        Wether you miss the compensation part or not, the sacred fact remains that no one brought land from Europe to Africa.

        Till Tony Blair, British agreed to fund the land reform on a willing buyer, willing seller principle for redistribution to the majority blacks. Farmers who were unwilling to stay in Zimbabwe would be bought out by funds provided by the British through the Zimbabwean government.

        You've repossessed your land but yet still #Zimbabaweans are hungry? Perhaps you might revisit your policy to consider the "hungry" people!

        Was it a principle or an act. Mnagagwa is definitely going to repeal and replace Zimbabwe’s Agenda for Socio Economic Transition. Why? Because it was manufactured by the G40 cabal. Let us realize that Mugabeism lives on forever and a new guard can only facilitate

        Stop that already. Whose land? Was it not white land? It is communist to do that and is inexcusable.
