Interest in agriculture underlines gains of Independence
Leroy Dzenga
CHIMURENGA, in all its installations was a war for land. The history behind the liberation war and the fight for independence was rooted in the deprivation of a resource, indigenes had known as infinite and abundant.
It is, therefore, a cause for celebration, that Zimbabwe is arguably the only country in the world that has successfully managed to achieve a comprehensive land reform programme post colonisation. Other countries can only marvel at the tea-pot-shaped nation’s revolutionary achievements.
At last week`s Post-Cabinet briefing, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa announced that this year’s independence theme is; ‘Zim@41-Together, Growing our Economy for a Prosperous, Resilient and Inclusive Society.’ The theme speaks to the national mood, where people from different backgrounds are in search of opportunities through agriculture.
