ZIMBABWE is to begin compensating white farmers who lost their properties when Robert Mugabe began seizing farms in 2000, ZimEye can reveal
in a move announced by Finance Minister Patrick Chinamsa Thursday morning.
This follows pressure from the Danish government on the compensation matter. This was bound to happen since Zimbabwe’s economy is in negative drive and it’s only way forward is to be at peace with western governments, commented ZimEye Business Editor, Simbarashe Chikanza.
“I told my counterpart here, under our constitution we have an obligation to compensate white farmers for improvements as you know,….” said Chinamasa.
He added: “If there is any failure at the moment, it’s the same failure that we have to service our debt. It’s not out of should we say, lack of an intention not to compensate, but out of lack of resources to compensate. So get it clear, we are committed to compensating white farmers for the improvements that we took over, and its enshrined in our constitution. What remains is implementing our constitution when resources are available,” he said. CLICK HERE TO HEAR CHINAMASA’S PRESSER

Gain Sibanda Mugabe’s ill-gotten wealth stashed abroad and frozen assets in the name of the regime plus blood diamond money laundered by the Mugabe’s obedient sons and cronies surely is able to compensate the white farmers as well as rolling out the dreamy ZIMASET project. -

easy solution. if you don’t have money to pay the white farmers, pay them in land. Grace has more than she can say grace over, give them some of hers.

It is a good move but the only problem is that there was no audit done to estimate losses incurred by the white farmers. Sitting farmers who benefited must also contribute something.

Why is paying what is due to farmers Breaking News? When is the govt going to start paying the farmers? When govt has money and when will that be? With the economy in a free fall where is Treasury going to get money to pay farmers when it is failing to pay doctors better salaries? Treasury is even struggling to pay civil servants salaries and so why promise to do what u cant do? This sounds like an empty promise.

The poor tax payer will pay for the farms grabbed by the selfish politicians and their cronies. This includes farm houses, swimming pools, tennis courts, fish ponds, horse stables, dairies, abbotoirs, harvesters, tractors, green houses etc. In other words, we are buying all that staff and comfort frm the whites on behalf of the chefs like Chinamasa himself.
