President Robert Mugabe’s wife, Grace says Zimbabwean farmers are not innovative.
Speaking at the Harare Agricultural Show, she said farmers need to improve themselves. Grace made the call after touring some of the stands where various agricultural equipment and products were on display.
Speaking to journalists after the tour, Grace said exhibitions at the agricultural show were impressive. She however called for the farmers to be “innovative in ensuring food security for the nation with much emphasis on small grains”.
“Let us conserve the environment,” she said.
She added praising local universities for coming up with different innovations, which she said should be supported.
“Our universities have students who are also very much raring to go in terms of technology. I saw a lot of things they are trying to do technologically and hopefully they will be supported so that they can compete with other international universities technologically,” she said.
Grace went on to say that tertiary institutions are doing well regarding the utilisation of technology though there is need for government to assist in funding some of the works being done at tertiary institutions.
Her port of call was the Women’s University in Africa stand then the Midlands State University stand.
She concluded the tour of tertiary institutions by stopping over at the Zimbabwe Ezekiel Guti University stand.
Tanaka Power, a firm which deals with agricultural equipment, was the centre of attraction for the tour with an exhibition of modern equipment dealing with veldt fires.
The First Lady also toured the POTRAZ stand, Miss Tourism Zimbabwe Trust, ZIMRA stand the Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce stand.
To conclude the tour, Grace’s entourage visited Gushungo Dairy where various products were on display.

  1. It’s our organization which is responsible for closing down Sylvester Nyatsuro’s Willows Medical Centre in Carlton, by applying pressure on Dr James Hopkinson and various other organizations in the UK. We are the same organization behind having Kasukuwere’s son kicked out of the UK. We should have him out within the next few months. We are also focusing our attention on +/-120 Zimbabwean owned companies in the UK with links to the ruling ZANU PF party and will hopefully have the majority of them closed within the next six to eight months and all those Zimbabweans working at or owning these companies will have their relevant visas cancelled and in turn sent back to Zimbabwe. We are fortunate in that we have a number of UK agencies working in close collaboration with us on these issues. Further to this, we have proof that a considerable number of Zimbabweans who have come to settle in the UK were involved in the looting of farm equipment which was stolen from the previous farmers. This farm equipment was then sold to pay for their air tickets, rents, school and university fees for their children, and in a number of cases set up businesses here in the UK. Those involved in these illegal activities back in Zimbabwe will be tried and sentenced here in the UK. We will see to it that this situation is never repeated again.
