Looks like the local party machine is pushing a big women's economic blitz. The Harare provincial leadership of Zanu-PF has launched a series of programs aimed at empowering women across the city's six zones. Provincial chairperson Barbara Mwale outlined the initiatives, which include expanding poultry projects, distributing sewing machines, and providing direct financial support. She stated the party sold roughly two hundred thousand chickens in Harare through these efforts, with women receiving training in rearing and marketing.
The support involved incubators for chicks, credited as coming from President Emmerson Mnangagwa through the party's Women's League Secretary Mabel Chinomona, and ten sewing machines allocated to each zone. Mwale reported distributing over two thousand chicks to continue expanding the poultry program. Financial backing took the form of grants to women's savings groups, with three zones receiving one thousand five hundred dollars each and the remaining three getting one thousand dollars to promote internal lending. Mwale framed the overall campaign as a move toward inclusivity and economic independence, explicitly linking the efforts to mobilizing women voters and ensuring their participation in national development.
