Mugabe, who ruled Zimbabwe for 37 years, owned several farms despite laws limiting individuals to one farm.
HARARE - Farm tractors, pick-up trucks and combine harvesters from former Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe's dairy farm will go under the hammer to pay off debts, auctioneers announced on Thursday.
Mugabe and his wife Grace were accused of forcing off smallholders off the land to set up the Gushungo Dairy estate in Mazowe outside Harare as the couple built up a lucrative farming business. Also for sale are Massey Ferguson tractors, 13 motorcycles and farm equipment, including four combine harvesters.
The privately-owned NewsDay daily this week quoted a sales executive at the farm bemoaning dwindling sales and saying the company was operating at 58% of its capacity.
