Mukudzei Chingwere in MAKOROKORO, Mangwe
Vice President Dr Constantino Chiwenga is in Makorokoro Village, Jinjika, to assess the implementation of the Makorokoro Nutrition Garden, a project commissioned by President Mnangagwa in 2021.
Dr Chiwenga was welcomed by the Minister of State for Matabeleland Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Cde Albert Ngulube.
The visit marks the beginning of a three-day tour across Matabeleland South to ensure that local communities fully benefit from various Government initiatives.
The Vice President’s itinerary includes visits to several key projects across the province, including the Maphisa Arda Irrigation Scheme, Bishopstone Estate and Factory, Nottingham Estate, Palm River Energy Project, Gwanda Lithium Mine, Tuli-Manyange Dam, and Garanyemba Village Business Unit.
These projects are crucial components of the Government’s rural industrialisation drive, which seeks to uplift communities and ensure inclusive development.
“We are here to ensure that our people can fully leverage the benefits of these projects,” said VP Chiwenga.
“The Makorokoro Nutrition Garden is just one example of how we are working to improve food security and promote sustainable agriculture in our communities.”
Local leaders and community members have expressed optimism about the Vice President’s visit, with hopes it will lead to increased support for ongoing projects.
The Government has stressed that no one and no place is left behind in the country’s development journey.
