>>7983418most of the farmers went to Zambia, Mozambique or SA. Some went to the UK, AUS or USA. There's a frightful documentary called Mugabe And The White African. I just feel so sorry for those guys.
It's better now that Mugabe is gone but the ZANU-PF is gone and the reason the land went to shit was because it was given to Mugabe political friends and so on who had no idea how to farm, didn't do anything with it apart from scavenge every single acre for firewood (literally) and fired/imprisoned the farm labourers who - you know - knew how to manage THEIR farm for being anti ZANU-PF/white sympathizers.

>>7982631that place is a true Greek tragedy in modern times.
"In 2014, Grace Mugabe, wife of President Robert Mugabe, was widely reported to have helped herself to 1,600 hectares of land representing about 46% of the total arable land at the Estates, forcing the company to write off about $6 million in immovable assets (biological and property as well as plant and equipment) related to Mazoe Citrus Estate.
She has subsequently seized another 800 hectares of prime land at Mazoe Citrus Estates and Manshou Game Reserve in Mazowe, leaving hundreds of workers unemployed and homeless.
What was once a vibrant orange orchard has now been described by Chris Muronzi as “a wretched waste land with either lifeless and dry fruit trees or severely wilted orange trees”
Sadly these papes are watermarked but you get the idea.
