Zimbabwe’s attorney general on Thursday said the government will appeal
against a ruling made this week in the North Gauteng High Court in favour of
white Zimbabwean farmers.
The ruling allows dispossessed Zimbabwean farmers to sell off Zimbabwean
state assets in South Africa. The property will be sold at public auctions
to compensate white farmers for property seized under the land reform
programme.
Attorney-General Johannes Tomana said the Pretoria ruling was based a
decision by the disbanded Southern African Development Community (SADC)
Tribunal.
He said Zimbabwe will not accept the ruling and will now appeal the matter.
Tomana told the official Herald newspaper that he believes the matter was
politicised ahead of this weekend’s SADC summit.
