Land reform has brought about the most far-reaching redistribution of resources in Zimbabwe since independence in 1980. After a slow but orderly process of redistribution between 1980 and 1999, a fast-track programme was implemented between 2000 and 2002. This phase of land reform involved the acquisition of 11 million hectares from white commercial farmers for redistribution in a process marked by considerable coercion and violence. Prior to land reform, an estimated 320,000 to 350,000 farm workers were employed on commercial farms owned by about 4,500 white farmers. Their dependants numbered between 1.8 and 2 million. How did farm workers fare in the massive redistribution of land? What was the broad impact on them? And what are their future prospects? This is the subject of a recent report, 'The Situation of Commercial Farm Workers after Land Reform in Zimbabwe', prepared for the Farm Community Trust of Zimbabwe.
