Land was one of the main reasons why people went to liberation struggle.

The land question was the key driver to young women and men who joined the armed struggle against Ian Smith regime.

Even after 1980 Independence land remained the people’s political agenda.Land is important to the people of Zimbabwe.It’s a lie that people are not in support of the Land redistribution.

It is the manner and behavior of the 2 000 Fast Track Land Reform which we are against.We are against the Zanu PF cabal which shared the land amongst themselves and underutilized the land.

People are still in need of Land in Zimbabwe.Everyday they are cases of Land conflicts in all parts of Zimbabwe.Yes the young people and women of this country did not benefit from the so called Land Reform of 2 000.

As young people we want proper Land Reform which is not partisan.It should be done properly.

We are totally against the Government’s move to reverse Land Reform.

Instead of reversing the program, the government should redistribute the land properly.
