Your Excellency

We heard you on several occasions threatening to deal with those who name drop senior officials including The Presidency for their own personal gain but to date no action has been taken. We the Murowa Community even raised our voice regarding one bogus chief who mentions your name and other senior government officials namely the Midlands provincial minister and minister of local government, July Moyo, to threaten and harass people. Recently the bogus chief set fellow teachers to attack and beat one parent at the school in full view of the pupils. Although this case was reported nothing was done to him because he is untouchable. All the district heads are afraid of him including the ward Councillor, police, DA and his superiors within the ministry of education.

This bogus chief acts as if Mazvihwa is his little Zimbabwe. Within the main political arena, he plays both the ruling party and opposition. While during the day he supports the ruling party at night he will be busy castigating the same for ruining the country and making teachers poor. That he hates the government of the day as clear as pure diamonds. He is the chief architect of boycotting class, mobilizing fellow teachers not to attend lessons. Within the ruling party itself he plays G40 and Lacoste factions against each other. Any member who challenges him is labelled G40 and is quickly reported to the mentioned senior officials. Sadly his actions have destroyed the ruling party’s support base in the area. As a community we don’t care about his political shenanigans but worried about the lack of developed in our area due to the absence of a substantive Chief.

Using this modus oparandi of name dropping the bogus chief has captured management of Murowa Diamonds thereby getting a contract for service delivery at the mine and also having his relatives employed by the same mine in large numbers at the expense of Murowa ward youths. How the mine awards tenders especially to the so called locals is a case for ZACC to investigate as these tenders are rich in corruption and done nicodemusly. The so called locals are nothing but a facade of company employees and senior politicians. The bogus chief shield the company from carrying out its corporate social responsibility in a ” do as I say” way. Yes this man calls the shots at the mine because as he claims he is connected to the Provincial Minister, Local government minister and even the Presidency.

His claim to the chieftainship is based on the fact that his uncle who passed on almost a decade ago was Chief Mazvihwa. Any efforts to have a new chief installed have been hampered by the very same minister of local government. For 10 solid years this bogus chief (he is not the acting chief) has been abusing the chieftainship for his personal gains. He is on record threatening those who dare challenge him with unspecified action. For 19 solid years the people of Mazvihwa have been denied the right to a substantive chief simply because the local government and provincial ministers are complicity in this issue. It is high time Your Excellence that you reign in your ministers and make sure they tow the line. All your efforts will come to nothing if your team plays bhora musango. The general povo demand action not mere rhetoric. Corrupt officials and name droppers must be arrested without fear or favour same with those who abuse their offices.

Zimbabwe is bleeding Your Excellency. We know you can rise above the occasion by creating a smoke and fire situation which everyone can see. This is the time for action. Take bold decisions and fire all corrupt, incompetent and non performers without fear or favour. Those who name drop especially The Presidency must get custodial sentences. We hear of smugglers of precious minerals are part to the name dropping gangster, so only action will clear your name Yr Excellence.

Enough is enough. Towards a prosperous Zimbabwe
