Zanu-PF Deputy Secretary for Youth Affairs Lewis Matutu launched goat-rearing project in Chikombedzi last week and said its objective was to economically empower youths in Masvingo Province.
The project has 100 she goats so far and the aim is for Masvingo to be the major goat meat producer. Said Matutu:
The Youth League has seen it necessary to kick-start empowerment projects for the benefit of our rural youths who have been very loyal to the party. Here in Chikombedzi, we are starting the project with 100 she-goats, which will form the backbone of our breeding programme that seeks to produce hybrid goats that will give beneficiaries quality goat meat for the export market. Our goal is to produce as many goats as we can within a short period of time because we want to be a major goat meat producer.
