GOVERNMENT IS SET TO REPROCESS AND REDISTRIBUTE IDLE LAND

Government says it will soon reprocess and redistribute idle land in a fair non-political and non-racial manner.

The Deputy Lands, Agriculture, Water, Culture and Rural Development Minister Douglas Karoro said they are waiting for the completion of the current ongoing land audit report which is expected to be released by March.

The Zimbabwe Land Commission in October last year deployed teams of 60 enumerators in all eight farming provinces for the comprehensive agricultural land audit. The audit was meant to identify land utilisation patterns and optimal farming activities which influence appropriate policies for increased agricultural productivity, poverty alleviation and sustainable utilisation of agricultural land.
