In a recent ruling, a Chiredzi resident was handed a 30-year prison term for the rape of a 23-year-old mentally challenged woman.

Magistrate Judith Zuyu presiding over the case found Sinfree Makhado, hailing from Munjanja Village, Chief Bota in Zaka, guilty on two counts of raping the mentally challenged victim.

He was sentenced to 15 years for each count, resulting in an effective 15-year imprisonment.

During the trial, Makhado attempted to defend himself by claiming that the woman was his girlfriend and had given consent for the sexual encounters.

However, the court emphasized that under the law, individuals with mental challenges are unable to provide legal consent for sexual activities.

The prosecution presented evidence indicating that Makhado engaged in sexual intercourse with the woman in the fields on one occasion and in a derelict building on another.

The case came to light when the victim’s younger sister discovered Makhado in the act of raping the mentally challenged woman inside the abandoned structure.

This verdict underscores the seriousness with which the legal system addresses cases of sexual assault, particularly those involving vulnerable individuals such as the mentally challenged.

Makhado’s sentence serves as a deterrent and a reminder that sexual exploitation will be met with severe consequences under the law.

In a harrowing incident that has sent shockwaves through Masvingo, on Monday afternoon, a young woman, whose identity remains unknown, gave birth in the heart of the city with no medical assistance in sight.

The distressing scene unfolded along a footpath leading to Masvingo Provincial Hospital, as bystanders looked on in horror while the woman endured the pains of labor.

Eyewitnesses recounted the chaotic events as the woman struggled through the birthing process without any professional help.

“Nobody attended to the young lady. She literally gave birth by herself.

No ambulance was in sight to take her to Masvingo Provincial Hospital. It was a horrible sight,” expressed John Mutasa, a resident of Masvingo.

As the woman cried out for aid, nurses reportedly passed by without intervening, exacerbating the sense of helplessness and abandonment felt by both the mother and the concerned onlookers.

The incident has not only highlighted the lack of emergency medical services but has also underscored the deteriorating state of healthcare in Zimbabwe.

Adding fuel to the public outcry, citizens have directed their anger towards perceived discrepancies in resource allocation.

Many have pointed fingers at figures like Wicknell Chivayo, a known supporter of the ruling party ZANU-PF, who flaunt their wealth while essential services like healthcare continue to falter.

The stark contrast between extravagant displays of wealth and the stark realities faced by ordinary citizens has only deepened the sense of frustration and disillusionment.

The appalling incident serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for government intervention to address the crumbling healthcare infrastructure in Zimbabwe.

With no comment forthcoming from the Ministry of Health and Child Care, concerns persist regarding the government’s commitment to ensuring the well-being of its citizens.

The lack of a timely response from authorities only amplifies the sense of neglect felt by Zimbabweans who are grappling with the daily challenges of accessing adequate healthcare.

As this incident reverberates across the country, it serves as a rallying cry for greater accountability and urgent action to address the systemic issues plaguing the healthcare sector.

In the face of such tragedies, it is imperative that the government prioritizes the allocation of resources towards improving healthcare services and ensuring that no citizen is left to suffer in such dire circumstances.

The dignity and well-being of every Zimbabwean depend on it.

In a concerning revelation, the Upper Manyame Sub-Catchment Council (UMSCC) has reported that many boreholes in Harare are contaminated with Escherichia coli (E.coli), a bacteria commonly found in sewage. This contamination spans across 13 residential areas, including Mt Pleasant, Avondale, Glen View, and others, raising fears of potential cholera outbreaks.

The presence of E.coli signals possible sewage contamination in the water supply, posing significant health risks, including the potential spread of cholera. UMSCC urgently advises residents in affected areas against using untreated borehole water for drinking, cooking, or washing, emphasizing the need for water treatment and precautionary measures.

Residents are urged to treat borehole water with aqua tabs, boil it for at least one minute before consumption, and have it tested by accredited laboratories to ensure safety. While UMSCC addresses the situation, immediate action is crucial for individual residents to safeguard against waterborne diseases.

The government has also stepped in, implementing measures to strengthen water, hygiene, and sanitation infrastructure as part of its efforts to combat the current cholera outbreak. Since its onset in Chegutu town in Mashonaland West Province in February 2023, the outbreak has spread rapidly, with suspected and confirmed cases reported across 61 districts in all 10 provinces.

As of Monday, the cumulative toll stands at 26,189 suspected cholera cases, with 71 laboratory-confirmed deaths and 485 suspected cholera deaths. The outbreak has extended beyond the traditional cholera hotspots, affecting additional districts, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive public health interventions to contain the spread.

In a surprising turn of events, Sengezo Tshabangu, the self-appointed interim Secretary General of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), has announced his intentions to sue former President Nelson Chamisa.

Tshabangu alleges that Chamisa mismanaged donated funds during his tenure as CCC President, sparking a contentious legal battle within Zimbabwe’s opposition politics.

According to Tshabangu, the decision to take legal action against Chamisa stems from what he perceives as a breach of trust and financial mismanagement within the CCC.

In a statement released on [insert date], Tshabangu asserted, “We’ve filed our paperwork to the courts to sue Nelson Chamisa for single-handedly squandering donated funds during his CCC Presidency after we gathered enough transactional evidence of all funds he received but failed to declare to the party before his premature resignation.”

The lawsuit has ignited a firestorm of controversy, with political analysts speculating about Tshabangu’s motives and his alleged ties to the ruling party, ZANU-PF.

Many analysts have labeled Tshabangu as a ZANU-PF proxy, suggesting that his actions are part of a larger strategy to destabilize and weaken the opposition in Zimbabwe.

Critics argue that Tshabangu’s sudden emergence as a vocal critic of Chamisa and the CCC raises questions about his true allegiances and agenda.

They point to his abrupt rise to prominence within the opposition ranks and his apparent willingness to take on a leadership role without democratic mandate or consensus.

On the other hand, supporters of Tshabangu argue that his decision to pursue legal action against Chamisa demonstrates a commitment to transparency and accountability within the opposition movement.

They contend that holding leaders accountable for their actions, regardless of their political affiliation, is essential for building a stronger and more credible opposition in Zimbabwe.

Meanwhile, Chamisa and his supporters have vehemently denied Tshabangu’s allegations, dismissing them as baseless and politically motivated.

Chamisa, who recently resigned as CCC President, has vowed to fight the lawsuit and clear his name in court.

The outcome of Tshabangu’s lawsuit against Chamisa remains uncertain, but its implications for Zimbabwe’s political landscape are significant.

The ongoing feud between Tshabangu and Chamisa underscores the deep divisions and power struggles within the country’s opposition movement, leaving many Zimbabweans disillusioned and uncertain about the future of their democracy.

As the legal battle unfolds, one thing is clear: Tshabangu’s lawsuit against Chamisa has thrust him into the spotlight and raised critical questions about the integrity and unity of Zimbabwe’s opposition forces.

Only time will tell how this latest chapter in Zimbabwe’s tumultuous political saga will ultimately unfold.

By A Correspondent| MDC-T leader Douglas Mwonzora has been accused of neglecting his nine-year-old son with ex-lover Getrude Chuma.

The revelation came to light during a court hearing before Harare magistrate Meenal Narotam.

Chuma, the ex-lover, asserted that Mwonzora, a prominent political figure, should be held accountable for the well-being of their child.

She demanded a monthly payment of US$1,500 to cover the child’s upkeep.

Chuma argued that Mwonzora, with his position as a political party president, ownership of a farm in Nyanga, and directorship at a law firm, could easily afford the stipulated amount.

Adding to the accusations, Chuma disclosed that Mwonzora insisted on enrolling the minor in a private school, despite his failure to fulfill the financial obligations related to school fees.

It was further revealed in court that Mwonzora had allegedly blocked Chuma’s attempts to communicate with him.

In Mwonzora’s absence, Magistrate Narotam granted Chuma’s application, issuing a court order mandating the politician to pay a monthly maintenance fee of US$500.

Additionally, Mwonzora was directed to settle his son’s school fees in full.

The court’s decision underscores the gravity of the allegations against the political leader, placing him under legal obligations to provide for his neglected child.

By A Correspondent| In a shocking incident, a male adult was discovered dead under mysterious circumstances near the Save River, with reports suggesting a sexual encounter may have led to his untimely demise.

The Zimbabwe Republic Police are currently investigating the incident, with preliminary findings pointing to an unusual sequence of events.

According to a police memo released on the 25th of February 2024, the informant stumbled upon the lifeless body at around 1500 hours while en route to his garden. Upon returning to the same location at 1800 hours, the body remained on the ground, showing no signs of life. The Birchenough Bridge police post was alerted around 1830 hours, and authorities were quick to attend the scene.

The deceased, a male adult, was found lying face down with his grey shorts halfway lifted. His attire included a black vest, grey shorts with the label “Lakers 23,” a yellow floral shirt, a blue pant, and white shoes. A black wallet containing US$1, ZWL$1,100, a brown bazooka radio, and a blue towel were discovered at the scene. Additionally, the deceased had a black power bank and an H mobile cellphone in his right pocket.

Initial investigations revealed that the deceased, whose identity has not been disclosed, had encountered Gracious Priscah Maruta, a 17-year-old resident of Kona clinic village Chief Musikavanhu, Chipinge. Maruta was searching for her boyfriend, Webster Nkomonde, at Birchenough Bridge and sought assistance from the now deceased, a tout at Musharu, Birchenough Bridge Business Centre.

According to Maruta’s account, she shared her transportation challenges with the deceased, who then offered to pay her bus fare in exchange for sexual favors. The deceased reportedly paid three dollars to Peter Tafirenyika, the probox driver, for the agreed-upon transaction. The duo boarded the probox and engaged in sexual intercourse near Birchenough Bridge Hotel, during which the deceased collapsed and became unconscious.

Maruta, in a state of panic, attempted to revive the now deceased but received no response. Fearing the consequences, she left the unconscious man and returned to Musharu Bus Terminus, where she later met her boyfriend.

Upon further investigation, no foreign objects were found at the scene, and Maruta, the last person to see the deceased alive, was brought in for an interview. She led the police to the location where the sexual encounter occurred, confirming the events that transpired before the man’s collapse.

The deceased’s body is currently at Birchenough Bridge Hospital Mortuary as authorities continue their inquiries into the circumstances surrounding this perplexing incident. The community awaits further updates as the police work to unravel the mystery behind this untimely death.

Despite facing challenges such as EU restrictions, Uralchem demonstrates unwavering dedication to supporting global food security initiatives through humanitarian efforts.

This timely delivery underscores Russia’s commitment to aiding Zimbabwe’s agricultural sector and alleviating food insecurity within the nation.

As political tensions escalate in Zimbabwe, members of the ruling party Zanu PF’s faction known as Varakashi intensify their calls for an extension of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s term of office, raising concerns over potential constitutional violations.

Mnangagwa, who came to power in 2017 following the ousting of long-time ruler Robert Mugabe, faces mounting pressure from within his party to remain in office beyond his current term.

The Varakashi faction, known for its staunch support of the president, has taken to social media platforms such as Facebook to advocate for this extension.

In a recent Facebook post, Varakashi wrote, “Are you ready to see him (Emmerson Mnangagwa) taking another oath of office, and Zimbabwe rising to be the breadbasket of Africa once again by 2030.”

This statement reflects the faction’s aspirations for Mnangagwa to continue leading the country, with hopes of achieving economic prosperity and restoring Zimbabwe’s status as a regional agricultural powerhouse.

However, these calls for term extension have sparked controversy and raised legal concerns, as they potentially violate Zimbabwe’s constitution, which stipulates presidential term limits and the need for free and fair elections.

Critics argue that any attempt by Mnangagwa to extend his stay in power beyond constitutional bounds would undermine democratic principles and further erode confidence in Zimbabwe’s political system.

The intensification of these calls by the Varakashi faction underscores the deep-seated divisions within Zanu PF and highlights the growing uncertainty surrounding Zimbabwe’s political future.

As the debate over Mnangagwa’s tenure continues to unfold, the nation remains at a crossroads, grappling with the delicate balance between stability, democracy, and the rule of law.

Reports from Shurugwi indicate that Cynthia Gold Mine is engaging in discriminatory practices by refusing to employ individuals associated with the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) party.

According to sources cited by The Mirror, the mine is conducting vetting procedures among its workforce and terminating the employment of anyone found to have affiliations with the CCC.

Peter Mashaya, a board member of the mine, reportedly made this stance clear when speaking to The Mirror.

Mashaya openly stated that employees are facing consequences for their support of CCC councillors from Makusha Suburb during elections.

With approximately 300 workers employed at the mine, Mashaya’s statement carries significant weight.”I will say this openly, we are no longer entertaining any CCC activists at Cynthia Mine,” Mashaya asserted.

He went on to express a sentiment of exclusion, suggesting that individuals aligned with opposition parties should seek opportunities elsewhere.

His remark, “People from the opposition should go and eat from their father not from our father because it won’t be fair,” reflects a discriminatory attitude towards those with differing political affiliations.

The alleged discrimination against CCC supporters at Cynthia Gold Mine raises concerns about fair labor practices and political freedom in the region.

Such actions not only violate the rights of individuals to participate in the political process but also undermine principles of equality and non-discrimination in employment.

While Cynthia Gold Mine has not officially commented on these allegations, the reported actions highlight the need for vigilance in safeguarding democratic principles and ensuring that all individuals are treated fairly and equitably, regardless of their political beliefs.

Former Zanu PF Member of Parliament for Chivi South, Killer Zivhu, has recently attracted attention for his unabashed display of loyalty towards President Emmerson Mnangagwa, taking bootlicking to new heights.

In a recent post on [platform name], Zivhu went to great lengths to praise Mnangagwa, even comparing him to revered figures in Zimbabwean society.

He wrote, “Vashoma chaizvo seni mu Zimbabwe vanonyatso nzwisisa murume uyu,” which loosely translates to “Truly brave are those in Zimbabwe who can understand this man,” referring to Mnangagwa.Zivhu’s effusive praise didn’t stop there.

He continued by stating, “Munongoita zvokunzwa nhema mu social media, murume uyu, wasiyana ne madh*ti ose amunoziva,” meaning “You hear lies about this man on social media, unlike all the other leaders you know.”

This statement not only praises Mnangagwa but also dismisses any criticism or negative portrayal of him on social media.

Furthermore, Zivhu expressed his unwavering support for Mnangagwa by declaring, “Haana gomo kana gungwa mberi kwake ndosaka ndichimuda zvangu ini,” signifying “He has no equal or peer ahead of him; that’s why I support him.”

This assertion portrays Mnangagwa as unparalleled and deserving of Zivhu’s unequivocal loyalty.

Zivhu’s overt bootlicking has sparked debate among Zimbabweans, with many questioning the sincerity of his praise and the motivations behind it.

Some have criticized Zivhu for his excessive flattery, accusing him of seeking favor or benefits from Mnangagwa’s administration.

Moreover, Zivhu’s past controversies add another layer of skepticism to his actions.

He was expelled from Zanu PF in 2020 for allegedly plotting against Mnangagwa, only to later seek readmission into the party.

This history raises doubts about the authenticity of his current allegiance to the president.

While political loyalty and support are not uncommon in Zimbabwean politics, Zivhu’s blatant display of bootlicking has drawn attention for its extravagance and timing.

As the country grapples with economic challenges and political tensions, some view Zivhu’s behavior as a distraction from more pressing issues facing the nation.

Killer Zivhu’s excessive flattery towards President Mnangagwa has raised eyebrows and sparked debate among Zimbabweans.

Whether driven by genuine admiration or ulterior motives, Zivhu’s public displays of loyalty serve as a reminder of the complexities of politics in Zimbabwe, where alliances can shift and loyalties can be questioned at any moment.

Opposition leader Advocate Nelson Chamisa has vehemently condemned the violent eviction of citizens by the government of Zimbabwe, shedding light on the pressing issue of land rights and ownership in the country.

In a poignant statement, Chamisa underscored the crucial link between independence, meaningful land rights, and ownership, emphasizing that mere occupation does not equate to true ownership.

“The communal lands act is draconian and colonial,” Chamisa declared, highlighting the systemic flaws within Zimbabwe’s land tenure system. He lamented that while many Zimbabweans may reside on land, they lack legal ownership, leaving them vulnerable to arbitrary displacement and dispossession.

Chamisa’s impassioned plea for justice resonated deeply as he denounced the heartache endured by citizens who have lost their homes due to state-sanctioned evictions.

He emphasized the inherent dignity and God-given entitlement of every citizen to land, condemning the recent displacements as flagrant violations of constitutional rights.

Citing specific constitutional provisions, including property rights, administrative justice, and freedom from arbitrary eviction, Chamisa underscored the legal basis for challenging the government’s actions.

He criticized the concentration of power in the hands of the President, highlighting the lack of accountability and citizen participation in decisions affecting communal lands.

Urging urgent action, Chamisa outlined a series of concrete steps to address the land rights crisis.

Chief among these measures is the issuance of title deeds to provide citizens with legal protection and security over their land.

He also called for a comprehensive review of outdated legislation, establishment of transparent land registries, and depoliticization of land allocation processes.

Moreover, Chamisa stressed the importance of community consultations and adequate compensation in cases of displacement, advocating for a fair and equitable approach to land management.

He proposed the introduction of land use planning mechanisms overseen by designated district planners to prevent abuse of state power and ensure sustainable land utilization.

Advocate Chamisa’s denouncement of brutal evictions by the Mnangagwa regime shines a spotlight on the urgent need for comprehensive land reform in Zimbabwe.

His call for justice, transparency, and citizen empowerment underscores the fundamental principles of democracy and human rights that must guide efforts to address the country’s land tenure challenges.

Only through collective action and genuine reform can Zimbabwe realize its promise of land ownership for all its citizens.

By A Correspondent| Residents and commuters in Mbare are expressing outrage over the continuous smoke emanating from the dumping area near the Mbare Musika International Termini. The Zimbabwean environmental rights group, PAZ (People Against Litter), is calling upon the Environmental Management Agency (EMA) and the City of Harare to take immediate action to address the issue.

The burning of refuse at the dump, which originates from vendors, commuters, residents, and city clean-ups, is causing significant air pollution and releasing harmful toxins into the surrounding environment. Residents living westward of the dump, along Seke Road/Chaminuka Street in Majorburg, and commuters using the termini are particularly affected by the smoke.

“We are deeply concerned about the health risks associated with this constant smoke,” said a spokesperson for PAZ. “The toxic pollutants being released into the air can have serious consequences for respiratory health, especially for vulnerable groups like children and the elderly.”

PAZ is urging the City of Harare and EMA to take the following actions:

• Extinguish the fire: Immediate steps need to be taken to extinguish the fire currently burning at the dumpsite.
• Implement consistent refuse collection: Regular and frequent collection of refuse is crucial to prevent the build-up of waste that leads to burning.

“We urge the relevant authorities, particularly the City of Harare and EMA, to heed this call and take immediate action to address this public health and environmental concern,” concluded the PAZ spokesperson.

The constant smoke from the Mbare dumping area highlights the city’s ongoing waste management challenges. Addressing this issue will require a collaborative effort between government agencies, waste management companies, and the community to implement sustainable solutions that prioritize both public health and environmental protection.

Cynthia Gold Mine in Shurugwi is vetting its workers and kicking out anyone found to have links with the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) party, a local media organisation has been told.

“We have been vetting people since last Thursday using our party cell registers and we are giving a card to every member vetted in. We are punishing them for betraying us when they voted for CCC councillors in Makusha.

If successfully implemented, the cooperation will be a critical pedestal to bolster security in the country, especially porous border points.

“We are happy to be exploring such ventures which help us better prepare against external threats.
