Agri SA welcomes the governments announcement that an agreement would soon be reached with the Zimbabwean government on land rights for South Africans in that country.

Mr Hans van der Merwe, Executive Director of Agri SA, responded to this announcement while in Zimbabwe where he and Mr Bully Botma, Deputy President of this organisation, are attending an agricultural conference.

According to Van der Merwe, Agri SA last year discussed the frustrating atrocities committed by the Zimbabwean government in respect of the land rights of South Africans who farm there, directly with Mr Made, the Zimbabwean minister of agriculture, as well as the South African minister, Ms Thoko Didiza. Agri SA had asked for a mechanism to restore fairness and justice.

He expressed the hope that the agreement would be comprehensive enough to address the many problems that exist in this regard and that at attempt would also be made to ensure that it is implemented satisfactorily.
