Harare - White farmers are once again facing evictions in Zimbabwe. Despite the widespread perception that President Robert Mugabe's land reform benefited only the wealthy, experts say it redistributed land to hundreds of thousands of rural poor.

A new wave of invasions of white-owned farms has hit Zimbabwe, with the opposition accusing ruling party officials of "grabbing" land for themselves.

"We received a phone call from someone called Colonel Nkatazo that we should move off our farm," said Scott Hunter, who was evicted from his maize and wheat farm near Harare in September.
