Britain will help finance “fair” land reform

    JOHANNESBURG

    Peter Hain, the British Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, has said Britain will help finance a “fair” land reform programme in Zimbabwe.

    He told ‘The Namibian’ during a visit to Windhoek this week: “Britain remains ready to help fund a fair land reform programme in Zimbabwe. We have put 36 million pounds (about US $57 million) on the table.”

    But he emphasised, “this can only be provided if President Robert Mugabe ends the illegal farm occupations, restores law and order and stops the violence which is devastating the country.”
