A List of farms taken in Mashonaland West Zimbabwe & their beneficiaries.
Zimbabwes land reform was the biggest scam by Zanupf government EVER, it had nothing to do with empowering people. It was a bunch of lunatics who saw an opportunity & went for it full steam ahead.
In this document, Edna Madzongwe, President of the Senate had acquired two farms out of a total of six, three in particular come from this district.
Aitape farm was a 2000ha Bourne farm 445ha they were part of a cluster of farms totaling a whopping 5200ha these were huge tobacco farms
Judge Mukanuri acquired Ameva (portion) im sure everyone knows Charles Stewart Day old chicks. Yes the owners of HyLine breeding stock in Africa. They had to move their operation to Malawi
In the same document, Christopher Mutsvangwa does not need to introduce the former ambassador to China, who acquired a portion of the Bergen Estate Farm along with Officer Chawanda. If I remember correctly, the estate was around 3000ha.
Others include senetors, councilors, air vice marshal, wing commander no other than the infamous Reuben Barwe, yes the chief correspondent at ZBC.
Reuben recieved US$79,607.00 in 2007 RBZ Farm Mechanisation Scheme he was denied a US visa in 2012 & put on the sanctions list for 20 years as of 2022 Daisy farm was portioned out to him as part of donnington farm. Yes you know the one Gono got hold of? Luna chickens the biggest poultry project to fail in the history of the whole entire world. 1/
In this list we have Dr. Chideya who joined Zimbabwe’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1990 as a deputy secretary. Later that year, he was appointed ambassador to the Nordic countries, covering Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland. In 1993, he became Zimbabwe’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and Ireland, a position he held until 1999
How bizarre a seasoned diplomat was allocated land, he died in 2011 the farm has nothing to show for itself. The tractors are parked up on the house lawn rotting away. The combine harvesters & all the implements were sold off. 2/
On this list is Peter Lawrence Cox Fopagena farm my Grandfather the farm i grew up on. I wrote about this two days ago. Ambassador to Angola Manzou & inspector Mukweshe enjoyed the 2500ha farm that rotted away very quickly.
In this same document we have the legendary alcoholic Webster Shamu, he took Lambourne im sure everyone knows Lambourne on the Bulawayo Harare road near Bryden country school & the butcher just on the side.
Webster had a lot to live up to because it was in plain view of everyone. So he ended up employing one of the white folk to run it for him. Not so sure what the arrangement was between them. However Webster recently in cahoots with his Chinese friends Shuntai Investments (Pvt) Ltd tried to set up a cement manufacturing plant right next to the school.
The school lodged complaints with the Environmental Management Authority (EMA) and sought legal recourse, obtaining an interim High Court order on March 27, 2025 3/
On this document i dont think there is a single Zimbabwean who doesnt know about Bright Matong acquiring the biggest citrus producing farm in zimbabwe. Near on 1000ha of oranges owned by Beattie, Mataniki district chairman also a piece of it but nothing like Matonga.
Unlike Webster Shamu *not so* Bright Matonga became the biggest firewood salesman in the whole of the region. The oranges rotted & bright sold the trees a firewood. Stripped the farm of any infrastructure & sold it off. The shameless buffoon was practically given a multi million dollar farming project that sold oranges all over the world & turned it into a firewood selling business.
In this document we also have the former head of the army Zvinavashe, Vitalis Musungwa, who to two farm one being part of the Beattie operation. I im correct were the Big Orange packing station was, you can all guess what happend to that 4/
On this document we have the infamous mount Carmel. Im sure everyone knows the Namibian court case where Campbell won the case & Ben Freeth went back to visit a burnt down house & very little going on. That was a 10000ha farm including the wildlife reserve if im correct.
On the same lit Webster shamu pops up again with his second farm Selous Tobacco Estate Farm huge tobacco producer. It was not in the full view of everyone like Lambourne so he let it go to the dogs.
In this one Eda gets her 3rd farm Stockdale Citrus Estate Farm a huge orange producer. Sadly the trees also became firewood.
On this document we also have the famous Paul Munyaradzi Mangwana lawyer & politician & wife grabbing one farm each.
The same one we see Nick Mangwana posting gochi gochi picture on X during his weekend adventures. Atleast they maintaind the grass. The rest is dead.
Last we have Matanhike gaining another one putting him at two.
These were all extremely productive farms & some of the most important contributing hugely to the economy.
As you can see the people who benefited was not your ordinary person. Every single one of them had links to government.
They never cared about one bit, just their own selves.
These are the people who ruined the country not anyone else. I must also say that a lot of the farms mentions were purchased after 1980 legitimately. So before the dunderheads start with their nonsense of land theft and ancestors what what, you can save us that bullshit *in Gezas voice*
Zimbabweans dont deserve these people at all!
Hope you enjoyed the thread
