This is a maize field in the backyard of a Chinhoyi home. It is part of the native Zimbabwean culture for every family to have their own piece of land in with they will get their food from. Maize once harvested can be dried on the roof of a house, and then ground ground into a powder (upfu). This is cooked into Sadza, brewed into beer (doro) or brewed into an energy drink (maheu). The malt on the maize plant (mapfunde) is used as a catalyst when brewing both the doro and maheu.
