Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe admits that his policy of forcibly taking land from white farmers hasn't boosted farm production. Far from it, he says just 44 percent of the land is being fully utilized for farming. And maize output has fallen by almost half since the government began seizing land. Mugabe has warned the black farmers it was given to that the government won't hesitate to redistribute it again if they don't shape up.
