Harare - Zimbabwe's High Court issued a provisional order yesterday allowing squatters to stay on white farms they have invaded, pending a ruling on President Robert Mugabe's land seizure programme, state television reported.
The Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation reported that High Court Judge Godfrey Chidyausika's ruling late yesterday overturned an order by the Supreme Court earlier this month for the government to evict the squatters.
Meanwhile, Mr Mugabe fell and cut his head during an international conference on the northern Malaysian island of Langkawi, officials said yesterday. "The president is all right, that's all I can say," a Malaysian official said.
