Denmark sets terms for Zimbabwe funding

    JOHANNESBURG

    Denmark has said it would contribute funds for a South African-led plan to raise money abroad to buy white-owned farms in Zimbabwe and hand them to landless blacks.

    Prime Minister Poul Nyrup Rasmussen Denmark was ready, in principle, to offer economic aid to help end rural violence in Zimbabwe that has claimed at least 28 lives since February. In remarks after meeting visiting South African President Thabo Mbeki, Rasmussen insisted that the violence would have to stop and the elections would have to be declared free and fair.
