Robert Mugabe Land Quotations

We are no longer going to ask for the land, but we are going to take it without negotiating.

We have said the first step was to designate the land, inform the owners. And the second would be to get the responses from the owners. And this will be openly done.

True, some land was bought by a few Cabinet Ministers. They bought the land. No minister, to my knowledge acquired land which was meant for resettlement.

Having restored land to the people... We have learnt a host of lessons, all pointing to the challenge of ensuring food security for the people.

We have sought to address this inequity, ... And what has been the response from former imperialist quarters? Staggering beyond description. My government, my party and my own person have been labeled land grabbers, demonized, reviled and threatened with sanctions in the face of accusations of reverse racism.

We will proceed with current land reform with or without sanctions, ... Let that position be known here and abroad and let the commercial farmers tell that to their constituency or constituencies overseas.

We will have no mercy for white people regarding the land, they cannot own our soil.

We have fought for our land, we have fought for our sovereignty, small as we are we have won our independence and we are prepared to shed our blood.... So, Blair keep your England, and let me keep my Zimbabwe.
