[00:07:23]Uh we are now in Karoi zone.

[00:07:27]Uh those who are familiar with this road, Harare-Chirundu Highway, uh they know the type of bus that goes to Puma.

[00:07:33]Then now this is uh the road that is going to Flamboyant Park.

[00:07:38]And here we are just about to approach the town. Here there's a Champions Lodge for those people who want accommodation when they are coming to Karoi. You can turn from on this left road that we passed through. Champions Lodge, yeah, it's one of the best lodges in Karoi. You can connect so that you enjoy your stay in Karoi comfortably.

[00:08:02]Then let's go. I want to show you our town as we are passing through it. This is a farming town, Karoi. When when there is no good rains, when there is no good market for the products for the for the it means Karoi will be down.

[00:08:24]Like what is happening in 2026, I think from 2020 4 to 2025 there was a a big drought.

[00:08:34]Um in fact uh it was not just good for for for for local farmers, but for maize and then then tobacco. Then 2026 uh we received the good rains. But unfortunately the market is is not doing well with farmers, so they are they're struggling. So the market for other products in Karoi is not that exactly with the what happens in every year.

[00:08:58]But we know that we are so resilient. We find ways to survive.

[00:09:04]This is Karoi town.
