Mlungwana said with small-scale farming families would be able to sustain themselves.
“We are seeing continued unemployment in this country because many families live from hand to mouth while others rely on government grants. Ours is to give messages of hope for a better future where our people escape poverty,” he said.
During the visit, they donated seeds as a start-up for the beneficiaries. Mlungwana said they would visit the sites to assess progress.
“We want to see this project through to ensure the beneficiaries end up being able to supply to the local shops and even big retailers with their produce,” he said.
