Commercial Farmers in Zim to sue Mugabe"s Party

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Commercial Farmers in Zim to sue Mugabe"s Party

Harare – Zimbabwe’s white farmers have lost an estimated 14,5-billion Zimbabwe dollars’ (R260-million) (US$26 million) worth of property through seizure or looting in a two-year campaign of often violent farm seizures, a farmers’ group said at the weekend. Quoting economists, Justice for Agriculture (JAG), which is a splinter group of the mainly white Commercial Farmers’ Union (CFU) said that “14,5 billion Zimbabwe dollars’ worth of moveable assets have been illegally impounded or looted since February 2000.” The figure was included in a statement released on Saturday. The seizure of the properties by ruling party supporters has been in support of a government land reform programme that has targeted as much as 95 percent of white-owned land for redistribution to landless blacks. JAG says it intends to sue the ruling Zanu PF after it has completed working out the total losses sustained by both farmers and farm workers. “This could be one of the biggest law suits in Zimbabwe or externally under applicable laws,” the JAG statement added. An estimated 2 900 white farmers will have to vacate their properties by midnight this Thursday as a government deadline for farm takeovers runs out, according to the CFU.
