The complexities dogging Zimbabwe’s controversial land reforms demand intelligent, fair and accurate analysis from the media. But this was not the case during the week when government again bulldozed through Parliament the enactment of the Land Acquisition Amendment Bill, which gives government immediate control of white-owned farms targeted for resettlement. Parliamentarians were hastily assembled before the official opening date to regularize the law reincarnated last November by presidential decree after a Supreme Court ruling nullified the General Laws Amendment Act to which the amendment originally belonged. Coverage of this important development in the public media was especially unprofessional.
