Zimbabwe’s first lady Grace Mugabe has teamed up with Irvine’s to embark on a national poultry training programme that is expected to run until the end of September.
Matabeleland North Women’s League provincial chairperson Medeline Bhebhe who spoke to The Herald said Grace came up with the poultry project to empower disadvantaged women. Bhebhe also revealed that the first chicks that were given by Grace died before reaching maturity. Bhebhe could not disclose the exact number of women, who are set to benefit from the programme saying over 400 women would be trained.
