New constitution prohibits black land seizures

MDC-T Copac co-chair Douglas Mwonzora said the inclusive government has stepped up efforts to stop black-against-black land takeovers by providing in the draft constitution the compensation of all agricultural land acquired from any indigenous Zimbabweans by the government.

Presenting the draft to Parliament recently, Mwonzora said there was no need for taking land from needy black citizens and giving it to other needy indigenous Zimbabweans.

This will also include land taken by the State for urban expansions.
