A few days ago, a friend told me she heard a radio news report which said
that ranches and farms in the south of Zimbawe are being burnt down in order
to drive the farmers off. The south of Zimbabwe is semi-arid and most of the
farms are game farms or ranches and apparently the war vets are setting fire
to the farms and burning the animals to death with the aim of wiping out the
farmers.
Today I spoke to another friend who has family in the south of Zimbabwe
approximately 100 miles from the South African border. She confirmed that
indeed entire farms were being burnt to the ground.
I discovered a similar report below which speaks of farms being burnt down.
Here in South Africa we have recently had a spate of massive fires which also
burnt farms down and I have quietly heard some people suggest that this too
is a deliberate tactic. I would not be surprised.

Zim farm occupations displace 2 500 families print friendly version

“The region is being burnt out on a large scale through acts of arson – at at
least 4 500 hectares of land was burnt over the weekend”
Harare – Zimbabwe’s commercial farmers on Wednesday said fresh farm
disruptions in the prime farming district Hwedza have left at least 2 500
labourers and their families displaced. The Commercial Farmers Union (CFU)
said in a statement that work stoppages on 22 farms in the district have been
ordered by illegal occupiers. Workers on 14 affected farms have been forced
off the properties, said the CFU, which represents about 4 500 embattled
farmers. “In excess of 2 500 farm worker families have been displaced in the
district over the past 10 days,” the CFU said in a statement.
The CFU also reported an increase in burning of fields and eviction orders by
the self-styled war veterans and thousands of landless blacks who have
occupied hundreds of farms here for 19 months. “The region is being burnt out
on a large scale through acts of arson,” said the CFU, adding that at least 4
500 hectares of land was burnt over the weekend. A wave of widespread
destruction and looting two weeks ago in Chinhoyi, a farming region 100km
north-east Harare, left another 4 000 farm workers destitute. About 350
whites fled the district as mobs ransacked more than 50 farms.
President Robert Mugabe’s government has earmarked almost all white-owned
farms in Zimbabwe for resettlement with blacks, in a bid to correct
colonial-era inequities in ownership. Authorities originally said they would
resettle about half the white-owned land, or about five million hectares. The
area of white-owned farming land to be seized has now risen to 5 327 farms
totalling 9,5 million hectares. The white commercial farmers have offered 557
farms totalling 911 000 hectares to the government as part of an initiative
to help solve the land dispute.
The regular disruptions of the farms come as the traditionally
self-sufficient nation faces a looming food shortage, which Zimbabweans are
expected to begin to feel in the next few months. The government has finally
admitted the shortage, but downplayed the requirements saying only 100 000
tons of the staple maize would be required when experts insist that the
country will have to import 500 000 from neighbouring South Africa. Meantime,
six regional leaders are due to meet in Zimbabwe next month for a major
conference to tackle the country’s land reform row which has also seen
relations with its former colonial power, Britain, severely strained.
