I am not from Zimbabwe, I only know to an extent about Zimbabwe. My issue is with commercial farmers going back to Zim. What are the implications of such a thing on the people? I get the feeling that some are for the return of the farmers. Let us keep race out of this one. So, Zim will continue to grow food for export while its own people cannot eat? How is that improvement of the quality of life? I think a nation should first care for its people before it worries about other people who already have someone worrying about their fate. It should be that until Zim can feed her people, she shouldn't try to feed foreigners. Otherwise this is more like slavery only this time its not forced. How can a nation work tirelessly to feed other nations when it has no food for itself?
Mugabe taking away the land is not worng. I think there was a lot of miscalculation or there was unfair redistribution based on politics instead of productivity. Mugabe should have had people that are well trained in that area of farming to take over the lands instead of just allocating it to friends and so on. Maybe he should have worried about people that would grow food for his people instead of the commercial farmers. Because there is no way it is fair for 20 percent of a population to own more than fifty percent of land most of which is the fertile land.!
