Piggery project empowers Kadoma woman

ARMED with little capital, but much drive to improve her and her siblings’ lives, Pride Dzirutsa, a 30-year-old Zimbabwean decided to empower herself through a free-ranging pig rearing project on a farm she inherited in 2017.

Situated in Kadoma, 142km south-west of Harare, the once virgin 100-hectare property is now home to almost 200 Mukota, Duroc and Large White crosses, all because of Dzirutsa’s never-say-die spirit.

Starting off was not a stroll in the park as she had just two Duroc sows which she had bought from the Pig Industry Board (PIB).
