Various of rotting mangos in shed STORYLINE Zimbabwe's Deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara toured three farms on Friday following Finance Minister Tendai Biti's remarks last week that there had been a fresh wave of seizures of white-owned farms since the coalition was sworn in two months ago. Biti raised concerns last week that violence and difficulties with Zimbabwe's power-sharing deal were keeping visitors and investment away. The coalition formed in February brought together President Robert Mugabe and long-time opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai to address the nation's economic and humanitarian crisis. Biti, an ally of Tsvangirai, cited a fresh wave of farm seizures as well as remaining political differences and the continued detention of some opposition activists. The coalition government had previously agreed to end farm seizures. But many observers say this has not been the case and argue that Tsvangirai is failing to bring his influence to bear over Mugabe. Farmers' organisations say about 100 farms have been targeted in recent weeks, most by Mugabe party officials and their supporters. One farm filmed by AP Television belonged to white farmer Richard Eterege who claimed to have been kicked off his land on a series of occasions as a result of the government's land redistribution policy. He claimed his land had been seized by President of the Senate, Edna Madzongwe. However Edna's daughter told reporters that "all of this has been resolved in a court". Since Mugabe began his land redistribution program in 2000, some 4-thousand whites have lost their properties, leaving about 400 still on their land, many under almost permanent siege. Years of seizures have disrupted the economy in the former regional breadbasket, leading to the world's highest inflation rate and chronic shortages of food, gasoline and basic goods. Since the formation of the coalition government, financial institutions, investors and foreign donors have demanded democratic reforms and the restoration of law and order as conditions for resuming funding and balance-of-payments support. schools and restore health and municipal services.
