By Own Correspondent- Addressing hundreds of congregants at the Zion Christian Church’s (ZCC) “Zuva Romweya” annual conference in Chegutu recently, First lady Auxilia Mnangagwa urged women to embrace entrepreneurship to better their lives.

Said Mnangagwa:

“This year is the year of entrepreneurship. The theme applies to the whole church across the board. Students must be made to appreciate the essence of entrepreneurship.

“Church women must learn from many examples in the Bible where some women were as enterprising as they were prayerful. There is great potential for income generation through the castor bean oil seed production, fish farming, poultry projects, market gardening among others to be undertaken by women and youth clubs in many ZCC parishes.

“There are Government structures in every community which can offer technical assistance to all people who need help. If women can get sufficient support, they can be cornerstones of their households.

The saying ‘Mushamukadzi’ is an apt description of women who are organised, they will be enterprising and productive. I am confident that all women will not fail if given enough support in their projects.”-StateMedia
