Mugabe says the violence must end

After a meeting on Friday with representatives of the Commercial Farmers Union (CFU) and leaders of the veterans, Mugabe told a news conference: “The violence associated with the take-over of the farms must end.”

Mugabe, who has endorsed the occupations and said he would not order an end to the action, insisted that those occupying the farms would remain on the land.
