Zimbabwean government supporters who are trying to force remaining white farmers off their land have seized five more white-owned farms.
Armed agents of the secret service, militia and police seized two farms in eastern Nyazura and three in Chipinge, farming officials said. Two farmers were taken to hospital after beatings. About 500 white farmers remain, from the 4,500 in 2000.
Last week, the justice minister, Patrick Chinamasa, said that all farm title deeds would be cancelled and that white farmers must seek compensation from Britain, the former colonial ruler.
