[New leadership started asking old farmers to come back. Work their old farm, can’t own it, but grow some food. Not sure how many went back. Don’t think many did.]


Ownership is a social construct. The piece of paper they hand you doesn’t confer ownership. The recognition of ownership claims by the overwhelming majority of the leadership and population does. Until that happens, no foreign farmer will risk his time and money in Rhodesia.

There were asking some of the to come home. Live and work their old farms, but would never get actual ownership of the land like they used to.

That was actually happening in South Africa, in a way. People lost their farms because they were just taken. Some od the “new owners” asked/allowed the farmer to stay, work the farm, split the money. Although that was not common and the majority of farms and now, just weeds
