AfriForum plans to claim damages for Zimbabwean farmers who lost their assets during that country’s land expropriation process.

This after South Africa’s Constitutional Court ordered the Presidency to withdraw the country’s signature from a SADC Protocol that stripped individuals of the right to challenge their governments at the regional bloc Tribunal.

This was the end of a process that started when dispossessed Zimbabwean farmers turned to the SADC tribunal.

The Concourt has also found that former president Jacob Zuma had acted unlawfully and irrationally regarding the tribunal.

Kallie Kriel of AfriForum -which is representing seven Zimbabwean farmers in the matter, comments on Zuma’s role.
