12:30 ET<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nTanzanian police are investigating the hacking to death of a farm manager.<\/p>\n
The northern Manyara region police commander, Parmena Sumari, told the BBC his officers were searching for the killers of Sifael Jackson.<\/p>\n
Tanzanian journalist Benny Mwaipaja told the BBC a gang allegedly ambushed Mr Jackson’s car and killed him with spears, machetes and clubs.<\/p>\n
The murder comes amid strong opposition to the government’s promotion of big-scale farming.<\/p>\n
Invasions<\/span><\/p>\n“Mr Jackson was brutally killed and decapitated by a gang of about 15 people on Tuesday evening,” Mr Mwaipaja told the BBC.<\/p>\n
Some residents in the region accuse the government of threatening their livelihood by allocating land to big commercial farmers, including foreigners, he says.<\/p>\n
But the government says its policy is aimed at boosting food production and ensuring that land is not under-utilised.<\/p>\n
At least four farms have been invaded this year near Babati town in Manyara region, with fields torched and property destroyed.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda sent a high-level delegation of cabinet ministers to the region in February to investigate the conflict.<\/p>\n
The delegation warned local communities that they would face arrest and prosecution if they failed to stop the attacks.<\/p>\n
Mr Mwaipaja said the government was concerned that the violence would scare away foreign investors who it believed were helping Tanzania’s “Green Revolution”.<\/p>\n
The government’s campaign to promote large-scale commercial farming is a dramatic reversal of the socialist policies it advocated after independence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
