Nestle has vowed to stop buying milk from a farm owned by the wife of Zimbabwe’s president Robert Mugabe. The Switzerland-based multinational, which recently admitted sourcing milk from Grace Mugabe’s Gushungo Dairy Estate, announced it would now only buy from the Dairy Board of Zimbabwe. Human rights activists had called for a boycott of Nestle products because the farm was seized from its white owner under Mugabe’s controversial land reforms.
