well duhhhh!!!....what did they think was going to happen. pure land grab...comercial farming is a modern activity, it doesnt involve small plots of subsistence farming. Huge tracks of land are required to make them viable, plus deeded title to the land is needed in order to get credit from banks. Allso farming know how is needed to run a farm, thats why in modern countries people usually dont farm but leave it to large agribusiness....yeesh. Normal people want to work near big cities and not toil under the sun with a hoe on a plot of land many miles away from civilization. they wanted to give the land to the blacks, but tossed out the blacks that knew how to work the farms and gave them to lackies and halfwits Zanu PF yes men(the certainly arent do men cause they cant do anything)
