Food surplus this year: President
Harmony Agere
ZIMBABWE is on course to achieving food surplus this year, resulting from the Command Agriculture and Pfumvudza/Intwasa programmes which are part of the legacy of the late national hero, Ambassador Douglas Nyikayaramba, President Mnangagwa has said.
Speaking at the National Heroes Acre yesterday, the President said Ambassador Nyikayaramba played a key role in supporting the country’s agriculture programmes.
“He leaves this world when the sector which he helped shape and move, has made a very promising performance this season. The impact of the innovative Pfumvudza/Intwasa Programme has been encouraging. Equally, our large-scale commercial farmers have done well.
We’re set for bumper harvest, says President

THE late national hero, Ambassador Douglas Nyikayaramba, who succumbed to Covid-19-related complications on Tuesday, leaves behind a legacy of humility, servant leadership and patriotism, President Mnangagwa has said.
A decorated military general, war veteran and diplomat, Ambassador Nyikayaramba was the country’s chief diplomat to Mozambique, where he played a leading role in promoting regional peace at a time the neighbouring country was under siege from insurgents.
Speaking during his burial at the National Heroes Acre in Harare yesterday, the President urged the nation to honour the late national hero by defending his legacy.
