The Minister of State in Masvingo Province Shuvai Mahofa says the latest cabinet directive instructing that the maize grown by Tongaat Hullet in Chiredzi be distributed in the province will go a long way in alleviating the food crisis.
Mahofa said at present the maize allocation for the province is failing to meet the requirements of the vulnerable households with at least 32 percent of the population in need of food aid.
Masvingo province has a monthly requirement of 5373 metric tonnes meant for the vulnerable households but only received 3 915 tonnes of maize leaving a deficit of 1 458
Mahofa (74) resumed duties on Tuesday last week after nearly four months on the sidelines suffering from an undisclosed ailment that saw her at one time hospitalised in South Africa.
She was initially expected to return to work on March 5, but postponed the date to regain strength.
She was last seen in the office before the 15th Zanu-PF Annual National People's Conference held in Victoria Falls where she reportedly went down following a stomach problem.
