(Harare)State media reports of Minister Sam Sipepa Nkomo stating that mythical mermaid animals are blocking construction work at dams in Gokwe and Mutare, are not true, the cabinet minister has said.
Minister Nkomo told ZimEye Tuesday morning that the Herald report was biased because he did not in any way state or suggest that he believes in the said mermaids.
“I saw the story in the Herald and I did not actually say the words that they said about me. All I reported was what I am getting from my staff… I think that what they need to appreciate is that the dam is complete; The
pumps are already there. All we want to do is to switch on. And my staff are telling me that they cannot switch on; when they switch on, water doesen’t go through the pipes because ‘the mermaids are blocking the pipes’.”
Sipepa-Nkomo said that he is not even involved in the consultations with the chiefs.
“…they have told me that they are in the process of speaking to the chiefs there that some rituals be done. I am not involved in that,” he said.
He added that he himself even voluntered to go to the dam and switch the pump on his own but the workers refused:
“I do not believe in it, at one time I said that they must take me there and I would do it myself … I don’t believe in that personally.They said you can go alone, we are not going to accompany you.
“… I do not believe in that personally that’s why I said I can go there and do it myself…,” he said.
Sipepa-Nkomo has said a similar situation occurred at Osborne Dam in Manicaland where Government ended up hiring white personnel to do the job but they also refused to undertake the project.
“We even hired whites thinking that our boys did not want to work but they also returned saying they would not return to work there again,” he said.

Xolani ask vivagukurawundi and those he represent why is Harare drinking that load of *hit if there is a lot of water there? Is it because they love eating kaka? Then tell him we refused to drink the urine that Midzi wanted us to drink.
Now I begin to comprehend why our forefathers christianed them Swina or Tswina.
Thank you Rev Edson Gwende for that exegesis. I’ve distilled great theological lessons from your post. Continue sharing such biblical dimensions in our discussions so that we may strengthened in Christ.
Thanks Mavhi and OJ. Your posts sound more convincing. If it’s not about a stolen transformer, then the technicians should learn from you guys.
I am dealing with pumps and other types of plant, you always prime pumps particularly the volute centrifugal pumps. Where are the technicians? A Zanu CEO will never understand that. Your learnedness you so boast abt sucks,here is the breakdown…… typhoid from sanctions, rock diesel,war in matebeleland, now this. Your visionaries are visionless, they are seeing things.
minister iyeye anopenga they is only wind in the pipes.and njuzi varoyi wechichena
Genesis 1:26-27
There is no such a thing. No such creature exists. These are Human beings playing witchcraft and then claiming to be coming as “Mermaid” creaatures. The purpose of all this is to create uncertainty and fear, Once there is fear, then a religion can through that fear be formed and SOMEONE somewhere receives the worship of mankind, if it is not God, it is certainly the devil himself! He loves attention especially the attention that can be obtained from huamn beings who are in reality God creatures) Once the devil obtains that attention he feels good, because God almighty has forever turned his face against him, so if he can get attention from human beings, then he has accomplished his mission of getting not only the attention a God creature(hamn being), but also the fear and subsequent worship from them. He obtains all this by creating uncertainty in the hearts of mankind.
mermaid theory just like Ghost mythology mythology was created to steal the attention of mankind and through that attention and fear, demons can perchance obtain life and short live to be on planet earth.
If you want to live a life of strength, read the Bible and oray for God to open your eyes., Throguht Bible you will realise that the most facinating creature on eart is none but you!

Personaly I don’t believe in mermaids but thoz tht r accustomed 2these issues say they’re real.since its common knowledge tht no one in government is a christian why not slay a few beasts n let thoz who knw e rituals do their thing,if u feel itz too costly just consult Mr Obert Mpofu I’m sure he won’t feel a pinch by donating a few cows,after all he is the “Play Maker”…
why dnt ey wnt 2 go wth u cde minister?itai vanhu vapihwe mvura
Njuzu mweya yevarungu vatakauraya. Kuno kuAMERICA hakuna zvakadero.
These people never learn. Last time they were told to sacrifice baffaloes so that they can drain diesel from a rock, now some thief is telling them about marmaids and still they believe it.
The blind are leading us nowhere, cry the beloved Zimbabwe.
@ xolani thats coz there is no water in matebeleland those things do not crib in urine and besides you guys worship some njelele spirit you skimmed was a falcon which would screatch warning the comrades of zipra of impending dangers looks like it went on vacation during gukurahundi and cameback the day parance shiri had finished business useless creature you have
Of course it’s the mermaids blocking the pipes. Where will they live if the dam is drained by these pumps?
Stupid CHANDO KUPISA. there were similar reposts in Mazoe and Chivero dams between 1994 and 1995. I went to Mazoe myself when Mr Badza had lost his dog and i went and rescued it myself with my own bare hands on my own. I had no bodyguard etc, what are u on about?
It shows that u will make Mugabe ur God
n worship him when he is dead
P/S third line should read ” scattered”
Urikundiudza kuti hauzive chinonzi njuzi here? If you were born and bred in Old Highfied where there are no rivers you would not understand it.At the confluence Sabi and Mwerari rivers we used to see white cloths scared along the river bank every morning and from about 9pm to around 3am we could hear drum beat sounds (ngoma)and during that time people were advised not to be anywhere near the river.Two stubborn guys who thought it was a joke(Makwembere type)tried to go and verify disappeared when they got near the river and up to now nobody knows what happened to them and thats more than ten years ago.Then there was a case of Dr.Masaya’s two daughters who mysteriously disappeared in the Eastern highlands what do you call all this?Musangowawata vana Makwembere.
I don’t talk!
Musada kubata vanhu kumeso, ndiani asingazivi kuti hapana kana transformer? Buy time Mr Morwo (the site manager), until u replace e stolen money.
How come mermaids are appearing in mashonaland only and not in matebeleland or the city of Kings? Amashona mythology, sellouts!
Thus why they still worship dead witches like Nehanda,tell them mr nkomo
Which dam is this Mr Editor.
minister when yu switch on pumps for the first time there is always the problem of air already in the pipes your workers should know how to remove airlock in pipes period |||||||||||||||
