adminnew farmers in Chiredzi area.
The move is expected to encourage optimum use of land and improve sugar output in the Lowveld.
The repossession of the underused sugar cane plots has already started at Mkwasine Estates, 58 kilometres East of Chiredzi town.
In an interview recently, Chiredzi district administrator, Mrs Clara Muzenda, said they had already started repossessing the underused plots at Mkwasine Estates.
This follows a land audit carried out last year, which exposed rampant underutilisation of plots.
Mrs Muzenda said the repossessed plots would be allocated to people on the waiting list.
“We have already started the repossession of sugar cane plots that are underutilised in the Lowveld and we would start with Mkwasine Estates where we have high cases of underutilisation of land,” she said.
“The people who have not been using their land or those who have not even bothered to take up their plots at all will definitely lose those plots to more deserving farmers.”
She said hundreds were on the land waiting list in the district and Government would want land in Chiredzi to be optimally utilised.
