Why did he choose 2002?

SIR—Those who are quick to praise the recent deeds of Zimbabwe President, Robert Mugabe (“Posterity will benefit from Mugabe’s action”) The New Vision, September 12. should ask themselves one simple question: If his seizure of white-owned land is such a boon to Africa in general and Zimbabwe in particular, why has he waited until 2002 to carry them out? He has been in power since 1980.
