Chiadzwa villagers turn to fishery

VILLAGERS in the diamond-rich Chiadzwa area have embarked on fishery and irrigation projects to sustain their families after realising that diamonds revenue was eluding them.

NewsDay this week toured the projects in Mukwada village where over 250 families are participating in the projects.

The villagers are keeping tilapia fish and growing beans among other crops on a five-hectare piece of land under irrigation.
