Award winning singer, Diana Samkange used to perform frequently at home and across Africa, however, all that has changed.
You can no longer see her on stage or in the spotlight after the ban on live performances in Zimbabwe.
She can be found at her farm in Mazowe district, an hour’s drive west of Harare.
The Coronavirus lockdown stopped large gatherings and events like concerts, forcing Diana and many other artists to look at other ways to make a living.
During the lockdown. I learned one thing that I didn’t know over the years: you will never go wrong with agriculture. People will always eat. People will always want farm produce. That business, for me, is quite stable. It will bring income, I now know that money comes from the soil.
Diana told voa news that there is stability in agriculture at the moment more than music side.
Music is going to be my first love, but I need to survive.
The 32 year old Afro pop singer co-owns the farm with her husband, Calvin Nyazema. They are putting in irrigation pipes and have set up beehives to collect eucalyptus honey from their 300,000 tree plantation.
