By James Gwati- Vice President Constantino Chiwenga said Zimbabwe could soon be supplying the whole world with leather I would have from cattle his fellow Zanu PF Junta snatched from former white commercial farmers at the turn of the millennium.

Surprisingly, all the cattle breeds the Zanu PF big wigs stole from white farmers they chased away from their farms during the controversial land reform program in 2000, were either slaughtered or sold.

Also because of the way Harare took back farms from the white farmer, Zimbabwe was slapped with sanctions and can not trade with the west.

“This (sanctions) is now behind us. We no longer talk of sanctions; the land has been reunited with its people and the people with their land and that is now over. We now move on,” said Chiwenga when he was delivering his keynote address to mark the official launch of the Zimbabwe Leather Sector Strategy (2021-2030) in Bulawayo on Friday.

“That period has given us the chance, the time to think outside the box and we now have to rebuild our livestock and leather products. We want all of us, not in the too distant future, to talk about the best leather in Zimbabwe globally. Zimbabwean leather has to be the best and that way we will rebuild our glorious past,” he said.
