Zimbabwe will be importing wood in 10 to 15 years- MP warns

 Mr. Speaker Sir, in Chipinge, do we not have Ndau people who want to occupy the land of their ancestors?  If this Land Commission is going to take an audit of the land distribution, there are some people who have moved from those areas and yet the people of those areas were not able to benefit.  We have the Ndau people who are being robbed of their land, which is being given to the Zezurus.  I think even the beneficiaries should also be ashamed of occupying the land which is supposed to be occupied by people of that area.

Mr. Speaker Sir, the Commissioners should be able to administer land effectively.  We do not want to have seven out of ten members in that Commission coming from one province.  I believe that the appointment to the Commission should be on merit whereby people should be involved in that because they have expertise in the land utilisation and distribution.  Hon. Mliswa has promised to bring names into this august House so that we can scrutinise and vet the members of this Land Commission.  I know that Hon. Mliswa will bring these names into this august House, if you do not publish them, I know Hon. Mliswa and his character will take them to the press so that they are published.

I am pleading for the people in Musikavanhu area that they need to be given some new pieces of land because the current place they are farming has now been turned into dessert.  I thank you.
