Hurungwe Chief Mjinga Mutenhe Madadairwa aged (75) is bitter that tobacco farmers are doing lot of injustice to the environment and are therefore enemies from within communities.
He is aggrieved that communal farmers under his jurisdiction in Hurungwe East joined tobacco farming and are destroying forests.
One of the affected areas is within Tengwe, formerly a prime farming area that produces cash crops including tobacco, soya beans, maize and wheat in Hurungwe district within Mashonaland West.
He added, ‘‘Tobacco has brought a lot of devastation around our communities. We have witnessed unwarranted natural destruction of nature around,’’
Besides earning the country foreign currency of over one billion US dollars, Zimbabwe’s golden leaf farming has forced the country to witness deforestation where resettled farmers on large tracks of land have left it bare facing desertification.
