If you don't recall, back in the early 2000s, Zimbabwe's government kicked off a so-called "land reform" plan that drove white farmers off their land, often violently, and handed them over to Black Zimbabweans.

It got so bad that now, years later, Zimbabwe is actually paying those same white farmers for the buildings and equipment they lost.
