Mugabe orders defiant farmers to leave
But he said loyal farmers willing to co-operate with his government would not be left completely landless.
"All genuine and well-meaning white farmers who wish to pursue a farming career as loyal citizens of this country will have land to do so," he said.
After ignoring government orders throwing them off their land, hundreds of white farmers had anxiously awaited Mr Mugabe's annual Hero's Day address, which marks the guerrilla war that ended white rule more than two decades ago.
The deadlock between white farmers and the government continued for a fourth day yesterday. Farmers remaining on their land reported no action to forcibly evict them since the deadline at midnight on Thursday.
And Mr Mugabe stopped short of calling for immediate action against defiant farmers. But those who "want another war should think again when they still have time to do so", he said.
He said no white farmer need go without land but his government would not allow whites to remain on large properties or own more than one farm while clinging to ties with former colonial power Britain.
"To those who want to own this country for Britain, the game is up and it is time for them to go where they belong. There is no room for rapacious supremacists," he said.
Nearly 3,000 white farmers have been ordered to leave their land as part of the country's often violent programme to seize white-owned farms and give them to landless blacks. The government has targeted 95% of white-owned farms for seizure.
Senior government officials have warned white farmers they face arrest and imprisonment of up to two years if they continue to defy eviction orders.
The government says its "fast track" land seizure programme was launched in 2000 as a final effort to correct colonial era injustices.
Critics say it is part of the increasingly authoritarian government's effort to maintain power amid more than two years of economic chaos and violence mainly blamed on the ruling party.
The evictions deadline came as half Zimbabwe's 12.5 million people face a severe hunger crisis, according to the UN's World Food Programme.
It blames the crisis on drought combined with the agricultural chaos caused by the seizures of farms.
Mr Mugabe's regime had ordered 2,900 of the nation's 4,500 white commercial farmers to give up their land without compensation.
Mr Mugabe said: "We, the principled people of Zimbabwe, we, the true owners of this land, shall not budge. We shall not be deterred on this one vital issue, the land. The land is ours."
As many as 60% of the country's white farmers defied the eviction orders and remained on their land.
"No farmer to our knowledge has been rendered landless. Only the greedy are complaining," Mugabe said.
Justice for Agriculture, a group urging farmers to challenge the evictions in court, said at least 1,000 farmers affected by eviction orders owned only one property. The group took no solace from Mugabe's speech.
"We would be much happier if words were met with action on the ground," said Jenni Williams, spokeswoman for the group.
