WASHINGTON DC—Zimbabwe has designated more white-owned farms for compulsory acquisition despite recent assurances by Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa that the remaining 200 or so white commercial farms would be spared
from the government's controversial land reform program.
Last year President Robert Mugabe told a meeting to launch the A1 Model Settlement Tenure Permits in Mashonaland West that whites should not own land in Zimbabwe.
“We say no to whites owning our land and they should go. Don’t be too kind to white farmers. Land is yours, not theirs,” he said then.
However, his deputy, Mnangagwa, sang a different tune while addressing party supporters at a rally in Masvingo’s Mucheke Stadium soon after the enshrinement of a train station which was turned into a national monument.
