Targeting commercial farming sector
The racial discrimination that has been taking place in Zimbabwe became endemic in 2000 in the ongoing battle between dictatorship and democracy that continues to play out. President Mugabe and ZANU-PF conveniently blame the white people – notably white commercial farmers, Britain and the West for all the country’s ills. Racial abuse has also become a cover for torturing, murdering, stealing, abusing and threatening the vulnerable population in the rural areas where 70 percent of Zimbabweans live and where ZANU-PF’s popularity has eroded significantly.
