More than 20 houses have collapsed in Magazine area in Chief Kaingu’s Chiefdom in Itezhi Tezhi district in central province.

Chief Chipepo’s Representative in Gwembe District Winard Jumbabula has revealed that some farmers in Chipepo area have taken advantage of the current rains and are still planting maize.
Mr. Jumbabula tells Chikuni Radio News that during the prolonged dry spell the maize that planted earlier did not survive even after the rains came and farmers have no option but the re-plant.
