She nonetheless did not throw in the towel; she persevered and ultimately grabbed the coveted Grand Champion prize in the sorghum category in this year’s national agricultural exhibition competitions held recently.

She sailed through to the national exhibition finals  after scooping position one at the Masunga Agricultural Show. “I am happy that at long last I managed to grab the Grand Champion prize after missing out by a thin margin in the past. On several occasions I managed to scoop either position two or three and that never deterred me from fighting on,” she said.
