About 200 families are facing eviction from a farm near Harare after the government stated that the land was earmarked for a game park and was declared a national heritage. But critics say the villagers - who have occupied the land since 2001 at the height of invasion of white-owned commercial farms by President Robert Mugabe's ZANU-PF supporters - are being forced out to make more space for the president's wife, Grace, who already owns the adjacent land. The villagers have been granted a court order stopping the evictions. (Photo by Philimon Bulawayo/Reuters)
