The new farmers, who were given thriving safari operations during the chaotic land reform exercise, reap massive profits in foreign currency by inviting hunters from Western countries.
“It has been made very clear to us that we have to donate in foreign currency to Zanu (PF)’s fundraising campaign, or risk eviction,” one of the new farmers said.
Zanu (PF)’s provincial treasurer, Lewis Phiri confirmed that the party was targeting the farmers to raise the bulk of their targeted $2 billion.
“During the years of colonialism, white commercial farmers supported the Rhodesian Front,” he said. “In the same way, indigenous farmers should support their ruling party financially and materially.” – Zimonline
