This event celebrated HE President Dr ED Mnangagwa and the Ruling Revolutionary ZANU PF's majority lead in the 2023 General Elections. During the festivities, a transformative women's empowerment initiative was launched under the leadership of Hon Minister of Women Affairs, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises Development Senator Monica Mutsvangwa (in absentia), alongside Hon Patricia ‘Trish’ Kundhlande, Women Quota MP, and ZANU PF Manicaland Women’s League Chairlady Cde Mercy Sacco pooled their resources to expand upon a recent initiative whose brainchild was from the National Women’s League Secretary-General Marble Chinomona, who provided 10 hatcheries to women across the country’s Provinces. With their contributions, the trio purchased eight high-capacity egg incubators for a total of USD 2,240, which will support the Provincial Livestock Hatchery Initiative in Manicaland’s eight Districts. This brings the total number of hatcheries donated to Manicaland Province under the ZANU PF Women’s League to nine, when including the one donated by Cde Marble Chinomona. The initiative received the full endorsement of the Provincial Premier Hon Advocate Misheck 'Pakuru' Mugadza, Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution in the OPC Office of the President and Cabinet and MP for Mutasa South, alongside Provincial ZANU PF Chair Cde Tawanda 'Gomoguru' Mukodza, ZANU PF National Women's League Secretary Cde Marble Chinomona (in absentia), and Hon Sam Matema, MP for Buhera Central and ZANU PF Manicaland Provincial Member (Main Wing) and Party Spokesperson. The host District, Zimunya-Marange, under Chief Clayton Zimunya (who was also present at this historic occasion), was represented by MP Hon Tawanda Dumbarimwe and Ward 13 Councillor Sembo. The project builds upon the success of a similar hatchery program at recently commissioned at Kukwanisa Vocational Training Centre in Mutasa Central, further expanding economic opportunities for women across Manicaland's eight Districts comprising Buhera, Chimanimani, Chipinge, Nyanga, Mutasa, Mutare, Zimunya-Marange, and Makoni. Hon Advocate Mugadza, speaking from an administrative perspective, emphasized: “As the implementing arm of Government's Devolution agenda, we are ensuring these incubators translate into tangible economic benefits. This project has been carefully structured to align with Provincial development plans and NDS1 targets for women's economic participation." He added, "My office will from time to time monitor progress to ensure every District achieves maximum productivity from this initiative." Cde Mukodza, addressing the political significance, stated: “This initiative demonstrates ZANU PF's unwavering commitment to women's empowerment as part of our revolutionary legacy. The Party stands firmly behind HE President Dr ED Mnangagwa's Vision of creating an inclusive economy where women lead development." He further noted, “These incubators represent more than equipment - they are tools for fulfilling the Party's promise of prosperity for all." Hon Sam Matema, wearing his dual hats as MP and Party Spokesperson, remarked: “In Buhera and across Manicaland, we're witnessing the Second Republic's promises materialize. This project perfectly illustrates how Government and Party work hand-in-glove to deliver development." He added, “As the Party's voice in the Province, I assure all beneficiaries that ZANU PF will continue championing such life-changing initiatives." Hon Trish Kundhlande, a champion of women's rights, remarked: “For too long, rural women have been excluded from economic opportunities. Today, we change that narrative." She added, “With these hatcheries, we're not just producing eggs—we're hatching prosperity." Cde Mercy Sacco echoed the sentiment: “The Women's League is more united that ever before in its resolve to economically emancipate women and stands firmly behind initiatives that uplift our communities. This project will create jobs and improve livelihoods." She also stated, “When women thrive, the Nation thrives—this is the essence of the Second Republic's development agenda under HE President Dr ED Mnangagwa and we will make sure that we deliver on President Mnangagwa and our Ruling Revolutionary Party’s 2023 electoral promises." Debra Chiweshe, a representative of Zimunya-Marange District, expressed gratitude: “Our women are ready to work hard. This initiative will not only feed families but also reduce poverty in our district." The hatchery project is set to enhance food and nutrition security while combating the six major childhood killer diseases especially malnutrition. With strong attendance from all eight Districts of Manicaland, the event reaffirmed Government's commitment to gender equality and sustainable development in the Great Republic of Zimbabwe. Aligned with the NDS1 — National Development Strategy, this initiative reinforces the Second Republic's dedication to breaking economic barriers for women, ensuring their full participation in the journey toward Upper-Middle-Income-Status enclave by 2030. The collaborative approach between Government Administration and Party structures ensures effective implementation and monitoring of this transformative project across Manicaland Province. #womenempowerment #devolution #nds1 #uppermiddleincome2030 #manicalanddevelopment //ENDS// ______________________________ Join me on my socials; Key National and Regional Initiatives 🇿🇼Head of State of the Great Republic of Zimbabwe and Current SADC Summit Chair: His Excellency President Dr. Emmerson Dambudzo (ED) Mnangagwa The Great Republic of Zimbabwe National Vision 2030: Towards a prosperous and empowered upper middle-income society by 2030 SADC Regional Vision 2050: Promoting innovation to unlock opportunities for sustained economic growth and development towards an industrialized SADC Follow Us on Social Media x.com (formerly Twitter) Accounts: - [SADC for ED](https://x.com/sadc4ed?s=21) - [Maxwell Teedzai](https://x.com/maxwellteedzai?s=21) - [News MTBN TV](https://x.com/newsmtbntv?s=21) - [Zim Atlas Desk](https://x.com/zimatlas_desk?s=21) - [Presidency Zimbabwe](https://x.com/presidencyzim1?s=21) - [GRZ Girls Amnandi](https://x.com/grzgirlsamnandi?s=21) Facebook Accounts: - [Facebook Link 1](https://www.facebook.com/share/163cU4zEYq/?mibextid=wwXIfr) - [Facebook Link 2](https://www.facebook.com/share/1M5ZEbsGiV/?mibextid=wwXIfr) - [Facebook Link 3](https://www.facebook.com/share/12JC243UZ94/?mibextid=wwXIfr) WhatsApp Channels: - [WhatsApp Channel 1](https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaCHZKSHVvTk6ZqLnB3v) - [WhatsApp Channel 2](https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VadE4PqLNSZxRd7eU30a) - [WhatsApp Channel 3](https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb3Gg6cHQbS3J54OnB0p) - [WhatsApp Channel 4](https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VatH0JlAojYn9S3s7H3o) - [WhatsApp Channel 5](https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb0xZr4EFeXnmgH4Kf1d) YouTube Channel: - [MTBN TV YouTube](https://youtu.be/zW8WmduWiJU) Website: - [MTBN TV Website](https://mtbntv.wordpress.com) Tagline: Bridging voices – Fostering unity.
