🇿🇼Can land reform be a success? l Inside Story

Thousands of white farmers in Zimbabwe were forced off their land during former President Robert Mugabe's rule.
But they might now be awarded some compensation.
The government says it plans to pay more than 50 million dollars to those who were evicted.
But critics estimate the bill at 9 billion dollars.
So, will their demands trigger another crisis?
And has land reform proved a success - in Zimbabwe or elsewhere?

The land was not theirs in the first place so I'm confused as to why they are being compensated. They came, they stole and they colonized. SMH this is an insult to the people of Zimbabwe.

[@e0o9kii]

They're compensating White farmers in order to get them to come back to and use their skills to tend to and manage the farms again. When Zimbabwe started seizing land in 2000, they thought that native people would just manage and take care of it but since the land seizures in 2000, the farms fell into decay.
Now they're using the promise of land compensation to get White farmers with farming skills & experience to maintain and re-develop the farms.
What, do you expect the Zimbabwean government to just force White farmers to come back and use their farming skills to re-develop and maintain their confiscated farms and force them to train Black farmers?

[@vanessaG275]

You are confused because you are black. Many blacks don't actually do their own research. They generate (spit out) the same old racist bullshit.

A story about Zimbabwe without a single Zimbabwean on the panel? Useless

On the 'Bread Basket To Basket Case' myth:
Presenter: "At the end of the day, from an economic perspective, what has the landreform policy... what sort of impact has it had on the agricultural sector, on the economy?"
If he was honest, he would ask: so what was the impact of economic sanctions on the Zimbabwe Dollar and the Zimbabwean economy? He's not honest, of course.
When someone tries to control what you think, they're usually trying to pull a fast one.
Ali-Khan Satchu: "Well the first thing to note, is that Zimbabwe historically was a bread basket. It's agricultural production was enormous."
Ali-Khan Satchu is a liar. Zimbabwe was never 'a breadbasket' for anyone. Most of the rhodesian estates did not make a profit, and most land was kept out of production after the whites had been handed 43% of the country by the Rothschild Baron funded BSAC, even though they never made up more than 5% of the population.
Satchu skips over the recovery of the tobacco industry - without the return of the rhodesians or the Zimbabwe Dollar.
That is how powerful landreform is. And why the rhodies and the Oppenheimers are lying high and low about it's effects.
The West is and has always been resource poor, which is why they covet the resources of the lands of the tropics. And like in centuries past, they don't have anything to trade. So they make up lies and steal stuff.
