		SENIOR ZANU PF politicians and army officers have grabbed prime wildlife-rich farms along the route of the Zambezi Water Project in Matabeleland, as they strategically position themselves to benefit from the stalled project, which is expected to create a 450-kilometre greenbelt.
		While some of the politicians had been allocated the farms at the height of the land grab in 2002, there has been a stampede for the properties along the route of the pipeline largely due to the fact that the government had shown interest in proceeding with the Zambezi project, first mooted in 1912.
		Other ruling party officials allocated farms along the route include Matabeleland North ZANU PF chairman Headman Moyo (GoodLuck Farm), Alice Nkomo and Siyazama Ndlovu (Sonata Ranch).
