The New Green Giants in the Woods!

Nestled between towering pine trees and shadowy woods, an extraordinary sight awaits. As the early morning mist and dew settle, the first rays of sunlight reveal the vivid green of John Deere machinery, standing proudly amidst the foliage. The rhythmic hum of these machines harmonizes with the soft chirping of birds, creating a symphony of productivity in the serene forest, where nature and technology work together in perfect balance.

Zimbabwe to Compensate White Farmers Two Decades After Land Seizures

Zimbabwe has announced plans to compensate both local and foreign white farmers whose land and assets were seized over 20 years ago in a bid to address colonial-era land injustices. Nearly 4,000 white farmers lost their property in the often-chaotic redistribution program initiated by then-President Robert Mugabe in 2000. Now, Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube confirms that $351.6 million will be allocated for local compensation and $196.6 million for foreign claimants, with only a fraction paid in cash and the rest issued through treasury bonds. The move aims to resolve lingering debt issues while reigniting debate over Zimbabwe’s evolving land policies.
