The farms that I'm talking about are the ones not subject to the SADC tribunal ruling but the ones being seized on the back of orders being issued by the Lnads Minister. These ones are fresh farm invasions so the farmers had every right to plant crops. That is the stupidity when the nation is starving invade farms purely because they are owned and run by whites destroying crops and livestock. At least if the white farmers are going to be evicted then do it in an orderly fashion with a transfer of the livestock and the cropsharvested rather than left to rot. Unfortunately Zimbabwe does not have a good record in this area as the farms are often looted and then left idle and fallow- it is a great pity in a country which has such rich farmland that the people are starving. Why didn't Mugabe and Zanu-PF do something about it when there in government?
