CFU director, Ben Gilpin on Thursday revealed that the applicants will be notified of the payment modalities by the 10th of May. Said, Gilpin: > We have about 900 farmers who have responded to the call and registered. > We are now verifying with the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Water, Climate and Rural Resettlement. > Those people will be notified of the final outcome around the 10th of May and working with the Ministry, payment modalities will be known. The Constitution of Zimbabwe provides for compensation to indigenous Zimbabweans whose agricultural land is acquired by the State. President Emmerson Mnangagwa recently affirmed the government ‘s position that the land reform is irreversible. *Related:* *MDC Supports Compensation Of White Farmers* *Govt To Compensate Only Old White Farmers – ED* *Zim Govt Angered By SA Opposition Parties’ ‘Disrespect’* *Compensating White Farmers Is Meant To Mend Relations With Western Powers – Mutodi* *Julius Malema’s Moral Compass Is Twisted – Zim Govt* *More: Chronicle* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
