The SA government says it is satisfied that aid to Zimbabwe has been delivered properly and will help alleviate food shortages in that country.
The South African government says it is satisfied that aid to Zimbabwe has been delivered properly and will help alleviate food shortages in that country.

Spokesperson Themba Maseko points out that all land and farm owners who benefited from that country's "fast tracked land reform programme", the 2008 champion farmers programme and the 2008 presidential programme, were excluded from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) id package.

Maseko noted that some media reports failed to distinguish between the SADC aid package and the various initiatives of the Zimbabwean government.
"The monitoring teams conducted field inspections and were satisfied that control measures were put in place to ensure that the SADC aid package was delivered in a non-partisan [way],” explains Maseko.
