HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) - A court handed a suspended sentence Thursday to the first white farmer convicted of defying an order to vacate his property under Zimbabwe's campaign to put more land in black hands.
A Harare magistrate gave Deon Theron, a vice president of the white-dominated Commercial Farmers Union, one month to leave his farm and a six-month prison sentence, suspended for five years on condition he does not violate the Land Act.
Theron's lawyer said he would appeal the conviction and sentence.
