Zimbabwe pays white farmers R8.45 billion

Zimbabwe has made a significant payment to its former white farmers, handing over $508 million in reparations, a move that brings closure to a decades-long dispute. The payments were made after the farmers accepted and subscribed to dollar notes, a compromise that allowed the government to fulfill its 2020 offer of $3.5 billion in compensation, albeit in a form that has been altered to include dollar bonds.
