Harare - A bail application of a Zimbabwean white farmer charged with murder over violence on his land was postponed yesterday as President Robert Mugabe's government accused farmers of "economic terrorism".

A judge put off the bail hearing for three days of Mr John Bibby (70), who was arrested with more than 20 of his labourers after two government supporters died in clashes on his land on September 15th.
