Prime Minister Dr. Elijah Ngurare has asked the Nkurenkuru Town Council to explore ways to allocate land to Reverend Helena Kudumo.

This comes after the Prime Minister learnt that Kudumo runs a business producing traditional food but does not have a proper place to operate from. The Prime Minister has given the Council until Tuesday to provide feedback to the Office of the Prime Minister.

Helena Kudumo, who is a pastor by profession, shared with the Prime Minister that she owns a company by the name of Kadokile Investment that produces traditional food, including traditional bread. She expressed excitement about having the opportunity to sit at the same table with the Prime Minister and serve him a taste of her locally made food.

"This company has been feeding my family daily. And as a small entrepreneur, I appreciate this. And today is a blessed day that we were able to host our Prime Minister, Tate Ngurare, and we decided to enjoy together a dessert."

Kudumo also highlighted some of the challenges she faces in her business operations, including being criticised for juggling multiple roles as a pastor, a family woman, a UNAM student, a teacher, and a business owner. Despite this, she remains determined and dreams of owning a plot in town to open a traditional food restaurant.

"And there are also some challenges, especially financial. There are financial challenges in our town right now; I do not have a place. I do not have a place of mine to host the business. My dream is to one day get my own plot in town, a business area, and I can open up a traditional food restaurant."

After learning about Kudumo's challenges, Prime Minister Ngurare said that once an individual is recognised for providing an important product like food, that person deserves support. He emphasised that Kudumo needs urgent government assistance. The Prime Minister also noted that her mungomes (traditional bread) should reach bigger markets.
