Zimbabwean black farmers who benefitted from land seizures more than two decades ago will have their 99-year leases converted to tenure, allowing them to sell the property, a cabinet minister said.
“All land held by beneficiaries of the land reform program under 99-year leases, offer letters and permits will now be held under a bankable, registrable and transferable more secure document of tenure, to be issued by the government,” Information Minister Jenfan Muswere, told reporters.
