Three communities in Zimba district in Southern Province are benefiting from three newly constructed livestock dip facilities, as part of Silverlands Ranching Limited’s livestock improvement programme. According to a statement issued by Silverlands Ranching Limited, the programme started in 2014 and now covers over 50,000 community cattle dippings per month. The new dip stations are located in Siameja, Shangu and Chidi areas of Zimba district. “After attracting investment in 2014 from SilverStreet Capital, an impact investor with experience building successful out-grower programmes in Sub-Saharan Africa, Silverlands Ranching began the Silverlands Livestock Improvement Community programme, known locally as “SLIC”, to assist small-scale cattle farmers in the area,” the statement read.
