Abstract

The whites owned large and fertile land while the blacks were placed to small and unfertile land and this made room for land distribution process as a way of equality, fairness and justice. The government implemented land reform program where they attained their land from the colonizers (whites). However the result of this act led to the Zimbabwe crisis which is characterized by food insecurity, inflation, deindustrialisation and high rate of unemployment. The main objective of the study is to examine the impacts of land issue on the Zimbabwe crisis. Data was collected using an in-depth interview and documentary review. The first objective was to understand the land issue and the aims to why land reform was conducted in Zimbabwe. The outcomes show that to get economic independence and fighting imperialism. However it was also a political move. The second objective was to examine the impacts of land issue on the Zimbabwe crisis. The outcome shows that the factors rooted in land issue paved way to political, economic and social crisis in Zimbabwe. The last objective was to suggest ways of addressing the land issue for the resolution of the Zimbabwe crisis.
