Summary
Control of land in Zimbabwe has always been an issue. In the 1960's the colony of Southern Rhodesia cut ties from Britain, and after a decade and a half, Zimbabwe governed it. Rhodesia has developed a "self-sufficient and diversified industrial sector, an extensive infrastructure, and a functioning financial sector that Zimbabwe inherited at independence." The white minority that governed it before kept on owning the land there.
