Harare — Zimbabwe is to start paying compensation in 2019 to thousands of white farmers who lost land under former president Robert Mugabe's land reform nearly two decades ago, the government said, as it seeks to bring closure to a highly divisive issue.
But land reform still divides public opinion as opponents see it as a partisan process that left the country struggling to feed itself. “The registration process and list of farmers should be completed by the end of April 2019, after which the interim advance payments will be paid directly to former farm owners,” Zimbabwe's ministries of finance and agriculture said in a joint statement on Monday.
A committee comprising government officials and former farm owners is currently valuing improvements made on the farms. That process should end next month and will determine the full amount due to the farmers.
They should use the money to educate Zimbabweans on how to farm and support them.
That payout seems more like a massive IOU as it is not in hard currency..are the Zimbabwean Reserve bank liquid enough to back up the numbers?
