Zim PM urges transparent diamond trade

Zimbabwe’s PM Morgan Tsvangirai has called for openness in the country’s nascent diamond trade, getting underway after the lifting of a global ban over rights abuses.

War vets battle dispair

A dusty road leads to the village of Wedza, where veterans of Zimbabwe's liberation war eke out a meagre living on their farm cooperative, which after a promising start now brings only despair.

Windhoek - A regional African tribunal on Thursday ordered Zimbabwe not to proceed with the seizure of a farmer's land, dealing a blow to President Robert Mugabe and threatening to draw his neighbours into a heated land redistribution debate.

A three-person Southern African Development Community (SADC) tribunal unanimously ruled in favour of Zimbabwean farmer Mike Campbell, who had asked the court in the Namibian capital Windhoek to stop Zimbabwe's seizure of his family's farm.

Mugabe's government, often accused of human rights abuses, stifling political dissent and running Zimbabwe's economy into the ground, has seized thousands of white-owned farms and redistributed the land to blacks since 2000.
