President Mnangagwa, First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa and
Acting President Constantino Chiwenga pose for a photograph with Zimbabwe’s Ambassador
for the Women Riders World Relay Natasha Mutsvairo at the First Family’s farm
in Kwekwe on Saturday.
Acting President Constantino Chiwenga on Saturday visited
President Mnangagwa, who is enjoying his vacation at his Pricabe Farm in
Sherwood, Kwekwe.
The two, who, besides being the first and second citizens
of this country, are long-time friends. They spent the whole day chatting and
touring the President’s farm.
President Mnangagwa is a passionate farmer, with over 350
hectares of soya and about 400 hectares of maize under irrigation. He has a
405-hectare farm and is renting pieces of land on neighbouring farms.
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.
On Unity Day last year, President Mnangagwa hosted over 18
political party leaders under the Political Actors Dialogue (Polad) at his farm
at their request. The politicians said they were inspired by the President’s
farming prowess. Herald
