Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 71535, member: 636"] The Midlands Provincial Affairs Minister, Owen Ncube, has issued a strong warning against the misuse of farming inputs from the Pfumvudza Presidential Input Programme. He stated that anyone diverting the free inputs or soliciting payments for them would face legal prosecution, emphasizing a zero-tolerance policy toward corruption. Minister Ncube instructed distribution committees to ensure fair allocation, prioritizing vulnerable groups such as the elderly, the sick, and child-headed families. He advised provincial farmers to utilize the current rainfall for early planting and to diversify with drought-tolerant small grains. During the program's launch in Silobela, five hundred farmers and traditional leaders from Kwekwe district received inputs, including fertilizers and seeds. [/QUOTE]
