'Some white farmers will stay'

Johannesburg - Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has rejected reports that all the country's white farmers would lose their land, Harare's Herald newspaper reported on Thursday.
"It's only those white farmers, perhaps, whose farms have been taken. There are others whose farms have not been taken," he said on Wednesday.
"So you can't blanket them all and say white farmers. Some white farmers, yes."
Under the government's Gazetted Farms (Consequential Provisions) Act, a number of white farmers had recently been given notices to vacate their properties.
At least 150 out of the remaining 600 white farmers were issued with such notices last year under the new Act, which came into force on December 20.
The Herald said farmers whose land was identified for resettlement would be allowed to harvest their crops.
