Munetsi Kadzinga, 31, convicted of murdering farmer Charles Anderson in 2002, was sentenced to death by the Zimbabwe High Court.
"The court is of the unanimous opinion that there are no extenuating circumstances in this case. It follows that I have no option but to impose the morally invidious but legally inescapable sentence of death upon the accused," high court Judge Bharat Patel was quoted as saying.
Kadzinga and an accomplice ransacked Anderson's farmhouse in Mashonaland central province in June 2002. Kadzinga shot and killed Anderson, a father of two, as he arrived back home with his family before escaping with a vehicle and looted property.
Earlier in the trial Patel dismissed Kadzinga's claim that he had been told to carry out attacks on white farmers by senior government officials, including the then-Home Affairs Minister, John Nkomo.
