“Mashonaland Central has become the latest domestic tourist attraction due to masawu products being made at Bindura University,” said Prof Mwenje.
“Masawu boosts the immune system and we have a variety of products like Yoghurt, cakes, beverages, among others.
“We are scientists and our products have all passed the tests and they are ready for the market.
“A number of villagers in Mashonaland Central are now earning a living from collecting and selling masawu.
“We have three students who are now working in Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the United States of America.
“Zimbabwe has everything that it needs in terms of skills to take the nation to higher levels.
“We are now fighting to bridge the gap between our industry and our academia so that the graduates fit into our local industries and we avoid the brain drain.”
