JAG
cautionary statement to all commercial farmers
Justice
for Agriculture (JAG) Zimbabwe
February 10, 2006
The JAG Trust
notes with grave concern the statement
released by the CFU this week to the Government and People of
Zimbabwe
The JAG TRUST
is mindful of the following facts:
- That the
few remaining commercial farmers still on the land remain, even
now, under intense and escalating pressure to vacate their farms.
- That 90%
of the commercial farmland is now lying idle and derelict with
only 10% productive in some small way.
- That the
National agricultural production levels this year will be at an
all time record low in spite of an excellent summer rainfall season.
- That the
total breakdown of the Rule of Law still subsists in all the commercial
farming areas with the situation worsening on a daily basis.
- That a total
lack of respect for property rights exists and intensifies with
regard to not only land and improvements thereon but also moveable
farming assets, livestock, crops and personal household effects.
- That the
so called "land program" as the FIRST MURAMBATSVINA,
as with the SECOND, gives rise to massive human rights abuse issues
if not crimes against humanity.
The JAG Trust
reserves its position with regard to the CFU Statement until more
facts are to hand with regard to a purported change of policy by
the Government. In the meantime the Trust will be in consultation
with farmers with regard to these issues
