We have sought to address this inequity, ... And what has been the response from former imperialist quarters? Staggering beyond description. My government, my party and my own person have been labeled land grabbers, demonized, reviled and threatened with sanctions in the face of accusations of reverse racism.
Having restored land to the people... We have learnt a host of lessons, all pointing to the challenge of ensuring food security for the people.
We have said the first step was to designate the land, inform the owners. And the second would be to get the responses from the owners. And this will be openly done.

We are a democratic country and my party enjoys overwhelming support. The two gentlemen who purported to have withdrawn actually found it very tough to compete with us. We will win this election,
