Well yes, but that does ignore the story of how white farmers came to own most of the best farmland in Zimbabwe. Obviously the way they went about rectifying that historical iniquity was just about the worst approach possible, but that doesn't change the underlying problem. As we see in South Africa the alternative might be better for the economy, at least for a while, but results in very little change. Instead of simply scolding people it can help to understand why they did what they did, and what reasonable alternatives exist.
