Zimbabwe 'to arrest land thieves'
« on: March 27, 2009, 03:23:02 PM »

Zimbabwe's Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has said that anyone invading farms will be arrested - in an apparent challenge to Robert Mugabe.

Mr Tsvangirai said the recent land invasions "are actually acts of theft".

President Mugabe has said that the government would continue to seize white-owned farms as part of his land reform policy.

Veteran opposition leader Mr Tsvangirai joined Mr Mugabe in a power-sharing government last month.

Hard to believe there are any white-owned farms actually left, at this point.

Since the land was going to be stolen anyway, I'd have poisoned the soil on my way out the gate if I were a white land owner there.
