State Media|President Emmerson Mnangagwa has commended the Zimbabwe Manpower Development Fund (ZIMDEF) for introducing a new work ethic that focuses on its mandate of enhancing skills development at various institutions of higher and tertiary education in the country.

The Zimbabwe Manpower Development Fund (ZIMDEF) was established in 1984 to enhance the development of skilled manpower in Zimbabwe with funding coming from a levy charged on all registered companies operating in the country.

With so much money-spinning off this noble arrangement, former Higher Education Minister Professor Jonathan Moyo, allegedly pilfered these proceeds and bought bicycles for Tsholotsho community leaders to fulfill a selfish political agenda.

That is a thing of the past, stated President Emmerson Mnangagwa after touring exhibition stands at the Annual Zanu Pf National People’s Conference Business Expo currently in Goromonzi, Mashonaland East province.

Beyond the new times rolling at Zimdef, President Mnangagwa also commended seed companies for promoting the uptake of small grains which are drought tolerant in the face of negative effects of climate change.

The President, who was accompanied on the tour by the First Lady Amai Auxillia Mnangagwa, Vice Presidents Retired General Constantino Chiwenga and Cde Kembo Mohadi, National Chairperson Oppah Muchinguri-Kashiri and other senior government and party officials, took his time interacting with exhibitors showing zeal to understand their operations.
