1 000ha of wheat under threat

lands after the reservoir that used to supply water ran dry.

The upstream Mushandike Dam dried up leaving nearly 2 000 plot-holders facing an uncertain future. The situation has compromised food security in the area and Masvingo City.
Plot-holders at Mu-shandike have already given up on salvaging their crops.
Mushandike Irrigation Scheme Farmers’ Trust chairperson, Mr Rodgers Matsikidze, on Tuesday said the situation was precarious.
