Own Correspondent|Acting President Constantino Chiwenga on Saturday rushed to President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s farm in Kwekwe after a group of female bikers visited the First Lady at the farm.

The unexpected call on Mnangagwa’s farm by Chiwenga is described by state media and ZANU PF loyalists as just a visit by the acting President on Mnangagwa who is supposed to be enjoying his vacation at his Pricabe Farm in Sherwood, Kwekwe.

The sudden arrival of Chiwenga at the farm raises eyebrows as the former Army General stormed in shortly after a group of female bikers rode into the President’s farm.

On Saturday, a nine-member all-women’s biking team comprising five Zimbabweans — Pauline Dana, Chengetai Makawa, Cynthia Ncube, Natasha Mutsvairo, Nomathemba Magwaza — one Belgian, one Canadian and two South Africans paid a courtesy visit on First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa at the First Family’s farm in Kwekwe.

The innocent female bikers took the opportunity to get photos with the country’s leaders though they could not understand how the two leaders happened to be together at the the time they were on their predestined visit to the farm.

The First Lady was left spell-bound by the bikers who provided her with escort services from her farm to the main road, while they mesmerised onlookers with their amazing skills.

The female bikers, who are representing their countries, are on a six-day relay covering 2 000 kilometres.

“It’s all-women bikers and they escorted me along Sherwood Road,” said the First Lady.

The First Lady gave the women words of encouragement and wished them well on their journey.

The women bikers, who are on a six-day relay, started off in Botswana last Thursday, rode to Bulawayo, Gweru and Harare. The journey will take them to Nyamapanda then to Tete where they will pass the button to another all-female group of riders from Malawi.

Pricabe Farm manager, and young brother to the President, Mr Patrick Mnangagwa, yesterday confirmed the surprise visit by the Acting President.

He said the two were relaxed at the farm while talking farming.

“I took the Acting President Chiwenga together with the President on a tour of the farm starting with the soya,” said Mr Mnangagwa.

“We also toured the maize field and the pump station. It was not a planned programme, so the two had time together as they relaxed at the farm after the tour.”

Mr Mnangagwa said Acting President Chiwenga was impressed by the work being done at the farm.
