A WHITE former Zimbabwean commercial farmer says most landowners who were dispossessed of their farms during the country’s violent land grab programme post-2000 would prefer financial compensation as opposed to land offers by government.
Government recently inked a US$3,5 deal with farmer representative groups in what would see the use of the giant figure to compensate former landowners for infrastructural improvements they made on the properties.
Government has also left the door open for dispossessed farmers to return back to their land in what has been slammed by some opposition political parties and war veterans.
Speaking on the developments, Basil Green, now living and farming in Zambia, said it would be a big ask for the former landowners to return back to properties that have been run down by the new owners. – newzimbabwe
