[dArKeR]

Windhoek - Namibian President Sam Nujoma on Wednesday slammed "racist" white farmers who have claimed the government's land reform programme lacks transparency and threatened to punish anyone who evicted black workers.

In a televised speech, Nujoma took a swipe at a farmers' support group which recently said the farm expropriation process was not transparent because the lands ministry did not define the criteria.

"I want to make it categorically clear to minority racist commercial farmers whose objective it is to distort the facts concerning the government's land reform and expropriation policy, that the land question in Namibia is a sensitive issue.
