Shiri targets Mugabe farms

NEWLY-APPOINTED Agriculture minister Perrance Shiri has reportedly ordered an investigation into former President Robert Mugabe’s multiple farms with the intention of leaving him with one farm in line with the country’s one farm per family policy.

The Mugabe family reportedly owns up to 14 farms covering over 16 000 hectares acquired since the fast-track land reform programme began in 2000.

Former First Lady Grace Mugabe was reportedly in the process of acquiring more land, particularly in the Mazowe area, where the family runs the Gushungo Dairy project.
