More farmers leave
Posted: Monday, August 12, 2002Herald Reporter
MOST of the 1 600 white commercial farmers who have lost ownership of their pieces of land through the land resettlement programme left their properties over the weekend without any protest.
However, it is believed that a handful of the farmers, who had up to Saturday night to leave their farms, might have ignored the Government deadline although no such cases have been identified yet.
Police have also not handled any such cases although they have said they are on the lookout for those who break the law.
Police spokesman Assistant Commis-sioner Wayne Bvudzijena yesterday said most of the commercial farmers who had up to Saturday to leave their properties had complied with the Government’s directive while others were still packing their belongings.
"We have not received any reports of resistance from commercial farmers who have been served with the eviction orders to vacate their properties so far. We can safely say that the process is going on smoothly,’’ said Asst Comm Bvudzijena. MOREPrinter friendly version
