PRESIDENT Joaquim Chissano of Mozambique has invited Zimbabwe’s commercial white farmers, threatened by farms invasions and seizures in their country, to settle in his country. Mozambique needs the expertise of experienced farmers to boost its food production, Chissano told the current session of the World Economic Forum’s southern Africa meeting in Durban. About 40 white commercial farmers from Zimbabwe had already settled in Mozambique, Chissano told the Sapa news agency after the session, focused on land reform in Zimbabwe. A number of South African commercial farmers had also settled in northern Mozambique, he said. “We do not sell the land to them, but they are granted a 50-year leasehold,” he said. “If this period expires, we will reassess the situation.”
