Implemented in 2000, Zimbabwe’s “Fast Track Land Reform Programme” evicted some 4,000 white commercial farmers and their families from their lands. More than 1.3 million farm workers were subjected to 8 long years of political violence, intimidation and torture.
The Coalition for Liberal and Market Studies, a Harare-based free market policy-dialogue think tank, just launched a new report, Reckless Tragedy: Irreversible?, which looks at human rights violations and losses suffered by commercial farmers from 2000-2008 and its damaging economic effects.
