Harare - Zimbabwe's Supreme Court yesterday declared President Robert Mugabe's current land seizures from white farmers illegal and ordered the government to evict self-styled war veterans occupying the farms since February.
The court said the government must comply with the order within 48-hours. The Commercial Farmers Union took the government to court on Monday, arguing that presidential powers used by President Mugabe to seize white-owned land for black resettlement were invalid under the constitution.
