ONE of the two lions that have been wreaking havoc in Hwange has been killed, with Zimparks authorities still tracking the other one.

Zimparks Spokesperson Mr Tinashe Farawo told the Zbc News that a joint effort between the Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority and the Hwange Rural District Council resulted in the other lion being put down, while the search for the second problem animal continues.

Mr Farawo said, ‘‘Our Zimparks reaction team together with Hwange Rural District Council have reacted to two problem animals in the area, and they managed to eliminate one lion. These lions were killing cattle within the locality and we are still on the ground with the view of eliminating the remaining lion.’’

The development comes after Zimparks rangers killed a problem elephant in Victoria Falls last week.

Opposition leader Elizabeth Valerio says the CCC party’ finger symbol was her mum’s.

Writing in a tweet on Thursday, Valerio says

A SAKUBVA man died after he fell off from the fourth floor of Matida Flats while wrestling with his married lover’s husband early Sunday morning.

It is alleged that Tawanda Chirenje (25) had caught the now deceased Gift Saungweme (40) in a compromising position with his estranged wife, Phillipa Dariyani (25), in a friend’s apartment.

Manicaland provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Nobert Muzondo confirmed that the police are on the hunt for Chirenje who took the law into his own hands and pushed Saungweme off a fourth floor window at Matida Hostel as they wrestled.

“Chirenje had caught Dariyani drinking beer with Saungweme in a friend’s apartment. He assaulted her with the flat side of a machete, booted feet and fists and proceeded to assault Saungweme.

“They wrestled towards an open window and as they wrestled, Saungweme fell off the window from the fourth floor. He sustained head injuries and died on Monday morning.

“We are treating the matter as a murder incident as the circumstances are all pointing that way. As the police, we urge people not to take the law into their own hands and not to use violence when such matters arise,” said Inspector Muzondo.

When The Manica Post visited the scene on Monday, Dariyani’s friends revealed that she is a sex worker who had offered her services to the now deceased, with her husband catching them red handed.

During our visit to Matida Hostels, we leant that Dariyami had just been picked by the police for questioning while Chirenje was reported to have disappeared shortly after Saungweme’s fall from the building.

In an interview with The Manica Post, Dariyami’s friend, Shallon Maisera, in whose apartment the two lovebirds were caught red handed, said she had been drinking with Dariyami and Saungweme at the bar that night before they decided to go to her apartment.

“I offered them my apartment because her children were sleeping in her apartment, which is on the third floor. The three of us had been drinking in my apartment when Saungweme sent me to buy more beer and it was already past midnight.

“When I came back, I was shocked to find Chirenje inside my apartment with the lovebirds. Dariyani was crying and begging for Chirenje to forgive her. I knocked and Chirenje opened the door for me.

“He told me that he had caught the two in bed and that he wanted to kill them. I tried to stop him but he pushed and locked me outside. Shortly afterwards, he came out and told me that Saungweme had jumped off the window. He then walked away after that,” said Maisera.

She said Dariyami was assaulted all over her body with the machete.

Maisera said when they rushed downstairs, Saungweme who was still alive but badly injured asked for some water.

“I asked him if he had been pushed off the window or if he had jumped but he kept saying ‘pakaipa’ so we rushed him to the hospital where he died later on,” she said.

Dariyani’s other friend, Memory Chaipa said Dariyani and Chirenje’s relationship was strained due to Chirenje’s violent nature.

“Chirenje is negligent and violent, which is why Dariyani joined us in sex work. She wanted to take care of her five children but Chirenje who is an illegal gold panner would not understand this. He has one child with her but he does not look after that child,” said Chaipa.

The friends also confronted each other on who could have alerted Chirenje that Dariyani was with Saungweme.

They accused Maisera, who however avidly refused being the informer.

“We heard that it was you Maisera who called Chirenje because you wanted him to yourself as he had some money, so please tell us the truth. Why did he show up at the time that you had gone to the bar? Please be open with us and state the truth?” asked Chaipa.

However, Maisera insisted that she had nothing to do with it.

“I honestly do not know how everything took place. I was at the bar buying beers, I did not call Chirenje. Why would I do that when Dariyani is my best friend? I was also shocked to find Chirenje in my home. I am dealing with severe trauma right now because the man jumped from my apartment, I fear that his ghost will haunt me when I did nothing wrong,” she defended herself.

Prior to The Manica Post’s arrival at Matida Flats, the Saungweme family had been at the scene to conduct some rituals.

“Saungweme’s parents were here this morning. They took some blood-stained soil from where he fell and conducted some rituals. The mother ordered her dead son to revenge those that caused his death.

“It was scary, she asked the residents for a hoe so that she could dig the soil that she wanted but no one came forward. So she threatened that she would leave the blood as it was and that the whole Matida Hostel would be uninhabitable due to her son’s ghost, that is when people rushed to look for a hoe for her,” said Chaipa.

At the place where Saungweme landed was some snuff that had been sprinkled by his mother and some other strange objects.- Manica Post

The world was never the same for Sibusisiwe Chirenje when she saw the video of her daughter being mercilessly flogged by four bullies. The two-and-a-half minute video, though short, crumbled her world into pieces.
The mother-of-five wept uncontrollably, and she couldn’t imagine the pain her 14-year-old daughter must have endured from the thrashing at the hands of four bullies, who were all schoolboys from Mathula Secondary School in Tsholotsho.

In this digital age, every public action can be recorded with a touch of a button by anyone who owns a smartphone. Chirenje had seen her fair share of videos circulating on social media, some hilarious and meant to entertain, while others were too horrifying in nature to watch. But, she never imagined that one day, her daughter would be watched by thousands of viewers on social media being senselessly beaten by boys old enough to be her older siblings.

Anger, sadness, disgust, and fear — all rolled into one burning emotion — engulfed the 37-year-old woman as she tried to wrap her head around the situation.

“I cried for hours. The pain I felt from watching my daughter being beaten for no reason by a group of older boys was just too much for me to bear. So, I made the difficult decision to send the video to a relative and delete it from my phone,” she said.

Chirenje couldn’t keep such a traumatic video on her mobile phone; it was too much for her to comprehend.

She wondered how four boys could come to a decision to beat up a younger girl with sticks that were not even fit to whip a donkey with? What had she done to deserve such an attack?

In the video that shocked a nation, a group of Mathula Secondary School students were walking home when one older boy confronted a young girl and started whipping her with a stick without explanation. Two other boys, also holding sticks, joined in beating up the hapless girl as she cried out for help, but that assistance never came.

The victim can be seen running in the direction of another older boy, whom she appears to think might rescue her, but instead, the bully joins in, lashing her with a stick. Other learners laughed without a care at the pain the victim was going through while the unsettling footage was captured on camera.

Contrary to what many viewers believe is a relatively new video exposing deep-rooted bullying in rural Tsholotsho, the incident is, in fact, four months old but was recently posted on social media.

The victim is now in Form Two at Mathula Secondary School.

“My daughter was beaten by those boys in late November last year, and I only knew about the incident two weeks ago after it started circulating on WhatsApp. When I asked her why she kept quiet all this time, she said she was scared the boys would beat her up again if she reported the incident at school or at home.”

According to Chirenje, her daughter’s friend and classmate wrote a love letter expressing interest in one of the boys but signed the letter using her child’s name. When the boy, under the impression that her daughter had written the love letter, asked to walk her home, she refused, which upset the older learner. The rejection didn’t go down well with the older boy, who then ganged up with other boys to beat up her child.

“I can only conclude that the rejection didn’t go down well with the older boy who then ganged up with other boys to beat up my child. All I want is justice for my child, she doesn’t deserve to be beaten like that and intimidated by other students in such a horrible way,” said Chirenje.

The arrest of the boys by the police was after the victim’s father, who works in South Africa, pursued the issue, seeking justice for his daughter. He had been tipped off by one of the learners at the school that a video of his daughter being beaten by older boys was circulating amongst the students.

The infuriated father — California Vundla — did his own investigations and unearthed the disturbing video.

It’s not clear who posted the video on social media despite its existence for four months. The perpetrators briefly appeared in court on Wednesday morning, the same day that a Saturday Chronicle news crew was in Tsholotsho, at Dogwe Village investigating the incident, and were released into the custody of their parents.

The victim’s grandmother Lavi Vundla said the family is seeking justice for the teenage girl, even if the beating took place four months ago.

“Whenever my daughter-in-law talks about the video, she still cries up to this day.

“No parent deserves to see their child beaten like that. We are leaving everything in the hands of the courts but we certainly want justice for our child,” said Gogo Vundla.

The four boys are known to the victim’s family.

“They are local boys whose parents are our neighbours and friends. I’m still shocked what pushed those boys to do something like that. It’s our duty to teach boys and young men that gender-based violence is not okay,” said Siphosenkosi Ndlovu, an elderly villager who briefly talked to the Saturday Chronicle at the local shops close to the victim’s homestead.

Mathula Secondary School headmaster Tylod Nkomo was said to be out of office attending school business at the Tsholotsho Centre. His cellphone was unreachable.

South Africa-based Zimbabwean psychologist Dr Thelma Masuku-Jones says cases of young men who beat up girls are usually signs of absentee fathers in the family.

“Boys that grow up in families with absent fathers are more likely to engage in violent behaviour against their romantic partners or future wives, they are more likely to end up in poverty or drop out of school, become addicted to drugs, have a child out of wedlock, or end up in prison.

“Migration of fathers for opportunities outside the country for prolonged periods of time leaving children in the care of their mothers or extended family members also leads to behavioural changes in teenage boys,” says Dr Masuku-Jones.

The psychologist opines that on average children whose father is actively involved tend to have fewer problems with school achievement, behaviour and social interaction than children whose father is not actively involved in their lives.- state media

2 men from Harare who pretended to be agents who could facilitate sponsorship certificates to travel to the United Kingdom have appeared in court for allegedly fleecing US$36000 from desperate nurse aides.
Alexander Dhliwayo and Boniface Jana appeared before Harare magistrate Mr Dennis Mangosi charged with fraud and remanded on $70 000 bail each to May 11.

It is the State’s case that sometime in September last year at the Harare offices of Karigamombe Nurse and Nourish, Dhliwayo and Jana misrepresented to Kennedy Ndambakuwa that they were capable of processing certificates of sponsorship for 18 students who wanted to go to the United Kingdom for nursing employment.

They knew that they did not have the capacity to process the wanted certificates of sponsorship and yet still accepted the US$36 000 payment.

Upon realising that nothing was materialising, Mr Ndambakuwa filed a police report leading to the arrest of the two. -state media

Public transport operators and traders must accept $20 notes as they are legal tender and failure to accept legal tender in transactions is outside the law, the Finance Ministry warned this week.
Some public transport operators and informal traders in the capital are no longer accepting the $20 notes as legal tender, months after they also rejected $10 and $5 notes, effectively taking them out of circulation.

The rebuff has left travellers stranded as many kombi operators and tuckshop owners are not accepting the $20 notes, only $50 and $100 notes.

Supermarkets and other big furniture shops are accepting all local notes in circulation including $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 notes.

However, Government yesterday said the rejection of local bank notes was illegal and the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe would inquire into the matter.

“The rejection of bond notes is illegal and we will do an inquiry with the RBZ. The $20 notes are legal tender and no one has reason to refuse the currency,” said chief director of communications and advocacy in the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development Mr Clive Mphambela.

Transport associations also blasted operators who are rejecting notes, saying urgent action will be taken against those refusing to accept the bond notes.

Zimbabwe Passenger Transporters Organisation chairman Dr Sam Nanhanga said it was an offence for public transporters to refuse bond notes.

“As long as it is legal tender we accept it. We also accept all forms of payment be it in local currency or foreign currency,” he said.

Mr Ngoni Katsvairo, the Greater Harare Association of Commuter Omnibus Operators secretary-general echoed the same sentiments, saying action would be taken against those who were not accepting local currency.

“As an association, we have not ordered any operator to reject bond notes. If the operators are rejecting local currency, the passengers must get the code inscribed at the back of the kombi and urgent action will be taken against the driver and the conductor and eventually the owner of the vehicle,” he said.

Zimbabwe Union of Drivers and Conductors president Mr Frederick Maguramhinga concurred with his counterparts and said: “To be honest, we do not allow what is not allowed by the Government, that is to reject the legal tender of this country.”

“This is our policy and we are we do not allow any driver or conductor to refuse the bond notes. We are accepting every form of payment and we are not selecting the types of notes to be paid.

“If the passengers see any of our members refuse to collect the $20 notes, they should call us and proper action will be taken against the driver or the operator of the kombi,” Mr Maguramhinga said.

Passengers have also raised an outcry over the rejection of the $20 notes saying it has greatly affected their transport from their homes to the city centre and back.

They have urged Government to act against informal businesses that were rejecting $20 notes, a situation that is now adding pressure on the cash crisis.

Miss Nyaradzo Chibukwa from Warren Park said Government should intervene and resolve the situation as bond notes were legal tender.

“What the conductors are doing is not fair because we would have received the money from the bank in $20 notes so they have no right to refuse the money. They are saying the money is not accepted in the tuckshops in the downtown of the city centre so they cannot accept the money. Police should arrest them because it is legal tender and no one should refuse it,” she said.

Mr Bornwise Jacha from Tynwald had no kind words for the public transport operators and calls for the banning of kombis on the road.

“I think Government has made a good move when they banned kombis during the lockdown period. These people are not human because how can a driver or a conductor refuse to accept $20 notes? Where do they think we can get the money from? This is totally absurd,” Mr Jacha said. -state media

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 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.

Scores of passengers escaped with minor injuries when a truck side swiped a CAG bus along the Kariba-Makuti road earlier today.

Motorists driving out or approaching Kariba endured several hours of delays as the vehicles blocked the road near Kaburi.

Details on the cause of the accideaccit are still sketchy.

Will Emmerson Mnangagwa be replaced this time? The man has set March 18 for Zanu PF primary elections as the revolutionary party girds its loins ahead of this year’s elections leaving nothing to chance to ensure a resounding victory.
The President said that the primary elections would be held next week with the party’s commissariat department putting final touches to the guidelines and rules.

Already, the revolutionary party, which is eyeing five million votes, is in the voter mobilisation and cell verification process, which will give empirical evidence of its power base across the country, while guidelines for the primary elections, the yardstick for its internal democracy are at an advanced stage.

In his address to the 367th Session of the Politburo, which was also attended by deputy secretaries at the party’s headquarters yesterday, the President, who is Zanu PF First Secretary, said the members should gird themselves to work with structures in the “ongoing mobilisation, work towards the party’s thunderous victory in the upcoming 2023 Harmonised General Elections”.

The party manifesto is also being finalised as well as other critical aspects related to Zanu PF’s internal election road map.

The President also charged his troops who assumed the arduous responsibility of serving in the Politburo to “re-commit to tow the correct party line, uphold constitutionalism, ideology, internal democratic practices, as well as rules and procedures of the party.

“There is no room for personal, group, district or provincial self-serving interests. You are all now national leaders. We must never be found wanting.”

He said at the party’s administrative level, preparations for the holding of democratic primary elections should begin in earnest.

“We as Zanu PF, we will have our internal primary elections from next week. Equally, all provinces are directed to constitute themselves in readiness for responsive grassroots-based mobilisation campaigns ahead of the Harmonised General Elections. Provinces must further raise the requisite resources for campaigns at their level.

“Voter registration and grassroots-oriented mobilisation strategies centred at the cells and villages should continue. Nothing must be left to chance,” the President said.

Elections, the President added, offer Zimbabweans, who were liberated by united ZANU and ZAPU, ZANLA and ZIPRA, the opportunity to reject neo-colonialists and their local lackeys.

“I commend you all for the ongoing cell verification exercise undertaken across provinces. Organising our people to exercise their sacred right to vote for the defence of constitutionalism, our independence, freedom, and

sovereignty, democracy is everyone’s responsibility. United as ZANU and ZAPU, ZANLA and ZIPRA, we waged a protracted armed war so that our people can enjoy free, fair and transparent elections. We will defend this right from all neo-colonial threats.

“We are aware of the nefarious machinations to attack and discredit our national institutions. As the people of Zimbabwe, let us remain vigilant and not allow ourselves to be hoodwinked by entities who are against the progress, economic growth, peace and unity of our country,” he said.

Oiling the behemoth party, whose people-tailored policies have found resonance across the country, attracting new members, some of whom were in leadership positions in the opposition, and numerous affiliate organisations, the President said resources will be availed appropriately to ensure a resounding victory.

“All the wings of the party, along with affiliate organisations, will be supported in their political mobilisation programmes based on clear programmes and activities. Our revolutionary mass party knows no other place in politics besides victory, development and success. Zanu PF is geared and ready to mount an electric, thunderous and scientific, people-centred campaign. We are ready for victory. Victory is certain!

“2022 saw the establishment and growth of affiliate organisations. The allegiance, loyalty and patriotism demonstrated by this emerging new crop of cadres are undoubtedly complementing the work of party leagues. The multiplier effects of the affiliate organisations must be harnessed for the growth and modernisation of our party.

“To maintain this momentum, it is also our collective — the Politburo, leagues and departments of the party — to handhold and nurture new responsibility as members. They must have a deeper grasp of the party’s ideology, constitution, values, rules, procedures and principles. Equally, the returnees’ Dzokai Kumusha, Buyani ekhaya Programme, should be promoted and new members must be welcomed as well as fully integrated across all structures” he said.

Turning to the economy, the President said the Politburo must be ever mindful that economic growth is paramount, and that agriculture production and productivity should be accompanied by modernisation and mechanisation, based on the fact that the land reform is irreversible.

He warned some meddlesome countries against owning large tracts of land by way of carbon credits.

“Our communities are the rightful custodians of the land, flora fauna, hence matters related to environmental management and conservation including social development should benefit the people of our country.

“NGOs must be transparent and accountable in all their activities. We cannot have unknown and faceless Western-owned entities and NGOs, benefiting from our natural resources by way of carbon credits, in some cases with close to 1 million hectares of land in a single province, purportedly under their purview.

“As we move towards Vision 2030, our country is evolving, modernising and industrialising. The responsible departments and the Youth League must, therefore, competently promote initiatives and synergies riding on science, technology and innovation, as primary driving forces for development.”

Under President Mnangagwa every corner of the country is witnessing tremendous development that leaves no one and no place behind and this will be maintained going into the future

“Your responsibility is weighty and must be undertaken with integrity, honesty, unwavering loyalty and patriotism. As we undertake our political work, let us carry the message of hope, peace, unity, love and harmony. We say no to violence. We must be ready and vigilant to confront all the machinations from our detractors head-on.”

Before the start of the Politburo, a moment of silence was observed to remember national heroes who passed on recently, namely the late Cde Betty Flora Mutero, Brigadier General (Rtd) Epmarcus Walter Kanhanga and Dr Christopher Chindoti Mushohwe. -state media

Agony, grief, pain, anguish, sadness and anger aptly describe how the Saudan family in Bulawayo is feeling following the death of their 15-year-old son Jayden who committed suicide after complaining of bullying at his school.
Jayden who was a Form Three pupil at Hamilton High School in Bulawayo, drank a pesticide last Thursday at his family home in Montrose suburb. He succumbed to the poison the following day at the United Bulawayo Hospitals (UBH) where he had been admitted.

Bulawayo provincial police spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube said investigations are underway.

“We received the report about the death of the learner from Hamilton High School and we are conducting investigations on the matter,” said Inspector Ncube.

Jayden lived with his grandmother Mrs Sarah Saudan and his siblings Jada and Jody. His father is based in the United Kingdom.

A funeral service was held yesterday at Christ the King Parish where Jayden was an altar server according to the family. His body will be cremated today at the West Park Crematorium. This latest incident comes barely a month after another Hamilton High School learner fatally stabbed a Founders High School pupil, Wayne Ndlovu (16).

Wayne was pronounced dead upon arrival at the United Bulawayo Hospitals (UBH). Two boys from Hamilton High School were arrested in connection with Wayne’s death and one of them has since appeared in court facing murder charges. The learner’s death was a culmination of a series of turf wars pitting pupils from various schools in the city.

A news crew yesterday afternoon visited the Saudan family at their home shortly after their arrival from a private service.

It was a sombre atmosphere as mourners, mostly youths relived the memories they shared with Jayden.

The deceased was described as a quiet person, a budding long-distance runner at Hamilton High School who aspired to be a pilot and loved his grandmother.

His sister, Miss Jody Saudan said since the beginning of the year, Jayden had started isolating himself. She said Jayden no longer wanted to go to school because his friend Richard, who they believe was protecting him from bullies at school had left after completing high school.

Miss Sudan said when Jayden opened up two weeks ago, it was after school authorities reportedly seized some of his stuff as a way of trying to force him to cut his hair.

“Jayden dyed his hair black at the beginning of the school term and the school authorities did not say anything about it when he was representing the school at an inter-school athletics competition,” she said.

“Jayden took long to tell us what was happening until the senior master took his satchel, blazer, tie, watch and phone about two weeks ago saying he must cut his hair.”

Miss Saudan said although Jayden complied and cut his hair, school authorities were not satisfied.

She said Jayden later opened up and told her about the bullying that allegedly bordered on racial slurs.

“He told us that he was being bullied by the prefects and was not getting any protection from teachers. My brother said he was being called racist names because of the colour of his skin,” said Miss Saudan.

She said the day his brother committed suicide will forever be etched in her mind.

“This was the day Jayden drank poison in the bathroom after returning from school. When I spoke to him outside the house under a mango tree, he seemed fine but he said he didn’t want me to share anything about the issues at school,” said Miss Saudan.

She said she could smell something like burnt rubber and I thought he had smoked something in the bathroom.

“I smelt the same thing on his clothes,” said Miss Saudan.

She said she asked her brother but he refused to talk before he went to lie down on his bed.

Miss Saudan said their maid alerted them after she found Jayden lying on his bed with his eyes rolling back into their sockets.

“Froth was coming out of his mouth and we didn’t know what he had taken. We searched the house after calling the ambulance. Our aunt found a pesticide container thrown in the dustbin,” said Miss Saudan.

Her sibling Jada said when they visited Jayden last Thursday night at UBH, he was looking fine.

“I went to visit him during which we spoke to each other and I even promised to play him voice notes of support from the family the following day. Sadly, about 30 minutes after we left the hospital, we received the news that he had passed on,” said Jada.

Jayden’s distraught grandmother, Mrs Sarah Saudan, who took care of the deceased and his siblings following the death of their mother in 2013, was at a loss for words.

“I’m drained and I can’t say anything about my grandchild. I’m devastated about his death. Jayden was quiet and never complained about anything,” she said between sobs.

Contrary to rumours that Jayden stole money from her grandmother, Mrs Saudan said she actually gave her grandson US$30 to buy files for Continuous Assessment Learning Activity (CALA) and pocket money.

The deceased’s aunt, Ms Corene Saudan said she felt disappointed and livid that her nephew had to endure bullying at the school which resulted in him committing suicide.

“We should make kids understand that they are going to school to learn not to engage in fights. When children go to school, teachers automatically assume the role of parents,” she said.

Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Dr Evelyn Ndlovu told Zimpapers Television Network (ZTN) that the ministry is investigating the matter.- state media

Insiza District youths who participated in a football tournament meant to encourage young people to register to vote in this year’s elections have been empowered with 84 cows worth US$30 000.

The cows were bought using the US$60 000 that Insiza North legislator Farai Taruvinga donated to Insiza Grassroots Sports Development (IGSD) as part of a youth empowerment programme. IGSD then decided to use football as a tool to promote voter registration in the district as well as help arrest social ills among young people.

Speaking on behalf of Minister of Youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation Kirsty Coventry, Chief Director in the Ministry, Benson Dube applauded Taruvinga for creating generational wealth for young people, adding that the gesture is in line with the fight against drugs and substance abuse.

“This (giving out cows) is a good gesture by the local Member of Parliament (Taruvinga), especially looking at his stance against drugs and substance abuse. He is targeting the youths who are the real targets of these drugs and substance abuse. So, really giving them something that is tangible, something that will occupy them. Right now after getting these cattle, they’re able to spend most of their time looking after them and that will prevent them from getting indulgent in drug and substance abuse,” said Dube.

Winners of the tournament which ran between September and December last year were Ward 12 who beat Ward 7 5-1 in the final. Ward 12 will get their 27 Brahmans on Sunday, March 12, with each member of the squad getting one beast.

Cows which were delivered at yesterday’s ceremony held at Filabusi Centre were the 17 belonging to losing finalists Ward 7 and third placed Ward 4 who got 12 cattle.

Chief Maduna also got a Brahman for being the “Top fan” as he attended all the games.

Fourth placed Ward 16 who won 10 cows, teams that finished fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth are due to get four cows each have been shown their cattle which are under quarantine and will get them once the veterinary services clears their zones.

The players from other teams are set to share at a later stage.

Taruvinga challenged the beneficiaries to guard their Brahmans “jealously” and make sure that they grow their herd.

“This is a startup and our young people deserve to be given startups as part of empowerment. Our President Mnangagwa has spoken a number of times about Zimbabwe being built by its people and we’re simply heeding to the country’s Number One citizen’s calls.

“Also, with the team I had, we thought deeply that since we’re facing a scourge of drugs and substance abuse among young people, what better way can we reward them and keep them busy after playing the tournament? So giving them these Brahmans was the best as it kills so many birds with one stone, fighting drugs and creating generational wealth,” Taruvinga said.

Thulani Sibanda, IGSD chairperson said they used part of the US$60 000 for capacity development initiatives as well as revamping Filabusi Country Club.

“What we’re planning is to have the youths competing throughout the year as we continue to empower youths economically.

“Besides these cows, we used part of the sponsorship to hold an administrators’ workshop for 77 sports administrators and 23 councillors for all wards. We had 44 referees being trained as we dream to have these competitions annually.

“Because we want to introduce other disciplines in future, eight boxing coaches were trained using the same funds and also rehabilitated grounds at all wards,” said Sibanda.

Meanwhile, boxers from Matabeleland South, amateur pugilists Sithandweyinkosi Moyo and Thabani Gumbi as well as professional fighter Lloyd Mujibilikwa gave an exhibition, doing pad works and sparring.

Last year, 18-year-old Moyo missed out on representing Zimbabwe at the Africa Union Sports Council Region 5 Under-20 Games after getting her passport late. She is regarded as one of the country’s brightest boxing prospects. -state media

State Media – When Desire Moyo (28) caught his co-tenant Tendai Govere (22) sitting on his bed in his bedroom with his wife he allegedly assaulted him before he inserted a sex toy into his behind.
For his uncouth actions Desire appeared before Bulawayo regional magistrate Dambudzo Malunga facing two counts of assault and aggravated indecent assault.

He pleaded not guilty to both counts and was remanded in custody to Tuesday next week for trial.

It is reported that Desire’s wife Patience Ncube repeatedly phoned Govere while requesting him to visit her at her room.

The court heard that at first Govere was reluctant, but he finally visited her in the evening since Desire was not around.

It is said when he got inside Patience called him into the bedroom and told him to sit on the bed. But things quickly went nasty when Desire unexpectedly arrived. He allegedly started assaulting him with a leather belt and fists all over the body.

It is alleged that Desire who was seething with anger handcuffed him and continued to assault him.

Govere bled profusely as a result of the attack. Desire took the torture to another level when he allegedly removed Govere’s pair of trousers and inserted a sex toy repeatedly into his rear for two hours.

It is said while he was inserting the sex toy into his behind, he recorded a video of the brutal abuse.

Govere was rescued by his other co-tenants who phoned Khumalo Police Station and police officers swiftly reacted and arrested Desire.Constance Mathaba represented the State. -state media

In a shocking incident, a nine-year-old girl in Bulawayo sustained a fractured arm, leg and a swollen face after escaping from the clutches of her kidnapper by jumping out of a speeding vehicle.

The heroic child and her guardian boarded a Nissan Probox from her school which is situated in Famona suburb heading to the city centre.

A source said: “The unsuspecting woman alighted from the car first believing that the child was following her but to her utter shock when she turned back to check the child she saw the car speeding off with her.”

The woman was left at a loss for words.

“I didn’t know what to do as I watched the car speeding. I tried to run after it but I could not. I was left speechless and worried that maybe the kidnapper had taken my child to kill her,” she said.

While the car was speeding, the child threw her satchel out of the window and when it reduced speed she bolted out of the car.

“She opened the door and jumped out of the car. Unfortunately her left foot got trapped and she was dragged for a few metres.

She later managed to pull out her leg,” said the source.

The brave child sustained a fractured arm, leg and a swollen face.

The incident was reported to the police. Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube confirmed the incident and appealed for information that could lead to the arrest of the kidnapper.

“Anyone with information which could lead to the whereabouts of the driver of the Nissan Probox registration number AFW 1740 should phone any nearest police station or call us on 029-60358,” he said. -state media

State Media – A Sakubva man died after he fell off from the fourth floor of Matida Flats while wrestling with his married lover’s husband early Sunday morning.
It is alleged that Tawanda Chirenje (25) had caught the now deceased Gift Saungweme (40) in a compromising position with his estranged wife, Phillipa Dariyani (25), in a friend’s apartment.

Manicaland provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Nobert Muzondo confirmed that the police are on the hunt for Chirenje who took the law into his own hands and pushed Saungweme off a fourth floor window at Matida Hostel as they wrestled.

“Chirenje had caught Dariyani drinking beer with Saungweme in a friend’s apartment. He assaulted her with the flat side of a machete, booted feet and fists and proceeded to assault Saungweme.

“They wrestled towards an open window and as they wrestled, Saungweme fell off the window from the fourth floor. He sustained head injuries and died on Monday morning.

“We are treating the matter as a murder incident as the circumstances are all pointing that way. As the police, we urge people not to take the law into their own hands and not to use violence when such matters arise,” said Inspector Muzondo.

When The Manica Post visited the scene on Monday, Dariyani’s friends revealed that she is a sex worker who had offered her services to the now deceased, with her husband catching them red handed.

During our visit to Matida Hostels, we leant that Dariyami had just been picked by the police for questioning while Chirenje was reported to have disappeared shortly after Saungweme’s fall from the building.

In an interview with The Manica Post, Dariyami’s friend, Shallon Maisera, in whose apartment the two lovebirds were caught red handed, said she had been drinking with Dariyami and Saungweme at the bar that night before they decided to go to her apartment.

“I offered them my apartment because her children were sleeping in her apartment, which is on the third floor. The three of us had been drinking in my apartment when Saungweme sent me to buy more beer and it was already past midnight.

“When I came back, I was shocked to find Chirenje inside my apartment with the lovebirds. Dariyani was crying and begging for Chirenje to forgive her. I knocked and Chirenje opened the door for me.

“He told me that he had caught the two in bed and that he wanted to kill them. I tried to stop him but he pushed and locked me outside. Shortly afterwards, he came out and told me that Saungweme had jumped off the window. He then walked away after that,” said Maisera.

She said Dariyami was assaulted all over her body with the machete.

Maisera said when they rushed downstairs, Saungweme who was still alive but badly injured asked for some water.

“I asked him if he had been pushed off the window or if he had jumped but he kept saying ‘pakaipa’ so we rushed him to the hospital where he died later on,” she said.

Dariyani’s other friend, Memory Chaipa said Dariyani and Chirenje’s relationship was strained due to Chirenje’s violent nature.

“Chirenje is negligent and violent, which is why Dariyani joined us in sex work. She wanted to take care of her five children but Chirenje who is an illegal gold panner would not understand this. He has one child with her but he does not look after that child,” said Chaipa.

The friends also confronted each other on who could have alerted Chirenje that Dariyani was with Saungweme.

They accused Maisera, who however avidly refused being the informer.

“We heard that it was you Maisera who called Chirenje because you wanted him to yourself as he had some money, so please tell us the truth. Why did he show up at the time that you had gone to the bar? Please be open with us and state the truth?” asked Chaipa.

However, Maisera insisted that she had nothing to do with it.

“I honestly do not know how everything took place. I was at the bar buying beers, I did not call Chirenje. Why would I do that when Dariyani is my best friend? I was also shocked to find Chirenje in my home. I am dealing with severe trauma right now because the man jumped from my apartment, I fear that his ghost will haunt me when I did nothing wrong,” she defended herself.

Prior to The Manica Post’s arrival at Matida Flats, the Saungweme family had been at the scene to conduct some rituals.

“Saungweme’s parents were here this morning. They took some blood-stained soil from where he fell and conducted some rituals. The mother ordered her dead son to revenge those that caused his death.

“It was scary, she asked the residents for a hoe so that she could dig the soil that she wanted but no one came forward. So she threatened that she would leave the blood as it was and that the whole Matida Hostel would be uninhabitable due to her son’s ghost, that is when people rushed to look for a hoe for her,” said Chaipa.

At the place where Saungweme landed was some snuff that had been sprinkled by his mother and some other strange objects.- Manica Post

PRESIDENT Mnangagwa is going to have a landslide victory in the upcoming harmonised elections and the results are going to irk the opposition and their partners into fomenting anarchy in the country, popular South African-based televangelist Jay Israel has said.

Although there is nothing out-rightly new in the election victory prediction for President Mnangagwa with New York-headquartered global ratings firm Fitch Solutions last week predicting a resounding win for President Mnangagwa, Prophet Israel, however, prophesied disharmony in the opposition camp that will lead to factions in the period just before the elections.

Zanu-PF has been working hard, building its cells and has engaged in a cell verification process while some from within the opposition have started defecting to the ruling party citing disorganisation in the opposition ranks.

“I have a message to the nation of Zimbabwe. I have received a prophecy about the upcoming election. The message is clear, President Emmerson Mnangagwa is going to win the next elections resoundingly. And let me hasten to say any prophet who is going to prophecy today that the opposition will win the elections, that person should be dismissed as a liar. God has already blessed President Mnangagwa with another term in office. I have also been shown that as we head towards elections there will be serious friction within the opposition led by Nelson Chamisa. Disagreements over a number of issues will arise which will lead to a near split. Due to the internal friction some opposition members will join the ruling party before and after elections,” he said.

The popular prophet has put his head on the block emphasising that, “if President Mnangagwa does not win the presidential elections, it means I am a liar and they must come and cut off my head.”

The 30-year-old Bulawayo-born charismatic preacher said he was coming to Zimbabwe where he plans to set up base in his home town.

“I am bringing a very serious revolution, not just a revival, it’s a revolution to Zimbabwe, especially Bulawayo because it has been left behind for a long time. There is a lot that I am going to do. There is a lot that Zimbabwe must prepare for. This is going to be like a tsunami. Many people are going to flock from different places, just coming to Bulawayo. Meaning to say traffic is going to increase. We are going to give business to hotels and the transport industry including airlines,” he said.

He added that he was also planning to revive the Bulawayo music industry.

“I am planning to set up a Jay Israel Records that is going to cater for all the Bulawayo musicians. I am going to sign them and record them for free,” he said.

Born and bred in Bulawayo, Israel dropped out of school owing to financial challenges when he was in Form Two at Pumula High School. At 18 years old, he moved to Harare where he later formed his own church, Palace of Glory, becoming the youngest church leader in the country. In 2014, he relocated to South Africa where he has been leading the Spirit Life Church.
