Zimbabwe is facing a food crisis exacerbated by a drought, regarded as a direct result of the El Nino phenomenon, which causes abnormal warming of ocean temperatures and subsequent disruptions to global weather patterns.
Zimbabwe is committed to combating hunger amid the El Nino-induced drought through swift food distribution initiatives nationwide, President Emmerson Mnangagwa stated.
Mnangagwa underscored the pivotal role of traditional chiefs in ensuring timely food delivery, especially in rural areas. He highlighted the Zunde RaMambo/Isiphala SeNkosi program as a crucial mechanism for
providing immediate relief to vulnerable households, even before government aid reaches them.
To date, each of Zimbabwe's 1,970 wards has received five metric tons of food to replenish the Zunde program's stocks.
President Mnangagwa has directed government ministries to deliver essential services, including constructing and maintaining access roads, electrifying homes,
providing water and sanitation infrastructure, and implementing agricultural support programs.
In addition, the president has announced the allocation of 90 vehicles to traditional chiefs to aid their community development efforts.
