Mr. Dzirutwe couldnt resist that dig at colonialists, could he. Not like the best land was being farmed when the colonialists came in, was it?

A lot of history redefinition here. The country wasn’t left “struggling to feed itself”, it was starving, much of it intentionally. And colonialists didn’t seize agricultural land, they created it.

I think the real reason the “colonialists” got the land back was because the indigenous people couldn’t make them profitable and were starving to death.
To: Olog-hai
“Two decades ago Mugabes government carried out at times violent evictions of 4,500 white farmers and redistributed the land to around 300,000 black families ... that left the country struggling to feed itself.”
I think that about sums up the actual state of affairs.

Let them burn in the hellfire they created. I have to imagine some people will be tempted to take something as it’s better than nothing but there will be no justifiable outcome for their efforts.

Well, he certainly didn’t go into any details in that statement concerning how much work was involved in making it the “best land”.

Now that would take unrevising the history and exposing the left for what it really is, and all.

But land reform still divides public opinion as opponents see it as a partisan process that left the country struggling to feed itself.
...
And that drop in economic productivity led to hyperinflation.

Colonialists seized some of the best agricultural land and much of it remained in the hands of white farmers after independence in 1980, while many blacks were landless.
...
Did they seize it or did they buy it?
