Lusanda Bill
4 April 2011
Free State businessman Crawford von Abo today lost an appeal to have the South African government pay him for damages.
Today the Supreme Court of Appeal against him.
The SCA held on Monday that even though South Africa's response to Von Abo was inappropriate, it did not give him legal rights to financial compensation.
Von Abo built up a large farming enterprise over 50 years in Zimbabwe, but was left penniless after his 14 farms were virtually destroyed by land invasions.
He had, since 2008, tried to get the South African government to take diplomatic steps to address the violation of his rights in Zimbabwe.
