Gun Wielding Armed Robber Pounces On Nurse Pleasuring Boyfriend In A Bush

A 21-year-old nurse at Masvingo General Hospital was raped by a suspected armed robber who caught her in the act her being intimate with her boyfriend in a car in a bushy area next to TelOne offices on the eastern fringes of the city.

The unidentified suspect, who was armed with a pistol, tied the 42-year-old boyfriend’s hands and feet with cellphone charger cables and left him naked in the car while the nurse was dragged to a bushy area and raped on Monday.

Police say the boyfriend managed to loosen the cables and went to a nearby building manned by security guards where he raised alarm.  He was assisted to make a police report at Masvingo Central Police Station.

Provincial police spokesperson Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa said the suspect got away with three cellphones, a laptop and US$20 from the lovebirds before sneaking and disappearing into the bush.

He said police have launched a manhunt for the suspect.

“The suspect, who was armed with a pistol, approached the lovebirds while they were having a nice time before smashing one of the windows and pointing a firearm at them and threatened to shoot if they tried to resist,” said Inspector Dhewa.

The suspect forcibly took two Samsung cellphones from the boyfriend and a G-Tel phone from the girlfriend. The suspect also took US$20 from the boyfriend.

When the woman returned to the car after being raped, she found it abandoned and walked to Masvingo Central Police Station to file a report where she met the boyfriend also making his own report.

Inspector Dhewa warned residents against turning secluded and dark spots into love nests as they risked being pounced on by criminals.

Cornered State Witness Admits Govt Has No Case Against Sikhala

A STATE witness in the trial of Zengeza West MP Job Sikhala yesterday said the charge he was facing of inciting people to commit public violence in a video clip published in 2020 was based on assumptions that he was the one addressing viewers of the video.

Police officer commanding law and order Edmore Runganga told the court that they did not authenticate the video clip.

Prosecutor Tendai Shonhai had asked the witness to explain how Sikhala was charged without authenticating the audio and video clips submitted in court as exhibits.

Runganga said in the audio, Sikhala is heard saying the police were hunting for him, which was a fact on the ground.

He said it gave them confidence that it was him speaking.

Runganga was the third State witness to testify in the matter and the State said it intends to call another witness on Monday for trial continuation.

On Monday this week, the court viewed Sikhala’s alleged video clip which was filmed while he reportedly committed the offence.

Sikhala is facing other charges that include obstructing the course of justice and inciting the public to commit public violence in a case that has seen him clock close to seven months in remand prison.

Eight Dominican Convent Pupils Sent Packing Over Drug Abuse

By A Correspondent| Harare upmarket school, Dominican Convent has expelled eight pupils for drug abuse during an Upper Six trip to Nyanga early this month.

In a letter to parents, the school said the eight students were found guilty of violating the school drug policy.

“I write on a sad note to notify you that 8 girls we had put on suspension pending investigations on an incident that took place at the 2023 U6 leadership camp which was held in Nyanga from the 12th to the 15th of January, have been excluded from the school with immediate effect,” said Sister Kudzai Mutsure.

She urged parents of the expelled girls to take their kids for rehabilitation their children to modify their inappropriate behavior.

I pray that the girls will receive the rehabilitation they need and that all parents take an active role, in partnership with the school to modify the inappropriate behavior of their children.

She also lashed at parents for hampering the school efforts to protect children from the dangers of substance abuse due to denial.

“I believe that school officials’ efforts to protect students from the dangers of substance abuse are sometimes hampered by parents and community members in denial about pervasiveness of the problem and the potential for any child to succumb to the lures of drugs,” added Sister Mutsure.

Zanu PF Near To Winning 2023- Mavaza

BY DR MASIMBA MAVAZA | With polling time right around the corner, we must take a look at the things achieved by each party this election year.
In an election year battered by the Covid-19 pandemic, the subsequent economic recession, and the fight against corruption brands are taking it upon themselves to use their influence to get the voting in July.
Past election statistics have shown that many Zimbabweans don‘t make use of their vote, particularly the younger generations. In the 2018 presidential elections, less than half of 18-29 year olds didn’t vote.
Joining forces from across the sectors, brands in the technology, retail and entertainment realms are hoping to encourage eligible voters to make their voices heard in the upcoming Zimbabwean elections.
Strategies vary from parties creating everything from voting merchandise, to campaigns encouraging the general public to go out and vote.
ln the coming elections People must be concerned about misleading campaign techniques from the opposition and bias in the opposition media. We must be very careful about the presentation, tone and content of election campaigns by the opposition. They demonise their country blaming ZANU PF for all the problems the country is facing.

As Zimbabweans we must monitor digital campaigning during the election period for risks to democratic processes from foreign interference and organised disinformation. The work to examine these aspects must be ongoing after the election.
CCC has made poverty and economic dip as their campaign topic. The misleading campaign techniques risk undermining voters trust.
Democracies rely on campaigners being able to communicate with voters. In return, voters need to be able to trust the information that campaigners are giving them.
The whole world is under economic depression the economic problems are being faced by every nation on earth. It is mischievous and total idiocy for CCC to use the economic meltdown as their campaign theme.
Zimbabwe is not suffering as a result of misrule or mismanagement as always said by the opposition. Promising you a Canaan is misleading. A promise to give you milk and honey if you vote opposition is a clear lie demonic and misleading. Do not be mislead by being promised heaven by the devil. Zimbabwe is set for greater days if it remains under MNANGAGWA.
You must always remember that with ZANU PF “You’ll Never Walk Alone’
Through trials and triumphs, ZANU PF has been there to mark these moments with the possibility of hope and the shared optimism of brighter days.
We must all be focused be brave we must wear a survival kit
to make the wait a little more comfortable ahead of the presidential elections.
The road to the State House is long, expensive, and exhausting. Becoming a candidate is only the beginning of the election process. Successful candidates must both persuade voters that they deserve their individual votes and garner the critical votes of electors. Those campaigning must not make people get confused. We must stand for the truth and protect our freedom which came flowing in the flood of blood of our children parents and brothers and sisters.
Persuading voters is the essence of a political campaign. Advertising, theme songs, stump speeches, and even negative campaigning have been around since our country began, enjoying freedom to vote brought by ZANU PF and each advance in technology since then has offered new opportunities for candidates to persuade voters.
Would the figures of
Colonialism and oppression sway a modern voter?
A review of the evidence leaves no doubt election campaigns do matter in a variety of important ways. The serious questions concern when, where, why, how, for what, and for whom they matter.
As we go towards the elections Some opposition campaigners will brand their social media pages in ways that meant it wasn’t clear who was responsible for them, or used misleading website links to encourage people to visit their sites. Some will use edited video clips to present their opponents negatively. This negativity goes beyond elections.
The country will be painted with disgusting negativity. It will suffer long after elections.

Lying to voters should not be tolerated we must make our campaigns truthful.
The opposition has no capacity to turn our economy round. Their campaign is a lie an you must not vote based on a lie. Be wise vote wisely. Vote ZANU PF.

Lady Of The Night Punished Over Client’s Crime

A Harare sex-worker who was caught in a dragnet arrest has  been freed after languishing in prison for two days  over her client’s offence.

Rutendo Hwata (31) was granted bail following a successful application before a Harare magistrate, Dennis Mangosi who ruled that facts presented to him so far exonerates her.

Hwata was arrested together with her client, Elton Takaruza (39) who sought refugee at her house after committing robberies around Harare.

Takaruza pleaded guilty to armed robbery charges and unlawful possession of firearms charges.

Court heard he was nabbed in possession of a pistol with four spent cartridges.

The two will be back in court on February 13 as now await  ballistics reports.

Hwata was granted ZW$20 000 bail.

In granting her bail, the magistrate urged to search her clients first in future before accommodating them to avoid such arrests.

The Investigating Officer Nyarai Risinamwana  had told court that Hwata was shocked to learn that her client had a pistol hidden under her bed mattress.

“After committing the offence in a space of two days Takaruza fled to Kuwadzana, where he hooked up with accused number two (Hwata) and hid his pistol under her mattress without her knowledge.

“She was shocked when the pistol was recovered from her residence,” said Risinamwana.

According to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), Takaruza used the recovered pistol to commit four counts of  armed robbery.

Takaruza targeted vendors and bulk airtime sellers.

Court heard on January 23, Takaruza fled his place of residence in Chitungwiza after committing four robberies and sought refuge at Hwata’s house in Kuwadzana.

It is also alleged that Takaruza was previously arrested by Warren Park Homicide police after he hit a pedestrian with his  friend’s car in Warren Park

Eswatini Govt Warns Social Media Users Against Insinuating King Mswati Killed Thulani Maseko

Government spokesperson Alpheous Nxumalo warned against the “speculation and insinuation” on social media platforms.  

In a public statement released on Sunday, Nxumalo said the government disassociated itself and the country’s authorities from the murder.

“Such speculations are dangerous as they hamper investigations and take the attention away from the real criminals,” said Nxumalo. 

The secretary general of the Law Society of Swaziland, Charity Simelane, said there had been a dark cloud over the country’s legal profession since the killing of Maseko. 

“We are truly saddened. The law society has lost an icon, a pioneer in his field [who was also] its former secretary general from 2018 to 2021. We have lost a true and dedicated defender of human rights and the rule of law. The loss of Thulani Rudolf Maseko has left a huge void and massive shoes to fill within the legal fraternity.”

Former South African public protector Thuli Madonsela said the killing of Maseko had shocked the human rights community to its core. 

“For us in South Africa, this has similarities with the killing of Bheki Langa by apartheid dark forces. Whether authorised or not authorised by the powers that be, all indications are that this is an assassination and not a random crime,” said Madonsela, who holds the chair in Social Justice at Stellenbosch University.  

“If it’s true that it is an assassination then it is logical to conclude that his only crime [was] to help the people of Eswatini to resist oppression and repression and demand democracy and social justice.”

Maseko was killed less than six hours after King Mswati, eSwatini’s absolute monarch, threatened to “deal with those calling for democracy”. The king was addressing his regiments at eNgabezweni Palace when he made the comment. 

Mswati’s spokesperson, Percy Simelane said that at this early stage, it was difficult to know who shot Maseko. 

“With intelligence still missing, we find it very difficult to know who exactly killed lawyer Thulani Maseko and why. Police are still investigating and we believe in the end the truth will prevail. 

“At the moment, the information highway is jammed with speculation and insinuation on which we cannot professionally base our argument. We elect to wait for intelligence to be available,” said Simelane. 

On Sunday, the European Union spokesperson for foreign affairs and security policy,  Nabila Massrali, released a statement condemning the assassination of Maseko and called for urgent political dialogue to restore peace and stability in the volatile kingdom.

“Since June 2021, the EU, as a long-standing and reliable partner of the country, has followed with grave concern the situation in eSwatini.

“The EU urges the authorities to launch comprehensive and inclusive dialogue as a matter of urgency and priority, on terms facilitated by [the Southern African Development Community], towards national reconciliation, respect for human rights and the rule of law and, ultimately, lasting peace,” reads the statement.

Accept Political Diversity, Be Tolerant To One Another: Madhuku

National Constitutional Assembly (NCA) leader Professor Lovemore Madhuku has urged Zimbabweans to accept political diversity and be tolerant to one another.

Speaking at a funeral of his relative in his Chipinge home town early this year, Madhuku urged people to accept political diversity.

“Political parties are like churches, you can be in Jeke Mission church where you dance in a particular way which your relative may not be able to imitate, lets be tolerant to that,” said Madhuku.

He further urged people to love one another regardless of different political choices

“We should love one another, despite supporting different political parties

“Supporting different political parties does not take away your relationship whether its your mother or father or sister, you remain relatives,” added Madhuku.

Meanwhile, commenting on Information Secretary Nick Mangwana’s Twitter post where he shared Madhuku’s video, social media users accused Zanu PF of being the stumbling block to political tolerance in the country.

“The problem lies in you guys and your philosophy of idiocy which makes you believe that violence is the only tool to address differences,” said Obey Sithole.

“You ask the question you know the answer to. Everyone including you yourself know that your party loves political fights. You guys beat up people in Murehwa just a few weeks ago. Why?,” said one Big O.

“A lesson to zanupf. They are the ones who do not tolerate CCC but has soft spots for their proxy small political parties. Other leaders’ political meetings are cleared by the police very quickly. When it comes to CCC it’s an uphill struggle to get clearance,” said TK.

“1987 Unity Accord Brought Peace!” Shut up! It brought Capitulation And The De facto Dictatorship.

By Wilbert Mukori- It is a matter of public record that Bishop Nehemiah Mutendi of Zion Christian Church (ZCC) is one of Zimbabwe’s many church leaders who have received farms, generous bank loans and many other benefits from the Zanu PF in return for his blind support of the corrupt and tyrannical regime. Bishop Mutendi must remember that Zanu PF propaganda is not historic fact and must never confuse the two. Never!

“Bishop Mutendi said unity among different ethnic groups in the country dates back to December 1987 when the late former President Robert Mugabe and the late Vice President Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo signed the Unity Accord which brought together PF-Zapu and Zanu (PF),” reported The Chronicle.

Correction! The 1983 to 1987 Gukurahundi massacre was about coercing Dr Joshua Nkomo and his PF Zapu supporters into giving up their democratic right to belong to a political party of their own choice and for the said party to contest for public office in free, fair and credible elections. Lest anyone should forget the 1979 Lancaster House constitution made Zimbabwe a multi-party democratic republic.

PF Zapu was, without doubt, Zanu PF’s main political opponent in post independent Zimbabwe.

So, after five long years of reign of terror and barbarism at the hands of state security services that left hundreds of thousands of mainly PF Zapu leaders and supporters beaten and maimed to say nothing of the destroyed properties and livelihoods and over 20 000 innocent civilians murdered in cold blood; PF Zapu finally buckled and signed the so called Unity Accord. It was PF Zapu capitulation, clearing the way for Zanu PF to impose the de facto one-party dictatorship which the regime has ruthless enforced under the pretext of unity, peace and development.    

“Let’s be careful of external forces who turn us against each other. As citizens, we should not allow individuals and organisations being sponsored by Western countries to divide us,” Bishop Mutendi told his audience in Gwanda.

“For us to develop our country, we must remain united and maintain peace. As a church, including leaders of the country, we should continue praying for our country.”

How naïve! Zimbabwe is a textbook failed state; a pariah state ruled by corrupt, incompetent and murderous thugs who rig elections to retain absolute power whilst the loot the nation blind. Four decades of gross mismanagement and rampant corruption have left the country in economic ruins, basic services such as education and health care have collapsed and 49% of our people now live in abject poverty.

Zanu PF is rigging the 2023 elections and, to be absolutely certain of victory, the regime will brazenly use wanton violence just as it did during Gukurahundi and the 2008 run-off.  

“We would like to thank Bishop Mutendi for the work that he is doing by moving around the country preaching peace and development. This is the kind of partnership that we need as Government,” Matabeleland South Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister, Abedinico Ncube, praised Bishop Mutendi.

“Church leaders play a crucial role in the community and we need them to change the mindset of the people and to bring everyone on board. As churches let’s continue to play our part in building society.”

The church and church leaders have always been the last line of defence, calling for peace, justice and rule of law, speaking truth to power, on behave of the oppressed and voiceless. Not so in Zimbabwe, the church leaders are Zanu PF political commissars spreading party propaganda from the pulpit for a share of the spoils of absolute power.

Church leaders praying for peace knowing all along that it is the Zanu PF regime; they are crediting for bringing peace, unity and development; whose insatiable greed for power and loot is the root cause of the country’s culture of political violence and tyranny, the economic meltdown and the tragic human suffering.

With Zimbabwe’s political, economic and political stability now at stake; we, Zimbabweans, own to ourselves and posterity to tell sell outs like Bishop Mutendi they are sell outs! Shut up! Church leaders like Bishop Mutendi are the pastors from hell!

Vincent Tsvangirai: United Opposition Can Challenge Zanu PF

LATE MDC-T leader, Morgan Tsvangirai’s son, Mr Vincent Tsvangirai, says there is no single opposition party in Zimbabwe with the capacity to defeat the ruling party, Zanu-PF, in the forthcoming elections.

As the country gears towards the harmonised elections this year, Mr Tsvangirai says the level of disintegration in the opposition ranks has condemned those parties to a straight defeat against the solid and strongly united ruling party.

This comes at a time when the revolutionary party, Zanu-PF, has consolidated it strength under President Mnangagwa with massive development successes amid prevailing peace and tranquility within its structures.

The ruling party has already set the political maturity pace as it held a successful congress last October where President Mnangagwa was unanimously elected party President and candidate for this year’s harmonised elections.

While the Douglas Mwonzora-led MDC-T claims to have held its elective congress last December, senior members of the party have dismissed this as a none event, resulting in chaos as members are challenging the legitimacy of the resolutions.

Last week, the party suspended seven senior members – former party vice president, Senator Elias Mudzuri, Mr Norest Marara, secretary for business and projects, Mr Gift Konjana, chairperson Mashonaland West province, Mr John Nyika, chairperson Masvingo province, Mr Den Moyo, chairperson USA province, Mr Edwin Dzambara, secretary for education and Mr Edwin Kakora a national executive member, over a litany of charges including allegations that they were working with unidentified elements deemed hostile to the party.

The crew has, however, rejected their censure saying they do not recognise the presidency of Sen Mwonzora as his election was not done in line with the party’s constitution.

On the other hand, Mr Nelson Chamisa’s Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) party still remains structureless and is yet to hold its inaugural congress.

Another opposition party, Zapu, led by Mr Sibangilizwe Nkomo, has never known peace since the death of national hero, Cde Dumiso Dabengwa.

In November last year, Mr Nkomo expelled five senior members, Mr Matthew Sibanda, Mr Ernest Ndlovu, Ms Mildred Mkandla, Mr Akim Nkala, and Dr Strike Mkandla on the grounds that they had chosen a path that would harm the party.

The five hit back and labeled Mr Nkomo an illegitimate leader of the party.

Reflecting on these in an exclusive interview with Chronicle, Mr Tsvangirai, a Glen View South House of Assembly representative under the MDC-T banner, said only a united opposition coalition may, perhaps, have a chance of challenging the revolutionary party, otherwise, it will all just be unnecessary noise.

He admitted that his own MDC-T was having serious fissures at the moment, which were not helpful to the organisation.

Mr Tsvangirai said even the imaginary popularity of the Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC) party would not propel it to the State House, adding that it was a far cry for anyone to think that its leader Mr Chamisa can land the presidency.

He also said he does not believe in the way Mr Chamisa leads his organisation, adding that if they were to meet, he will greet him like a brother but still be frank about his opinion of him.

Mr Tsvangirai said it was for such differences in political ideology that he was not part of CCC.

“I don’t have any personal differences with Mr Chamisa. I simply don’t believe in the way he leads. If we met today I would greet him as a brother but still be frank with my opinion of him, as I am with everyone,” he said.

“Honesty in this game gains you enemies, unfortunately.”

Who Killed Thulani Maseko ?

Tinashe Sambiri|The Citizens Coalition for Change( CCC) Namibia has accused King Mswati 111 of killing top Eswatini lawyer Thulani Maseko.

See below CCC Namibia statement on the death of Maseko.

Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) Namibia blasts King Mswati 111 for the brutal murder of the Lawyer & Human Rights Defender, Thulani Maseko!

23 January 2023

Citizens Coalition for Change Namibia is infuriated by the continued human butchery of lawyers, political activists, students, and human rights defenders in eSwatini since 2021. As a pro-democracy movement, we urge SADC, African Union, and the United Nations to investigate the callous murder of the renowned lawyer and human rights defender ,Thulani Maseko.

Thulani Maseko was just fighting for the advent of constitutional democracy in eSwatini. It is not a crime to clamor for a representative democracy where people are allowed to participate in the national discourse. The people of eSwatini are longing for democratic elections that will see monarchism sinking into oblivion. Namibia district encourages SADC to speak out in condemnation of this gross abuse of the universal fundamental human rights in eSwatini. May the revolutionary soul of Thulani Maseko rest in power.

This culture of dictatorship in Southern Africa must be resisted with equal measure. All progressive citizens in SADC countries should amplify their revolutionary voices against state repression. The ruthless monarchist is the one who sent his hitmen to decimate the life of our diligent lawyer and human rights defender because of his advocacy for constitutionalism as well as the rule of law.

In the recent week in Zimbabwe, we saw human rights defender Kudzai Kadzere brutally attacked by the captured Zimbabwe Republic Police(ZRP). Citizens Coalition for Change Namibia condemns both the Harare regime and Mswati’s monarchy for their behavior towards social democrats and human rights lawyers . Lawyer Kudzai Kadzere was left with broken arms in the course of representing the arbitrarily arrested CCC Budiriro 26 who include Hon Amos Chibaya, Hon Costa Machingauta, CLR Mukwada, Star from change radio, and others.

Progressive inhabitants of SADC should unite against these monsters who don’t respect the sanctity of life. Firing two bullets in the head of the lawyer is beyond satanism. We demand justice for Thulani Maseko. These assassins must be brought to book. Mswati and his ruthless counterpart in Zimbabwe should face the fury of social democrats. It is sad to inform the globe that Hon Job Saro Wiwa Sikhala is still caged at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison on trumped-up charges since 14 June 2022. Sikhala has endured incarceration for more than 7 months now for demanding justice for Moreblessing Ali who was abducted and later murdered in cold blood by a ZANU-PF thug, Pius Jamba.

The battle against lawyers must be thwarted in its infancy. Job Sikhala was arrested whilst representing the Ali family. He was both the family spokesperson and lawyer who led a successful search for Moreblessing Ali. We demand justice for all political prisoners. Rest in peace Thulani Maseko, your blood shall water the freedom tree. Maseko was shot in the presence of his wife and children after the King had given a stern warning to those who were advocating for the democratization of eSwatini.

I Am Strong: Wiwa

By Gift Ostallos Siziba

Today ( Tuesday), the 24th of January 2023, our Change Champion in Chief, Advocate Nelson Chamisa was at the Harare Magistrates’ Court (Rotten Row) to show solidarity with our change champions who are currently facing various trumped up charges.

The Change Champion met Honorable Job Sikhala who was at the court for the continuation of his trial in the alleged case of inciting public violence in 2020.

Hon Sikhala who has so far spent more than 223 days in jail without trial was in high spirit.

The Change Champion in Chief also conversed with the #Budiriro26 who were arrested 11 days ago for attending an internal meeting for our party at a private residence in Budiriro.

Their bail hearing continues at 2pm

We continue to celebrate our 1st Anniversary even under such circumstances knowing very well that victory is guaranteed in the upcoming elections.

We soldier on for we know nothing lasts forever and no amount of victimization and persecution will stop an idea whose time has come.

12 Months Of Yellow Revolution

Citizens Coalition for Change Namibia commemorates its 1st anniversary today!

24 January 2023

Citizens in Namibia who subscribe to the yellow revolution championed by the organic and pragmatic leader President Advocate Nelson Chamisa join the rest of the globe in the historic commemorations of the 1st anniversary of CCC since its inception on the 24th of January 2022.

Today is a special day for all change champions in Zimbabwe and the diaspora as we wish the people’s party a resounding victory against the politically inept ZANU-PF party.

On this particular day, the people’s party was announced to the patiently waiting citizens at Bronte Hotel after it was established on the 22nd of January 2022. The party was formed after heated squabbles arose over the party name “MDC Alliance”.

The diligent change champion-in-chief presented yellow as the new color and raised an index finger as the new symbol. After forming the vibrant and oversubscribed party, most MDC Alliance MPs and councilors who displayed absolute allegiance to President Chamisa were illegally recalled by the ZANU-PF-backed Douglas Mwonzora, who took over MDC Alliance.

By-elections were later called in the 28 seats which were conducted on 26 March 2022 in which the new baby (CCC) scooped 19 and the ZANU-PF party rigged 9 seats with over-ambitious Douglas Mwonzora harvesting zeros at most polling stations.

Weeks before the by-elections saw government-sponsored violence against CCC(including violence at a CCC rally in Kwekwe which led to the human butchery of Mboneni Ncube, unjustified behavior from the captured Zimbabwe Republic Police(ZRP) which include the banning of CCC rallies across the breadth and lengths of the motherland, beating up of innocent party supporters, arbitrary arrests of party officials such as Tendai Biti and Madzibaba veShanduko.

Change champions are quite cobra-headed on the continued spate of state-sponsored violence in the motherland targeted at CCC members. We have endured politically motivated violence at the hands of ZANU-PF thugs who continue with impunity. Our old-aged members are brutally assaulted and jailed without trial for long periods. Women are being stripped naked and sexually abused for belonging to the yellow train. There was violence in all rural areas visited by the political dynamo, President Advocate Nelson Chamisa.

Job Saro Wiwa Sikhala is still incarcerated since June 14 because he is the Vice Chairperson of this great movement.

14 others from Nyatsime including Hon Godfrey Karakadzayi Sithole endured more than 5 months at Chikurubi Maximum Prison on concocted charges. The movement lost Moreblessing Ali in Nyatsime, she was callously murdered for belonging to the change that delivers. We call upon all progressive citizens across the globe to amplify their voices clamoring for the immediate release of the Budiriro 26 and all prisoners of conscience.

The Senegal international was filmed at Munich’s Saebener Strasse training ground, saying: “Hey, it’s a great feeling, after a long holiday, to be back.”

Mane, who arrived last summer from Liverpool, will not be involved in Bayern’s game at home against Cologne later on Tuesday.- Soccer24 Zimbabwe

King Mswati Accused Of Killing Prominent Lawyer

Tinashe Sambiri|The Citizens Coalition for Change( CCC) Namibia has accused King Mswati 111 of killing top Eswatini lawyer Thulani Maseko.

See below CCC Namibia statement on the death of Maseko.

Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) Namibia blasts King Mswati 111 for the brutal murder of the Lawyer & Human Rights Defender, Thulani Maseko!

23 January 2023

Citizens Coalition for Change Namibia is infuriated by the continued human butchery of lawyers, political activists, students, and human rights defenders in eSwatini since 2021. As a pro-democracy movement, we urge SADC, African Union, and the United Nations to investigate the callous murder of the renowned lawyer and human rights defender ,Thulani Maseko.

Thulani Maseko was just fighting for the advent of constitutional democracy in eSwatini. It is not a crime to clamor for a representative democracy where people are allowed to participate in the national discourse. The people of eSwatini are longing for democratic elections that will see monarchism sinking into oblivion. Namibia district encourages SADC to speak out in condemnation of this gross abuse of the universal fundamental human rights in eSwatini. May the revolutionary soul of Thulani Maseko rest in power.

This culture of dictatorship in Southern Africa must be resisted with equal measure. All progressive citizens in SADC countries should amplify their revolutionary voices against state repression. The ruthless monarchist is the one who sent his hitmen to decimate the life of our diligent lawyer and human rights defender because of his advocacy for constitutionalism as well as the rule of law.

In the recent week in Zimbabwe, we saw human rights defender Kudzai Kadzere brutally attacked by the captured Zimbabwe Republic Police(ZRP). Citizens Coalition for Change Namibia condemns both the Harare regime and Mswati’s monarchy for their behavior towards social democrats and human rights lawyers . Lawyer Kudzai Kadzere was left with broken arms in the course of representing the arbitrarily arrested CCC Budiriro 26 who include Hon Amos Chibaya, Hon Costa Machingauta, CLR Mukwada, Star from change radio, and others.

Progressive inhabitants of SADC should unite against these monsters who don’t respect the sanctity of life. Firing two bullets in the head of the lawyer is beyond satanism. We demand justice for Thulani Maseko. These assassins must be brought to book. Mswati and his ruthless counterpart in Zimbabwe should face the fury of social democrats. It is sad to inform the globe that Hon Job Saro Wiwa Sikhala is still caged at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison on trumped-up charges since 14 June 2022. Sikhala has endured incarceration for more than 7 months now for demanding justice for Moreblessing Ali who was abducted and later murdered in cold blood by a ZANU-PF thug, Pius Jamba.

The battle against lawyers must be thwarted in its infancy. Job Sikhala was arrested whilst representing the Ali family. He was both the family spokesperson and lawyer who led a successful search for Moreblessing Ali. We demand justice for all political prisoners. Rest in peace Thulani Maseko, your blood shall water the freedom tree. Maseko was shot in the presence of his wife and children after the King had given a stern warning to those who were advocating for the democratization of eSwatini.

Vincent Tsvangirai Claims Mnangagwa Invincible

LATE MDC-T leader, Morgan Tsvangirai’s son, Mr Vincent Tsvangirai, says there is no single opposition party in Zimbabwe with the capacity to defeat the ruling party, Zanu-PF, in the forthcoming elections.

As the country gears towards the harmonised elections this year, Mr Tsvangirai says the level of disintegration in the opposition ranks has condemned those parties to a straight defeat against the solid and strongly united ruling party.

This comes at a time when the revolutionary party, Zanu-PF, has consolidated it strength under President Mnangagwa with massive development successes amid prevailing peace and tranquility within its structures.

The ruling party has already set the political maturity pace as it held a successful congress last October where President Mnangagwa was unanimously elected party President and candidate for this year’s harmonised elections.

While the Douglas Mwonzora-led MDC-T claims to have held its elective congress last December, senior members of the party have dismissed this as a none event, resulting in chaos as members are challenging the legitimacy of the resolutions.

Last week, the party suspended seven senior members – former party vice president, Senator Elias Mudzuri, Mr Norest Marara, secretary for business and projects, Mr Gift Konjana, chairperson Mashonaland West province, Mr John Nyika, chairperson Masvingo province, Mr Den Moyo, chairperson USA province, Mr Edwin Dzambara, secretary for education and Mr Edwin Kakora a national executive member, over a litany of charges including allegations that they were working with unidentified elements deemed hostile to the party.

The crew has, however, rejected their censure saying they do not recognise the presidency of Sen Mwonzora as his election was not done in line with the party’s constitution.

On the other hand, Mr Nelson Chamisa’s Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) party still remains structureless and is yet to hold its inaugural congress.

Another opposition party, Zapu, led by Mr Sibangilizwe Nkomo, has never known peace since the death of national hero, Cde Dumiso Dabengwa.

In November last year, Mr Nkomo expelled five senior members, Mr Matthew Sibanda, Mr Ernest Ndlovu, Ms Mildred Mkandla, Mr Akim Nkala, and Dr Strike Mkandla on the grounds that they had chosen a path that would harm the party.

The five hit back and labeled Mr Nkomo an illegitimate leader of the party.

Reflecting on these in an exclusive interview with Chronicle, Mr Tsvangirai, a Glen View South House of Assembly representative under the MDC-T banner, said only a united opposition coalition may, perhaps, have a chance of challenging the revolutionary party, otherwise, it will all just be unnecessary noise.

He admitted that his own MDC-T was having serious fissures at the moment, which were not helpful to the organisation.

Mr Tsvangirai said even the imaginary popularity of the Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC) party would not propel it to the State House, adding that it was a far cry for anyone to think that its leader Mr Chamisa can land the presidency.

He also said he does not believe in the way Mr Chamisa leads his organisation, adding that if they were to meet, he will greet him like a brother but still be frank about his opinion of him.

Mr Tsvangirai said it was for such differences in political ideology that he was not part of CCC.

“I don’t have any personal differences with Mr Chamisa. I simply don’t believe in the way he leads. If we met today I would greet him as a brother but still be frank with my opinion of him, as I am with everyone,” he said.

“Honesty in this game gains you enemies, unfortunately.”

Political Activist Sithole Fears For Own Safety

By Own Correspondent| Like many other young, educated Zimbabweans, Terrence Sithole wanted to work for the prosperity of Zimbabwe.

Sithole says he wants to see a better Zimbabwe where everyone has equal opportunities.

However, Sithole said this was not to be the case in a Zimbabwe which had been ruled by only known two Presidents and ZANU PF since it attained independence four decades ago.

“Four decades of corrupt and tyrannical ruling party dictatorship have taken a heavy toll on Zimbabwe. The education and health sector have collapsed and almost half the population is living in abject poverty,” he said.

Thus in 2013, Sithole told himself that the only way of changing the status quo was to join the opposition party- the then MDC Alliance.

As the deputy organising secretary for Highfield West, Sithole was responsible for mobilizing and recruiting youth to join the Party and participate in the programs.

Highfield, where Sithole hails, has always been a hot bed of nationalistic politics in the pre independence era and opposition politics in the post-independence Zimbabwe.

Thus, it was not a coincidence that on 11 March 2008, an opposition activist Gift Tandare was shot dead by riot police on his way to a prayer meeting organised by the Save Zimbabwe Coalition in Highfield.

So, the area is always under the spotlight by the state security agents.

“So, it is the same residential area I stayed, and it’s known for being an opposition politics stronghold. Our supervisors would sternly emphasise on our safety when carrying out our day-to-day tasks as the risks associated were very high and would sometimes result in loss of life or extreme torturing from state agents or watch dogs,” said Sithole.

Little did he know that state security agents were watching.On the 20th of June in 2022 Sithole was abducted by two state security agents who purported to be police detectives at Highfield Shopping centre only to be released three days later with no charge against him.

They wanted to nail him for being among the architects of the Nyatsime violence which rocked Chitungwiza a culmination of opposition activist Moreblessing Sithole an opposition politics activist who was abducted and murdered by known ruling party activist Pius Jamba.

“While being held incognito, I suffered harassment and torture in the hands of state security agents for three solid days,” he said.

After all, he is brother to opposition party parliamentarian Godfrey Sithole who was also arrested for the Nyatsime violence.

“My family was not spared as well as they also became targets of the state security agents and ZANU PF militias who harassed them such that they had to flee from home”.

Sithole has since gone into hiding. Hundreds more other opposition politics activists have gone into hiding as security agents intensify a crackdown as the country gears for the watershed 2023 elections.

Mnangagwa Parallel Structures Divide Zanu PF

By-Zanu PF President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s parallel structures have divided the ruling party.

In the run-up to the Zanu PF’s last year’s internal party elections, Mnangagwa created several 4ED structures.

The party now wants to use these to drum up support for Mnangagwa ahead of national elections scheduled for this year.

Zanu PF Political Commissar, Mike Bimha, said these 4ED groups were dividing the party.

The Herald quotes Bimha as saying:

Your task is to lure members who are not in the structures of the party. You should not come to us and claim members who are already in our structures. Whenever you have new members, they should be integrated in the party structures.

We don’t want affiliates who fish our members from our structures and claim them to be theirs.

The party is targeting to mobilise more than 5 million members for President Mnangagwa and the party to ensure a resounding victory in the coming elections.

Recently, Bimha criticised the affiliations for demanding funding from the ruling party.

Men believED, Miners for ED, Teachers for ED, Health workers for ED, Councillors for ED and Driving Schools for ED are among the structures aligning with the ruling party.

Beware Of Cervical Cancer

Key facts

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women globally, with an estimated 604 000 new cases and 342 000 deaths in 2020. About 90% of the new cases and deaths worldwide in 2020 occurred in low- and middle-income countries (1).

Two human papillomavirus (HPV) types (16 and 18) are responsible for nearly 50% of high grade cervical pre-cancers
HPV is mainly transmitted through sexual contact and most people are infected with HPV shortly after the onset of sexual activity. More than 90% of them clear the infection eventually.

Women living with HIV are 6 times more likely to develop cervical cancer compared to women without HIV.

Vaccination against HPV and screening and treatment of pre-cancer lesions is a cost-effective way to prevent cervical cancer.
Cervical cancer can be cured if diagnosed at an early stage and treated promptly.

Comprehensive cervical cancer control includes primary prevention (vaccination against HPV), secondary prevention (screening and treatment of pre-cancerous lesions), tertiary prevention (diagnosis and treatment of invasive cervical cancer) and palliative care.

Overview
Worldwide, cervical cancer is the fourth most frequent cancer in women with an estimated 604 000 new cases in 2020. Of the estimated 342 000 deaths from cervical cancer in 2020, about 90% of these occur in low- and middle-income countries. Women living with HIV are 6 times more likely to develop cervical cancer compared to women without HIV, and an estimated 5% of all cervical cancer cases are attributable to HIV (2). Moreover, in all world regions the contribution of HIV to cervical cancer falls disproportionately on younger women.

In high-income countries, programmes are in place which enable girls to be vaccinated against HPV and women to get screened regularly and treated adequately. Screening allows pre-cancerous lesions to be identified at stages when they can easily be treated.

In low-and middle-income countries, there is limited access to these preventative measures and cervical cancer is often not identified until it has further advanced and symptoms develop. In addition, access to treatment of cancerous lesions (for example, cancer surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy) may be limited, resulting in a higher rate of death from cervical cancer in these countries.

The high mortality rate from cervical cancer globally (age standardized rate among women: 13.3/100 000 in 2020) could be reduced by effective interventions at different stages of life.

HPV and cervical cancer
A large majority of cervical cancer (more than 95%) is due to the human papillomavirus (HPV).

HPV is the most common viral infection of the reproductive tract. Most sexually active women and men will be infected at some point in their lives, and some may be repeatedly infected. More than 90% of the infected populations eventually clear the infection.

Cervical cancer is by far the most common HPV-related disease. Nearly all cases of cervical cancer can be attributed to HPV infection.

Although most HPV infections clear up on their own and most pre-cancerous lesions resolve spontaneously, there is a risk for all women that HPV infection may become chronic and pre-cancerous lesions progress to invasive cervical cancer.

It takes 15 to 20 years for cervical cancer to develop in women with normal immune systems. It can take only 5 to 10 years in women with weakened immune systems, such as those with untreated HIV infection.

Cervical cancer control: a comprehensive approach
The Global strategy towards eliminating cervical cancer as a public health problem, adopted by the World Health Assembly in 2020, recommends a comprehensive approach to cervical cancer prevention and control. The recommended actions include interventions across the life course.

Sad: CCC Activists Fondled In Prison

Female CCC activists who are part of the 25 arrested last week in Harare’s Budiriro suburb complain they are being fondled in remand prison.

The female activists accused the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services wardens of transporting them in the same van with male prisoners who were not members of the party, which resulted in them being fondled along the way.

Their lawyers, Wilbert Mandinde, Kudzai Kadzere and Chris Mhike said that one of the accused persons acquired the COVID-19 virus while in prison and has been isolated for 10 days.

Harare magistrate Yeukai Dzuda ordered the State to investigate the abuse and bring the report to court by Friday.
Meanwhile, the defence filed the accused persons’ bail applications.

But the State said the accused might join their colleagues to commit similar offences if released on bail.

The defence insisted that bail was a constitutional right and the accused persons’ liberty must be preserved.

They also submitted that the State failed to provide reasons for denying the opposition members bail.
The matter was postponed to today for bail application continuation.

Allegations are that on January 14, 2023, the accused persons responded to an invitation for a meeting at Budiriro MP Costa Machingauta’s house.

Last Saturday, the activists who were dressed in their party regalia gathered at Machingauta’s house where they chanted CCC party slogans.

It is State’s case that ZRP Budiriro received a tip off that the accused were gathered illegally and went to investigate.

“Upon arrival at the scene of crime, the police observed that the accused’s conduct was disturbing the peace of a section of members of the public.

The police ordered the accused persons to disperse, but they resisted leading to their arrest. The accused had no lawful excuse to act in the manner they did,” the State submitted. Newsday

Celebrating 12 Months Of Yellow Revolution

POLL- SHOULD “MUSOJA” BE ARRESTED FOR LEAKING MAI DENZY’S NUDES?

By A Correspondent- A disgruntled b0yfriǝnd has exposed a marr!ed w0man after she cheɑtǝd with his close friend.

The l0ve triangle left one Tariro or Mai Denzel with egg on her face after her disgruntled b0yfriǝnd sent nɑʞǝd pictures to her husband.

Reports are that, the b0yfriend, one Daniel Parangeta, from Chimhanda village in Rushinga was riled by Tariro’s decision to dump him for his friend.

This didn’t go down well with him and he exposed Tariro to her husbɑnd, who confronted her.

The matter has since been circulating on social media after the husbɑnd forced her to confess by calling her relatives to inform them about her shenaningans. In some audios, Tariro was made to confess to her brother over the phone in the presence of her husbɑnd who was heard telling her what to say.

“I was dat!ng someone, so I later dumped him and started dat!ng another one. I didn’t know they knew each other. So, he discovered that affa!r and told my husbɑnd.

“He also showed him some n_udǝ picturǝs of me that I had sent him,” Tariro said.

Baba Denzel said Daniel had sent him Tariro’s n_udǝs via WhatsApp.

“I was surprised when her b0yfriend Daniel told me about his relati0nship with my wife as if that was not enough, he then sent my wife’s n_udǝ picturǝs as proof that indeed were in l0vǝ.

“I then confronted my wife about the issue and asked her about Daniel and she ran away.

“I then received a phone call from Daniel asking why I asked Tariro about the issue and he later told me that Tariro was hiding in my landlord’s house,” said Baba Denzel.

Baba Denzel asked his wife’s relatives to come and fetch her.

“It’s not the first time she is doing this. I caught her in Mbare and she came ikoko akabatwa futi.

“She was even sending them n_udǝ picturǝs and showing them new pant!es.

“She has two boyfriends.”

Baba Denzel told his brother in-law to come and collect his sister.

“Come and get your sister, you have to take her today,” he said calmly.

Tariro’s mother also talked to her on the phone.

“You are a marriǝd woman, why were you doing that my daughter. I am embarrassed by your conduct. Why were you doing it,” she asked.

Tariro responded by saying she blundered.

Sikhala’s Freedom Bid Hits Snag

Citizens Coalition for Change interim vice-chairperson Job Sikhala who is accused of obstructing the course of justice yesterday had his application challenging submission of new court papers dismissed by Harare magistrate Marehwanazvo Gofa.

Sikhala, who is being represented by Jeremiah Bhamu and Harrison Nkomo, had objected to the State’s intentions to provide the defence with further court documents.

The CCC legislator said it would prejudice him in his case if the State proceeded to furnish him with further documents.

However, the State said the documents would help them in their case against Sikhala and asked the court to grant the application.

Gofa granted the application saying the State case was yet to commence its trial.

She then remanded the matter to tomorrow.

Sikhala is accused of obstructing the police to investigate the murder of CCC activist Moreblessing Ali whose dismembered body was found in a pit near her alleged killer’s residence.

Sikhala has clocked more than six months in remand prison and has been denied bail several times.

Chapel who has gotten scores of job seekers stranded in South Africa after collecting tens of thousands of pounds in illegal fees, that saw the British government stripping her of her recruitment license late last year, has relaunched job adverts in the neighbouring country. The development comes after she evading her victims, began claiming that her FNB bank account has been shut.

One of the victims is one, Susan (surname withheld), who was robbed over R120,0000 in January 2021 and against whom Chapel has been using social media trolls to harrass her.

Mnangagwa Warned Against Detaining Sikhala, CCC Activists

Former Zanu PF national youth political commissar Godfrey Tsenengamu yesterday said President Emmerson Mnangagwa will be hounded for continually detaining Citizens Coalitions for Change (CCC) legislators Job Sikhala (Zengeza West), Godfrey Sithole (Chitungwiza North) and 13 Nyatsime opposition activists.

On Tuesday, Sikhala had his umpteenth bail application thrown out in a case he stands accused of obstructing the course of justice.

Sikhala, Sithole and the 13 activists were arrested in June and have been remanded since then at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison, where they are being denied bail.

The outspoken Front for Economic Emancipation in Zimbabwe leader Tsenengamu addressed a Press conference in the capital yesterday under the banner Friends of Job Sikhala Solidarity Trust, telling journalists that Mnangagwa was living on borrowed time.

The Friends of Sikhala group includes Transform Zimbabwe leader Jacob Ngarivhume, former Zanu PF terror group Chipangano leader Jim Kunaka, Chitungwiza and Manyame Rural Residents Association director Marvelous Khumalo and Sybeth Musengezi of Zanu PF.

“I am a leader of a political organisation being a friend of Job Sikhala. I was once arrested in the new dispensation as well as the old dispensation under the late President Robert Mugabe’s regime after I spoke about what was happening then,” Tsenegamu said.

“In 2017, we had an operation to restore our legacy, but it is so sad that the so-called new dispensation has gone rogue disregarding the rule of law and disregarding the national Constitution totally. I don’t believe in Job Sikhala’s political ideology, but I don’t see any reason to celebrate his persecution because he is also a Zimbabwean and he doesn’t deserve this,” he added.

He then warned Mnangagwa that: “No one is safe. Everyone is a potential victim. Those who are leading this once jumped the border, fearing to be arrested and you are also a candidate of what Job Sikhala is going through. The late President Robert Mugabe went to his home while sick because of this regime and what this regime is doing is not sustainable. Power is temporary and don’t get drunk with power. This will come back to you.”

“Arrests Will Not Deter Us”: President Chamisa

 By A Correspondent- The opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) says the relentless arrest of its legislators and supporters will not scare or deter the party from participating in general elections to be held later this year.

In a message yesterday to commemorate the CCC’s first anniversary, party leader Nelson Chamisa said they had “moved mountains” in their first year of existence.

In one year, you have excelled. Change champions, you moved mountains. Because God is in it you won 19 out of 28 parliamentary seats, and 89 out of 149 councillors in by-elections. Thank you for your solidarity and support for believing. You have supported us against all odds. A new Great Zimbabwe,” Chamisa tweeted.

“We aim to win big to seal the presidency. Two-thirds in Parliament and choose both Speaker of Parliament and President of the Senate. We must attain a majority in local authorities. Citizens, let’s do it again,” he said.

Chamisa had previously insisted that his party would not participate in the elections in the absence of tangible electoral reforms, but seems to have softened up.

The youthful opposition leader launched the CCC on January 24 last year after months of bickering with Douglas Mwonzora over control of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) after the former ganged up with others in the party to challenge Chamisa’s ascension to leadership following the death of the party’s founding leader Morgan Tsvangirai in February 2018.

During the bickering, the MDC split, with Mwonzora wresting control of original MDC-T and Chamisa forming the splinter MDC-Alliance, which contested in the 2018 elections and won a sizeable number of parliamentary and council of seats, while Chamisa narrowly lost to Zanu PF leader Emmerson Mnangagwa in the presidential race, but has disputed the results.

In a crude political twist, in the following months after the elections, Mwonzora claimed ownership of the MDC-Alliance and triggered an intriguing process of recalling MDC-Alliance MPs and councillors who were refusing to jump ship.

Sikhala Implicates Prison Guards In Food Poisoning Scare

Job Sikhala’s aide, Freddy Masarirevhu, has implicated Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison officials in the alleged poisoning of the incarcerated opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) legislator on Saturday.

“I spoke (to) Sikhala, who is visibly in a very terrible state. He informed me that on Saturday, about eight men, officers, came to his cell. He said the men informed him that they wanted to conduct a search. He said he was told to be at a distance as they were searching,” Masarirevhu said.

“He said they did not disclose what they were looking for. They moved around his belongings, including his food. After this, he advised me that he went on to eat his food that evening and then he vomited continuously.

“The nurses at the prison had to immediately attend to him. He said had it not been that, he could have died. He was attended to by the nurses for hours as there was some panic. Thereafter, he took 10 litres of water as part of the treatment.”

Currently, Sikhala’s state is stable, he added.

“At the moment, he appears stable, but he said he is still suffering from a stomach ache. He can’t walk properly. He said he suspects that the officers did something. He said they have never searched before in the manner they did. He is still recovering and I hope he gets better soon.”

Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services officials could not be reached for comment.

The opposition politician, however, appeared before magistrate Vongai Muchuchuti-Guwuriro yesterday in a case he is accused of incitement to commit public violence in 2019.

He was supposed to stand for trial, but the matter was postponed to September 13.

After the magistrate left the courtroom, Sikhala protested against being denied access to his aide and to visit him at the prison court.

“You wanted to kill me on Saturday. I won’t die, God will protect me until I liberate this country from Zanu PF,” Sikhala shouted in court.

He is also facing a charge of incitement to commit public violence after addressing mourners at a the funeral of slain CCC member Moreblessing Ali in Nyatsime, Chitungwiza, in May this year.

He is also facing another charge of obstructing justice over Ali’s murder.

Is Mai Denzy Really That Evil Or There’s Something We’re Not Being Told?

By Showbiz Reporter | Saddening audios of epic levels involving a Harare wife caught up in a triple love affair has the woman being grilled over why she eloped with another man while caught up in another illicit affair.

“Come and take your sister away… if you don’t take your sister today… I have finished my conversation with you,” screams the woman’s husband, as she is being chased away. He is at this time speaking via phone with the woman’s husband.

By this time, she has explained to her brother over the call that she was caught up in a love affair.

” There is someone I am in love with,” she briefly says.

“Do not say that, say the truth that you are in love with several people!” the husband screamed at her in the background.

She asks for her time to explain everything in her own words. “Please wait let me explain because what you are saying only happened later,” she asks her husband.

She goes on: “there is someone I was in love with, and I dumped him; After that, I moved on to another relationship, and the new man I had no clue that he knows the previous lover.

“The second man then travelled to Baba Dzenzel to tell him the pictures. ”

‘Reveal what type the pics are!,” demands the husband.

“They are naked pics,” the wife says.

Why were you doing this?, asks the woman’s brother.

“For no reason- hapana,” says the woman.

At this juncture, the brother tells the sister to hand the phone to the husband and asks for his decision.

“Come and take your sister away… if you don’t take your sister today… I have finished my conversation with you,” screams the woman’s husband, as she is being chased away.

The husband says he has no bus money to give the wife.

The brother then refers Mai Denzel to a woman who lives in Budiriro 4.

Arrests Will Not Stop Us From Challenging Mnangagwa, Says Chamisa

The opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) says the relentless arrest of its legislators and supporters will not scare or deter the party from participating in general elections to be held later this year.

In a message yesterday to commemorate the CCC’s first anniversary, party leader Nelson Chamisa said they had “moved mountains” in their first year of existence.

“In one year, you have excelled. Change champions, you moved mountains. Because God is in it you won 19 out of 28 parliamentary seats, and 89 out of 149 councillors in by-elections. Thank you for your solidarity and support for believing. You have supported us against all odds. A new Great Zimbabwe,” Chamisa tweeted.

“We aim to win big to seal the presidency. Two-thirds in Parliament and choose both Speaker of Parliament and President of the Senate. We must attain a majority in local authorities. Citizens, let’s do it again,” he said.

Chamisa had previously insisted that his party would not participate in the elections in the absence of tangible electoral reforms, but seems to have softened up.

In a crude political twist, in the following months after the elections, Mwonzora claimed ownership of the MDC-Alliance and triggered an intriguing process of recalling MDC-Alliance MPs and councillors who were refusing to jump ship.

Chamisa eventually lost the party headquarters, Morgan Richard Tsvangirai House, party finances under the Political Parties Finances Act and the MDC Alliance name to Mwonzora. He later regrouped with disgruntled MDC colleagues under the CCC banner, which has assumed yellow as its official colour.

Two months after its launch, the CCC participated in the March 26 by-elections in which it won 19 out of 28 parliamentary seats and 89 out of 149 council seats.

In his first anniversary message, Chamisa described all incarcerated CCC cadres as citizens’ heroes.

Zengeza West legislator Job Sikhala has been languishing in remand prison for more than six months for allegedly inciting violence, while Budiriro legislator Costa Machingauta and Mkoba MP Amos Chibaya were arrested last week for convening an unsanctioned meeting.

“They are citizens’ heroes. The onslaught on the yellow train sees us celebrating our first anniversary with our champions behind bars on spurious charges! Champions HON MPs Sikhala, Chibaya, Machingauta & Budiriro 25 are sadly under persecution,” Chamisa said.

In an interview with NewsDay, the party’s national deputy spokesperson Felix Magalela Sibanda said the greatest success of the party in its first year was winning elections in two months of its existence.

“Our road to democracy has been so painful, however, we made successes, and we also thrived in rural areas and grabbed Zanu PF’s strongholds.”

Sibanda also said there were some setbacks including the banning of their political rallies.

The CCC national deputy spokesperson said, nonetheless, the party was ready for the elections.

Oscar Pambuka Survives Long Jail Term

By- A Mbare magistrate has reduced a jail sentence initially handed over to the former television personality Oscar Pambuka.

On Tuesday, Pambuka was spared from serving another prison term after the magistrate sentenced him to a wholly suspended one-year jail term for attempted fraud.

Mbare magistrate Mr Nyasha Vitorini suspended the 12 months for three years on condition that he does not commit another offence involving dishonesty.
Pambuka was taken to court after he attempted to dupe Croco Motors director Mr Moses Chingwena of R36 000.
Mr Vitorini, in sentencing Pambuka, said he noted that he did not benefit from the offence and that the jail term he was serving for his 2018 fraud case would do justice and keep him out of crime.

Raza has thanked Chevrons coach Dave Houghton after he was included in the ICC T20I and ODI Team of the Year.

“Incredibly humbled to be named in T20I and ODI team of the year. This wouldn’t have been possible without Houghton and his technical team and my team mates. Most importantly the prayers I receive from all of you. I thank you all and am forever grateful,’’ said Raza.

The all-rounder was by far the best player for Zimbabwe in international cricket and Chevrons fans refer to him as a national treasure. He is one of the reasons why spectators are coming out in their thousands to back the national team in Bulawayo and Harare.

Raza came alive after the arrival of Houghton as national team coach, starting with winning the Player of the Tournament as Zimbabwe qualified for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia. He was at his best when Zimbabwe floored Bangladesh at home and carried on his magnificent display in Australia which saw him named in the ICC Men’s T20 Team of the Tournament. – state media

Church Refuses To Be Silenced By Mnangagwa Regime

Tinashe Sambiri|Fearless and tough-talking preacher, Bishop Ancelimo Magaya, has implored the church to denounce Zanu PF barbarism.

In a strong statement at the weekend, Bishop Magaya challenged the church to remain firm and resolute in speaking out the truth to power.

Read the statement below…

The church’s recent efforts commendable.

We commend and applaud the church’s recent pastoral visit to the Murewa politically motivated victims of violence and their subsequent clear statement calling for peace and restoration of people’s freedoms.

The story of a Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) does not only ridicule a religion that does not take cognizance of the full worthy of the dignity of humanity as depicted by the Priest and Levite who “passed by on the other side”, but clearly models how the church should lead in good neighborliness.

At a time that many “church leaders” have opted to sing a song of a parot as written by Kenyan writer Ngugi Wathiongo, and sadly doing so for corruptible gold and silver, the true church should rise and be true to their calling. The church is exhorted to do more than statements. Let us overcome fear and be ready to be counted among the ancient prophets and apostles. It is ironic that many that call themselves apostles and prophets today do not have an aota of similarity with the prophets and apostles who have gone before us. If the church rises and be true to her calling, serving God and “holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience “ (1Tim 3:9), Zimbabwe will be transitioned into an era of socio-economic,justice bliss:a foretaste of what the new world under the rulership of Christ will be.

A warning to those who have opted to fear and serve the interests of the evil doers -strengthening their hands(Jer 23:14), God will expose you soon unless you repent from your blaspheming spree and be true to your calling. God save Zimbabwe.

Mukamba Not At All Returning To DeMbare

DENVER MUKAMBA STOLE THE ATTENTION ON FRIDAY SESSION

A group of defenders, including new skipper Frank Makarati, listened attentively as coach Herbert “Jompano” Maruwa shared some defensive tactics.

On the other end of the pitch, club legend Murape Murape and Genesis “Kaka” Mangombe were working with attacking players.

Box-to-box midfielder Shadreck Nyahwa, who is recovering from a nagging knee injury, did some light training on the sidelines.

There was a lot of energy and a lot of enthusiasm among the players, who are eager to impress Dynamos’ new coach.

DeMbare’s new signing Tanaka Shandirwa has immediately drawn attention, not because of his tinted hair, but his skill and ability.

The former Yadah player, whose industriousness has earned him the moniker “Kante”, was very impressive during an 11 versus 11 session DeMbare held at Alex Sports Club on Friday.

However, the training session was soon to be halted following the arrival of Division Two side Mabvuku United, who had come for a sparring match with the Harare giants.

But attention soon switched to an all-too-familiar but pleasant surprise guest.

Denver Mukamba walked into the venue and greeted the security staff before having a long chat with Dynamos secretary Webster Marechera.

Whether the chat was business or social is still unclear.

However, Maruwa cleared the air on Mukamba, who has been heavily linked with a return to DeMbare after he was offloaded by Ngezi Platinum Stars.

Mukamba won the 2012 Soccer Star of the Year award with Dynamos, before his career took a nosedive due to disciplinary issues.

Since 2012, he has played for University of Pretoria, Jomo Cosmos, CAPS United, Chapungu United and Ngezi Platinum Stars.

He is now eyeing another sensational return to DeMbare.

“Nothing as yet concerning Denver (Mukamba). He just came to watch the game.

“If there is anything, we will let you know,” Maruwa told The Sunday Mail Sport.

While the future of the controversial Mukamba remains a subject of speculation, Ali Sadiki, who hails from the same neighbourhood in Highfield as the controversial player, has found a new home at Dynamos.

The 35-year-old linkman is the latest player to join DeMbare, who have been on a massive realignment exercise since the arrival of Maruwa.

“He (Sadiki) is now a Dynamos player; he has signed already,” said the gaffer.

Sadiki, who played for Simba Bhora in the Northern Region Division One league last season, becomes the ninth official signing.

Strikers Nyasha Chintuli (28) and Soccer Star of the Year finalist Eli Ilunga (25) are now at DeMbare.

Chintuli looked lively during Friday’s training session.

Emmanuel Ziocha (21), Shandirwa (23), Tendai Matindife (21), Arthur “Diego” Musiiwa (27) and the Moyo twins — Kevin and Elvis — are the other new signings who played a part in the practice match against Mabvuku United.

Musiiwa, who has joined DeMbare from Bulawayo Chiefs, is a skilful midfielder with an eye for that fine pass.

He scored the solitary goal when Chiefs beat Herentals in the 2022 Chibuku Super Cup final at Barbourfields Stadium in November.

“We need to build a team that can compete with the likes of FC Platinum and Chicken Inn, then see what happens.

“But so far so good. The new guys are giving us a lot of options,” said Maruwa.

The former Black Rhinos coach clocks exactly 40 days in charge of Dynamos today.

He replaced Tonderai Ndiraya, who led DeMbare to a third-place finish in the 2021/2022 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League.

And now Maruwa is aiming to do better than Ndiraya.

That is why he has been refreshing the squad with young and energetic players.

Thirteen players have already been shown the door.

Godknows Murwira, Keith Murera, Ralph Kawondera, Sylvester Appiah, Albert Eonde and Alex Orotomal are no longer at DeMbare.

Ageing striker Evans Katema and Ghanaian flop Martin Ofori have been transfer-listed, while Luke Musikiri, Claivert Tshuma and Stephen Chatikobo — who filled the Under-20 slots last season — have been released.

Some of the key players in DeMbare’s campaign last season — Taimon Mvula, Emmanuel Jalai and Emmanuel Paga — have been retained.

“In terms of endurance, the boys are almost 70 percent; we keep on pushing, and we are happy.

“We need a strong team that can compete and reduce the gap between us and defending champions FC Platinum.

“We need to make sure we are up there for us to compete.”

DeMbare are not yet done with signings.

“We need to keep on improving the team. We need to add two or so guys to make sure we have a solid team. Expect more signings.”

Maruwa has brought in a new approach at Dynamos, and discipline has become the buzzword.

The gaffer also wants to assemble a youthful side that can overrun opponents.

“It’s not about performance only, even discipline also counts,” he says.

As a result, some of the players were offloaded for indiscipline.

“We need a vibrant squad with an average of 25 years.

“We need a team with a lot of energy and speed; that’s why we are bringing in more youngsters. But we also have to balance the squad with some senior guys,” he said.

Robbers Gun Down Man At Bank

A man was shot in the head outside a bank in Wick Street, Verulam, on Monday at 9am.

Prem Balram, of Reaction Unit SA, said the man was rushed to hospital in a critical condition and died on arrival.

He said the robbers made off with two bags of cash.

“The Reaction Unit South Africa (Rusa) Operations Centre received multiple calls from businesses and the public reporting a shooting in progress.

“On arrival, Rusa officers discovered the victim lying on the pavement, bleeding from a gunshot wound to his head.

“Rusa medics stabilised him on scene before expediting him to hospital in a critical condition.

“His condition rapidly deteriorated during the journey. Resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful and he was pronounced deceased on arrival at the hospital.”

Balram said that according to witnesses, the victim and a work colleague were a few metres away from the entrance of the bank when they were confronted by two armed males.

“One of the suspects fired two shots and stole two bags of cash before fleeing in their getaway vehicle.

“Some witnesses reported that either a black VW Golf or silver Toyota Corolla with an ND registration was used by the robbers.”

He said the second victim was not injured.

This weekend, a man was killed while walking with his daughter in Newlands East.

It is alleged that gunmen travelling in a VW Polo opened fire on them.

Both of them were hit and taken to hospital. The father died from his injuries.

Police said a case of murder and attempted murder was being investigated.

CCC Female Activists Fondled In Prison

By- Female CCC activists who are part of the 25 arrested last week in Harare’s Budiriro suburb complain they are being fondled in remand prison.

The female activists accused the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services wardens of transporting them in the same van with male prisoners who were not members of the party, which resulted in them being fondled along the way.

Their lawyers, Wilbert Mandinde, Kudzai Kadzere and Chris Mhike said that one of the accused persons acquired the COVID-19 virus while in prison and has been isolated for 10 days.
Harare magistrate Yeukai Dzuda ordered the State to investigate the abuse and bring the report to court by Friday.
Meanwhile, the defence filed the accused persons’ bail applications.
But the State said the accused might join their colleagues to commit similar offences if released on bail.
The defence insisted that bail was a constitutional right and the accused persons’ liberty must be preserved. They also submitted that the State failed to provide reasons for denying the opposition members bail.
The matter was postponed to today for bail application continuation.
Allegations are that on January 14, 2023, the accused persons responded to an invitation for a meeting at Budiriro MP Costa Machingauta’s house.
Last Saturday, the activists who were dressed in their party regalia gathered at Machingauta’s house where they chanted CCC party slogans.
It is State’s case that ZRP Budiriro received a tip off that the accused were gathered illegally and went to investigate.
“Upon arrival at the scene of crime, the police observed that the accused’s conduct was disturbing the peace of a section of members of the public. The police ordered the accused persons to disperse, but they resisted leading to their arrest. The accused had no lawful excuse to act in the manner they did,” the State submitted. Newsday

Zim Pastor Fired After Hiring Assassin To Kill Wife In Canada

By A Correspondent | ZimEye | A Zimbabwean priest for the Anglican church, Rev Tapiwa Gusha whose audio messages plotting to get his wife killed, has been fired, ZimEye is told.

While an official church statement was awaited Rev Tapiwa Gusha is heard in the audios narrating to a Mozambique based assassin transcribed below.

Sekuru Zandamela how are you?

My name is Tapiwa, I got your number from Sekuru Mapungwana from Inyanga.

I have a problem. I have a wife I separated from over 6 months ago. I am now staying alone, we are both in different areas of the same Canadian town. After separating, we parted ways with 2 boys, 8 years, and another who is 6 years.

So she is angry with me to the point of making to see the kids again, so I was seeking someone who can help me so that these kids can return to me to live with them. So I was seeking someone who can make her heart become dark (sedate through poisoning), so she can release the kids over to me, or that the wife herself goes forever, she dies (from poisoning) so that I don’t get into problems.

So I was given your number and decided to ask you for help and hear what is quickest and easiest for you. And myself what am I supposed to pay you? This is my story Sekuru, I would be happy to hear from you; thank you very much.

………………..

AT THIS POINT, THE PRIEST COMMUNICATES IN WRITING (WATCH VIDEO).

 

It is well Sekuru, I am hearing you.
Let me now send you my pictures, and my totem. I will send you my children’s pictures.
I will then send you my wife’s pictures. After you’ve inspected them, you will then inform me what is needed. If you work out a way to make her get blown over (sedate through poisoning) to make her lose the kids, she returns the children to me; so that she doesn’t take them back. But I was thinking that she might still bounce back, it will continue as a continuous war between us, so I was asking that if there is a way to just make her lose her life at once, so that we know that the war has ended. This is what I was thinking, but you can review which is the best way be fixed once and for all. This is what I was asking.

Mwonzora, Mudzuri War Escalates

By-Suspended former MDC-T vice president Elias Mudzuri has lashed out at the party president Douglas Mwonzora and accused him of destroying the once vibrant opposition.

The MDC-T National Council recently suspended Mudzuri together with six other party leaders for “indiscipline”.

The other officials who were suspended are provincial chairpersons Gift Konjana (Mashonaland West), John Nyika (Masvingo) Den Moyo (USA Province) Edwin Dzambara (Secretary for Education), and Edwin Kakora (national executive member).

In an interview with TellZim News Mudzuri said he was yet to receive communication on his suspension.

He said he only heard about the suspension from other members of the party who were in the meeting that resolved to suspend him. Mudzuri added:

Mwonzora is destroying the party with his actions. The party needs people for the 2023 elections but he is busy suspending; how is it going to stand a chance against ZANU PF?

Mudzuri, on his official Twitter account, claimed that the party had resolved to fire him for telling leaders that leadership should be chosen from grassroots structures. He wrote:

I am reliably informed that today (January 21, 2023) the illegitimate MDC National Council will expel me from the party.

How can a founder member be expelled for insisting that leaders must always be chosen by the base structures & not the elite & for merely chatting with customers at Duriro Bar?

Zanu PF Targets More Chamisa Top Aides

By- Zanu PF is targeting Top Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) officials to soil them ahead of this year’s elections.

The latest target is the party’s deputy President Welshman Ncube who has been dragged to the Law Society of Zimbabwe (LSZ) by Vice-President Phelekezela Mphoko’s son, Siqokoqela, for allegedly stealing trust funds.

The state media report that the Mphokos are accusing the opposition leader of squandering part of the US$2,9 million they got as shares from Choppies Enterprises after they were bought out of the company.

The matter is still pending before the courts.
According to summons filed at the Bulawayo High Court under case number HC 2906/19, the Mphokos want an order directing Prof Ncube to pay them about US$1,5 million being the outstanding balance of the money they received as shares from Choppies including a five percent interest calculated from January 16, 2019, to the date of full payment.
In papers before the court, Prof Ncube was cited as a defendant.
In a new twist to the legal wrangle, Siqokoqela wrote to LSZ appealing to the regulatory body of lawyers in the country to compel Prof Ncube to produce bank statements from his law firm with reference to funds he received under trust from Choppies Enterprises on their behalf.
Prof Ncube of Mathonsi Ncube Law Chambers represented the Mphokos before they ditched him for Mr Zibusiso Ncube of Ncube and Partners.
In his letter dated 17 January 2023, Siqokoqela said Prof Ncube, by virtue of being an officer of the law, breached the trust of the attorney and client in violation of the ethics of the legal profession.
Siqokoqela said Prof Ncube confirmed to him that he received on his behalf, the full amount from Choppies Enterprises.
Upon request, he (Prof Ncube) only paid me US$280 000 of my 25,5 percent shares from the amount transferred to Mathonsi Ncube Law Chambers trust account,” he stated in his letter.
Siqokoqela said Prof Ncube, while acting in his capacity as their attorney under a contract of mandate and having separately been contracted to do so in a written addendum to a settlement agreement signed between the Mphokos and Choppies on January 11, 2019, received the money.
He said as per the agreement, Prof Ncube was supposed to get US$100 000 for his legal services.
“Despite demand, Welshman Ncube has failed, neglected, and refused to pay me. I have also taken this matter to the High Court in Bulawayo and the matter under case number HC2906/19 is awaiting trial,” he said.
“I am appealing to the Law Society of Zimbabwe to compel Welshman Ncube to produce bank statements with reference to the funds under trust from Choppies Enterprises on my behalf in terms of the laws of the country.”
Siqokoqela said at the time of receiving US$2, 9 million from Choppies Enterprise, Prof Ncube was their family lawyer between January and February 2019 before they had a fallout.
“At all material times, I was a 25,5 percent shareholder in Nanavac Investments trading as Choppies Zimbabwe. The amount of money received by Ncube in trust involved a transaction where I was pressured to dispose of my shares in exchange for the withdrawal of fake criminal charges against me and my wife,” he said.

The Mphokos exited Botswana-based Nanavac Investments, trading as Choppies Supermarkets Zimbabwe, in January 2019 after offering to be bought out of the company to end a protracted ownership wrangle.
At the height of their legal battles, Choppies Enterprises’ chief executive officer, Mr Ramachandran Ottapathu alleged that the Mphoko family owned only seven percent shareholding.
He said the other 44 percent was given to them to fulfil the indigenisation laws of the country. However, Prof Ncube, who at the time represented the Mphokos, insisted that his clients held 51 percent of the shares.
The fight became messy when Siqokoqela and his wife Nomagugu were dragged to court on charges of interfering with the operations of Choppies Distribution Centre and Choppies Enterprises. This followed accusations that they swindled the businesses of a combined US$80 000.
Siqokoqela, who was a shareholder in the retail business and a non-executive director, was accused of abusing his power to “loot” US$50 000 in cash realised from sales at different supermarkets and replacing it with transfers.
Nomagugu was facing 49 counts of extortion after allegedly bulldozing various Choppies outlets in Bulawayo and demanding cash.
The two matters under case numbers CRB Byo 2431/18 and CRB Byo 2567/18 were subsequently withdrawn.
This was after Mr Ramachandran submitted an affidavit to the prosecution withdrawing charges against Siqokoqela and Nomagugu.

How To Know If CBD Capsules Are Of Premium Quality?

For individuals looking to make CBD an integral part of their wellness routine, premium-quality CBD capsules are the way to go. These capsules are designed with superior ingredients and backed by rigorous quality control standards. With premium quality capsules, users can be confident of powerful effects in a convenient form factor. Their convenience makes them perfect for discreet use without compromising potency or efficacy. All in all, depending on your unique needs and condition, buying premium quality Cannabidiol capsules may be the ideal solution to support your desire for optimal health and well-being.

Here’s How To Know If CBD Capsules Are Of Premium Quality

1. Look For A Certificate Of Analysis

If you are looking for premium quality CBD capsules, then the first thing you need to look for is a Certificate of Analysis. An independent lab test should always be carried out to guarantee that the product meets the correct standards and contains no harmful substances.

You can buy here

These tests will often look at things such as potency, terpenes, compounds, and vital contaminants to reassure consumers that these capsules have been produced safely and efficiently. This knowledge will give you peace of mind when choosing which product is right for you.

2. Third-Party Testing

Knowing if a Cannabidiol capsule is of premium quality comes down to one method; looking for third-party testing. Third-party testing goes beyond just seeing the capsule’s contents, but rather making sure the lab’s analysis complements each other, ensuring that not only are the ingredients in the capsules accurate but, more importantly, that they’ve been through rigorous quality tests to ensure safety and potency.

Furthermore, it can ensure that what is printed on the label is legally and accurately matched with its content.

Lastly, since every batch of products is unique, customers can have peace of mind knowing that each capsule can be verified using third-party tests through its batch number. Knowing this information provides certainty and assurance when purchasing premium CBD capsules.

3. Hemp Seed Oil

If you are considering taking these capsules as an addition to your daily routine, then knowing what to look for in terms of quality is essential. One evidence-based sign of premium quality CBD capsules is their ingredients list – look for hemp seed oil!

Although the human body does not make cannabinoids internally, the fatty acids contained within hemp seed oil help facilitate better absorption into our systems when taken in combination with other ingredients such as Cannabidiol.

Quality seal certifications from independent regulators and third-party laboratory tests can also serve as indicators of high-quality capsules, so research thoroughly before you place an order.

4. CO2 Extraction

Many CBD capsules can differ in effectiveness and quality, so it is important to understand the methods used in production. One of the key markers of premium-quality capsules is whether CO2 extraction was used during production.

This extraction method involves using a carbon dioxide gas, which allows for all beneficial components of hemp to be retained while preventing contamination. Since CO2 extraction results in a more concentrated product, you can rest assured that your Cannabidiol capsule provides maximum benefits. Therefore, if you want to know that your CBD capsules are of premium quality, look for those produced with the CO2 extraction method.

5. CBD Concentration

To identify if a CBD capsule is of superior quality, you should look at its concentration of cannabidiol. This can be found on the manufacturer’s product label or website and will typically be listed as an amount of mg per capsule.

Generally, these capsules that have higher concentrations often have more robust effects. However, you should take caution before taking high doses of Cannabidiol, as it may lead to undesirable side effects.

Researching a company’s reputation can also help ensure the safety and composition of its products, as they are expected to follow all necessary regulatory rules to guarantee the most effective outcomes.

6. Price Point

Finding CBD capsules of premium quality can be difficult, making price points a key consideration for any buyer. In general, premium products tend to cost more because production and ingredient acquisition involve complicated and costly processes.

For example, many manufacturers use CO2 supercritical extraction, which is one of the most expensive methods, to extract potent oils from hemp flowers.

Consequently, when investigating potential product options with similar results, buyers should note price points to identify those offering the highest possible quality. Furthermore, check that companies carry reputable certifications like the US Hemp Authority.

Why Should You Buy Premium-Quality CBD Capsules?

Premium quality CBD capsules offer several critical benefits to those taking them:

  1. This type of product has been carefully formulated and bottled in conditions that meet some of the highest standards available with modern advancements in cannabis product production.
  1. By opting for a premium quality option, you also gain access to laboratory-verified reports which underpin the safety and efficacy of the formula and ingredients.
  1. As with other health supplements, you learn that anything claiming to be part of your dietary needs is effective and trustworthy.

Are CBD Capsules Legal?

CBD capsules have become increasingly popular for various reasons, including convenience, the accuracy of dosage, and increased bioavailability. While its legality can be complicated due to various regulations at the state level, some helpful guidelines make understanding these laws easier.

There is no universal answer to whether or not these capsules are legal; it depends on many factors, such as the source of the product and its THC content. In most countries around the world, products made using industrial hemp extracts are considered legal, as long as they contain less than 0.3% THC.

When purchasing these capsules online or in-store, it is essential to research both federal and state laws to ensure you are dealing with a legitimate product. Doing this will ensure you purchase a legally compliant product that won’t put your health at risk.

Summing It Up

Buying premium-quality CBD capsules is undoubtedly a wise decision for anyone looking to maximize the potential benefits of this natural compound. These capsules contain higher levels of active ingredients than lower-grade products and are typically more convenient and less messy than other delivery methods. Additionally, because these capsules are generally easier to swallow than oils or tinctures, they may be preferred by those who find taking Cannabidiol in a liquid form difficult.

DRC Courts Clear Matiza’s Argus Company

Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) courts have cleared young Zimbabwe businessman Batsirai Matiza’s Argus Company to start operations.

This comes after Argus attracted the interest of international investors after spearheading successful acquisitions of Cobalt mining companies based in the DRC.

Argus had disputes with some interested groups but courts have resolved that Matiza’s Argus is the rightful owner and operator on the 40 claims located in an area north of Kinshasa.

Argus representatives have confirmed 50 percent of the $24 million investment is already on the ground in the form of equipment, real estate and personnel.

“Due to the dispute Matiza has increased personal security after threats coming from DRC based big wigs and previous miners on the claims,” close sources said. “He also advocated for more compliance in the industry which put Argus at odds with local businessmen.

Efforts to reach Matiza via phone and email were fruitless.

Matiza, using off-shore based Argus Group as the special purpose vehicle, has entered into deals which will see him partnering with international companies across the globe.

Argus has taken a unique approach by accepting cryptocurrency investment in conjunction with fiat currency, shielding its investors from the spotlight.

Sulemain Habib, based in dubai last year said the team has been pleased with Argus’s direction to date and looks forward to being welcomed to Zimbabwe in January 2022.

“We are happy to be working with him. He is young but very aggressive. That is what we need, especially in these unpredictable markets. Unfortunately I am not in a position to disclose the finer details as these are private investments and Mr. Matiza is now politically exposed.”

Batsirai who is the son of former Transport minister Biggie Matiza, has a strong finance background and network. He also recently became a member of the Central Committee, Zanu-PF’s Principal organ of the Party.

Matiza worked for Goldman Sachs in New York, the largest investment bank in the world, covering tech, media, and telecommunications companies in their prestigious Investment Banking Division.

“King Mswati Killed Prominent Lawyer”

Tinashe Sambiri|The Citizens Coalition for Change( CCC) Namibia has accused King Mswati 111 of killing top Eswatini lawyer Thulani Maseko.

See below CCC Namibia statement on the death of Maseko.

Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) Namibia blasts King Mswati 111 for the brutal murder of the Lawyer & Human Rights Defender, Thulani Maseko!

23 January 2023

Citizens Coalition for Change Namibia is infuriated by the continued human butchery of lawyers, political activists, students, and human rights defenders in eSwatini since 2021. As a pro-democracy movement, we urge SADC, African Union, and the United Nations to investigate the callous murder of the renowned lawyer and human rights defender ,Thulani Maseko.

Thulani Maseko was just fighting for the advent of constitutional democracy in eSwatini. It is not a crime to clamor for a representative democracy where people are allowed to participate in the national discourse. The people of eSwatini are longing for democratic elections that will see monarchism sinking into oblivion. Namibia district encourages SADC to speak out in condemnation of this gross abuse of the universal fundamental human rights in eSwatini. May the revolutionary soul of Thulani Maseko rest in power.

This culture of dictatorship in Southern Africa must be resisted with equal measure. All progressive citizens in SADC countries should amplify their revolutionary voices against state repression. The ruthless monarchist is the one who sent his hitmen to decimate the life of our diligent lawyer and human rights defender because of his advocacy for constitutionalism as well as the rule of law.

In the recent week in Zimbabwe, we saw human rights defender Kudzai Kadzere brutally attacked by the captured Zimbabwe Republic Police(ZRP). Citizens Coalition for Change Namibia condemns both the Harare regime and Mswati’s monarchy for their behavior towards social democrats and human rights lawyers . Lawyer Kudzai Kadzere was left with broken arms in the course of representing the arbitrarily arrested CCC Budiriro 26 who include Hon Amos Chibaya, Hon Costa Machingauta, CLR Mukwada, Star from change radio, and others.

Progressive inhabitants of SADC should unite against these monsters who don’t respect the sanctity of life. Firing two bullets in the head of the lawyer is beyond satanism. We demand justice for Thulani Maseko. These assassins must be brought to book. Mswati and his ruthless counterpart in Zimbabwe should face the fury of social democrats. It is sad to inform the globe that Hon Job Saro Wiwa Sikhala is still caged at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison on trumped-up charges since 14 June 2022. Sikhala has endured incarceration for more than 7 months now for demanding justice for Moreblessing Ali who was abducted and later murdered in cold blood by a ZANU-PF thug, Pius Jamba.

The battle against lawyers must be thwarted in its infancy. Job Sikhala was arrested whilst representing the Ali family. He was both the family spokesperson and lawyer who led a successful search for Moreblessing Ali. We demand justice for all political prisoners. Rest in peace Thulani Maseko, your blood shall water the freedom tree. Maseko was shot in the presence of his wife and children after the King had given a stern warning to those who were advocating for the democratization of eSwatini.

Babes Wodumo Reflects On Difficult Start To 2023

Musician Babes Wodumo has not had the best start to 2023 following the untimely passing of her husband Mandla “Mampintsha” Maphumulo on Christmas eve.

While her family were still trying to adjust to their new normal, her mother-in-law, Zamanguni Gumede, passed away in January after suffering a minor stroke.

Gumede had been admitted to hospital before her son became ill and her health is said to have worsened after his passing.

Her funeral took place at L Hall KwaMashu on Saturday, January 21, and the singer and her family, the Simelanes, were in attendance.

Wodumo shared a video of herself holding her son, commonly known as Sponge, on Mampintsha’s Facebook page. She is dressed in black and can be heard singing a church hymn.

“Past few weeks have been a lot for me … Syabonga Nkosi ngokusigcine kuze kufike la, Syabonga ngokusilondoloza … If it was not for ukukholwa kwam ngabe asikho la …” she wrote on her caption.

Loosely translated, this means: “Thank you Lord for keeping us until this point. Thank you for keeping us … if it was not for my faith we would not be here.”

According to a report by Daily Sun, during her speech at the funeral Wodumo revealed that she had carried the costs of her mother-in-law’s funeral.

This comes after she extended an olive branch to Gumede, who she had a rocky relationship with over the years.

Wodumo’s post was filled with comments of people praising her for her actions and many offering her words of support during her trying times.

Zimbabweans Tamper With Mental-Health As Witchcraft

By Dr Masimba Masimba| Zimbabwe now limps under a heavy frenzy of spiritualism and strong belief of witchcraft. Sadly Zimbabweans of all walks have taken witchcraft seriously. So many things which happens are now attributed to witchcraft.
If you get rich your community will explain your riches as use of some witchcraft associated ritual(kuromba).
If any person dies no matter what was his ailment he is said to have been bewitched. The most painful thing is that any deaths in the family or in the village the oldest person in that village is blamed and accused of witchcraft. According to the mindset of many people in Zimbabwe the most ugly old and dark in complexion are always the perfect suspects.
It is a sad situation to see people being dragged to a corner or brought before an angry crowd accused of being responsible for bringing the misfortune which is upon the village.
It is sad because Zimbabweans from ministers to a man in the street believe in witchcraft or getting money from some supernatural powers.
If anyone gets old and starts to hallucinate people are quick to say that person is a witch.
Hallucinations are experiences of perceptual force that are experienced in the absence of any actual external stimulus. They are generally resistant to voluntary control. Whilst traditionally associated with mental disorder they are now known to be common in the general population. They not infrequently have spiritual/religious content. But to a random Zimbabwean this condition is turned and the person is labelled a witch.
Spiritual experiences, including religious and mystical experiences, include a wide range of experiences, amongst which are perceptual phenomena such as hallucinations, which are of spiritual/religious significance.
Many old people are subjected to cruel torture they are tricked into confirming the witchcraft they are not aware of.

Everything which is not understood by a Zimbabwean it is given a spiritual definition. We might define spiritual experiences as in some way involving a relationship with the transcendent. Unfortunately Such experiences are necessarily subjective. We cannot know about them unless the person having them is willing and able to attempt to describe them. But sadly there are fake prophets who who pretend to explain hallucinations. Both the experiences themselves, and any written or verbal account of them necessarily involve interpretation, and this interpretation is vested in the witch doctor or a prophet. Experience is not separable from interpretation. From the very time of having the experience onwards, prior assumptions about the world, including spiritual/religious assumptions, both shape the experience and become incorporated in accounts of it.
People in Zimbabwe have failed to be themselves they want someone to interpret.
The concept of revelation generally includes some idea of communication with the Divine – whether directly or via some intermediary such as a saint, angel, or other spiritual being. Communities now stampede to get a spiritual clarification of some mysteries or dreams or literally want to know more about their future. Revelation or spiritual proclamations may be public, and thus shared with a community of faith, or else private and of significance only to the individual concerned. When it occurs by way of voices and visions, revelatory experience has usually, historically, been considered in some way or another as ‘supernatural’ or miraculous.
This mentality of some sort of super powers in the beyond world has resulted in many Zimbabweans running to the spiritual persons for revelation or clarification. There is no event in life which is not explained spiritually. This is a belief which has divided and destroyed families and relations.
The fake prophets and witch doctors have made Zimbabwe a nation under thousands blankets of paganism.
Old ladies and old men with dementia are dragged and paraded in-front t of communities and crowds accused of witchcraft.
Those suffering from dementia or mental health are all presented as candidates for witchcraft.
Many people who are accused of witchcraft turn to be suffering from dementia. Their lives are turned upside down and are left to be labelled as witches.
Some because of mental health say a lot of things which are confused as confession. Spiritual highs and mental breakdowns are both products of the same evolved brain system granting us the power to transform.
Dementia is a disorder which manifests as a set of related symptoms, which usually surfaces when the brain is damaged by injury or disease or by age. The symptoms involve progressive impairments in memory, thinking, and behavior, which negatively affects a person’s ability to function and carry out everyday activities. Aside from memory impairment and a disruption in thought patterns, the most common symptoms include emotional problems, difficulties with language, and decreased motivation. The symptoms may be described as occurring in a continuum over several stages. Consciousness is not affected. social relationships in general.A diagnosis of dementia requires the observation of a change from a person’s usual mental functioning and a greater cognitive decline than what is caused by normal aging. People who suffer from dementia are the ones who suffer more from accusations of witchcraft.
A story is told of a prophet who interpreted what a patient was seeing. He had seen a moon and explained that there will be a good time ahead. When he snapped out of his psychosis one night with a sudden realisation: the giant cross he saw covering the Moon, which he previously interpreted as a clear sign of impending catastrophe, was actually a visual illusion caused by the wire screen outside his hospital window.But the interpretation by these prophets is catastrophic. They will accuse the patient of witchcraft. Or that he has been bewitched.
The prophets claim that by virtue of their uninterrupted contact with forces that other people cannot perceive they then are the only ones who are able to see our future. But having seen and witnessed similar accounts of this nonsense by prophets the visions and revelations are far from unique.
Some prophets feel so close to God, believe to be inspired by His Spirit that in a sense they think that they are God. Some prophets claim to see the future, plan the Universe, save mankind; th utterly and completely immortal.
What is going on with our country with our people. These prophets must never be allowed to practice.
Many people are accused of being witches because they have worked hard and they have become rich. People do not have any explanation of wealth so they just say(munhu akaromba) meaning one has voodoo or juju
Unfortunately the man who cursed Zimbabwe should be dead. You will see the elite of the country believing that they will be rich by prayer. Some believe that they will be rich by using voodoo. No wonder why our industrial buildings are turned into churches.
The most knee shaking thing is when a person is accused of witchcraft because he has lost his mind. Pressure is piled on him so that he utters some form of confession.
It is natural that people do suffer from dementia due to age. Zimbabweans persecute the old and the mentally ill accusing them of witchcraft.
There are some social media YouTube stations who make money out of broadcasting and parading the vulnerable as witches.
Zimbabwe laws on witchcraft are governed by the Witchcraft Suppression Act. This Act is called the Witchcraft Suppression Act, 1957. The Act was amended so as to make it an offence for a person who pretends to exercise supernatural powers, to impute the cause of certain occurrences to another person; and to provide for incidental matters.- THE amendment of the Witchcraft Suppression Act has been welcomed as resonating with Zimbabwean culture and tradition. But this has opened doors to total abuse of the vulnerable. The new Act has become the free ticket to abuse of people suffering from mental health. 
The new Act that took effect in July 2014 is a culmination of years of intense negotiations, now recognises that there is, indeed, the practice of witchcraft that had been deliberately downplayed by the successive colonial governments. Traditionalists say the amendments show that the country was finally waking up to calls from the people who felt the Witchcraft Suppression Act was stalling the genuine development of African culture in the country. It has become a norm that people who do not understand the effects of mental illness accuse the afflicted of witchcraft. 
Until the amendment, it was a criminal offence to brand anyone a witch or wizard or to accuse someone of meddling in the supernatural, even where there was tangible evidence. This had given communities some sanity until the amendment.
The amended sections read: “Whoever accuses a person of witchcraft means to indicate that the person (is possessed by a spirit or) used non-natural means (witch-finding) to cause death, injury, disease or inability in any person. “Any person who engages in any practice knowing that it is commonly associated with witchcraft, shall be guilty of engaging in a practice commonly associated with witchcraft if having the intention to cause harm to any person. “Such practice inspires in the person against whom it was directed, a real fear or belief that harm will occur to that person or any member of his or her family, and be liable to a fine not exceeding level ten or imprisonment for a period not exceeding five years or both.” 
To an extent the witchcraft act as amended supports the idea that witches are real. This gives the fake prophets to accuse the vulnerable without impunity. 
In the new amendments the spoken words shall not constitute an act of witchcraft for the purpose of this section, unless accompanied by or used in connection with other conduct commonly associated with witchcraft. “For the avoidance of doubt, it is declared that any person who assists another person to commit the crime of engaging in a practice commonly associated with witchcraft, by giving advice or providing any substance or article to enable that person to commit the crime, shall be liable to be charged as an accomplice to the crime.
This section make it clear that social media led by YouTube activists do breach the law every time. They should be arrested. 
The amendment also criminalises the hiring of witch hunters an d those convicted will be fined or jailed for periods of between one and five years. Analysts said it was good that the new amendment disqualifies murder, assault or any other crimes against an accused as it could be used to mete undue punishments on people before they could be tried in the courts of law. 
While amending the witchcraft suppression Act was a giant step in recognising the cultural belief of the majority of the people in the country it has give unscrupulous people to take advantage of the vulnerable. As custodians of the country’s culture, we should see the amendment as a step in the right direction towards asserting our culture that has been trampled upon by successive colonial governments, but there are notorious people who take the amendment as a weakness. The government must deal firmly with bogus traditional healers, exorcists and witch-hunters or tsikamutandas.it is sad that the amendments made to the Act now recognises that witchcraft exists and was in practice in the country. It must be appreciated that there is the recognition of witchcraft as a social phenomenon that is in practice in the country and that it should never be recognised in the negative sense but also in the positive.
We are in the quandary because it is correct that by rejecting the existence of witchcraft, whites managed to destroy one of the tenets of African traditional beliefs as a way of disenfranchising the blacks of their religious bedrock,” said one analyst. Many Zimbabweans have been pressing for the amendment of the Witchcraft Suppression Act so that the country could recognise the existence of this phenomenon which was made illegal by colonial governments. It now remains to be seen whether the amended Act would bring out or not, some of the traditional values that have been suppressed for many decades under the colonial Witchcraft Suppression Act for the good of the society.
What we see now is the total abuse of the law along with its vulnerable people it is meant to protect.
We should realise that certain types of mental disorder and certain types of religious experience are alike attempts at reorganisation. The difference lies in the outcome. Where the attempt is successful and some degree of victory is won, it is commonly recognised as religious experience. Where it is unsuccessful or indeterminate, it is commonly spoken of as ‘insanity’.
We should know that Witchcraft, is a perceived facility to summon evil spirits and demons to do harm to others, this is linked to religion to the extent that the medieval Church had powers to punish those who dabbled in magic and sorcery. Its priests were able to exorcise those who had become possessed by malign spirits. And in our African culture the witch was punished by death or some form of torture.
It is sad that I’m this day and age many people still believe that witchcraft, rather than the workings of God’s will, offered a more convincing explanation of sudden and unexpected ill-fortune, such as the death of a child, bad harvests, or the death of cattle. Witch-hunting became an obsession in some parts of the country and many people have been made to believe it.
Colonial Parliament passed the Witchcraft Act which defined witchcraft or accusing another of witchcraft as a crime punishable by imprisonment.
Formal accusations against witches who are usually poor, elderly women has reached a peak in Zimbabwe and it must be stopped.
Many people in Zimbabwe now suffer from mental health. In their suffering they either become spiritual leaders or may be accused of witchcraft.
Many spiritual gatherings are led by unstable minds.
Many people have been accused of witchcraft by the finger of the mentally unwell.
The country is rolling very fast towards self destruction.
Mental health must be taken seriously and treatment must be recommended.

UN Condemns Assassination Of Eswatini Human Rights Lawyer

“They have intended to hurt us, to break our spirit, our moral strength and crush our resilience so that we succumb to their evil desires.” Excerpts from an open letter from prison written by Thulani Maseko in 2015.

We express our pain and outrage at the brazen assassination of renowned human rights lawyer, Thulani Maseko who was gunned down at point-blank range, in front of his wife and children at his home in Luhleko, Mbabane, on the evening of January 21, 2023. This atrocious, cowardly and cold-blooded act came a few hours after King Mswati had issued ‘stern warnings’ to those calling for democratic reforms in the country, and that his hired mercenaries would deal with them.

At the time of his death, Maseko was a senior member of Lawyers for Human Rights Swaziland, and chairperson of the Multi-Stakeholder Forum, a convergence of various stakeholders calling for constitutional reforms in Eswatini. As one of the founding members of SouthernDefenders, Maseko made an immense contribution to the advancement of justice and human rights not only in Eswatini but throughout the Southern Africa region. He has carried out several fact-finding missions to countries like Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Malawi where he reported on the deterioration of civic space in the region.

“A staunch believer in the rule of law and constitutionalism, Maseko used his professional legal skills to advocate for democratic reforms and peaceful transition. It is deeply saddening that his work and selfless dedication has been repaid in such a ruthless and callous act.”, said Professor Adriano Nuvunga, Vice-Chairperson of SouthernDefenders.

In Eswatini, many will attest that Maseko persistently preached the message of peace and love. In the face of great adversity, Maseko remained steadfast in the fight for freedom and justice, courageously raising awareness of the injustices suffered by the people of Eswatini. It is deeply saddening that he has paid the ultimate price with his life in this gruesome and callous manner.

While the government of Eswatini issued a statement condemning the murder of Maseko and its intention to investigate, SouthernDefenders asserts that, given the political environment, only an independent investigation can ensure that those responsible for the assassination of Maseko and many others brutally injured and killed are brought to justice and their families rightfully compensated. We, therefore, call on SADC, the African Union, and the international community to hold the leadership of King Mswati III accountable for the violence that continues to be meted against the people of Eswatini, merely for advocating for their recognized fundamental human rights, including political participation.

We are gravely concerned that the killing of Maseko signifies an increasingly dangerous deterioration of the political crisis in Eswatini. It is terrifying to observe the monarch clamp down on the people it is meant to serve and protect. Eswatini as a member of SADC and signatory to its Treaty is bound to uphold Article 4 of the Treaty which explicitly states that the principles guiding the acts of its members are human rights, democracy and the rule of law. Article 5 of the Treaty further requires all states to promote and defend peace and security. SouthernDefenders reminds Eswatini that as a member state of SADC, its government should comply with the principles and guidelines to which the region is bound. The state of affairs in Eswatini is a clear reflection of the failure of the country’s leadership to defend and maintain peace, security and transparency for its citizens. SADC cannot continue to stand by and watch.

We wish to express our heartfelt condolences to Thulani Maseko’s wife Tanele, their children, the Maseko family, and the human rights community in Eswatini. We reassert our support for and uncompromising solidarity with the people of Eswatini in their continued quest for democracy. We call on the greater Africa and its friends to stand in solidarity with us on behalf of Maseko. His unshaken commitment to the achievement of justice and freedom will be our beacon for all time.

We strongly urge the Eswatini government to:

*Immediately allow for an internationally supported, thorough, independent and expeditious investigation into the circumstances of the killing of Thulani Maseko and others killed since 2021, to ensure justice and full accountability.
* Respect, protect and promote the rights of all under the jurisdiction of Eswatini to freedom of expression, association, peaceful assembly and political participation even if they hold opposing views.
*Release all political prisoners and refrain from the excessive use of force to disperse protestors and refrain from the arbitrary arrest, detention, harassment or intimidation of pro-democracy activists and others expressing opposing views.
*Immediately end the violent rhetoric against pro-democracy activists and human rights defenders.
*Immediately allow for an inclusive and genuine political dialogue to usher in a democratic dispensation in Eswatini.

Man Killed For Proposing Love To Minor

By A Correspondent- A 31 year old man was hauled to court for allegedly killing a man who had pr0p0sed l0ve to a 15-year-old girl he stays with.

Obvious Matake was not asked to plead when he appeared before Harare magistrate Evelyn Mashavakure.

was advised to approach the High Court for bail application since he is facing a third schedule offence.

He will be back in court on March 1 pending finalisation of investigations.

It is the State’s case that sometime in December last year, the now deceased pr0p0sed l0ve to Rutendo Zinyama, who stays with Matake.

The court heard that Rutendo is the daughter of the deceased’s girlfriend, Mazamanga Elizabeth.

It is alleged that Rutendo told Matake that the deceased had pr0p0sed love to her.

This did not go down well with Matake, who told Rutendo to pretend as if she had accepted his pr0p0sal.

It is further alleged that Matake told Rutendo to lurǝ the deceased into her r00m.

The deceased agreed and entered Rutendo’s r00m. He started undrǝss!ng her, and Matake and Tashinga Mhungu, who is still on the run, budged into the room. It is alleged that Matake and Mhungu accused the man of slǝǝp!ng with the girl’s mother and her at the same time.

They started assaulting him with sticks and bottles.

It is alleged that they took about two hours assaulting the deceased telling him that they wanted to teach him a lesson.

After the long attack, Matake and Mhungu carried the now deceased, who could no longer walk, and dumped him at the cemetery.

He was found lying writhing in agony and was rushed to hospital.

It is alleged that on January 10, his health deteriorated and he was rushed to the hospital by his wife, but he died upon admission.

Matake fled when he saw the police approaching him for the first time, despite them firing a warning shot.

He was later apprehended and detained.

Matake is an ex-convict and the State submitted that he has an unquenchable thirst to commit crime, hence he should not be granted bail.

Meanwhile in another matter, a 37-year-old man also appeared in court facing murder charges.

George Hungwe is being accused of killing a fellow reveller during an altercation.

It is alleged that on December 31 last year, the now deceased bought a bottle of whisky at a shebeen and took another bottle of whisky belonging to another patron and vanished.

The court heard that other patrons followed him to his place and accused him of stealing whisky.

They took him back to the shebeen where he had a misunderstanding with Hungwe, who owns a pool table at the same premises.

It was stated that Hungwe assaulted the man and left him lying on the ground.

The following day, the body of the man was found hanging from the window with a deep cut on the left thigh and foot.

Investigations led to Hungwe’s arrest.

Hungwe denied the charges in court.

“Yes, I understand the charges, but how it transpired is different from what actually happened,” he said.

The magistrate advised him to wait for trial.

Essel Zinhiva appeared for the State.

Prominent Pakistani Human Rights Activist Shot Dead Inside High Court

A prominent Pakistani lawyer and a renowned human rights activist was shot dead by his colleague inside the high court in the north-western city of Peshawar. Police said the assassin believed the victim was involved in the murder of his father.

Abdul Latif Afridi, 79, a vocal critic of the powerful military and a former president of the Pakistan’s Supreme Court Bar Association. He was shot from close range by a colleague dressed in a judicial robe.

“We have arrested the attacker immediately after the attack,” police said. The suspect was identified as Adnan Sami Afridi, a junior lawyer distantly related to late Afridi. He shot the victim six times in the chest and did not flee after the attack. According to police there was a case pending against deceased Afridi alleging his connection in the murder of the father of the attacker.

Abdul Latif Afridi, who served as a legislator in the national assembly from 1997 to 1999, was declared dead at a nearby hospital minutes after the attack.

Osama Malik, a leading Human rights lawyer, told OCCRP that “Afridi’s killing, in broad daylight, within court premises, has shocked the legal fraternity. It is a monumental loss for human rights activists, lawyers and all supporters of democratic norms.”

“He was a mentor to lawyers like me, and we learned a lot from him every time we got the opportunity to meet him,” Malik said. Afridi’s murder is a blow to the country’s human rights activists community, he added.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the killing, saying that Afridi was “a seasoned jurist and a brave politician who was known for his righteousness.”

CCC Female Members Fondled In Prisons Van

By A Correspondent- Lawyers representing 25 members of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) who were arrested last week in Harare’s Budiriro suburb have accused the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services wardens of transporting female prisoners in the same van with male prisoners who are not members of the party, which resulted in the females being fondled along the way.

The lawyers, Wilbert Mandinde, Kudzai Kadzere and Chris Mhike added that one of the accused persons acquired the COVID-19 virus while in prison and has been isolated for 10 days.

Harare magistrate Yeukai Dzuda ordered the State to investigate the abuse and bring the report to court by Friday.

Meanwhile, the defence filed the accused persons’ bail applications.

But the State said the accused might join their colleagues to commit similar offences if released on bail.

The defence insisted that bail was a constitutional right and the accused persons’ liberty must be preserved. They also submitted that the State failed to provide reasons for denying the opposition members bail.

The matter was postponed to today for bail application continuation.

Allegations are that on January 14, 2023, the accused persons responded to an invitation for a meeting at Budiriro MP Costa Machingauta’s house.

Last Saturday, the activists who were dressed in their party regalia gathered at Machingauta’s house where they chanted CCC party slogans.

It is State’s case that ZRP Budiriro received a tip off that the accused were gathered illegally and went to investigate.

“Upon arrival at the scene of crime, the police observed that the accused’s conduct was disturbing the peace of a section of members of the public. The police ordered the accused persons to disperse, but they resisted leading to their arrest. The accused had no lawful excuse to act in the manner they did,” the State submitted.

Mwonzora To Beat Chamisa In 2023, Own Words

MDC-T president Douglas Mwonzora says he will win the 2023 Presidential election with a 66 percent winning margin.

Speaking on Zimpapers Television Network (ZTN) programme, The Chase, on Thursday, Mwonzora also claimed that his party has a membership of over 500 000. He said:

I am going to contest for the presidency of Zimbabwe, come election time. I am contesting not with the intention to accompany others but with the intention to win.

We are going to garner 66 percent of the Presidential vote, record it, we are going to garner 66 percent.

Mwonzora said the win percentage margin is based on research his team did. He said:

I asked them to do research on the political strategy and should it work, and that is a critical assumption as well, it should generate such a vote.

Since Mwonzora took over the MDC-T presidency in 2020, the party has failed to win a single local government or a parliamentary seat in by-elections held since March 2022.

In the 2018 presidential election, MDC-T candidate Thokozani Khuphe managed just 45 573 votes equivalent to 0.95 percent.

MDC Alliance candidate Nelson Chamisa garnered 44.93 percent of the votes, while ZANU PF candidate President Mnangagwa polled 2 460 463 translating to 51.48 percent of the total votes cast.

Chamisa Deputy In Trust Funds Theft Storm

By- The Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) deputy President Welshman Ncube has been dragged to the Law Society of Zimbabwe (LSZ) by Vice-President Phelekezela Mphoko’s son, Siqokoqela for allegedly stealing trust funds.

The state media report that the Mphokos are accusing the opposition leader of squandering part of the US$2,9 million they got as shares from Choppies Enterprises after they were bought out of the company.

The matter is still pending before the courts.
According to summons filed at the Bulawayo High Court under case number HC 2906/19, the Mphokos want an order directing Prof Ncube to pay them about US$1,5 million being the outstanding balance of the money they received as shares from Choppies including a five percent interest calculated from January 16, 2019, to the date of full payment.
In papers before the court, Prof Ncube was cited as a defendant.
In a new twist to the legal wrangle, Siqokoqela wrote to LSZ appealing to the regulatory body of lawyers in the country to compel Prof Ncube to produce bank statements from his law firm with reference to funds he received under trust from Choppies Enterprises on their behalf.
Prof Ncube of Mathonsi Ncube Law Chambers represented the Mphokos before they ditched him for Mr Zibusiso Ncube of Ncube and Partners.
In his letter dated 17 January 2023, Siqokoqela said Prof Ncube, by virtue of being an officer of the law, breached the trust of the attorney and client in violation of the ethics of the legal profession.
Siqokoqela said Prof Ncube confirmed to him that he received on his behalf, the full amount from Choppies Enterprises.
Upon request, he (Prof Ncube) only paid me US$280 000 of my 25,5 percent shares from the amount transferred to Mathonsi Ncube Law Chambers trust account,” he stated in his letter.
Siqokoqela said Prof Ncube, while acting in his capacity as their attorney under a contract of mandate and having separately been contracted to do so in a written addendum to a settlement agreement signed between the Mphokos and Choppies on January 11, 2019, received the money.
He said as per the agreement, Prof Ncube was supposed to get US$100 000 for his legal services.
“Despite demand, Welshman Ncube has failed, neglected, and refused to pay me. I have also taken this matter to the High Court in Bulawayo and the matter under case number HC2906/19 is awaiting trial,” he said.
“I am appealing to the Law Society of Zimbabwe to compel Welshman Ncube to produce bank statements with reference to the funds under trust from Choppies Enterprises on my behalf in terms of the laws of the country.”
Siqokoqela said at the time of receiving US$2, 9 million from Choppies Enterprise, Prof Ncube was their family lawyer between January and February 2019 before they had a fallout.
“At all material times, I was a 25,5 percent shareholder in Nanavac Investments trading as Choppies Zimbabwe. The amount of money received by Ncube in trust involved a transaction where I was pressured to dispose of my shares in exchange for the withdrawal of fake criminal charges against me and my wife,” he said.

The Mphokos exited Botswana-based Nanavac Investments, trading as Choppies Supermarkets Zimbabwe, in January 2019 after offering to be bought out of the company to end a protracted ownership wrangle.
At the height of their legal battles, Choppies Enterprises’ chief executive officer, Mr Ramachandran Ottapathu alleged that the Mphoko family owned only seven percent shareholding.
He said the other 44 percent was given to them to fulfil the indigenisation laws of the country. However, Prof Ncube, who at the time represented the Mphokos, insisted that his clients held 51 percent of the shares.
The fight became messy when Siqokoqela and his wife Nomagugu were dragged to court on charges of interfering with the operations of Choppies Distribution Centre and Choppies Enterprises. This followed accusations that they swindled the businesses of a combined US$80 000.
Siqokoqela, who was a shareholder in the retail business and a non-executive director, was accused of abusing his power to “loot” US$50 000 in cash realised from sales at different supermarkets and replacing it with transfers.
Nomagugu was facing 49 counts of extortion after allegedly bulldozing various Choppies outlets in Bulawayo and demanding cash.
The two matters under case numbers CRB Byo 2431/18 and CRB Byo 2567/18 were subsequently withdrawn.
This was after Mr Ramachandran submitted an affidavit to the prosecution withdrawing charges against Siqokoqela and Nomagugu.

Manhunt For Serial R_apist Targeting Minors

By A Correspondent- Police in Harare have warned residents that there is a serial rapist on the loose in the city’s western suburbs.

The rapist has been breaking into houses and raping girls in Glen View and Budiriro for the past month.

In a statement, Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson in Harare Province, Inspector Luckmore Chakanza, said five similar rape cases have been reported. He said:

Police have noted with concern the number of rape cases involving a man targeting minor children for the past month.

The similarities of the cases in how the perpetrator breaks into houses and rapes minor children shows that it’s the same person.

In five cases recorded, the perpetrator broke into houses, threatens the girls and asks if they have engaged in any sexual activities before.

If the girls say no, he rapes them and then flees.

Insp Chakanza appealed for information that may lead to the arrest of the rapist.
He also implored parents to monitor their children.

Said Insp Chakanza:

We are urging parents and guardians to closely monitor children day and night, especially those who sleep in separate rooms from them.

We are also appealing for information from members of the public that may lead to the arrest of the perpetrators.

Beitbridge Hospital In Flames

By- Fire broke out in the theatre recovery room at Beitbridge District Hospital Monday morning, destroying equipment and infrastructure worth an estimated US$3,5 million and damaging stores in the rest of the 20-room theatre complex.

The hospital is urgently seeking replacement equipment and stores from the provincial hospital in Gwanda so that it can resume work quickly. It normally carries out an average of five small theatre operations a day, including around 30 Caesarian deliveries a month.
The 140-bed hospital is a referral centre for nearly 300 000 residents under the town and the surrounding rural area of the district.
In addition, it caters for close to 15 000 people in transit through the Beitbridge border post daily and scores of patients from neighbouring Gwanda, Mberengwa and Mwenezi districts. The hospital sees 350 babies delivered each month.
Beitbridge District Medical Officer Dr Lenos Samhere said they had sent a list of their requirements to Gwanda for urgent deployment of equipment.
“The situation is very bad, we are now just like an ordinary clinic without a theatre,” said Dr Samhere.
“So, as a stop gap measure we are mobilising equipment from the provincial hospital in Gwanda so that we may in the interim use the small theatre in our out-patients department to handle critical cases.
“With the help of other local technocrats from the Public Works Department, we are investigating the cause of the fire and compiling a bill of quantities on what we would need to get the theatre working again.”
He said besides the theatre equipment and the infrastructure being destroyed, most of the consumables in the 20-room theatre complex were damaged by the smoke.
No one was injured since the medical staff was still preparing the facility ahead of scheduled procedures.
The operating theatre nurse who was the first to notice the fire, Sister Patience Bere, was busy preparing for surgery when she saw some smoke coming from the recovery room.
“I rushed to inspect the origins of the smoke and saw that it was coming from one of the electrical beds in the recovery room. I alerted the hospital management who then called in the fire services department who contained the fire. Fortunately, some patients who had come for surgery were still outside the building and it was easy to move them to a safer place,” she said.
Beitbridge’s Head of Emergency and Fire Services, Mr George Maseko said the cause of the fire was still under investigations although they strongly suspected it was due to an electrical fault.
He said when the firefighters arrived the whole building was engulfed with smoke and it was difficult for them to see where the fire was coming from. But after breaking windows and doors to one of the rooms they saw the source and moved in fast.
“It took us less than seven minutes to contain the fire after picking up its source. However, the theatre recovery room which had several items of delicate equipment was extensively damaged.
“We had to strategically manage the fire so that it could not spread to other 19 rooms within the theatre. You will note that most equipment and consumables were adversely affected by the heat and the smoke.”
The local head of Department of Public Works, Mr Admore Tlou, said they had started working on assessing the structural damages to the building.
He said the fireproof ceiling in the recovery room where the fire had started had slowed down the spread of the fire across the whole buildings. Damaged equipment had already been moved from the theatre building.
A resident of Kwalu 1 suburb, Mr Innocent Mudau said it was critical for the Beitbridge Municipality and the local civil protection committee health cluster to engage their counterparts in Musina over prospects of taking some critical cases for operations south of the Limpopo River.
“We are appealing to authorities to liaise with their colleagues in Musina considering that they are just 12km away. Transporting patients could be easier compared to driving for over 300km to the next facility in Bulawayo,” he said.
Ms Veronica Moyo of Vhembe View Suburb appealed to community members to mobilise resources and facilitate the urgent transport of those patients already at the hospital who need to undergo surgeries.

Mnangagwa Closes 300 NGOs

By- The government has deregistered 291 private voluntary organisations for not submitting their annual returns to the authorities.

Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Minister Paul Mavima told the state media that the PVOs were deregistered for different reasons but mainly because of their failure to submit audited financial statements.

He said:
The reasons for deregistration vary from one organisation to another, but basically, most of them failed to submit the needed annual returns as mandated by the Act.
Typically, you will find that on rare occasions there are issues of national security, but those are very rare.
The main problem was people biting off more than they could chew.
People just register but they do not deliver on their mandate, and also some cannot keep up with the requirements for reporting, and therefore they end up being deregistered.
For example, they say they want to provide services to vulnerable people, maybe children, maybe elderly people.
They bring brilliant ideas, but on implementation, they find that they cannot get the resources that are needed and they cannot keep up with the requirements.
That is to say bring the report on an annual basis, and bring audited financial statements.
As a result, they fail to comply, let alone deliver on the mandate so they end up being deregistered because they have not fulfilled the requirements for registration.
The registrar of the PVOs had earlier announced the cancellation of the certificates of the delisted organisations for not complying with what the Act required. It said in a statement:
The Registrar of Private Voluntary Organisations in conjunction with the Private Voluntary Organisation Board has noted with concern that a number of registered private voluntary organisations are not complying with the prescribed expectations of their operations, as outlined in terms of the Private Voluntary Organisation Act (Chapter 17:05).
Accordingly, the Registrar of Private Voluntary Organisations and the Private Voluntary Organisation Board have therefore deregistered 291 organisations that were found to be non-compliant with the provisions of the Private Voluntary Organisation Act.
