Abalimi bezigabeni zeMatabeleland lezinye ezingatholi izulu elaneleyo sebekhuthazwe ukusebenzisa indlela entsha yokulima yokulondoloza amanzi ukuze bathole isivuno esingcono ngoba indlela zokulima ezijwayelekileyo zingasalethi nzuzo.

Uthi izilimo zitshile akulasivuno kulumango ngaphandle kwalapho okwasetshenziswa indlela le yokulima egcina amanzi emhlabathini okwesikhathi lanxa izulu lingaphuza ukuna.
Umnumzana Maphosa uthi uyakhuthaza abalimi ukuthi basebenzise lindlela yokulima kulokuthi bebebephuma ijumo likamabuyaze minyaka yonke.
Uthi lindlela yokulima ilomsebenzi omnengi kodwa iyanceda ukuze abantu bengabulawa yindlala.
UNcube uthi baphatheke emsebenzini wokufundisa abalimi lindlela entsha yokulima bekhangelele ukuthi kube yiyo ecina isetshenziswa endaweni zonke ezisilela izulu ukuze kuqedwe udubo lwendlala.

Uthi kajayelanga ukuthola isivuno esingaka nxa esebenzisa ehaza umquba lenhlanyelo.
Uthi uhlangothi lukahulumende lwe agricultural extension ngoMgqibelo lumnike isithupha sokulima kanye lekhuba, inhlanyelo le wheel barrow ngokulima okubukekayo akwenze lonyaka.
