15 farmers charged
Posted: Saturday, July 6, 2002FIFTEEN white commercial farmers in Chiredzi, south of the country, have been charged with defying a Government directive to cease farming operations on designated farms as a High Court judge granted one farmer a 10-day reprieve to challenge the directive.
The farmers, who recorded warned and cautioned statements at Chiredzi Police, were charged for contravening the Land Acquisition (Amendment) Act.
In one of the warned and cautioned statements sent to The Herald and signed on Thursday, the police noted that the farmers had contravened section 8 (7) of the Land Acquisition (Amendment) Act.
The ban to cease farming activities on the land came into effect last week.
Police were not immediately available for comment. MOREPrinter friendly version
