Marange Zimunya Community Share Ownership Trust has embarked on a fish farming project in Odzi that is expected to help generate income for villagers and boost their nutrition.
The Trust is funding the project and has since constructed a small dam in Ward 3.
Ward 3 Councillor Moses Mujaji confirmed the development.
“We saw that there was a shortage of breams on the market. The majority of people are only consuming mackerel. We saw this as a business opportunity that will see the whole community benefiting.”
Clr Mujaji is confident the project will benefit many households.
“This is a good project for the community, which if implemented well and monitored properly, can generate good income for the community,” he said.
“As a start, we are targeting a minimum of 100 families to benefit from this.”
The CSOT constructed and fenced a dam at Mumwahuku River.
It will this month put 100kg of Kariba bream into the dam.
