"Vacate Immediately Or Face The Wrath Of The Law": Govt Tells illegally Resettled Farmers

Government has ordered illegally resettled farmers to vacate the land or face the wrath of the law. This was said by Minister of Lands, Agriculture and Rural Resettlement, Air Marshal Perrance Shiri (Rtd) during a media briefing with journalists.

Said Shiri:

If we are to meet the goals set out by Government to use agriculture as the mainstay of the economy, we need to ensure unquestionable sanity on the farms. To achieve that, the Zimbabwe Land Commission shall be seized with the responsibility of settling land disputes emanating from resettled farmers and shall report to the Minister from time to time. Constitutionalism should be the guiding principle and as such behaviour and actions not conforming to this are not permissible under whatever circumstances. Only those people with documentation of land occupancy and or those who were allocated land legitimately should remain on the farms and concentrate on production unhindered. All those who were illegally settled or who just settled themselves on resettlement land should vacate immediately.
