More than 4,000 white farmers lost their land after Mr Mugabe lost a referendum to the new Movement for Democratic Change party and, in a bid to regain popularity, authorised land grabs by disaffected war veterans.

Today, fewer than 300 white farmers remain on portions of their original land holdings in Zimbabwe and many of the seized farms lie fallow, meaning the former Breadbasket of Africa has to import food to feed its population.

I used to work with a girl from Zimbabwe. Was pretty interesting to hear her tell about the before and after. Who would have ever thought if you took land away from skilled farmers and gave it to random people off the street it would turn out badly.

Sounds a bit like our welfare system doesn't it? 2003, have you become a conservative right before our eyes?
