Zimbabwe 'to arrest land thieves'

 

Harare, 29 March-(ANA)-Zimbabwe's Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai has said that anyone invading farms will be arrested - in an apparent challenge to Robert Mugabe.

 

Mr Tsvangirai said the recent land invasions "are actually acts of theft".

 

President Mugabe has said that the government would continue to seize white-owned farms as part of his land reform policy.

 

Veteran opposition leader Mr Tsvangirai joined Mr Mugabe in a power-sharing government last month.

 

The seizure of white-owned land is one of Mr Mugabe's defining policies but his critics say it has destroyed the economy.

 

The occupation of farms resumed shortly after the power-sharing government was sworn in, with some accusing hard-line allies of Mr Mugabe of trying to scupper the deal.

 

“ I have tasked the minister of home affairs to ensure that all crimes are acted upon and the perpetrators arrested and charged
