Zimbabwean man farming maize on 480 Acres of land in England and how he deals with racism | LNN
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2023
- Somewhere in Cambridge , England , A Zimbabwean man is proudly farming maize in 480 Acres of land and people travel from different places to have a taste of this beautiful crop.
But for Mr. Mwanaka, this is more about following his farming needs and trying to close a gap. But being black and owning such a massive space comes with it’s own challenges. For instance , he has had locals call police on him multiple times , confused him for a thief and doubted whether that was really his farm

Good morning too LYNN
This is very entertaining and full of wisdom. Thank you, Lynn and Mr Mwanaka
Most Zimbabwe people value family, unlike kenyan people.
Thanks
Wonderful work My brother from Africa you are a great motivation to us here in Africa. Wise reminder on African respect for land as a great resource we have been endowed.
He sells to us white corn here. He distributes over summer to the whole of the UK. Thanks to him I can cook githeri
Lynn hates githeri with a passion 😊😂
@nancygakahu8005,where can I get his contacts to order Sukuma wiki?
We give him his flowers 🌻
@panafricannation so true
@@belindaatieno9033he has an online shop
David once lived in the same neighbourhood as me in UK and was selling his produce from his house. Hard work pays, well done David 👏
If only more migrants were like him
What an inspiration to the whole of Africa. I am proud to be a Zimbabwean 🎉 May the good Lord continue to bless your works
😅😅😅
Im really humbled and greatful as a South African for this soothing breath of Fresh air especially from a prosperous Zimbabwean in a foreign European country😂😂😂😂❤
Surely is skill is needed more in his native Zimbabwean than here? Why he doesn't go back and use is skill to help his country?
@@marcellogenesi6390
Zimbabwe does not need more farmers. It has plenty of those. It lacks good governance
@@marcellogenesi6390no live him alone. He's doing the right thing for not wasting his time with stupid Zimbabwe. He is very intelligent, and he is teaching other runners. He saw an opportunity and grabbed it and made a big difference for English people too, that some immigrants are not just after cash. They are serious about work than just employments. I love and respect him for that. Hats down Britain and Zimbabwe jealous down, honor this man now 😊
This is a truly inspiring interview at so many levels. I am a 63 year old Malaysian advocate and I’ve always been drawn to working on the land. I have recently acquired some land and this interview has made me think of how I can start cultivating it. Time to hang up my robes? Maybe. Thank you Lynn and David. An honest interview with an honest, wide-minded, hardworking man. God bless. 🙏🙏
Everything David says tells me that his heart is still in Zimbabwe or even more broadly in Africa. I can see him returning to put his skills into good use there. I also see the disillusionment but I think there is also hope. Perhaps David’s hope for Africa will grow and take him back to make a significant contribution. It’s just my intuition talking.
PS - not to forget the tremendous courage and self-belief against mountainous odds.
❤❤❤❤
My country man. So so happy.
Full circle moment for me. I hv loved Lynn for a long time and having her sit down with a Zim man l am beyond proud and happy 😊😊😊
Inspirational. Southern African making us proud. Love from South Africa
We are glad that a brother from Zim had this idea. I love popping into his shop in Walsall to get maize and other African produce. Good job Mr Mwanaka. May God keep blessing the work of your hands
Mr Mwanaka is breaking the mould, and is an inspiration to many, who might be encouraged and challenged to take up farming.
I can watch this video more than a million times especially from Zimbabwean perspective... This guy deserves much respect by pursuing his passion aggressively and now enjoying himself extraordinarily.❣
Am seeing there is a period of success which has been knocking on your door for a very long period of time but you don't know how to open for it in your life. And there are dreams you have been getting at night which you forget when you wake up, some times you hear someone calling you but the voice disappears, and when your in a room alone you always have the feeling that your not alone. And some times you wake up from your sleep in the morning when your feeling tired from no where. And financially, you always gets money but it always passes through your hands without doing what's its supposed to do. And people has been turning onto your back even at the last moments. My spirits are showing me alot about you. There people blocking your luck and wants to destroy your life by sending you evil spirits🪵
The day that we will all understand that we are all from one race, THE HUMAN RACE. We will become a better society.
Congratulations Mr Mwanaka for taking that bold step ❤️
Most White people don't care about that. They still consider their race superior. A racist white person can be sick and can decline treatment from a black doctor. Some would rather die. That's how much their hearts are full of hate.
True
yes thats very true we are one
tell that to your mzungus, usituletee hapa.. did black people stole any land from the mzungus
This is the man who is feeding our homeland food cravings. Thank you for thinking of growing our tropical crops. I have always been curious to know how much you grow to feed us nationwide. God bless you
My sister has 100 acres in mine M.A. in America. She's a farmer and a nurse. They farm vegetables snd keep goats as well.
@panafricannation Yes will conduct Lynn for an interview. Lynn is yhe opera of Africa
This man is full of wisdom. Thank you for interviewing him. This one I had to loop!
Thank you Lynn for interviewing a Zimbabwean. Watching from Zimbabwe
He should come back and farm here In zimbabwe
@kunzetale Zimbabwe is a difficult political and economic environment
Wow this shows that we can succeed anywhere. Much love from zambia 🇿🇲 ❤️
What an inspirational story! I am from remote rural farming communities in Ethiopia, and it is incredible how Africans' lack of farm work ethics, in ability to see the "golden" soil/climate, dreaming about city life, inability to think outside the box to step up to mechanized farming and many more are so parallel in almost all Africa countries. What I think on one point you touched on why Africa has not changed is that all our countries are lead by homeborn, homegrown candidates with no extended foreign life exposures that could help them see beyond the villages mind set. If this man goes back to Zim, he would go back to the continent with the wisdoms that outweighs the leadership wisdoms of all past Zim leaders combined.
Absolutely on point!!!
Ank God for RUclips you don't have to go to forge in countries anymore to see (much cheaper/safer online)!
Your comments like others are not helping your fellow Africans. They're generalised and behind the times.
Farming is now very popular in Africa. I know people who have acres of farming. City life is no longer popular depending which country you come from.
Farming in europe or America is very difficult for black people. You also need money to buy the land, machinery, properties and seeds etc. I'm sure we are talking of a million or more to start with. Most African refuges cannot raise that or borrow it from the back.😢
@@elizabethramsden5783 I agree that it is a bit better now than the old days, but you cannot deny the fact that we still live on foreign aid to supplement our needs. With our golden resources, Africa could feed the entire planet if only used wisely. The saddest of all, we still wait for Ukraine and Russia food exports (countries ravaged by war and turned to ashes, but still do a lot to export to feed Africa). That is a shame for Africa leaders, and we cannot lie to pretend we help, but we must tell the truth to help Africa wake up.
You nailed it ❗
Haven't watched it but there is something about Zimbabweans and farming. Their hands are blessed 😂😂.
I lived with some in Abudhabi, yaani us we used to see sand they saw space to plant. My neighbours were from Zimbabwe, they used to plant Maize, Sukuma, Pumpkin, tomatoes...name it.
When I had a baby they used to supply me with fresh food from the farm. Very kind people....ahhh hawa watu na farming wako juu sana. I loved it ❤.
After watching this episode I agree that we fail because we don't cultivate the potential in us given by God. Riches and wealth are hidden inside us
Sure thing
Oh yes big time 🥰👍👍👍🙏
so true. i am a proud Jamaican doing pig and goat rearing
Lynn, you've done so many great interviews, but in my book, this is the best. I'm running late for work since I couldn't stop watching 😅😅. That's how much I loved it. I really appreciate our brother for the great tips he's given us
I rarely comment but the last two episodes of farming have had me thinking critically and realize my dream is valid. Coming soon too here in Mombasa
I am here enjoying his maize. Bought online . Delivery quickly and still fresh.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Does he sell in EU? What is his online webshop?
How can I get his delivery?
Wow.....Does He Deliver in EU?
What's the name of his website plz?
My fellow Zimbabweans have unique attitude when it comes to land and farming.
I appreciated this conversation so much for many reasons but especially for the fact that this is a man who can give us a very traceable journey of his success, my frustration with most African stories of success is the pathways are not always straightforward and so they become very hard to follow as inspiration.
..Well done to the Mwanaka family, as Africans first and then as Zimbabweans, because your story is universal🇿🇼🇬🇧.
Highly impressed with this interview, a big eye opener for both Africans in diaspora and at home. God will bless the work you are doing. Cheers.
I am so happy to see African succeeding and thriving in pursuing their dreams. I thank God for His blessings and favor.
So inspired... I don't know where i would be without all these inspiration videos from you Lynn......am martha this is my sister's phone mine haina bundles, so whenever sina bundles i take hers and i listen to these beautiful stories.... LYNN God bless you abundantly you don't understand how many souls you save from your channel... God give you many years here on earth.. Love Love our Oprah
What a beautiful story of a down to earth man from humble beginning. This is so inspirational. Lynn, you are the best. Continue feeding us with these inspirational stories of Africans making an impact in the world order. With love from South Africa.
Proudly Zimbabwean. Thank you dear brother for lifting our flag high.❤ Watching from Mozambique
Fantastic interview. I'm glad I know this man and his family. What an inspiration!
I am Zimbabwean too! I love your work- It's relaxing to listen to your words of wisdom!
Very inspiring story,wisdom from our own.kudos Mr. Mwanaka, thank you Lynn for the great work.
My country man thank you, so inspiring, got great lessons here kudos Mr Mwanaka
This is very inspiring, real huge firm in UK 🇬🇧 👍🏻👍🏻
You’re such an inspirational visionary, Sir David Mwanaka…we are enjoying the produce of your hard sweat…kudos to you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽!
There’s no irony at all the difference was and is “ they stole, kill and plundered from the Africans “ what you did was bought the land “ a legal purchase “ a HUGE difference in how lands / property was acquired. 😔 Continued Blessings in your Business 🙏❤️
I watched this podcast from South Africa. What an inspiration. Once you put your mind to it, you can achieve it. Thank You so much
Very inspiring story. Thanks Lynn for bringing out such documentaries.
Such an inspiring and insightful interview. What a courageous man?!
For 5 years I could try to grow white maize in UK but they could never reach maturity because the seeds were from Zimbabwe and by the time the corn start to develop, winter sets in. At one time I called mwanaka and asked where does he buy his seeds but they couldn't help me. I didn't give up. The following year I searched and found a company in Kent that sells variety of seeds including maize. Since then I grow my own maize and sell some of it. First year I gave my seeds to every African at the allotment and since then people are growing something that can mature at least. I'm looking for a farm for next year so I can grow at a larger scale
That's sad. The market is too big. I value people who wants to empower other especially fellow Africans
@@dashaus.but still he could have help the person on his way, especially with the lack of African farmers in the EU (you can help each other, how do you think the yte farmers get there information, because they help each other!)
@@seleinashurake1498you are very true, the market is to big to not help other Africans. This is the reason why some lack, ytes help each other with funds and information/knowledge (I find it disappointed that this Zimbabwean farmer didn't want to help the African with information about seeds.)
Where did you get your white maize seeds from. Also trying to grow my own maize
@@seleinashurake1498Why are you not developing your own country in Africa where you can grow the crops best suited to that environment? Just asking.
I am just enjoying his Mahindi with Nescafe! I drove 70 miles yesterday to Leeds to buy it. It is sweet. Thank you Mwanaka and Lynn
Where in Leeds plse drop details so we can also buy his products ❤
@@sharonsharon9540am also waiting to know. But I know they sell in Harehills. Mwanaka brought some to Leeds last month, door to door, for those who had booked for his summer distribution
I am proudly to be a Zimbabwean, thank you brother or family because you're representing us, well done brother ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I am disappointed at you for congratulating this man I think he is stupid taking his God given talent to a foreign land whilst his own people are suffering of hunger.
Zimbabwe used to be the basket food of the whole world. Because of colonizers it stopped.
Why tis man cannot come back home and teach his own how to grow their own or teach other countries in Africa.
Instead he decided to exile himself and be a voluntary slave.
Who has bewitched you Zimbabweans. You are so foolish and stupid running all over the world chasing after white people. You followed your Masters in South Africa and become their cheap laborers spoiling them and messing up with black South Africans who are teaching colonizers how to behave..
WOW! Unto you ye Puppets your country and your people are while you are selling yourself and God given gifts to foreigners. You will not gave peace till the Lord comes back in 7 years.
Remember that you have chased away white farmers from your country and in event they take revenge on this guy ,how are you going to feel ?It is not good to make limitations to people and let them live everywhere they want .
Representing? Are you both part of a farmers guild? Please explain. Thank you.
When you do the evil to someone or to a group of people ,do you think that those are the victims who suffer only even the other people are affected .you don't need to be a representative of victims to express your feelings ,we are the human being and the face of my likeness makes me responsible. The victims of wrong action are the human beings like me and when I see them suffering ,I suffer also and I must to express my feelings even though I don't represent them.The evil remains evil everywhere and I am not a stone ,I am a human being and even if I am not the victim of wrong action , I become affected indirectly. Don't think that I am calling the white men to take a revenge on this Zimbabwean man ,only I want to show to the world how the British people have transcended the injustice the british farmers have suffered in zambabwe because I see this black man farms your land like his homeland. It is something which has more interesting to see because the world belongs to everyone and the limitations are not necessary . It would be good every human being live everywhere he wants.Thank you
Representing whole Africa 🥰🙏🙏🙏
Very good interview Lynn. You have what it takes Lady.Congratulations to you and your Team.

Congratulations my African brother. Continue to follow your dreams
This is awesome and massive great work thete its not easy but he made it🎉🎉🎉 Thanjs Lynn you are extraordinary 🎉🎉❤❤
Well done, well done. May God bless your efforts and may become more successful in your farms. I hope it's sustainable agricultural methods that you are using there.
Mr Mwanaka is so inspirational, great interview
This is wonderful! @LNN you are providing both information and an education. It would be great if your researcher could include some links to help us learn about the African countries as you feature them. As Farmer Mwanka says, the land issue in Zim is complex. Kenyans whose ancestors lived in our version of Bantustans will get it. (See Lancaster agreement) Same thing happened in Zim and SA. Well done!
It's great to see well done to him! From a British white man!
Why are you stating that you're a British white man?
Wooow, Amazing! This is an eye-opening story 🎉
Linn good work your really thriving. Congratulations to him nice move really
Zimbabweans are resilient and fearless.
Yes especially when they are living in the country that colonised them because they destroyed the colony
I am fascinated and interested in David’s farm and I wander if I could visit for a Wwoofing holiday (willing workers on organic farms . I grow the 3 sisters on my small allotment in London. When I started my tiny allotment plot my last neighbour planted maize. I was curious but the next plot holder was not familiar as she thought it was different from the ‘pop corn’ they are used to here. Only just last night I was listening to BBC radio 4 and learning about farmers being encouraged to also grow chick peas UK to diversify crops as it fixes nitrates in the soil and help weed control etc etc. 👏
Quite inspiring. Thanks for bringing us these stories Lynn. As a fellow Zimbabwean I know the challenge with fresh mealie cobs when you let them stay overnight; they lose their taste you can't do anything about it. But has he tried some form of packaging as a solution? I say this because I'm currently in Australia and we've bought some fresh mealies from a Zimbo farmer near Canberra who ships his fresh maize all over Australia. His method of packaging preserves the taste we all Zimbos want from fresh maize cobs. Not sure if it's vacuum sealing or what because I'm not an expert in this. But maybe Mr. Mwanaka could link up with this Zimbabwean-Aussie farmer to share notes.
what inspiration story may God bless you 🙏 ❤️
I am a Zimbabwean living in Belgium, when I tell the, Belgians people about zim ppl, they don't understand me, and seeing you dear brother, you make me proud, and walk on top of the world. Because we used our brains and what were taught.
Good Morning TEAM LNN😍Watching from🇰🇪🇶🇦❤
