Robert Mugabe's 10,000 acre farm



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

It's good to be the king. The Telegraph, of course, is obsessed with the white farmers but the real issue is not the skin color of the farmers. The more important issue is that again, Mugabe is behaving as though it's his kingdom and his disastrous agricultural policies that have left people starving. (h/t Cat)

The discovery of the 10,000-acre holding worth £2 million is the first evidence of how he personally benefited from the land seizures programme which started in 2000.

More than 4,000 commercial farmers had their land taken in the drive that destroyed Zimbabwe's agriculture industry, the bedrock of the economy.
Even in the Mugabe-created failed state of Zimbabwe, these farm holdings are worth over $3 million.
