A Returning Research Chair Bets on Zimbabwe's Diaspora and Its Land
Solusi University is putting more than 100 hectares of its land in rural Matabeleland, Zimbabwe, into agricultural production. Its vice-chancellor, Khumbulani Mpofu, says he also wants a 600 megawatt solar power station there. The university already runs a hatchery producing 140,000 chicks a cycle and a clinic treating 1,000 patients a month, evidence, he argues, that a rural campus can deliver at commercial scale.
