Mugabe has previously acknowledged that handing vast tracts of land to inexperienced black owners was a mistake. Zimbabwe produced enough food to feed its people for the first time since adopting a controversial policy to strip land from white farmers, President Robert Mugabe told parliament on Tuesday.
