Five warfighters ask courts to stop money deals with white farm owners. They claim President Mnangagwa made secret plans worth $3.5 billion without proper legal support. Joseph Chinguwa leads the group, saying all deals need approval from lawmakers first. The fighters wonder how officials counted the money owed for things built on seized land. The law team asks what exactly counts as farm improvements worth a cash payment.
Last month, officials gave $3.1 million to 378 farmers as the first payment from the 2020 promise. Most money comes through bonds that pay back over many years instead of cash right away. Some foreign land owners from Europe have already received $20 million because their home countries signed special papers with Zimbabwe. Almost half the affected farm owners think the cash amounts seem much smaller than promised. These fighters worry about spending billions when poor veterans suffer daily with little help.
