First Lady visits San community

First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa yesterday landed in the San community area of Makhulela in rural Plumtree aboard an Airforce chopper, becoming the first high-ranking official to arrive in such style in this remote part of the country in decades.

The spectacle was also the first to be witnessed by some of the San people in the area, many of who were seeing a helicopter at such close ranch for the first time.

Mnangagwa was in Makhulela village, about 100km from Plumtree town and a few kilometres from Mabhongwane Game Park, at the border with Botswana, a sanctuary
where the San stayed before they were removed by the government of former President Robert Mugabe in mid 1990s.
