The provinces affected were Masvingo, Mashonaland West, Mashonaland East and Mashonaland Central. – Sapa-dpa Click here or ALT-T to return to TOP 100 farms invaded in 4 days By Tererai Karimakwenda 08 April, 2008 Illegal farm invasions have escalated dramatically in the past few days as the government continues to delay announcing the results o
