By James Gwati-President Emmerson Mnangagwa said his government is planning to take farms from “multiple” farm owners, and give them to his party’s youths.

Mnangagwa early last year commissioned a land inquiry which targeted farms belonging to the former First lady, Grace Mugabe and her G-40 cabal.

After the land inquiry, Mnangagwa announced that they discovered that Grace Mugabe had several farms.

Addressing mourners at the burial of former police deputy commissioner Griffiths Moses Mpofu at the National Heroes Acre, Saturday, Mnangagwa said his was going to repossess such farms.

“The inquiry we made on agricultural land has identified lots of land which is vacant, underutilized and belonging to multiple owners,” he said.

“Government will repossess that land for on-leasing to the landless, foremost among them the youths.

“The land has come. We must cultivate it to grow our economy.

“I am aware that our youths are crying out for pieces of land and are eager to work the land.

“Our land reform programme was a success and never will it be reversed by those opposed to it forever. “
