“On behalf of the President, a representative delegation of Belarusian women handed over potatoes from the personal farmstead of the Belarusian leader to the First Lady of Zimbabwe. These are the two most popular varieties – Pershatsvet and Manifest – which were appreciated by Auxillia Mnangagwa during her visit to Belarus,” the resource reports.

In the video, Auxillia Mnangagwa says that there are no such varieties in Zimbabwe and at least some of the potatoes will go to the kitchen for cooking.

“When I dish up this to the President [Emmerson Mnangagwa], I will say that this is from Belarus’ President Aleksandr Lukashenko,” the First Lady of Zimbabwe noted.

Moreover, Auxillia Mnangagwa also issued a potato growing challenge to Aleksandr Lukashenko.

“Tell him it’s going to be a competition where potatoes grow up better,” she said, accepting the gift.

As stated in the Telegram channel publication, the First Lady of Zimbabwe is confident of her victory.
