“…The acquisition process was not transparent as most of the affected people were neither consulted, nor compensated and where compensation was made, this was delayed. As a result, most of the affected people were not in support of the project and the displacement, hence, the resistance by some of the displaced persons (ibid, 2015; Konyana and Sipeyiye, 2015; Thondhlana, 2016).…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the statutory provisions as it concerns the practice of valuation for compensation of expropriated communal properties in Zimbabwe. The primary motivation was to have informed policies that would regulate the practice of landed property assessments for compensation purposes and further contributes to existing compensation debates. Design/methodology/approach A multiple case study approach was adopted, in which property valuation projects for Chiyadzwa and Tokwe-Mukosi, provinces were selected. These two projects were chosen because they are the most recent property valuation for compensation on expropriated communal properties. Content analysis was used to analyse the statutory provisions guiding property valuation and compensation rates adopted and used during the Chiyadzwa and Tokwe Mukosi valuation projects. Findings The study found an absence of statutory guidelines on the choice of valuation methodologies, leading to inconsistencies in compensation estimates for the communal properties. Research limitations/implications The study dwells on data from the previous assessment of communal properties that triggered discontentment amongst the people to build a framework for future valuations of communal properties. Practical implications This study reviewed the existing expropriation and compensation laws and built a comprehensive guiding framework for property valuers to choose appropriate valuation methodologies and procedures for the assessment of expropriated communal properties in Zimbabwe. Social implications The main motivation for this study is to find a lasting solution to frequent court cases and clashes between the government of Zimbabwe and the displaced people. Originality/value No study unravels the detailed property valuation processes used in determining the amount of payment for the expropriated communal properties in Zimbabwe. This study built a framework that will serve as a guide to the property valuers in the assessment of compensation for communal properties.

“…Failure to benefit from the development project In Zimbabwe, several studies were done on satisfaction with the expropriating authority's compensation (Marungwara, 2014;Konyana & Sipeyiye, 2015;Thondhlana, 2016;Vengesai & Schmidt, 2018;Mavhura, 2020;Gukurume & Nhondo, 2020). However, besides the existence of vast literature on the level of satisfaction of displaced people with the compensation offered/paid by the expropriating authority in Zimbabwe, no known study was done to establish the level of satisfaction of FCFs with the GCA provisions, since this study was concluded in the year 2020.…”

Zimbabwe's new administration indicated its willingness to end the compensation dispute, which lasted for two decadeswith former commercial farmers (FCFs), by signing the global compensation agreement (GCA). In the agreement, the Government of Zimbabwe (GoZ) offered to pay the sum of 3.5 billion, United States Dollars (USD) to the FCFs for their expropriated farmlands. A study carried out by the Valuation Consortium (Valcon) before the GCA signing revealed that most of the FCFs accepted the compensation offered by the expropriating authority.Thus far, no study has been done to assess the level of satisfaction of the affected FCFs, with the GCA provisions. Therefore, this study evaluated the views of FCFs and members of the Compensation Committee (MsCC) on this subject. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey which was mailed directly to the Chairperson of the FCFs, who sent it to other members to respond to issues raised. The study found mixed views by the FCFs on their levels of satisfaction with the GCA. Thus, the study concluded that compensation offered was not entirely 2 satisfactory because it did not include accruals for delayed payment, professional fees, and a detailed breakdown of the compensable heads of claim.
