Methodology The Land Reform and Property Rights in Zimbabwe of 2010 is a sequel report to the 2007, Adding Insult to Injury, a preliminary report on human rights violations on commercial farms 2000-2005. Whereas the previous report was a quantitative enquiry, this report is qualitative research oriented based on a review of secondary data. Secondary research, also known as desk research, involves the collation and synthesis of existing research. The aim of secondary research is to determine what is known already and what new data is required. Several documented reports have concentrated on violent land invasions from 2000-2005 and very little has been reported on violent land invasions after 2007. Therefore this report tries to fill that gap by focusing on violations on farmers and farm workers' right to property, which have continued unabated. In compiling this report, information was obtained mostly from the following reports: l Destruction of Zimbabwe's Backbone Industry in Pursuit of Political Power. A qualitative report on events in Zimbabwe's commercial farming sector since the year 2000. Report prepared by the Justice for Agriculture Trust [JAG] & the General Agricultural and Plantation Workers Union of Zimbabwe [GAPWUZ], April 2008, Harare. l Land, Retribution, and Elections. Post election violence on Zimbabwe's remaining farms 2008. Report prepared by the Justice for Agriculture Trust [JAG] & the Research and Advocacy Unit (RAU), May 2008, Harare: l Reckless Tragedy: Irreversible?
