Mugabe's policies have resulted in 4,000 white farmers being evicted
from their land by government enforcers since he moved to abolish
freehold title on farms in 2007.
New Finance Minister, Tendai Biti pledged last week to arrest any
further farm invasions but farm invasions have only increased.
In Chiredzi, a Police Officer Commanding Matabeleland North Senior
Assistant Commissioner Edmore Veterai has terrorised prominent white
farmers in Chiredzi regardless of the government calls to halt farm
invasions
Although the South African government has been consulted over these issues, nothing has been done for months.
On Tuesday, farmer Tom Venter was found guilty of failing to get off
his farm, while elsewhere in Zimbabwe, Simon Keevil received a summons
for the same offense. A day earlier, two white farmers were arrested
and two black farm managers were jailed because their employers weren't
there.
Zimbabweans are this year faced with starvation caused by food shortage.
