Woman Wanted For Stealing And Selling Presidential Farming Inputs
The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) is hunting for a Hurungwe woman, Sekai Zimbowa, for theft and sale of Presidential farming inputs. A police statement seen by Pindula News says Zimbowa was selling the stolen inputs at her shop in Hurungwe. Read the report:
Police in Tengwe are appealing for information which may lead to the arrest of Sekai Zimbowa (28) who is being sought in connection with a case of theft of Presidential inputs in which the suspect was selling the Presidential inputs at her shop at Makakara Business Centre on 15/11/23. The police have since recovered 91 X 50 kg bags of compound D fertilizers from the suspect’s shop.
ZRP is also investigating two other cases of theft involving Presidential inputs. One of the incidents took place on November 5, 2023, in Kyle Village, Rafingora, Mutorashanga. During the distribution process, 20 bags of 50 kg compound D fertilizers, 3 bags of 50 kg maize seed, and 3 bags of 50 kg vegetable seeds were stolen.
The other incident occurred on November 13, 2023, in Magunje, where 18 bags of 50 kg of Soya bean seeds were stolen. The ZRP is working to find those responsible for these thefts.
Farmers who are part of the Presidential Inputs Programme receive inputs free of charge. However, some beneficiaries facing poverty end up selling their share of inputs. In addition, there have been cases where officials steal the inputs intended for farmers and sell them. One such example is Douglas Karoro, who was eventually dismissed from his position as Deputy Minister of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water, and Rural Development.
