WINDHOEK (Reuters) - A Southern African Development Community tribunal has asked a regional summit of heads of state to consider a request by a white farmer to suspend the Zimbabwe government from the group over its seizure of his land.
The tribunal in 2008 ruled in favour of 78 white farmers fighting against the seizure of their land by President Robert Mugabe's government, but Harare has ignored the verdict.
In the latest application to the tribunal, farmer Louis Karel Fick wants SADC leaders to suspend Zimbabwe until it upholds the tribunal's order to return confiscated land or compensate farmers for lost property.
