Villagers hopeful of bumper harvest

As a result, Makobo village was a hive of activity over the past weekend as many people could be seen in their fields, doing bush clearing and mending fences ready for ploughing. Tractor owners have also serviced their machines to prepare them for clients who want to have their fields ploughed by tractor.

Chingo Maphorisa, a well-known farmer in the village, who never allows a year to slip by without ploughing her field, was among those preparing their fields.
