This article explores the ways in which land redistribution efforts in Zimbabwe contribute to the building of constructive intercommunal relationships and a sustainable peace. Paradoxical questions are conceptualized and analysis and recommendations offered, elicited from stakeholder communities. For theorists interested in reconciliation, this case points towards the need for critical reflection into the ways in which social and economic relationships and structures factor into peace‐building.
