We demand relocation and Compasension for the victims in Sereje commencial farming Forced into homelessness

The Zambian government regards agriculture as a “panacea” for rural poverty, and the country’s leaders have been promoting agribusiness investments on huge swaths of land. However, flaws in the government’s regulation of commercial agriculture, and its poor efforts at protecting the rights of vulnerable people, instead of helping people climb out of the poverty mire, are actually hurting them. Families that have lived and farmed for generations on land now allocated to commercial farms are being displaced without due process or compensation. Some have been left hungry and homeless.

We appeal to the President of Zambia his excellency Mr Edgar Lungu to look into the plight of the victims of the Serenje Commercial farming program.

We also demand that they be compasented for the sale of their land and be relacated to a permanent land that cannot be sold or repossesed.

Lastly we demand that measure be put in place to ensure this kind of thing does not happen again in Zambia anywhere else in our provinces.
