Zimbabwe PM Morgan Tsvangirai Calls Land Seizures “Acts of Theft”

Zimbabwe’s Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has openly challenged a land reform policy put in place by President Robert Mugabe, calling the practice of government sponsored land seizures “acts of theft” and promising to arrest those who take part in the invasions.

Tsvangirai was speaking before a group of diplomats, civic society and business leaders when he challenged the land seizures saying, “This government is aware that most of the ongoing disruptions of agricultural production, which are being done in the name of the land reform process, are actually acts of theft.”

The PM went on to say, “Those continuing to undertake these activities will be arrested and face justice in the courts.”

Mugabe has long stood by his land reform initiative which has advocated the seizure of white-owned farms and he has vowed to continue the initiative despite challenges from not only Tsvangirai but the Southern African Development Community as well.

Tsvangirai has blamed the land reform policy for destroying Zimbabwe’s economy as much of the seized land has gone unused and the country faces continued food shortages.
