2014: Mugabe: Whites Can't Own Land in Zimbabwe
https://www.newsweek.com/mugabe-whites-cant-own-land-zimbabwe-257529"We say no to whites owning our land, and they should go," Mugabe told supporters, according to The Christian Science Monitor. "They can own companies and apartments…but not the soil. It is ours and that message should ring loud and clear in Britain and the United States."
Mugabe's declaration is mostly symbolic. Few white farmers remain in the country after Mugabe's first pogrom, which began in 2000. According to Human Rights Watch, Mugabe sent "ruling party militias, often led by veterans of Zimbabwe's liberation war," to harass and expel the country's then-5,000 white farmers. In 2012, The Guardian reported that no more than 500 remained. Mugabe and his allies now own about 40 percent of the land seized from white farmers, The Guardian said.
Many critics blame Mugabe's aggressive land grab for Zimbabwe's economic meltdown. In 2000, Zimbabwe was the world's second largest exporter of tobacco; seven years later, it had slipped to sixth place, the economy had shrunk by 40 percent, and, in 2008, inflation hovered at 500 billion percent, Bloomberg reported.
2015: In Zimbabwe, Mugabe is asking back the white farmers he chased away
https://qz.com/africa/458137/mugabe-is-asking-back-the-white-farmers-he-chased-awayIn 2000 Robert Mugabe shocked the world when he made dramatic changes to land ownership laws in Zimbabwe which resulted in thousands of white Zimbabwean farmers being forced to give up their farms and many to leave the country.
Those white farmers owned 70% of the most arable land in the country which they had inherited from a colonial past built on racial hierarchy.
But now the tide is shifting again. Mugabe’s people have hinted strongly, for the first time, that farmers can return–at least some of them. This will be some 15 years after the Zimbabwe government began seizing their land.
...
The country that was once dubbed “the breadbasket of the region” has suffered an estimated $12 billion in lost agriculture production since the land occupations took place and has had to rely on donor handouts and food imports from neighboring countries. At least 1.8 million tonnes of the staple grain, maize, is required annually to feed the nation.
2016: Zimbabwe pleads for $1.5bn in food aid to prevent mass starvation

As the drought worsens, nearly a quarter of the population in the landlocked southern African nation face the risk of starving to death.
2017: 15 years after, Zimbabwe begs white farmers to return as country plunges into famine | Elendu Reports Online
https://www.elendureportsonline.com/15-years-zimbabwe-begs-white-farmers-return-country-plunges-famine/Fifteen years after it forcibly evicted at least 4000 white commercial farmers from their farms, Zimbabwean government has been forced to eat it vomits by begging the white farmers to return as the country plunges into famine.
Crisis-hit Zimbabwe’s economy continues to deteriorate fifteen years after Robert Mugabe’s government seized large swaths of land from white farmers in the country, a move that triggered a rapid downturn in the country’s economy.
The country’s Minister of Lands Douglas Mombeshora said provincial leaders had been tasked to come up with names of white farmers they wanted to remain on their farms. The farms should be “of strategic economic importance“.
2018: Zimbabwe 'doomed without whites', says outgoing Zanu-PF MP | News24
https://www.news24.com/news24/africa/zimbabwe/zimbabwe-doomed-without-whites-says-outgoing-zanu-pf-mp-20180709An outgoing member of parliament for Zimbabwe's ruling Zanu-PF party has reportedly claimed that the southern African country cannot prosper "without the involvement of whites" in its "affairs".
According to New Zimbabwe.com, Joseph Tshuma who was the MP for Mpopoma Pelandaba said this while speaking at a political parties discussion forum in Bulawayo over the weekend.
"We are coming from the era of Robert Mugabe. An era which closed us out from the rest of the world. We began to live in a vacuum. That was the most dangerous thing that was ever experienced by this country other than the bombings during the liberation struggle," Tshuma was quoted as saying.
Tshuma said that Mugabe made a mistake when he told Tony Blair to "keep your England and I'll keep my Zimbabwe".
"Yes, we kept our Zimbabwe but what kind of Zimbabwe did we keep? One thing that I have been made to understand and agree strongly whether painful or not, we cannot do away with that person called umkhiwa (white)."
2019: Zimbabwe to start paying white farmers compensation after April | Reuters
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-zimbabwe-farmers-idUSKCN1RK0UUHARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwe is to start paying compensation this year to thousands of white farmers who lost land under former president Robert Mugabe’s land reform nearly two decades ago, the government said, as it seeks to bring closure to a highly divisive issue.
Two decades ago Mugabe’s government carried out at times violent evictions of 4,500 white farmers and redistributed the land to around 300,000 black families, arguing it was redressing imbalances from the colonial era.
But land reform still divides public opinion as opponents see it as a partisan process that left the country struggling to feed itself.

2020: Zimbabwe to return land seized from foreign farmers - BBC News
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-53988788Zimbabwe has offered to return land to foreign nationals whose farms were seized under a controversial government programme two decades ago.
Thousands of white farmers were forced from their land, often violently, between 2000 and 2001.
The seizures were meant to redress colonial-era land grabs but contributed to the country's economic decline and ruined relations with the West.
...
Zimbabwe on Monday said foreign citizens who had their land seized could now apply to get it back.
Hundreds of Europeans - mostly Dutch, British and German nationals - whose investments were protected under international agreements could benefit from the offer, reports the BBC's Shingai Nyoka from the capital, Harare.
