George Maponga in Masvingo—
Chivi Rural District Council has successfully collected grain from villagers to help feed families at the Nuanetsi Ranch in Mwenezi, displaced by the Tokwe-Mukosi dam, contrary to reports last week. Chivi RDC chairman councillor Killer Zivhu last Friday held a Press conference where he showed journalists tonnes of grain that have so far been collected and is stocked at the district offices.
He appealed to Government for transport to help ferry more grain donated by the villagers which was still being offered and is expected to surpass the targeted 100 tonnes.
Besides transport to ferry the donated maize, Clr Zivhu also appealed for grain bags following an overwhelming response by villagers in the district to a distress call to feed the flood victims.
About 65 percent of the nearly 3 000 families displaced came from Nemauzhe and Shindi communal lands in Chivi.
