Sipepa-Nkomo wants Joseph Made fired

Samuel Sipepa-Nkomo, the MDC-T shadow minister for Agriculture, has called for the dismissal of Joseph Made from his position as minister of Agriculture.

Nkomo said Made, who has been at the helm of Agriculture, was out of his depth and could therefore not revive the sector.

Made, who is also Mugabe's farm manager, has always blamed perennial droughts or failure to grow enough crop to feed the nation.

But recently he predicted a bumper harvest after the good rains, a claim which has been challenged by lawmakers.
