This formed part of her regional familiarisation tour in the Zambezi Region to assess and address the ongoing locust outbreak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDuring this visit, she met with the constituency councillor and the Induna, who raised concerns regarding the need for the rehabilitation of boreholes in the area. Hon. Maseka also visited the dilapidated Linyati Agricultural Development Centre (ADC), where she directed the regional staff to initiate the rehabilitation process. She further called for the immediate filling of the vacant agricultural technician position to ensure the office provides necessary and effective service to the public and offers the necessary support,\u201d the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water, and Land Reform said.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Maseka-calls-for-urgent-repairs-at-dilapidated-Linyati-ADC-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-372746\" srcset=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Maseka-calls-for-urgent-repairs-at-dilapidated-Linyati-ADC-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Maseka-calls-for-urgent-repairs-at-dilapidated-Linyati-ADC-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Maseka-calls-for-urgent-repairs-at-dilapidated-Linyati-ADC-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Maseka-calls-for-urgent-repairs-at-dilapidated-Linyati-ADC-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Maseka-calls-for-urgent-repairs-at-dilapidated-Linyati-ADC-253x190.jpeg 253w, https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Maseka-calls-for-urgent-repairs-at-dilapidated-Linyati-ADC-140x105.jpeg 140w, https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Maseka-calls-for-urgent-repairs-at-dilapidated-Linyati-ADC.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Deputy Minister also paid a courtesy call to the Regional Governor, Lawrence Sampofu, who provided a comprehensive overview of the situation in the region and highlighted the strong working relationship between the Ministry and his office, as well as several key concerns, including water challenges, that the Ministry could address moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSubsequently, Hon. Maseka met with the Ministry\u2019s staff and farmers. As this is a newly established ministry, she underscored the importance of unity and collaboration among the staff, urging them to work cohesively as one team to ensure the delivery of quality services to the public.
