Namibia: Namibian president urges calm over land expropriation

Brushing off fears of Zimbabwe-style farm invasions, President Sam Nujoma assured Namibians on Wednesday that a land expropriation program would be conducted in a legal and orderly manner. Most of Namibia's productive farmland is owned by whites who make up less than 5 percent of the country's people. The government is in the process of identifying a number of white-owned commercial farms for redistribution to landless blacks.
