All considerations in this treatise show that there is a closer connection between people and land. Historically and in contemporary period many people depend on land.

All considerations in this treatise show that there is a closer connection between people and land. Historically and in contemporary period many people depend on land. It is on land that people live, work, pray and are buried. Most of the violence experienced in Africa is land related. For both pastoralists and agricultural communities land is a fundamental source from which they draw their subsistence. People who have no land to cultivate or graze animals are poor. Hence landlessness is poverty. As a result, fighting for land is a fundamental right which the church and government must uphold. The issue of land in Zimbabwe can be treated from different angles. In our case we have attempted to expose land reform in the light of the communion between the living and varipasi (those in the soil). While we recognize the need to address the legacy of land inequality with land redistribution, the approach used has caused a lot of political crisis. The privilege of handholding is a matter of justice and right. It seeks to address inequalities. Land reform is a spiritual issue. Its effects must promote stability and solidarity.
