8. Ilima /Letsema

• Ilima / Letsema means working together to
  liberate ourselves from the oppression of
  poverty, working together to produce food, to
  build a house and thus provide shelter for the
  family. Working together to gather firewood for
  energy, working together to discipline and guide
  our children as they grow. Working together to
  defend our freedom and to build this nation.
• The ethos of Ilima / Letsema emanate from the
  fact that a great deal of land that has been
  handed over to communities and individuals, land
  in tribal hands and land that has been under
  cultivation for decades, is now lying fallow or
  under-utilised. This campaign, with momentum from
  Operation Gijima (Operation Accelerated
  Production), serves to encourage our people to
  use these lands productively.
