Train the community, give them the tools and equipment, extension service and Dendairy comes to buy the produce.

Response to Chinamasa’s Statement.
Chinamasa is dishonest and it’s unfortunate. Three Cdes, myself, Mzembi and Zhuwao met @MYANC and whose deliberations and discussions remain privileged until the process is over. Attempts to personalize and malign will be ignored. The crisis is national in nature and cannot be reduced to individuals or factions. I am clear about how we should fix the legitimacy issues all round and will keep my eye on the ball. This is the main cause of our crisis.
