We will not go back on the land issue - Vice President

    JOHANNESBURG

    Vice President Joseph Msika has said that the Zimbabwean government will not go back on the land issue and will “strive to see that black Zimbabweans get the land which they fought for,” the state news agency Ziana said on Tuesday.

    Msika said that the government was committed to redressing the colonial land imbalances. He said that only government had the power to compulsory acquire land and that no one had the right to sell land to the landless majority.
