We write to you all to express our disappointments here at Buchwa District Headquarters,our normal deployment period is 42 Days but we are forced to extend due to mal-administration by this Silly-Useless-Unprofessional type of Command you gave us in Buchwa.We expect a balance between our Duties and Welfare but that’s not the Case here in Buchwa.Our Old Dispol is always after Love with Civilians arround various places surrounding Buchwa ie Polant,Ingezi,Vugwi to mention but a few hence he doesn’t have focus for Work issues concerning our Welfare ,what type of a Silly and Useless Dispol you gave us ,he is abusing that Newly acquired Sub-Aqua Ford Ranger vehicle at times Sub-Aqua guys are delaying in attending Critical Scenes whilst the vehicles is busy with the Dispol at Fishing or Mahure or kunodhakwa zvake ,his Liutenant Supt Vurayayi was recently assaulted at Polant abatwa neMukadzi wemunhu aineAmbulance yeCamp Clinic a Nissan NP300 hence tarnishing Buchwa District.

Time-Off only those for Chikorokoza Ngachipere just because We refused to give them Bribe or Corruption monies for grant of Time-Off.Right now on Wednesday,those for Operation Chikorokoza only were made to fill pot-holes from DHQ to Buchwa Shops by Supt Vurayayi saying the instruction was from Dispol but he told our Officers In Charge for Chikorokoza Ngachipere Zvishavane, Shurugwi and Kwekwe and said this is a delaying tactic for you all to organize yourselves moita zvinoitwa.After having done nothing because we don’t have the requested monies to find these Silly Grandfathers’

Disgruntled Members of Buchwa

By A Correspondent | CCC President Nelson Chamisa has clapped back at publisher Trevor Ncube who has continued piling character-accusations against him since 2018.

3 days ago, Ncube revived his 4 year old sensational accusations with which he claims Chamisa has accepted bribes from his rival Emmerson Mnangagwa.

Said Ncube:

Ncube who once said Chamisa’s mentor Morgan Tsvajgurai is the worst thing to happen in Zimbabwe next to Robert Mugabe, has over the years been suggesting that Chamisa is unsuitable for leadership.

Commenting, Chamisa described Ncube as “sick people [who] have sick hallucinations and imaginations.”

He continued saying, they must leave me alone if I’m such a horrible person…Why can’t they concentrate on their own candidates they believe in?” he asked.

Emmerson Mnangagwa’s party ZANU Pf’s members have published boasts saying they are taking in 2023 election candidates from diaspora returnees.

While it was not clear which countries these diasporans are coming from, one of the announcements is in the below tweet

The returning Cyclone Freddy, which was upgraded from a tropical storm on Saturday, is expected to make landfall in some parts of Zimbabwe from this weekend, bringing intermittent light rains and thunderstorms, the Meteorological Services Department (MSD), has said.

The cyclone strengthened on Saturday while anchored in Mozambique, prompting its upgrading from a tropical storm by weather experts.

It is returning to the region for the second inside two weeks, making it one of the longest running cyclones in history.

When it first hit the country, it claimed two lives, but caused moderate damage to property, mainly in Manicaland and Mashonaland East provinces.

The MSD has said this time around, although Cyclone Freddy has picked up strength, it was only expected to bring light rains and thunderstorms, which might also cause minimal damage.

“The country received light rains in Manicaland, Mashonaland East and Mashonaland Central.

Rainfall amounts recorded, however, were all traces except for 21mm measured at Mount Darwin. All other places were mostly sunny and warm in the afternoon,” it said on Sunday.

“It should be cloudy with a chance of intermittent light rain in Mashonaland Central, Harare Metropolitan, Mashonaland East, Manicaland and Masvingo Province.

Isolated thunderstorms are probable in the afternoon (Sunday).

Expect partly cloudy and warm weather in Mashonaland West, northern parts of the Midlands, Matabeleland North, Bulawayo Metropolitan, and Masvingo Province. Winds are anticipated to be moderate to fresh in most parts of the country,” the MSD said.

Cloudy and windy conditions are expected to continue to Monday in many parts of the country, with government warning people to heed precautions such as monitoring weather forecasts, and staying close to high ground. – New Ziana

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa says Zimbabweans are a peaceful people by nature, urging the nation’s citizens to be remembered for uniting and building their own country.

He said this at a field day held at his Pricabe Farm in Kwekwe this Saturday.

President Mnangagwa’s call comes as the country prepares to hold general elections this year.

The President, who addressed thousands of people at the field day, said regime change elements almost succeeded in sowing disunity but Zimbabweans are now united.

“We just maintain this peace and tranquility. Sanctions were imposed with the view of creating disharmony among the people so that there could be regime change. At one stage they almost succeeded but now that is not the case. We are getting more and more united. In Shona we say in a family not all members of the family will pull in the same direction, one or two will pull in the opposite direction. This happens in our country and it does not make us lose sleep. In fact, we sleep better if we know who is pulling in the opposite direction.”

The President said people should strive to be remembered for building their country.

“Be remembered for building your country, not for destroying your country. Be remembered for uniting people, not for dis-uniting people. Be remembered for building not destroying. So according to our Shona culture if a man or a woman preaches peace and harmony, when they die we deep the grave where we buried them, but those who are found to be destructive when they die we plough crops on the grave. I for one would like to be remembered for peace, production and building our country.”

The issue of drug abuse among youths and bullying continues to be a cause for concern and President Mnangagwa said Zimbabweans must unite in fighting the problem.

“There is a disease that has gripped our nation, we must fight drug abuse at community and household level. It’s not an issue which you say the government must fight, let us all fight it. Let’s expose those who bring the drugs. I have given instructions to the police to apprehend all who are high, school authorities who pay a blind eye to bullying will have a case to answer,” said the President.

“I’m told a tendency is coming up of bullying in schools. That should stop now. I’m told in some instances kids kill each other. That should stop. We are looking at how to deal with this issue and any school management found wanting, we will deal with them. Also we need peace from the grassroots.”

A top Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) investigator, Smart Marlon Mandofa, was dragged to court over the weekend to answer to criminal abuse of duty charges.

Mandofa is being accused of interacting with a complainant, who is said to be on the police wanted list.

Mandofa investigated and arrested businessman, Ofer Sivan, in a fraud case involving US$762 000 and $22 million in which Gilad Shabtai was a complainant.

However, the police have now arrested him, and are looking for two other ZACC officials, for interacting with Shabtai.

Mandofa was remanded in custody to today after deputy prosecutor general Michael Reza recused himself saying he knew Mandofa.

Allegations are that in August 2021, Sivan made a complaint against Shabtai and co-director of their company, Munyaradzi Gonyora.

Gonyora was arrested and appeared in court but Shabtai could not be located as he was out of the country.

A warrant of arrest was issued against him before it was later cancelled in court.

Allegations are that Mandofa, and his accomplices, lied that an anonymous person filed a report of forgery against Sivan, and he was arrested.

The State had it that Sivan was arrested after he had made a report against Shabtai, who hasn’t been arrested to date.

It is further alleged that Sivan queried his arrest as it appeared that Shabtai had contacted ZACC, yet there was a pending warrant of apprehension against him.

A request for travel history, in respect of Gilad Shabtai, was made to the Chief Director of Immigration, Zimbabwe Immigration Department, for the period from November, 1 2021 to August, 18 2022.

It allegedly showed that Shabtai was out of the country, when the case was reported at ZACC, until the matter was referred to court for prosecution.

The travel record shows that Shabtai visited Zimbabwe, through Robert Mugabe International Airport on July, 17 2022, and left the next day, but Mandofa and his accomplices didn’t arrest him. -H Metro

Boasting that it is better than the CCC, the Zanu PF National Elections Directorate and Security Department says it will thoroughly scrutinise thousands of CVs that have been submitted from across the country for submission to the Politburo that will make final approvals.

This comes as thousands of people, including the young, the old and women have thrown their hats in the ring—hoping to represent the ruling party in the forthcoming by-elections.

As of yesterday, provinces were still submitting the CVs that were submitted for the Senate, House of Assembly, local authorities, women, and youth quotas to the ruling party headquarters.

Observers said the overwhelming response from across different demographic groups and professions is an attestation of the popularity of Zanu PF and its people-tailored policies as enunciated by President Mnangagwa.

Before submission to the National Elections Directorate, Zanu PF Political Commissar Mike Bimha said Provincial Elections Directorates only make their comments and remarks without necessarily denying any candidate to lodge his or her CV.

“Right now we cannot talk of successful candidates or unsuccessful candidates because what the provinces were simply doing was really to consider these CVs against the rules and regulations set out earlier, thereby making recommendations and also giving their remarks, therefore the next stage will be for these submissions to be interrogated by the National Elections Directorate.

“The same submission will also come under scrutiny by our security department so that after the vetting process, we then move to the stage where the final approval will be given by the Politburo and which will mark the beginning of the campaigns of this internal processes,” he said.

Prospective candidates, he added, have to wait until they get approval from the party before they start campaigning.

“We discourage candidates to campaign now because they still have to wait for approval, they still have to wait for the processes to take place and then once that they have been successful in the processes then they can start campaigning,” he said

A record number of aspiring candidates have submitted their CVs to stand in for the ruling party in the forthcoming elections with a blend of old and new faces in a display of the universal popularity of Zanu PF.

On Saturday and Sunday, the ruling party’s aspiring candidates submitted their CVs to the provincial administrators at their respective provincial headquarters.

Aspiring candidates will be vying for 210 constituencies, 1 970 wards, 60 senatorial, 60 for women’s quota, and 10 for Youth quota.

Young people in particular have shown keen interest to represent Zanu PF in the forthcoming elections, the dates of which will be announced soon by President Mnangagwa.

The zeal to represent Zanu PF runs deep, with one province alone receiving more than 4000 nomination papers in a display of thriving democracy in the revolutionary party.

“As I said earlier on, there has been an overwhelming response with some of the positions, particularly for the House of the Assembly where you have 10 or more candidates pursuing one position across the board on the National Assembly the Senate, the women’s quota, youth quota, and local Authority. I would like to thank all our members for exercising their rights by coming forward and demonstrating their willingness to work for the party,” said Bimha.

A police officer has appeared in court for allegedly extorting US$500 from a woman he accused of drug dealing.
Clever Daika (59) of CID commercial crime division in Harare appeared before Harare magistrate Mrs Tafadzwa Miti charged with extortion and was remanded in custody pending bail ruling on Thursday.

The State alleged that on Friday last week, Daika accused Pamela Glenda of dealing in dangerous drugs and threatened that she was going to be arrested by ZACC, with the commission seizing her property as well. He said he could stop this if she paid him US$500.

Ms Glenda reported Daika’s demands to the police who then set a trap and arrested him. He was arrested allegedly in possession of the bribe money with the telephone conversation forming part of the evidence. – state media

By Farai D Hove | Publisher Trevor Ncube has announced sensational accusations against CCC leader Nelson Chamisa saying he has finally accepted bribes from Emmerson Mnangagwa.

While a comment from Chamisa was awaited, Ncube continued to struggle to clear himself of a pile of false claims including that the exiled G40 ministers, Saviour Kasukuwere and Jonathan Moyo are currently stuck at KG6 barracks since Nov 2017. The two have never been to the barracks since their government days.

Says Ncube-

But he continues to struggle to explain things like his Kasukuwere Jonso whereabout claims, since the day he said:

By A Correspondent| President Mnangagwa has urged his violence-loving party supporters to respect divergent political views and not resort to political violence ahead of the harmonised elections this year.

Speaking at is Precabe farm in Kwekwe on Saturday, Mnangagwa told his party supporters to leave opposition supporters to do their campaigning peacefully.

“We should campaign peacefully and leave those with different views do so peacefully. We should be a peaceful nation and we should prove this in the way we conduct ourselves in this coming election,” he said.

He also appealed to society to help in the fight against drug and substance abuse that has become rampant in the country.

“We must collectively fight drug abuse at family, household, community, business levels, we must fight this together. It is no longer an issue that you say Government will do this for us, all of us must fight drug abuse, it is destroying our young generation,” he said.

“I have ordered police to arrest anyone who would be found drunk from drugs. The moment they wake up, they should be able to name the person who supplied them and they get arrested. That is the way we can end this menace,” he said.

On bullying, President Mnangagwa said parents, church and traditional leaders should play a crucial role in ending this.

“It is worrisome from the reports I get that some end up committing suicide while some kill each other due to bullying. Parents should play their role in telling their children not to participate in bullying others,” said President Mnangagwa.

He said the Government was looking at ways of dealing with the issue. He said those that bully others should be expelled from school so at to create a conducive learning environment. The President called upon church and traditional leaders to play a key role.

“I call upon everyone including chiefs, headmen and the church to continue preaching the gospel of peace and love. The church must emphasise on the issue of bullying and drug abuse as I think the church has a big role to play in educating people,” he said.

Government workers reportedly rejected a US$50 salary increment offered by their employer during the National Joint Negotiating Council (NJNC) negotiations held last week Friday.

Government had offered a US$20 increment from US$200 and the latest meeting saw another increment that will see the lowest-paid worker earning US$250.

Representatives of the civil servants in the Friday salary negotiations, the Zimbabwe Congress of Public Sector Trade Unions (ZCPSTU), did not disclose the figures tabled by government during the negotiations, but only said there were issues that they did not agree with.

Government and ZCPSTU met under the NJNC for the second time this year on Friday for salary talks, with civil servants demanding a salary increment that would see the least-paid worker earning US$840.

Currently, teachers, for example, are earning about $36 000 and a US$120 component, plus a US$75 COVID-19 allowance.

Government also offered a 100% increment on the teachers’ local currency earnings, up from a 50% hike provided last week.

“The government made several concessions on our demands, but there are outstanding issues. As a workers’ team of negotiators, we requested the government team of negotiators to engage their principals and make further consultations about the outstanding demands. The meeting has agreed to meet on March 16, 2023, for feedback from the government’s side,” ZCPSU said in a statement on Friday.

Public Service ministry secretary Simon Masanga said the ongoing negotiations with ZCPSTU were “fruitful”.

Zimbabwe Teachers Association secretary-general Goodwill Taderera said government had agreed to pay the salary increment starting next month, but the workers rejected the offer.

“Government reviewed our gross salaries in local currency from 50% to 100% and reconfigured the COVID-19 allowance and the cushion allowance to the amalgamated civil service allowance, which moved from the previously offered US$220 to US$250.

“Additionally, there is a teaching allowance of US$80 paid in local currency. This is inflation-adjusted. But we have not yet agreed on any of these figures. The effective date was given as April 1, 2023, which we rejected and demanded that it be backdated to January,” Taderera said.

Meanwhile, Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union president Obert Masarawure said a strike was looming.

“Our power is not in the boardroom, but in collective action by workers. So we are mobilising workers for a massive strike to resume on March 13, 2023, if the government fails to address our demands,” he said.

Tinashe Sambiri|Divine Destiny leader Bishop Ancelimo Magaya has reprimanded government spokesperson George Charamba for gloating over the detention of CCC deputy chairperson Job Sikhala.

Bishop Magaya declared Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa and his ilk would be victims of their own shenanigans.

See statement below:

Toxic environment in Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe has sadly become a boiling cauldron of deadly mixture, ranging from those warning fellow citizens like Peter Mutasa of “numbered days” as though they are God, to the bureaucrats like “Jamwanda” who shamelessly stoop so low to the point of celebrating the continuous detention of Sikala.

As we warned the former President Mugabe Prof Jonathan Moyo, kasukuwere and team in 2016 that they were not safe from the vicious and toxic environment they had aided in creating, we also warn enablers like George Charamba on the basis of the authority of the word of God that divine justice is not far.

Beware of being trapped in the webs of your own making. God is no fool“These things you have done, and l kept silent. You thought that l was altogether like you, but l will rebuke you and set them in order before your eyes” (Psalm 50:21). God save Zimbabwe.

State Media- Election dates will be announced soon, President Mnangagwa hinted at the weekend, but urged everyone to remain peaceful and shun violence as the country gets into election campaign mode.
Addressing thousands of people who attended the national field day at his Precabe Farm in Sherwood, Kwekwe, on Saturday, the President said Zimbabweans must put each other first, before their political affiliation, to ensure peace before, during and after elections.

“We are going for harmonised elections very soon. We must maintain this peace, this unity which we are enjoying,” said President Mnangagwa.

“First, we must be proud to be Zimbabwean, whether we are poor or not we should be proud to be Zimbabwean.

“We must love our neighbours. The Lord above blesses nations that love others, who promote peace, who promote harmony.”

President Mnangagwa said Zimbabweans were a peace-loving people and should always uphold peace, avoiding incidents of violence during election campaigns. They should strive to uphold unity bound by the fact that they were one people.

“We are by nature very peaceful people. Violence is alien to us. We are Zimbabweans. We should build our Zimbabwe; it is nature which gave us this land between Zambezi and Limpopo. Others are in Mozambique, it’s the Lord who made them Mozambicans; others are in Portugal, it’s the Lord who said they must be Portuguese. So be proud of your country.

“Be remembered for building your country, not destroying your country. Be remembered for uniting people not disunity. Be remembered for preaching peace and not for preaching hate.”

Opposition elements, he said, were a normal occurrence in any society. The country, which is on an economic rebound under the Second Republic, was aware of its detractors that are bent on reversing the gains achieved so far.

Turning to sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe by the West, President Mnangagwa said imperialists tried to push regime change, but the Second Republic had managed to circumvent the sanctions.

“Yes, sanctions were imposed on us with the view of causing disharmony amongst the people so there could be regime change, but not at any one point did the plan nearly succeed.

“Now, the reverse is what is happening; we are getting more and more enlightened. But in Shona we say, ‘in a family not all family members will pull in the same direction’. One or two will pull in the opposite direction and in our country it also happens. That doesn’t make us lose sleep. In fact, it makes us sleep because we know who are pulling in the opposite direction. So it’s our country: let us build our country,” said the President.

Zimbabwe sought to establish good relations with all countries of the world under the mantra, “a friend to all and enemy to none”.

This has seen the Second Republic embarking on an engagement and re-engagement drive to mend relations with those countries that turned their backs on Zimbabwe following land reform while creating new relations with other countries and maintaining the existing good relations with others.

Vice President Dr Constantino Chiwenga echoed President Mnangagwa’s peace call.

“We are headed for harmonised elections in a few months to come and we must all be peaceful. Every time I am reminded of the late former Vice President Dr John Land Nkomo, who said peace should begin with me, peace should begin with you and that peace should begin with us all. So we all uphold peace,” he said.-state media

State Media-A Hwange man who fatally assaulted a fellow reveller with a wooden plank following a misunderstanding over beer has been jailed seven years for culpable homicide.
Ragee Muleya from BH43 village under Chief Shana in Jambezi, who was 24 at the time of committing the offense in March last year, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of culpable homicide when he appeared before Bulawayo High Court judge, Justice Maxwell Takuva.

Sitting on circuit at Hwange Magistrate court, Justice Takuva convicted Muleya on a culpable homicide charge for negligently causing the death of 24-year-old Talent Munkena, slapping him with a seven-year prison term before conditionally suspending two years.

According to a statement of agreed facts between the state led by Mrs Martha Cheda and defense counsel’s Mr Douglas Ncube from Legal Aid Directorate on 27 March 2022 and at around 23:30hrs, the accused and the deceased were at Wellington Bar drinking opaque. During the course of the beer binge, the two had an altercation over some beer before the deceased threatened the accused with assault.

The deceased subsequently fulfilled his threat, assaulting the accused with an open hand once on the face. The accused then picked a wooden plank, which was inside the bar and struck the deceased who fell down unconscious once on the head.

Other revellers, Silibaziso Sibindi and Thabani Moyo rendered first aid on the deceased and he regained consciousness before he was ferried to Jambezi clinic for treatment.

However, the deceased succumbed to injuries sustained from the assault nine days later on 5 April 2022. Meanwhile, in a related case, a 25-year-old Inyathi man was sentenced to six years imprisonment for causing the death of Malaki Ndlovu whom he fatally struck for “interfering in my business”.

Justice Takuva found Nelson Ncube not guilty of murder but convicted him on a lesser charge of culpable homicide for causing death of Ndlovu who was 41 years old at the time he met his death. One year of the sentence was suspended for five years for good behaviour.

The state and defense agreed that on 30 April 2022 and at around 1900hrs, Ncube and Ndlovu were at Joylink Bottlestore playing snooker as well as drinking ‘hot stuff’ beer with some unidentified persons. During that time, the deceased had a misunderstanding with one of the patrons only identified as Mtshifana before Ncube reprimanded the former.

This, however, did not go down well with the deceased who approached the accused and queried why he was interfering in the issue. A misunderstanding ensued before the two started pushing and shoving each other. Ncube then struck the deceased once on the forehead with a snooker stick he was holding resulting in him falling down unconscious.

The accused and Polite Sinela rendered first aid on the deceased before he fled the scene after pouring water on the deceased while Sinela covered the deceased with a blanket as he was shivering. The deceased was ferried to the hospital the following day where he later died.-state media

Tinashe Sambiri|Divine Destiny leader Bishop Ancelimo Magaya has reprimanded government spokesperson George Charamba for gloating over the detention of CCC deputy chairperson Job Sikhala.

Bishop Magaya declared Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa and his ilk would be victims of their own shenanigans.

See statement below:

Toxic environment in Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe has sadly become a boiling cauldron of deadly mixture, ranging from those warning fellow citizens like Peter Mutasa of “numbered days” as though they are God, to the bureaucrats like “Jamwanda” who shamelessly stoop so low to the point of celebrating the continuous detention of Sikala.

As we warned the former President Mugabe Prof Jonathan Moyo, kasukuwere and team in 2016 that they were not safe from the vicious and toxic environment they had aided in creating, we also warn enablers like George Charamba on the basis of the authority of the word of God that divine justice is not far.

Beware of being trapped in the webs of your own making. God is no fool“These things you have done, and l kept silent. You thought that l was altogether like you, but l will rebuke you and set them in order before your eyes” (Psalm 50:21). God save Zimbabwe.

By A Correspondent | The man who “investigative journalist’ Hopewell Chin’ono says owns a private jet, the Democratic Union of Zimbabwe leader, Robert Chapman has fallen into deep debt following multiple trips between Harare and Tennessee.

Chapman has blown thousands of his 4 children’s food money on his political campaign, it has emerged.

Chapman was Thursday afternoon served prosecution papers for contempt of court (over defaulting child support money payments plus visitation failure which has lasted over 3 months.)

Chapman, who some Zimbabweans label, Obama, was served at around 3.30pm, Nashville Time, court papers in ZimEye’s possession show.

In the state of Tennessee, when one fails to pay child maintenance and goes into arrears for over 3 months, they’ve broken the law.

Lawyers used court server services to track Robert Chapman upon him entering the Nashville area.

The officers physically chased him up, and their movement is reflected in the following live satellite tracker (officer reflected in the cop icon, that’s moving up the journey trail in the map).

The software tracked Chapman down to a local hotel.

The development was confirmed by the software used by the local solicitors.

Chapman has child maintenance arrears totalling more than USD10,000 for his 4 children with two different mothers, both based in the US. Papers served yesterday were for his fourth child.

One of the bills has on its own ran above the USD7,000 marker.

Mr Chapman cooperated during the serving, a source told ZimEye.

Contacted for comment via phone, Chapman responded saying he would call back to speak over the court official incident.

‘Hello Robert. Are you well? Want to publish the breaking story regarding the serving of papers that’s just happened against you at 3.30pm. Do you consider yourself financially fit for 2023 elections seeing you keep defaulting on child maintenance, which is a serious offence since 2014?,’ he was asked, to which he asked for more time. “Can I return your call shortly,” he said.

2 hours later, Chapman was still to call, and he was asked once again, ‘Thank you for replying me…but you are still to call. Is it not wise to use the Harare flight money for your kids? Time is moving. I have a deadline on the o-clock for your final comment,’ he was told.

The latest development is one ina string of several others since 2014, when a judge ordered for his arrest over the first arrears running over USD12,000.

Chapman divorced his first wife in December 2010, and Thursday’s development regards his second marriage which was terminated 3 years ago.

In 2014, the Catoosa County Superior court in Georgia ordered Chapman to pay $500 a child. He was dragged him to court as his wife sought to compel him to pay child support.

“…Robert Howard Chapman does not pay $500 per month toward said child support arrears until paid in full, upon affidavit of Plaintiff, the Defendant shall be confined to the common jail of Catoosa County for his wilful failure and refusal to abide by the lawful order of this Court until the remaining arrears are paid in full,” read an order by Judge Brian House of the Catoosa County Superior Court.

“It is further ordered, adjudged, and decreed that the defendant shall continue to pay the sum of $873 per month as current support, in addition to the purge amount of $500 per month,” the ruling read.

Despite Chapman later clearing the total amount over USD12,000, he has accrued a new burden, running beyond USD11,000 for the four kids, as at Friday, today.

Chapman’s party was unreachable at the time of writing.

Police in Bulawayo are appealing for information that may lead to the location of Bithanian Mandingora (27) who went missing last month.
Mandingora went missing three days before her wedding day which was meant to take place on 25 February.

According to Bulawayo police provincial spokesperson, Inspector Abednico Ncube, Mandingora was last seen on 22 February going to deposit money for her wedding gown in preparation for her wedding which was set for 25 February.

“She was last seen wearing a pair of black jean trousers, a black jacket with pink stripes on the arms, black sneakers and she also carried a pink handbag,” said Insp Ncube.

Police described her as approximately 1,69m in height, slim built, brown eyes, black hair and dark in complexion.

“Anyone who receives information of the missing person should contact Constable Kamanga on 071245625 or Bulawayo police on 029272515/7 or should visit the nearest police station,” said Insp Ncube.— Sunday News

A Hwange man who allegedly gruesomely killed his 62-year-old uncle, dismembered his body, cooked and ate the remains while hanging the intestines and some of the body parts on a tree to dry, has been committed to a mental institution.

Wished Mumpande (39) of Mubhora Village, Chief Nekatambe in Hwange made headlines in the local Press after he butchered his uncle, Fida Stephen Mumpande who was aged 62 of Bhale Village, Chief Nekatambe, and ate part of the remains.

Mumpande was found in the Gandwe Hills with a pot of cooked meat, by a search team of three that was looking for Fida who had left his homestead three days prior to go and prepare his fields along Gwayi River. The search team was following Fida’s shoeprints.

On discovering the pot with cooked meat on top of the hill, the three suspected that the meat could be the remains of Fida and after a further search close to where the pot was, they found dismembered body parts scattered around.

Post-mortem results showed that some body parts such as intestines, liver, tongue, pancreas, bladder, and kidneys were missing.

When Mumpande was arrested he was referred to a psychiatrist, Dr Elena Paskotchinova who is registered with Ingutsheni Central Hospital in Bulawayo, who examined him at Mlondolozi Prison Hospital.

Presenting the results of the examination at the High Court which was in circuit in Hwange before Justice Maxwell Takuva, the acting prosecutor-general, Mr Nelson Mutsonziwa said Mumpande was mentally challenged and not fit for trial leading to his reference to a mental institution.

In a similar case, Gilbert Ndlovu from Deka Village in Lupane who killed his neighbour for unknown reasons in 2021 was also referred by the High Court to a mental institution.

According to the State on 21 October 2021, at around 6am, Ndlovu went to his neighbour’s place armed with two axes. On arrival, he forcibly unlocked the door and struck the now-deceased on the head before proceeding to assault the nephew of the deceased.

The court heard from the evidence presented by Dr Paskotchinova was that Ndlovu was once admitted to Ingutsheni Central Hospital in 2019 following somatic hallucinations where he complained of a certain object moving and burning his body.

In 2020, Ndlovu was once again admitted to the same institution due to auditory hallucinations, physical and verbal aggression whereby he threatened to kill other residents with either an axe or a knife.

“The accused person showed no remorse for the death of his neighbour as he claimed his neighbour had bewitched him with his five goblins and made him mentally ill.

According to the State on 21 October 2021, at around 6am, Ndlovu went to his neighbour’s place armed with two axes. On arrival, he forcibly unlocked the door and struck the now-deceased on the head before proceeding to assault the nephew of the deceased.

He further explained how a demon possessed him from his feet to his head before coming out of him as the sun. He also stated that he began drinking alcohol at 16 years and smoked about five cannabis twists daily,” said Dr Paskotchinova, as part of his findings.

The court also decided that the accused person was not fit for trial and was referred back to a mental institution where he is to remain until he is of no harm to society. Another alleged murderer, Irvine Sibanda was also deemed not fit to stand trial and was committed to a mental institution. Sibanda, who is from Nkayi also appeared at the same court last Tuesday. He is accused of having fatally assaulted his father with a metal rod for no reason. —Sunday News

A UK visa holder, the Zanu PF Gutu North MP Yeukai Simbanegavi, has been captured on camera unleashing violence against a CCC candidate, putting herself at risk of arrest upon touching down in UK.

Britain has wide reaching jurisdiction to prosecute torture crimes committed in foreign countries.

Rogue Zanu PF youth travelling with Yeukai Simbanegavi manhandled Gutu South CCC aspiring candidate Samuel Tsvangirai at Chinyika Business Center in Gutu on Sunday and almost bundled him into the back of the legislator’s truck before opposition supporters intervened.
The Zanu PF youth including Simbanegavi’s driver accused Tsvangirai of allegedly taking pictures of them as they charged at CCC supporters.

The incident happened after Simbanegavi and the youth allegedly waylaid the CCC supporters travelling in a truck at the business center some 40km north of Mpandawana Growth Point.

Simbanegavi confirmed the incident to The Mirror and that she was travelling with the youth. She queried Tsvangirai’s presence in Gutu North when he comes from Gutu South. She accused CCC supporters of going round provoking people and said that she had reported the matter to Police.

The Mirror says it has a video of the incident.

Tsvangirai also confirmed the incident adding that Zanu PF was paranoid of and would attack anything yellow. He declined to say what action he will take against his attackers.

The youth involved in the violence are all unemployed, were drunk and well known in the area.

They included Francis Mahachi who comes from Hanisi Village near Rafomoyo School in Gutu Ward 9; Bennie Mutare from Farm 112 Nyazvidzi next to Domborenikiti Primary School; Munyaradzi Mutare who stays near Mutanda Primary School Ward 9; Musengi Hunyanyiwa from Firomumwe in Ward 10, Maxwell Chiwanda from Chirozva Village in Ward 10; Blessing Wititi from Guchacha in Ward 10, James Mataruse and two others only identified as Tranos and Maggie.

Maggie who is understood to be working from an office at Gutu Rural District Council threw dust into Tsvangirai’s face and head. Mahachi was the most aggressive of the Zanu PF youth.

The attack happened while Simbanegavi sat at a disused hall, 200 metres away, according to Zanu PF youth who spoke to The Mirror. The majority of the youth allegedly refused to carry out the attack on CCC supporters after complaining that they could be injured.

Mahachi and Bennie Mutare confirmed that they were with Simbanegavi on the day. Mahachi confessed that he was involved in the attack while Mutare said he was just at the scene.

A senior CCC member who was at the scene condemned Simbanegavi for her alleged appetite for violence.

“Very soon she will have innocent people’s blood in her hands. I hope she is old enough to remember that two Zanu PF youth were killed at the same business center where she was agitating for violence in 2008 after angry villagers mobilized and overran a torture camp. She must not continue to take people for granted. Elections are lawful and who is she to dictate who participates or not?” asked the CCC member.

The youth only stopped bundling Tsvangirai into the vehicle, when CCC councillor Bernard Chimwango warned them that they were about to commit a serious crime which is kidnapping. He also warned them that he was not going to fold his hands while they do that.

Simbanegavi who did O Levels at Gutu Mission in 1995 comes from Simbanegavi Village in Gutu Central Constituency. Her mother Elizabeth Simbanegavi is a councillor at Gutu RDC. Simbanegavi worked at some shops in Gutu District before she joined the Ministry of Women Affairs at Mpandawanana.

Parliamentary seats for Gutu have over the years been dominated by former Gutu RDC workers with three former employees currently being either MPs or Senators.-Masvingo Mirror

A Makoni villager who secretly datǝd his friend and neighbour’s wife since last year recently parted ways with six cattle for his pr0miscu0us and shameless behaviour.

Tendai Muchochomi of Chiendambuya Growth Point was last week dragged to Chief Makoni’s court for dɑting Misi Chigudu’s wife, Forget Muchanya, since September last year.

Narrating the issue, Chigudu said Muchochomi secretly bought his wife a cellphone and SIM card for their secret communication.

“One day I deliberately did not go to my shop and stayed at home. My wife received a call and I overheard a male voice saying: “Hello swǝǝtie, uri sei hako (how are you)”.

“I grabbed the phone from my wife. It was my first time to see that phone and I was not aware that my wife had a secret line.

“I questioned my wife about it and she told me that the caller was Muchochomi and they had been dɑting since last year.

She also said Muchochomi bought her the cellphone. We have since separated with the mother of my child over this issue.

“My wife went and informed Muchochomi that the secret ɑffa!r had been exposed. Muchochomi teamed up with his brothers and apologised to my father, Reverend Chigudu, but he refused to entertain them.

“I am hurt by what Muchochomi did to me. I want him to compensate me with 10 beasts and US$220, which is the cost of this lawsuit,” said a heartbroken Chigudu.

Reverend Chigudu also testified that Muchochomi and his brothers approached him so that he could facilitate dialogue between them and his son over the issue.

He said the Muchochomis also expressed their willingness to compensate his son, Misi.

However, Muchochomi denied dating Chigudu’s wife, but admitted approaching his father. He was also ordered to pay US$220 as the cost of the lawsuit.

Muchochoni’s brother was fined a beast for his false testimony before the court.

Victory of the CCC is now certain in Masvingo Urban after Zanu PF endorsed Wellington Mahwende as the candidate for the House of Assembly.

“A man who is known for corruption (Mahwende) and loves women wants to be a representative of the people of Masvingo Urban. This man snatches people’s wives- he himself said last week at a Zanu PF ward 6 meeting that people are saying he loves women like oxygen,” a war veteran fumed.

Zanu PF sources claim the man dates many ladies.

Another pastor from ward 5 “who is a best friend to Mahwende” was also reportedly found having sex with a married lady, leading to widespread criticism of the party over women’s issues.

Citizens say the man, Mahwende, is a thug and does not deserve to represent the people.

Members of the Zanu PF women’s league in Masvingo say they are in the oven ” because of the man, a deputy mayor who snatches married ladies.”
