White Zimbabwe farmers living in the Southern African region have rejected Zimbabwe’s offer to settle a 3.5 billion dollar land compensation deal over 10 years.

Zimbabwe farmers

The amended agreement was signed in 2020 with the farmers who had been removed from their properties more than 20 years ago. The farmers say they will be stepping up pressure against the Zimbabwean government by demanding the return of their farms to them. “There is nothing to hide here, for the farmers, they want to put their case, when this global compensation deed was signed one of the issues was a few hundred farmers destitute and we have nothing and they don’t know how they will afford their medical bills at the end of the month.

On the ground though, some Zimbabweans living in South Africa say they would welcome the white farmers back because they created job opportunities for them.
