ED moves to stop farm seizures

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government has moved to stop new farm invasions, calling them acts of indiscipline which will not be tolerated by his government.

Finance minister Mthuli Ncube, speaking at a joint Press conference with white former commercial farmers in Harare yesterday, said all farm occupations especially those targeting productive land should be stopped, as Mnangagwa seeks to achieve peace with former white farmers and ramp up agricultural production.

“Government has received numerous reports regarding the resurgence of illegal land occupations, particularly on highly productive farms thereby disrupting production,” Ncube said.
