The founder and leader of the Coalition of Agricultural Graduates of Zimbabwe (CAGOZ) Kubvakacha Dickson walked away with the Perence Shiri Hurudza Award during the 4th edition of the glamorous Legacy Empowerment Awards held at the Zanu PF headquarters in Harare.
The event which was graced by Ministers Charles Tavengwa, Marian Chombo and Deputy Minister Tongai Munangangwa ran under the theme, "Inspiring Generations, Recognising The Enduring Power Of Legacy".
Minister Tavengwa was the guest of honour.
In his speech, Honorable Tavengwa said that the Legacy Empowerment Awards are meant to pay tribute to the remarkable individuals who have devoted their lives to upholding and advancing the legacy of the liberation struggle adding that they are an inspiration for future generations encouraging them to continue the work of building a strong and vibrant nation.
Receiving the award, the affable Buhera-born and bred Kubvacha felt humbled.
"See, having been born and bred in the hinterlands of Buhera, coming to Harare has been by God's grace. The journey has been arduous but we have been solid in our defence of this science we call agriculture. Despite lacking funding we have soldiered on, of course, joined by the unbreakable code of love, togetherness and purpose. I get satisfaction and fulfilment in seeing that our voluntary acts and deeds have finally been recognised. We did land reform success stories which saw us doing fantastic sold-out field days. For instance, we did one in Mashonaland Central Province at Ngodzani Farm, Mutisi Farm in Mashonaland West and in Buhera we did a capacity building program at Bangure in Buhera Central Constituency. So this is a score for the President of Zimbabwe and a score for the agriculture graduates constituency.I therefore dedicate this award to the people of Buhera and all the agricultural professionals in Zimbabwe. Our agriculture can only do better if professionals in the sector are coordinated so that they work together for the greater good," said Kubvakacha.
Legacy TV said they honour Kubvakacha's unwavering commitment to Zimbabwe's agricultural sector and that through his organisation they had assigned over 500 graduates to farms boosting harvests, produce quality and spearheading notable programs such as the Zimbabwe Rural Development, Technology Advancement and Knowledge Transfer Expo (Buhera North, Mutomba Village), Zimbabwe Urban and Peri Urban Farmers Development Expo(Churu Farm).
The prestigious award honors individuals or organisations that have made exceptional contributions to Zimbabwe's agricultural sector, exemplifying the visionary leadership and commitment of the late Cde Perence Shiri.
