black farmers or for urban expansion.
It said another 223 white farmers are facing prosecution for failing to
vacate their land.
The president of the Commercial Farmers Union said the move to take over
previously unlisted farms is “absurd”.
Charles Taffs told Eyewitness News that Zimbabwe is desperate for investment
and the country is facing its worst food deficit in 100 years.
