JOHANNESBURG - Rights groups have denounced Zimbabwean government plans to evict thousands of villagers from their communal land and convert it to industrial animal feed farming.
More than 13,000 Shangani people, an indigenous minority group, were last month ordered to immediately vacate over 12,900 hectares of land in southeastern Zimbabwe.
The legal notice, issued by Local Government Minister July Moyo on February 26, said the land would be set aside for lucerne grass production unless the villagers acquired fresh occupation rights.

VICE-PRESIDENT Kembo Mohadi (71) has dismissed allegations that he was involved in illicit relationships with married women, including his subordinate, saying he was a set up by his political detractors who peddled lies against him.
Recorded phone calls alleged to be between Mohadi and the alleged lovers, went viral on social media, which triggered social criticism against the Vice-President.
Addressing journalists at his Munhumutapa offices yesterday, Mohadi said he was a victim of political machinations being peddled through hacking and voice cloning and affirmed his commitment to continue serving the nation.
“Fellow Zimbabweans following the recent social media hype about my alleged illicit relationship with two married women, I have decided to come open and respond to the allegations being peddled by my detractors,” Mohadi said.
