THE displacement, primarily affecting the Shangaan ethnic group in the Southeastern town of Chilonga in the Chiredzi district, was not due to a natural disaster; instead, their move is to make way for the commercial efforts of Darren Coetzee, a white farmer and businessman who wants the land to grow lucerne grass, a crop largely used for grazing and hay, for his family-run dairy business.
Coetzee founded Dendairy in 2004, and markets it as a “proudly Zimbabwean company” that empowers “everybody from local farmers, to nourishing the growing bodies of our countries [sic] youth.” Not everyone has felt so empowered Zimbabweans have been speaking out against the company’s participation in the Chiredzi land grab for months.
