Meet Vitalis Gonese

Vitalis Gonese
It was great catching up with Vitalis on Tuesday. Want to know more about him? Here goes.....

Vitalis works for a Non Governmental Organisation (NGO) called Techno Serve and he is based in Harare. He was down in Matabeleland to provide technical advice to the poultry farmers in Mablauwuni area. Vitalis has been with Techno Serve for a year now and he enjoys it very much. He monitors projects in Mashonaland East, Mashonaland West and Matabeleland South provinces.

Vitalis said the farmers in Matabeleland South province are doing very well. Some farmers are actually exceeding expectation. The challenges that he identified in the area are:
1. Water sources. Most farmers have to walk about 1km to collect water for their chickens and with a chicken project, one needs lots of water.
2. Some of the farmers are tempted to do side markets with inputs and feed.
3. He was doing some training with the chicken farmers at Crossroads yesterday.

He will be down in Matabeleland once a month to give technical advice.

On a more relaxed note......
Vitalis is married with 2 children. His wife's name is Winnie and his children are Innocent and Estina. His favourite meal is beef with either sadza or rice. He watches television as a form of relaxation or he actually goes to the soccer stadium to watch some matches. The local soccer team that Vitalis supports is Caps United while his favourite English team is transitioning from Liverpool to Manchester City.
