It is also interesting [see Table 3 below] that the majority of those describing themselves as
Zimbabwean citizens also report that they still reside in Zimbabwe: 75% described themselves as
Zimbabweans, and 65% still reside in Zimbabwe. South Africa, the UK, Australia, and New
Zealand have been the major destinations after the respondents were forced to leave their farms,
whilst the remainder reported a wide variety of different countries: Malawi, Zambia, the USA,
Portugal, Canada, and Tanzania were all mentioned. Interestingly, there was no-one that
mentioned Nigeria as the place of migration. Only 6% of the sample reported still being on their
farm. This is slightly higher than the current estimate for the number of remaining commercial
farmers, about 186 according to a recent estimate by Justice for Agriculture. The difference may
be accounted by the earlier completion of this questionnaire, which was initially distributed in
June 2006.
