Abstract: "Now the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham and Japhet.... These were the sons of Noah, and from these the whole earth was populated. And Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard." Genesis 9:18-20
This lecture examines a problem that is overdue the attention that it duly deserves. This is the problem of land. I purpose to do three things. Firstly, I will problematize land generally. Secondly, I will contextualise land problems by examining the land issue in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) by examining Zimbabwe's land issue. Finally, I will propose a strategy for the resolution of Zimbabwe's land issue that has caused enormous travail in Zimbabwe itself and the Region and abroad.
