Nothing is more painful than seeing young children left behind without the love and presence of their parents. Today was an emotional moment as we joined the Chivhayo, Muteke and Madzikanda families to bid farewell to their loved ones. In moments like these my message is simple: Let us choose peace, unity, love and forgiveness. Life is too short to carry hatred. I have witnessed generosity in my life but rarely have I seen a giving spirit like his. He extended his hand to people who were not even related to him. He gave not because he had to but because his heart allowed him to. To those whose lives he touched coming to say goodbye was more than paying respects. It was an opportunity to honour a man whose kindness gave others hope. True wealth is not measured by what we leave behind but by the lives we changed while we were here. Go well our brother. Your generosity will live in the hearts of those you helped. May God comfort the children and families left behind. Rest in eternal peace.

Today’s visit to Precabe Farm was truly inspiring. His Excellency President Dr. Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa invited Cabinet Ministers not simply to see a farm but to witness what vision, discipline, innovation and commitment can achieve in agriculture. We saw practical leadership in action as a powerful demonstration of how productive agriculture can strengthen food security, create opportunities and build a self sufficient Zimbabwe. The greatest lesson is that what we witnessed must not end at Precabe Farm. We must take the knowledge and inspiration back home, put it into practice and produce results. I look forward to a day when each of us can proudly invite His Excellency to our own farms and say “Mr President we learnt, we implemented and these are the results.” Thank you Your Excellency for continuing to lead, teach and inspire us by example. We have seen. We have learnt. Now we must produce.
