Award winning businesswoman, Divine Ndhlukula who owns Securico Security Services is also a successful farmer in Chivhu.
She has said she became a farmer by accident. Her brother who had inherited a family farm had run it down and a bank was set to foreclose. She then bought Zvikomborero Farm and the rest is history.
“In short, I think I got into farming by default and not by design. What happened is my late father bought that farm and when he died my brother inherited it because that is what the customary thinking says. But obviously my brother was not a keen farmer. He held to the piece of land for close to 10 years and did not pay rates.
“At some point he took a loan on the farm and when he failed to service the loan, the farm was almost being auctioned by the bank.”
She breeds livestock and goats and trains other farmers as well.
