Ben Freeth explains the background to
Zimbabwe’s land invasions
In this 8-minute interview with South African broadcaster Channel Africa, Peter Ndoro, co-host of the ‘Rise & Shine’ current affairs programme, asks Zimbabwean Ben Freeth to explain what happened during the country’s land reform process from 2000 onwards. He also questions why the issue of compensation for the mainly white commercial farmers whose properties were seized (often violently) remains unresolved 25 years later. Ben explains that the newly formed opposition MDC party posed a serious threat to President Mugabe and that taking the land was a strategy to retain power.

UK Supreme Court dismisses state immunity arguments to contest arbitration awards
Foreign governments cannot rely on state immunity to contest arbitration awards against them when they had submitted to the jurisdiction of the English courts, the UK Supreme Court has ruled. In July 2015, a tribunal of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) ordered Zimbabwe to restore three agricultural estates seized from the von Pezold family during the land confiscation programme, or pay compensation of around US$196 million as well as interest, costs and US$1m in moral damages. The second award (Border Timbers) ordered payment of US$125 million in damages.
