ZIMBABWE OCCUPIED FARMS | Hunting News – Zimbabwe | Africa De Sud Tourism

TAU SA North informs that a discussion that was held between representatives of organized agriculture in Limpopo and representatives of the Southern African Commercial Farmers Alliance of Zimbabwe on 30 – 31 July 2009.

During the discussion it became apparent that some South African Outfitters take hunting clients to Zimbabwe which by itself is no problem.

However some clients are taken to stolen farms making deals with the illegal current land beneficiaries causing that resources built up over generations being destroyed.

TAU SA North informed PHASA that such outfitters might run the risk of having to compensate the true owners for game taken and loss of future income as a result of these actions.

TAU SA North cited the judgment of the SADC Tribunal with respect to the ownership of agriculture property in Zimbabwe and the clear principles applied in the case. Refraining from presumably illegal actions will also assist in the prevention of the total destruction of the fauna and flora by the illegal occupants of the land.
