Elderly white farmers first in line for payouts, Zimbabwe’s Mnangagwa says

Harare — The Zimbabwe government will give priority to elderly white farmers when it starts compensating those who lost their properties during the controversial land reforms, the president said in an interview published on Sunday.

In an interview with the state-owned Sunday Mail newspaper, President Emmerson Mnangagwa said that the estimated value of the improvements on the farms would be Z$3bn and that the government is not under pressure to pay all farmers. “We don’t pay compensation to those who are fit. Our constitution bids us to pay for improvements on land. We do not pay for land because no one brought land to Zimbabwe.

Critics blame the evictions for a collapse in agricultural production that forced Africa’s one-time bread basket to become dependent on imported food to feed its population.
