adminMugabe said women were naturally farmers.
“By nature we are farmers. I personally grew up in the village and I am proud to say we are hardworking. Women always try their best to grow crops,” she said.
Amai Mugabe said during the colonial era most women stayed in villages farming while men were working in factories in urban centres.
She said most people who were educated were raised through the proceeds from farming, adding that agriculture was the backbone of the country’s economy.
“That is the reason why Government decided that people should get back their land,” Amai Mugabe said.
The First Lady and her sons, Robert Junior and Bellarmine Chatunga, yesterday toured several stands at the show. Amai Mugabe said the exhibitions were better than last year.
Recently Amai Mugabe visited Zambia where President Mugabe officially opened that country’s agricultural show.
“I was impressed by the exhibitions in Zambia and we must work hard,” she said.
