8. CONCLUSION Evictions of illegal settlers continue unabated in Zimbabwe. This is largely due to the fact that Zimbabwe does not have rules and regulations on the eviction procedure of both former farm workers and illegal settlers on agricultural land (former white commercial farms). Therefore, in the present case, although the complainants were illegal settlers and could not hold or have right of title to the farms (through possession of Offer Letters), their eviction from farms without any alternative land being offered is a violation of their right to adequate shelter and their freedom from arbitrary eviction without considering all the relevant circumstances. It is also a cause for concern that the Joint Operation Command of the security sector as represented by the ZRP, ZPCS, OPC and the ZNA implements decisions on land issues without due consideration of principles of administrative justice and human rights of the affected parties. Further, the allocation of one hectare plots to former farm workers yet other applicants were allocated more hectares amounts to discrimination on the basis of social or economic status which is prohibited by Section 56 of the Constitution. 9. RECOMMENDATIONS In light of the above findings and conclusion, the ZHRC makes the following recommendations: PARLIAMENT OF ZIMBABWE 11.1. To ensure a law is enacted that curb illegal grabbing and invasion of farms; 11.2. To enact laws that specifically deal with the eviction of illegal settlers from farms; 11.3. To enact laws that protect the rights of former farm workers. MINISTRY OF LANDS, AGRICULTURE AND RURAL RESETTLEMENT 11.4. To find a way of finalising and ensuring that the Land Reform comes to an end. Page 8 of 8
