The main objective of the workshop was to ensure that traditional leaders, with the assistance of Government agencies such as the Department of Natural Resources, Forestry Commission, and the local authorities played a major role in combating environmental degradation by enforcing environmental laws.
"Shurugwi should act as one of the pilot project areas in promoting the role of traditional leaders in environmental management and enforcing environmental legislation," said the minister.
An environmental lawyer with Zela, Mr Shamiso Mtisi, said the activities were in line with the requirements of the Environmental Management Act that environmental education and awareness must be promoted to increase the capacity of communities to "address environmental issues and adopt values and skills that promote sustainable environmental management".

Shurugwi - With mud spattered over a dress that looks like a selection from the cheap Chinese imports so readily available in Zimbabwe today, Griffin Chawatama (32) bends over a home-made metal bowl, sifting through the crushed rock for gold flakes.
Chawatama is one of hundreds of illegal gold panners engaged in a cat-and-mouse battle with the police since descending in Shurugwi last May after their homes and informal business kiosks were razed by bulldozers in the government's controversial urban clean-up campaign.
But 40-year-old Joseph Muyambo, who migrated from his home in Chipinge several hundred kilometres to the east to come and dig for gold in Shurugwi, says that besides the economic hardships, the irresistible lure of gold is also to blame for the growing number of panners here and elsewhere in the country.

Shurugwi - President Robert Mugabe usually appears stiff and combative in public, his ramrod posture ever more pronounced in the face of a deepening political and economic crisis.
The bunting, political posters and party songs all carried one message: Mugabe is counting on his rural power base to head off a rising opposition challenge from the urban areas.
Along the road to Shurugwi, through Zimbabwe's gold- and chrome-mining belt, villagers battling with a crisis that has seen inflation soar to 300% - one of the highest in the world - are resorting to gold panning and selling the results through both legal and illegal routes.

The transformation of rural societies and their strategies of resource use in the colonial period was the outcome of contestation, negotiation and alliance on a number of different levels.
Focusing first on official discourse and the conflict which accompanied the passage of early conservation legislation, this article then looks at the different interpretations of the effects of implementation in Shurugwi communal area.
Shurugwi was particularly significant because it was the testing ground for early state interventions and was upheld as a model of successful state 'development' Ð a representation which allowed for the (forcible) reproduction of the same policies in different ecological contexts around the country.

 Phosphorus application to Maize-Cowpea sequences in smallholder farming systems of Zimbabwe
The experiments were conducted on-farm on sandy soils in two smallholder farming areas of Zimbabwe, Shurugwi and Zimuto, where the average annual rainfall ranges from 450 to 600 mm.
In the second season, yields of cowpea and maize from the 0P control plots were significantly lower than from the plots that previously received the higher rates of P fertilizer (Tables 4 and 5).
In maize-cowpea sequences in the Shurugwi and Zimu regions, adding a small amount of P is important, and it is better applied to cowpea than to maize.
