Zimbabwe on Thursday invited more than 1 000 white farmers to collect compensation for property seized during a controversial land-reform programme launched by President Robert Mugabe's government. Zimbabwe launched its controversial and often violent land reforms seven years ago, seizing at least 4 000 properties formerly run by white farmers.
