Chris Mutsvangwa, an adviser to Mr Mnangagwa, said: “Land reform is over. Now we want inclusiveness. All citizens who had a claim to land by birthright, we want them to feel they belong and we want them to build a new country because this economy is shattered.”
“We were cheered when we told the people we were going home to our farm,” Mr Smart said. “We were very emotional. We have been warned our return may take a few days as police have to clear out those who took the farm. “We know our houses have been trashed and stuff like our fridge was taken, but that’s ok. We have to raise some money and we will plant potatoes as soon as we can.”
