To show his commitment, the revered guitarist has since started clearing his plot in Mvurwi in preparation for the new farming season.
“We have been indoors for the past 12 months or so doing nothing at home due to the Covid-19 but this year I have decided to venture into farming at my plot in Mvurwi.

“My plot measures 10 hectares but now four hectares of land have been cleared.
“We will start with maize and of course tobacco which I hear fetches good money on the market.

“Farming is something I grew up doing back in the day but had stopped due to music commitments but I am going back into farming and tobacco is one of the crops that are in my mind,” he said.
