Whites in Zimbabwe

by | 26th, January 2013

ZIMBABWE, formerly Rhodesia, was once ruled by a foreign-born white elite. After independence from Britain, President Robert Mugabe moved to grab the land from white farmers, some of whom had been there for generations. There was more bloodshed. These photos tell some of the story:

The body of Zimbabwe farmer Terry Ford is seen after he was shot dead at his homestead allegedly by a group of suspected ruling party militants in Norton, about 30km (20 miles) west of Harare. Ford, 51, was the 10th white farmer killed since militants began often violent occupations of white-owned land two years ago.
