Robert Mugabe, former President of Zimbabwe, explains that the country's Fast-Track Land Reform Programme was justified because the British had forcibly taken land from indigenous Shona and Ndebele people in 1893 under Queen Victoria, and since the current landowners did not pay for the land, the government was entitled to take it back by force as a matter of justice.

"They got our land by force, now we are going to taking it by force” - Robert Mugabe #africaAdded:
acting on the strength of a charter given them by Queen Victoria.
They got our land, occupied it by force. We are now going to take it by force.
We did that. Yes.
And we were entitled to do so as a government. The land is ours. They had refused to provide money for compensation.
The only course was for us to take our land back and say to them, "Fine.
Uh if uh your kith and kin want compensation, you give it to them.
We can't give compensation to them because in the first place, those of them who acquired the land from us didn't pay for it.
That was that became now the issue.
And uh Blair has tried to fight the issue from his side.
