A Naivasha company has sued the cash-strapped flower firm Twiga Roses, formerly Karuturi Limited, seeking to eject it from its land over unpaid land rent and illegal acquisition.
Indian company Estina was given a free 99-year lease to a 4,400 ha farm, as well as a guaranteed R114-million per year for the construction and running of the farm, but cash was siphoned out of the country as quickly as the South African public paid it over.

Suite mais pas fin de la vive tension après les affrontements entre forces de l'ordre et le collectif des paysans de Diokoul, au Sénégal, qui s'opposent au projet agricole de 10 000 ha de SenegIndia.
Après les affrontements entre forces de sécurité et populations de Diokoul, le litige connait enfin son épilogue avec le renoncement et le retrait des indiens de ces terres.
Elles se sont déclarées prêtes à s’immoler par le feu, à l’image des femmes de Nder, au cas où leurs terres ne leur seraient pas restituées.
Mais les protestataires mettent en avant la décision de la Cour Suprême qui a suspendu les travaux du projet Senegindia.
On June 20, a conflict broke out between police and farmers in Diokoul, Senegal, as the farmers tried to prevent Senegindia from putting barbed wire around a 1,000 ha area which it's taking from them.
