President Robert Mugabe has declared that no white person will be allowed to own land except for companies as stipulated in the laws of the country.
Mugabe said Wednesday while launching the Model A1 Settlement Permit at Chipfundi Farm Lions’ Den in Mashonaland West.
“They can own industries and companies or stay in apartments in our towns but cannot own land. We hear in some cases they are being protected by cabinet ministers and politicians within their constituencies. We will deal with that,” said Mugabe.
“One of the major objectives of the liberation struggle was to evict the white settlers from the land since they had the option of going back to their countries of origin,” he said.
Mugabe said that blacks had to regain the land robbed from their parents by whites.
