On attaining independence in 1980, Zimbabwe inherited a complex land problem that came from the colonial policy of land distribution that was based on race. This policy and pattern of land distribution favored the white settler-community and multinational companies while the local indigenous population lost most of their rights to land. However, now there is general consensus that this situation is not sustainable, and there is need to redistribute land. Land subdivision is one of a number of options available to parcel out land from those who hold large and uneconomic farms. Key words: Subdivsion, large cormmecial farms, legal transfer.
