Trust ventures into fish farming

Nyasha Mapasa Herald Correspondent
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.
