Real Mallorca coach Javier Aguirre has hailed Tino Kadewere, describing the Zimbabwean striker as a player with good character.
Kadewere finally made his eagerly-awaited LaLiga debut, when he replaced Lee Kang-in in the 82nd minute of Mallorca’s 0-2 loss to Getafe on Friday.
The 26-year old, who became the first ever Zimbabwean to feature in a Spanish top-flight game, had an injury setback after arriving from French Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyon on a season-long loan.
Asked about the Highfield-bred striker’s LaLiga debut in his post-match interview, Aguirre said: “Well, Tino (Kadewere) had a serious injury. When he arrived, his parent club, the French team (Lyon), did not want him to have surgery, but he had a rather ugly private affair and he got ahead.”
“He is a boy with very good character and today we put him in a 4-4-2 in a position that does not correspond to him, because he is a striker or playmaker. But the little he did I think was in line with the game, neither for better nor for worse.
“But I wait for him and he will give us things. I am very happy with his attitude, which is fundamental. The boy puts a lot of effort into it and he’s going to give us joy,” added Aguirre.- Soccer24 Zimbabwe

Citizens Coalition for Change(CCC) Namibia demands more action from the opposition parties, civil society organizations, human rights defenders, the church, students, and all progressive citizens advocating for the freedom to be administered without fear or favor. It is quite infuriating to continue glimpsing the weaponization of the law by the clueless Harare regime which has failed dismally to put the economy back on the rail.
The residents of Zimbabwe and the globe must amplify their voices by democratically pressuring the autocratic regime to respect the constitution and rule of law. Job Saro Wiwa Sikhala has now endured 201 days in the hell-hole of Chikurubi Maximum Prison. He was denied bail on 12 occurrences, which is clear selective application of the law. The truth of the matter is that ZANU-PF controls the judiciary, they interfere with the judiciary processes compelling the judges to be biased against all voices of dissent. Bail is a constitutional liberty enshrined in the supreme law of the motherland.
Citizens Coalition for Change Rundu Branch Interim Chairperson Simbarashe Ndoda expressed his disgruntlement in the way Job Saro Wiwa Sikhala’s case is being politicised. “The people of Zimbabwe at home and abroad should do more action to ensure that our vibrant and energetic interim Vice Chairperson is released from jail”, Ndoda said. He went on to advise the prison officers to stop abusing Wiwa’s right to health since there are various reports that the prisoner of conscience is being denied access to medical services.
Constitutionalism provides the right to demonstrate against gross incompetence and lack of capacity to better the people’s livelihoods. Citizens should wake up and smell the coffee. We should exercise our constitutional rights to petition and demonstrate our displeasure with the way the democratic space is being shrunken by desperate dictators. Namibia district demands more than we have done before. Let’s show Mr. Mnangagwa our capacity to confront to achieve freedom, equality, and justice through democratic means.
We are cognizant of the fact that ZANU-PF intends to break Wiwa’s revolutionary commitment and dedication to fight for democracy in Zimbabwe. He is in jail since 14 June 2022 just because he was Moreblessing Ali’s family lawyer who made noise until the deceased body was found in a disused well owned by the Chisango family who are bonafide ZANUPF members and activists. Job Sikhala is suffering from suspected colon cancer, we demand his freedom. Criticizing alleged state-sponsored abductions is neither obstruction of justice nor incitement to public violence. It is a just call for the respect of the fundamental basic human right to the sanctity of life.
ZANU-PF perpetrators such as the Nyatsime councillor whose video went viral banning CCC members at Mob’s funeral. He was on record inciting public violence which resulted in the abduction and torture of 20 women at Moreblessing Ali’s homestead. The councillor openly declared the Nyatsime area a ‘No Go Area’ for Citizens Coalition for Change. He is walking scot-free when our leader is languishing in jail for defending the vulnerable. Abton Mashayanyika, Owen Mudha Ncube etc were threatening violence worse than that of 2008 which left thousands dead and maimed.
Abton Mashayanyika said Chamisa and his supporters must be killed, but no arrest has been effected by the partisan police force which takes instructions from the shake-shake building resulting in the selective administration of the law. We saw Hon Jasmine Tofa with broken arms, a victim of state-sponsored violence in Matobo. Known perpetrators are still roaming the streets threatening more violence to the opposition, this must be resisted with equal measure. We demand an end to this lawfare. Citizens must be equal before the law. Only CCC activists are jailed for inciting violence when the real authors of violence are walking free, we need to peacefully defy this!
Moreblessing Ali is yet to be buried since June because her family lawyer is still incarcerated on trumped-up charges. The extinct was gruesomely butchered for exercising her freedom of assembly and association with the people’s favorite political behemoth, the Citizens Coalition for Change led by the eloquent change champion in-chief President Advocate Nelson Chamisa. We demand justice for Moreblessing Ali, the family continues to be tormented by the state which tried in vain to bury Moreblessing Ali’s remains without the consent of the immediate family. This is quite pathetic and beyond Satanism! We need new leaders in Zimbabwe for a better lifestyle.
If we don’t take peaceful action against this attempt to silence voices that speak audibly against the abuse of human freedoms, it will be a mammoth task to defend our vote in the impending watershed elections sometime in July or August this year. It needs courage, nerve, and mettle to defeat totalitarianism hence the dire need to embrace dangerous freedom against the perpetual incarceration of Job Saro Wiwa Sikhala. Our Interim Vice Chairperson needs our physical, moral, and financial support for him to be released from jail.
There are a lot of peaceful avenues for putting political and diplomatic pressure on the satanic Harare cabal. It is now imperative to draw this matter to regional, continental, and international bodies that deal with human rights and fundamental freedoms. SADC should stop sympathizing with the so-called revolutionary parties to the detriment of the citizenry. African Union, must remind Mr. Mnangagwa that Zimbabwe is a signatory of the African Charter. We need peaceful action that will expose our neighbours who are trying to hoodwink the unsuspecting world.
SADC should denounce this crackdown on the citizens who criticize the abuse of human rights in Zimbabwe before they blame sanctions. ZANU-PF must religiously follow the constitution and constitutionalism. Allow the opposition to criticize corruption, state-sponsored abductions, political violence, long pre-trial detentions, and arbitrary arrests in a purportedly democratic country.

By-The Police (ZRP) has announced the names of people who died in an Inter Africa bus accident on New Year’s eve.
Three people died on the spot when the bus veered off the road and ran over them in Masvingo on New Year’s Eve.
ZRP Masvingo provincial spokesperson, Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa told ZBC News that the deceased are:
1). Mary Gomo (43) from Chihanya village of Zaka;
2). Margaret Chidari (43) and
3). Chelsea Tanatswa Chidari (4) from Fambai Village, Chief Nhema area in Zaka.
The Harare-bound Inter Africa bus veered off the road and hit them at the Nyagambu area near Nhema Clinic in Zaka and killed the three pedestrians on the spot.
The accident is said to have occurred on Saturday morning.
By -CCC deputy chair Job Sikhala has fallen sick in Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison and fears that he might have colon cancer.
The vibrant opposition politician has been in remand prison for almost seven months facing charges of inciting violence.
In a detailed letter released from his prison cell, Sikhala said, “… It is with regret and most unfortunate that I now share with you a personal issue that I have kept to myself for the past three weeks. “It is something that I did not share with anyone and kept for these three weeks. I had kept it to myself for the sake of my children and wife. I know how much it will affect them. I have not been feeling well for the past three weeks.” Sikhala, who is an opposition Citizens Coalition for Change Member of Parliament for Zengeza West, said the pain if getting worse everyday. “A pain that started mildly on the left side of my abdomen has steadily grown to be extremely heavy and excessive by each passing day. There is some painful strike that exudes itself from the left side which I don’t really understand and do not know what is it. I pray that it is not colon cancer. It is worrying me very seriously.” He said the pain started soon after he vomited in prison sometime ago. “Since the day I vomited and had a ceaseless running stomach, some time ago, which was widely reported, the prison authorities refused to allow my doctor to attend to me. This is despite the fact that my doctors came several times in the company of my lawyers Beatrice Mtetwa and Doug Coltart. Since then, I have stopped requesting the permission of my doctor to attend to me. The pain is severe during the night especially when I sleep by that left side. I ask all of you dear Zimbabweans to pray for me to be healed of this pain. There is nothing beyond the cure of God.” Prison authorities were unavailable for comment as they did not respond to messages sent to them on Sunday. Sikhala also bemoaned the deteriorating democratic space in Zimbabwe saying President Emmerson Mnangagwa is coming with oppressive laws that are worse than those that were used by the colonial master, Ian Douglas Smith. -VOA

2023 elections will NOT be free but can be the next best thing – the LAST rigged elections – if we play our cards right
By Wilbert Mukori | “This (2023) year will be that year Zimbabweans become free, happy and prosperous. This time Citizens will WIN BIG and celebrate BIG”. Wrote Nelson Chamisa on twitter.
If anything is certain, it is that Zanu PF is blatantly rigging the 2023 elections just as the party has rigged past elections. Chamisa and his CCC friends are not blind, of course they know that with not even one democratic reform implemented since the 2018 elections, Zanu PF will rig these elections just as readily as they rigged the 2018, 2013, 2008, etc.
Key CCC leaders like Tendai Biti readily admitted the folly of participating in these flawed elections. “Look, you can’t keep on participating in flawed electoral processes that serve to give big benefits to dictators such as Robert Mugabe. Mugabe has perfected the art of winning elections,” Biti told Isaac Mugabi in 2015.
“So, it will be very foolish for the opposition to continue legitimizing these sham elections which don’t deliver. This country will go through a serious economic crisis in 2020 caused by Zanu PF. And yet, this is the only country where a government doesn’t perform, it is encouraged by a super majority in parliament.
“You can’t continue subjecting Zimbabweans to processes where their hopes just get crushed.”
David Coltart, another senior MDC cum CCC leaders concurred with what Biti said but went one step further. He explained why CCC leaders continue to subject Zimbabweans into these flawed election processes only to have their hopes of meaningful democratic change and economic recovery crushed.
“The worst aspect for me about the failure to agree a coalition was that both MDCs couldn’t now do the obvious – withdraw from the (2013) elections,” confessed Coltart in his Book, The Struggle Continues 50 years of Tyranny in Zimbabwe.
“The electoral process was so flawed, so illegal, that the only logical step was to withdraw, which would compel SADC to hold Zanu PF to account. But such was the distrust between the MDC-T and MDC-N that neither could withdraw for fear that the other would remain in the elections, winning seats and giving the process credibility.”
Nelson Chamisa and his CCC friends are hell bent on participating in the 2023 elections, knowing fully well that doing so will give Zanu PF legitimacy, “for fear that the other (opposition parties) would remain in the elections, winning seats”; i.e., greed. So, there it is from the horse’s own mouth, MDC/CCC have failed to implement even one reform these last 22 year and are insisting on participating tin flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy because of greed!
Zanu PF is blatantly rigging these elections and for any Zimbabwean to participate in the flawed and illegal process to give the regime legitimacy is not only insane but those doing so knowingly and out of greed, it is high treason.
Mnangagwa and his Zanu PF cronies are rigging the 2023 elections contrary the regime’s sworn promise to uphold the rule of law and guarantee the rights of all Zimbabweans including the right to a meaningful say in the governance of the country. We cannot stop Zanu PF rigging the elections nor stop the flawed elections going ahead.
Nelson Chamisa and his CCC friends’ claim of winning these flawed elections in just hot air to justify their participation in the flawed process and a smoke screen to hide their greed. We cannot stop CCC participating.
However, what we can do is make sure the whole world knows that without the democratic reforms Zimbabwean elections are flawed and illegal. And that Zanu PF does not get legitimacy from winning rigging elections and CCC does not political credibility from their treasonous greed.
Whilst 2023 elections will not be free, fair and credible they must be the next best thing – the last rigged election. It is within our powers, as citizens of Zimbabwe, to denounce these flawed and illegal elections, deny Zanu PF political legitimacy and force the implementation of the democratic reforms. – SOURCE: zimbabwelight.blogspot.com

By- An unconfirmed number of people have died with over 1000 displaced, in an inferno that gutted their homes in Western Cape.
News24 reports that the fire broke out at the early hours of Sunday, 01 January 2023, ripping Polar Park informal settlement in Philippi.
The City of Cape Town’s fire and rescue spokesperson Jermaine Carelse said the woman sustained fatal burn wounds. Fire crews were alerted to the fire at 02:40. Carelse added:
Several crews were dispatched and the first arriving officer confirmed that numerous structures were burning. More than 50 firefighters battled the blaze, which was brought under control at about 06:00.
Carelse said the cause of the blaze was unknown at this stage.
The chairperson of the Polar Park committee, Teenage Mtiyane, 49, told News24 that the fire started at the deceased woman’s house. He said:
She died inside her house with the gas stove [on] and that is how the fire started and spread. Unfortunately, the wind also played its part in moving the flames to other parts of the community, which has left more than 200 people without [shelter].
There are people who have gone to other provinces for the holidays and have to be informed that their homes were destroyed in the fire.
He added that a lot of the residents lost their stokvel money, food, clothing, documents, and school stationery in the fire.
Humanitarian organisation Gift of the Givers said they received calls from members of the community requesting urgent assistance. The organisation’s Ali Sablay said when they arrived at the scene they discovered it was “worse than what we thought”.
Ali Sablay says they have been responding to calls for assistance since Friday. Said Sablay:
People lost everything. The situation is dire. When people saw the team arriving, they hurried to the vehicles to request help. Many of the mothers got emotional when they started telling us that all their children’s new school clothes and stationery were burnt.
The Gift of the Givers said they would remain on the scene until the full extent of the damage had been assessed.
Carelse said emergency crews and Western Cape police were on the scene conducting mop-up operations.

1. Look For A Reputable Online Store
When you are looking to buy a delta 10 vape, finding a reputable online store that can provide reliable and authentic products is essential. Look out for reviews, customer satisfaction ratings, and whether the store has certifications confirming authenticity.
This will ensure that your vape is top-notch and reliable and won’t leave you with any bad experiences or extra costs. Researching and picking an established retailer will give you peace of mind knowing that you have bought from a trustworthy spot.
2. Compare Prices Between Different Sellers
You must compare prices between different sellers to ensure you get a genuine vape. While sleuthing out the lowest price is always important, there are other factors to consider, such as product reviews and shipping costs.
It’s easy to go with the lowest advertised price, but take a closer look at what’s offered before purchasing. Compare the vapor quality, including smoothness and potency, for more information about how well the product performs. Don’t forget to look up discounts from the sellers; with careful shopping, you can often save even more money and still get an amazing delta 10 vape.
3. Check The Quality Of The Product Images
When shopping for your delta 10 vape, being mindful of the product quality is essential. Check that the images provided are genuine and accurately represent what you’re buying. Check for general product details, the accuracy of resolution and clarity of the images on display, and any marks or labels that indicate a reputable source took them. Careful examination of the image quality effectively ensures authenticity when spotting a real vape.
4. Read Customer Reviews
Knowing whether or not a delta 10 vape is genuine can be critical to ensuring the quality of your experience. Before committing to buying one, it is essential to do thorough research and read customer reviews.
Doing this ensures that you have a reliable source of information to make an informed decision. Pay attention to any red flags in customer reviews and if possible, reach out for more details if you find something suspicious.

5. Contact The Seller If You Have Any Questions
Shopping for a delta 10 vape can be daunting, especially when finding an authentic product. The best way to ensure you get the genuine item is to research the seller you plan on purchasing from.
Contacting them directly with any questions or concerns is always a good idea if you want to confirm their legitimacy. This also gives you an opportunity to get details on the specific type of vape and any special conditions or care instructions that come with it. To spot a genuine delta 10 vape, contact the seller if you have any questions and arm yourself with knowledge beforehand.
What Is Delta 10 Vape Made Of?
Delta 10 vape is a specialty vaping product made with innovative cannabis extract. This form of cannabis extract is created using a fractional distillation process that targets the cannabinoid delta-10-tetrahydrocannabinol.
THC has been identified as having milder effects than traditional THC. These vape products typically contain other organic compounds besides delta 10 THC, such as terpenes and non-psychoactive hemp cannabinoids like cannabidiol.
As with other forms of cannabinoid products, customers should always be aware of their local laws regarding cannabis and its extracts before purchasing and using any form of the vape product.
Is Delta 10 Vape Legal?
Delta 10 vape cartridges, products traditionally isolated from hemp, have become increasingly popular among those looking for a unique cannabinoid experience. Although these products are often marketed as legal, the legality of the product has been put into question in recent months.
Delta 10 is not an approved Hemp Cannabidiol ingredient under federal law, and certain states have issued warnings regarding its sale in their respective jurisdictions. While this doesn’t necessarily declare it illegal, questions remain about its status as a federally regulated product and safety profile.
With more research needed to determine the complete safety and legality of the vape products, users must exercise caution when exploring this new branch of hemp-derived cannabinoids.
How To Use Delta 10 Vape For Optimal Results?
To take advantage of delta 10 vape and get the most out of its effects, starting with a low dosage is best to acclimate oneself to the product. Users can adjust their dosing as desired when they feel comfortable with the dosage.
Before each use, read the instructions on the labeling carefully and ensure that the device is appropriately set up for optimal performance. Additionally, storing all vape materials securely at room temperature, away from anything that may ignite a flame or excessive heat, is essential.
By understanding how to use the vape, users have greater control over their experience to achieve desired results.
Summing It Up
The delta 10 vape benefits make it an attractive option for many people. These benefits include its potency and efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and ability to quickly relieve specific symptoms. Furthermore, its lack of harsh chemical additives makes it a safer alternative to traditional methods of consuming cannabis. With these advantages in mind, it’s no wonder why so many people believe in the vape’s effectiveness and why it has become so popular among both recreational and medicinal marijuana users alike.

-Provincial Chairs from the UZA Youth Wing and Women’s Wing convened a strategy meeting focusing on enterprise planning UZA conducted Provincial Leader Induction Workshops for 341 UZA Provincial leaders.
Looking ahead, we remain fully focused. There is still much to be done to strengthen our party structures and to increase voter registration and citizens engagement.
Our Patriots also have the important task of selecting the leaders that will represent UZA in the 2023 general elections.
Focusing more broadly on Zimbabwe, we are painfully aware that this year, like many before, has been a very difficult year for the majority of Zimbabweans.
Our nation has been plagued by challenges most of which emanate from gross mismanagement; lack of constitutional compliance; failure to adhere to the rule of law; corruption; deteriorating infrastructure; inconsistent delivery of water and electricity; and a failed health delivery system.
Many of these challenges emanate from a leadership vacuum. Our current leaders do not have the national development agenda at heart.
Economic Outlook
The current policy reforms have not improved the economic standing of the country let alone the lives and general wellbeing of the ordinary Zimbabwean.
The majority of our citizens live in abject poverty and have access to only one or two meals a day.
The Covid-19 pandemic worsened the circumstances of many causing untold suffering for Zimbabweans socially, mentally and economically.
School dropouts are on the rise and in particular, young girls including minors are being forced out of school while others are married off. Their plight is exacerbated by increased poverty.
Economic policy reforms that have been implemented by the current government lack cohesion and appear to be disconnected from the real economic challenges bedeviling our nation.
There is a great need for sustainable macroeconomic stabilisation that focuses on comprehensive economic growth and job creation.
Government must adopt a people first approach when coming up with economic policies. UZA will adopt a rights based approach so as to address the basic needs of Zimbabweans.
Our thrust is an empowered society and a human centred approach to development taking into account citizens engagement, gender inclusivity, accountability, environmental sustainability and employment opportunities.
Zimbabwe must once more gain its trade status regionally and internationally as the breadbasket of Southern Africa.
Economic growth should boost industry and innovation and translate to more jobs and prosperous enterprises.
Poverty reduction strategies should not only be on paper and are not to be left as the responsibility of foreigners or NGOs. They should be effectively implemented and felt within communities.
Rule of Law
It is sad that at the close of 2022, our nation is carrying forward injustices against politically connected individuals such as Job Sikhala who today, still is languishing in remand prison despite bail being a Constitutional right.
When the late former President Robert Mugabe was ousted from power many promises were made. Government was said to be turning over a new leaf – but sadly, there still appears to be a partisan approach in the application of justice.
Come 2023, we fear that Zimbabwe will witness the continued persecution of opposition stalwarts.
This persecution will potentially worsen our reputation as a nation. Zimbabwe is a Constitutional democracy.
The current government should walk the talk and stop using state apparatus to settle and score political points against its perceived opponents. The law should not be applied selectively.
Gender Inclusivity
Gender inequalities still exist in Zimbabwe. Structural imbalances are still prevalent in our social, economic and political spheres.
While government has over the years tried to redress these inequalities, the interventions have failed to rectify the existing disparities.
This is why even today in Zimbabwe poverty has a female face. As we head into 2023, it is imperative for government to foster and improve pathways that promote equality and equity.
Our party will ensure the decentralization of primary health care, prioritize infrastructure development and promote women and youth empowerment as we understand that the future is young.
Equality and equity are possible. A priority should be made towards addressing the challenges being faced by women and girls.
UZA is a government in waiting with clear policy objectives for functional social protection systems.
Our approach entails identifying the causes and preventing, alleviating and reducing the risks that plunge our citizens into poverty.
As 2023 begins, it is important for citizens to recognize that a new, better Zimbabwe is a reality and can be achieved this year.
UZA has an integrated national social protection strategy to lift Zimbabweans out of the doldrums of poverty.
UZA Party implores all Zimbabweans not to lose hope and to remain optimistic. Let’s unite and build a better tomorrow.
We envision a prosperous nation where citizens will lead better lives with dignity.
We must remain united and peaceful knowing that Zimbabwe is for all of us.
Let us all exercise our constitutional rights.
Register to vote and vote in the 2023 elections. When we elect responsible and competent leaders, we are assured that Zimbabwe will be properly developed.
The onus is on us as citizens to vote for competency in 2023.
We cannot predict what will come, but what’s certain is that we remain committed to building a strong Zimbabwe with you.
On behalf of the entire UZA leadership, thank you for doing your part to build UZA, the government Zimbabwe has been waiting for.
Together we can build a strong and better Zimbabwe.
By- CCC deputy chairman Job Sikhala has challenged the Zanu PF regime from Chikurubi Maximum security prison.
Writing from the Prison cells on new year’s eve Sikhala said the democratic space has been shrinking in Zimbabwe, reminding of the precolonial era when there were gross human rights violations. We present the letter below:
Beloved Zimbabweans!
Happy New Year Dear Compatriots:
I sincerely congratulate and wish you all, Dear Compatriots, a happy and prosperous 2023. Let us all thank the Almighty God for his grace in taking us all into the new year. We thank you Lord for your eternal love.
Dear Zimbabweans, it is with regret and most unfortunate that I now share with you, a personal issue that I have kept to myself for the past three weeks. It is something that I did not share with anyone and kept to myself for these past 3 weeks. I had kept it to myself for the sake of my children and my wife. I know how much it will affect them.
I have not been feeling well for the past three weeks. A pain that started mildly on the left side of my abdomen has steadily grown to be extremely heavy and excessive by each passing day. There is some painful strike that exudes itself from the left side which I don’t really understand and do not know what it is. I pray that it is not colon cancer. It is worrying me very seriously.
Since the day I vomited and had a ceaseless running stomach, some time ago, which was widely reported, the prison authorities refused to allow my doctor to attend to me. This is despite the fact that my doctors came several times in the company of my lawyers Beatrice Mtetwa and Doug Coltart. Since then, I have stopped requesting the permission of my doctor to attend to me. The pain is severe during the night especially when I sleep by that left side. I ask all of you dear Zimbabweans, to pray for me to be healed of this pain. There is nothing beyond the cure of God.
I know the year 2022, like all the years of the past decade, has been catastrophic to all of us. The economic decay and the suffering of the general masses of our people has reached tragic levels. There has also been:
• closure, completely, of all the democratic space in the country,
• sharp growth of impunity,
• arbitrary arrests
• escalation in human rights abuses, which has resulted in some of us becoming long-term guests at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison in extremely curious circumstances,
• the passage of oppressive laws, similar in nature and context to those administered by Ian Douglas Smith’s Rhodesia and apartheid South Africa.
• The use and application of terror and violence as instruments of political coercion witnessed during the past by-elections, the barring of CCC political races in various places.
Our country is in a crisis!
Freedom of expression has been completely shut down. Any criticism of the government is viciously crushed. What I know is that the world will not allow you to perish on your own dearest Zimbabweans. From the SADC region, voices of reason shall emerge. The African Union, United Nations and all outposts of democracy shall speak out in defense of our people under siege. I understand you might be outside, and I am inside, but our suffering and pain is the same. We are all under attack. What is happening to me today may happen to you tomorrow.
As for me dear compatriots, it is both in the public and world glare that I am going through the persecution of century, over spurious, if not bizarre allegations. It’s now almost seven months and the choreographed script plays on. As I always alluded, I am prepared to be killed.
What I stood for was correct both on earth and in heaven. Moreblessing All was a woman, viciously kidnapped and brutally murdered. I was instructed by her family to be their lawyer. I am proud for having represented their interests to the best of my abilities. If I am killed dear compatriots, I am prepared to meet the fate in defense of values and principles I hold dearly; values of a free and open democratic society, exuding happiness, free of impunity and fear.
Even if I die, dear Zimbabweans, my persecution has taught me two important stations someone should pass through in life to understand and appreciate the true circle of life. One is college and the other is prison. College takes you through the interactive journey of intellectual discourse and acquisition of knowledge to equip you and enable you to cope with the challenges of today and tomorrow. It links you to the consistency of solid acquaintances who will in the future, stand in your corner come rain or sunshine, whatever difficult trial or tribulation, no matter how seemingly insurmountable. It reveals to you that knowledge alone is inadequate if it doesn’t locate within you, humility and empathy. It is a social construct. It links life with the needs and demands of the general masses of the people.
Prison teaches one the injustices and cruelty of the wicked. It opens up the mind to understand how power can be used irresponsibly to inflict maximum pain to the innocent and the powerless. Prison is the uppermost university that taught me that, those who hold power should learn to exercise their authority without an ounce of arrogance, aggression or force. The tough conditions here at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison have taught me to strengthen mastery over emotions. Many leaders tend to be conceited and arrogant when they grow to have power over millions. Many men have faced adversity, but if you truly wish to test the character of a man, give him power and thereafter watch the theatrics.
With respect, prison teaches one to distinguish real and true friends on the one hand and hypocrites on the other. It opened me and exorcised from me some fallacies and falsehoods I had about some people around me. It made discover that my sincere, genuine and eternal friends are the masses and peoples of Zimbabwe, cutting across all classes and professions, domestically and in the diaspora. The passion of their roars and bellows I hear on a daily basis, is amazing and extra-ordinary. A million kisses of love my dearest friends. Your sharing of pain with me is historic.
Genuine friends are seen by the sweat of their efforts, to fight on the side of their cornered friend. The vociferous voices of clamor in every village, township, growth point, town or city in Zimbabwe is being heard echoing every day. Those in all the far corners of the world have demonstrated unmatched support and empathy over the suffering of one their own. Thank you good people!
What does it take to stand with your friend?
The University of Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison has revealed to me treacherous hypocrites, sell outs, colluders with my persecution, opportunists trying to capitalize on the predicament of the moment for cheap political and financial gain from my tormentors. Some wished me dead. I am sick. Please, they must then pray for my death. Some plotted schemes to destroy me by spreading false intelligence given to them by their handlers and are dabbling in rumor-mongering and get into deals to the extent of carrying poisoned food to deliver it with a friendly smile. I am aware of all their shenanigans.
Unjust incarceration also taught me who the real true friends of the people of Zimbabwe are. Nations who stand for the truth and uprightness are seek speaking fearlessly against unjust persecution. I would like to thank them all.
Prison also taught me the role of the progressive and fearless fourth estate in contrast to urging and abetting impunity. Domestically and internationally the voices of the progressives are expounded with clarity.

An Inter Africa bus heading to Harare from Chiredzi veered off the road at Nyagambu area near Nhema Clinic in Zaka and killed three pedestrians on the spot.

Meanwhile, Police have since released the names of the three people who died on the spot in Zaka when a Harare-bound Inter Africa bus veered off the road and hit them yesterday.
Parliament has set up an ad hoc committee to consider the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) preliminary delimitation report.
Zec chairperson Priscilla Chigumba recently presented a preliminary delimitation report to President Emmerson Mnangagwa, who is expected to send the report to Parliament by end of next week.
In a memo dated December 29 written by acting Clerk of Parliament, Hellen Dingane addressed to the Speaker of the National Assembly Jacob Mudenda, Senate president Marble Chinomona, Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly Tsitsi Gezi, deputy President of the Senate, Mike Nyambuya and all members of the Committee on Standing Rules and Orders, Dingane sought authority to set up a committee to consider the delimitation report.
“Following the submission of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) delimitation report to His Excellency the President on December 26, 2022, and the expected tabling of the same report to Parliament on January 6, 2023, authority is sought in terms of Standing Rules and Orders Number 25 of the National Assembly and Standing Orders number 24 of the Senate to appoint an ad hoc committee to analytically consider the said report,” Dingane said.
“The proposed members of the ad hoc committee are Pupurai Togarepi, Dexter Nduna, Kenneth Musanhi, Tsitsi Muzenda, Chido Madiwa, David Parirenyatwa, Musa Ncube, Cuthbert Mpame, Chief Siatabwa Siansali, Prince Sibanda, David Tekeshe, Douglas Mwonzora and Anele Ndebele.”
The proposed 13-member committee is dominated by Zanu PF with 10 members.
The MDC-T is represented by its leader Douglas Mwonzora and Anele Dube, with Prince Dubeko Sibanda the sole representative of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC).
Dingane said the report would be tabled in both Houses on January 6, with the ad hoc committee commencing work on January 7.
“The ad hoc committee will present its report findings and recommendations in both Houses on January 13 and (legislators will) debate the Zec report and recommendations from the ad hoc committee on January 17 and 18.
“The report will be presented to the President on January 19,” Dingane said.
Zec has been under attack multiple times from the opposition CCC for presiding over what it claimed is a flawed delimitation process ahead of polls expected next year.
Opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa has expressed optimism at upstaging the ruling Zanu PF at this year’s harmonized elections.
Posting on Twitter, Chamisa said 2023 was a done deal with a new Zimbabwe now on the horizon.
“It’s a done deal. We are ready for the mandate to lead, govern and turn our Zimbabwe new and great, happy and prosperous,” said Chamisa.
Zimbabwe is due to hold the next harmonized elections in July and the main contest pits Chamisa and Zanu PF’s Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Opposition Transform Zimbabwe (TZ) leader Jacob Ngarivhume has laid into Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) accusing them of neglecting Zengeza West legislator Job Sikhala.
Ngarivhume said the thinking that if they protest against Sikhala’s detention, CCC leader Nelson Chamisa will be arrested and gets locked up until elections is a cheap excuse used not to take bold steps to free the incarcerated legislator.
“Hiding behind the thinking that if we rally for @JobSikhala1 they will arrest our leaders and lock them up until the elections is a cheap excuse to not do the hard thing.
“Our freedoms are under attackOur justice system is under attackOur very existence is under attack @edmnangagwa is able to comfortably go on leave after a disastrous year because he knows Zimbabweans are too pigeon-hearted to do anything!!!,” said Ngarivhume.
Sikhala was recently denied bail for the umpteenth time meaning he has been in remand custody for over six months now.

Even if you’re “not into politics”, the fact that an innocent citizen has been jailed without trial for 200 days must trouble you. We must never normalize persecution that rips apart the fabric of our Constitution. The right to bail & the presumption of innocence are sacrosanct.
DAY 200: @JobSikhala1 was arrested on 14 June. Today marks his 200th day in detention without trial. His persecution is a dark stain on our democracy. The State is delaying his trial because they’re still “investigating.” He must be released on bail!

By A Correspondent| The unending wars between Zanu PF and CCC have dragged Harare City Council (HCC) senior officials into the mud as the authorities are using their names to build criminal cases against opposition councillors.
Recently, the authorities said they are investigating cases of abuse of office by some councillors and senior officials.
However according to sources at HCC, the issue has to do with political fights between CCC and Zanu PF.
“The authorities are just trying to build a strong case against councillors so they want to involve senior officials so that their case makes sense. If you look some senior officials have nothing to do with that so called deal. If you take into consideration the role of the chamber secretary is to convene meeting and he does not sign anything to do with councillors stands but his name is being mentioned. The accusations are legally misdirected.
“The said councillors were supposed to be given leases. The land is supposed to be advertised in papers to see if their any objections. Its not true what is being said , those people do not have any papers and how can they sale the land in question. This is politics at play nothing much.”
By A Correspondent| Despite the Harare City Council acknowledging it has dismally failed residents and ratepayers in providing efficient services, the council has acquired a brand new Prado for Mayor Jacob Mafume.
A memo gleaned by this publication shows that a resolution by the human resources committee okayed the acquisition of the top range vehicles but sources who spoke to this writer say this was done unprocedurally.
“It has never happened that a mayor can drive a council vehicle. He is not a council employee.
“And we hear he wants to take the car when he leaves office,” said the source who declined to be named.
“Under normal procedures a mayoral car should be chauffeur-driven but Mafume is abusing this by driving himself and using the car for CCC activities instead of council work,” adds the source.
Another source said the ‘resolution is scandalous’ and vindicates that the top CCC official is after self-aggrandisement.
“This resolution is scandalous and shows how Mafume has an insatiable appetite to looting.
“Remember he is the guy who wanted to acquire a stand for his sister unprocedurally and now he has coerced the human resources committee to splurge money on a brand new Prado,”the source explained.
It is rumoured that Mafume is boasting that minister of local government and public works July Moyo can’t stop him in all his shenanigans as evidenced previously when he failed to suspend him from executing his mayoral duties.
This latest revelation comes at a time, a daily state publication revealed that there is a massive land looting by some councillors and top council officials.
They are being accused of allocating themselves land from as little as US$60 and then selling the land at US$120 000.
Efforts to get a comment from HCC corporate communications manager Innocent Ruwende were fruitless.
He died in his residence at the Mater Ecclesiae monastery which he had chosen as his residence after resigning in 2013, Al Jazeera reported citing the Holy See Press Office.
He led the Catholic Church for less than eight years until, in 2013, he became the first Pope to resign since Gregory XII in 1415.
Benedict spent his final years at the Mater Ecclesiae monastery within the walls of the Vatican.
His successor Pope Francis said he had visited him there frequently.
By Dr Masimba Mavaza| During the year 2022 the CCC president has radically expanded the social safety net but struggled to protect his influence to the voting majority.
The CCC has made history to be the first social group masquerading as a political party yet they represented a tyrannical spring. Chamisa had managed to create a dictatorship politically motivated party with no constitution no sim no policy no focus only two people leading it which are CHAMISA and Fadzai
Mahere. Voters will render a telling verdict on Chamisa and CCC as they decide whether to keep control of our country to the people or to the puppets. In 2022 we have learnt to forgive people if their views about the president’s record so far are a bit complicated. It is because the coming of the CCC was based on a narrative that demonised Zimbabwe and it’s true leadership.
In less than two years, of its creation CCC has chaotically ended the democratic process in Zimbabwe while struggling to bring forward a constitution of the party. Domestically, he’s pursued nothing less than a transformation of the social safety net, with an agenda comprising a dizzying intent bent on reversing the gains of the independence struggle. Despite the curse of the yellow fever ZANU PF through ED MNANGAGWA has accomplished quite a lot of things perhaps more than most political observers expected with such little space to move having been stifled by the sanctions. Some of his legislative moves, on democracy and preserving peace and safety for example, have even been bipartisan victories. In one year only MNANGAGWA has also achieved many of his most progressive priorities, which have fallen victim to a combination of sanctions and opposition. In the past few months, Mnangagwa has bolstered his progressive record without the help from outside.
Each year ZANU PF writes history which looks back at our achievements across the last 12 months, and explains how the party has campaigned towards securing vision for a democracy fit for the 21st Century.
By using our voice in the media, developing in-depth research and policy, campaigning and influencing and making the case online we’ve led the charge for reform in 2022. Our major milestones in 2022 ZANU PF was to maintain democracy in the face of provocation. ZANU PF is the only party with a Proportional Representation in parliament.
Convincing the party to make a cultural shift and become a party that supports Electoral Reform which has become an integral part of our drive of change as laid out in our strategic plan. In 2002 we made historic progress towards the international engagements and coming up with a foreign policy only made in ZANU PF. This was the culmination of many years of building a campaign for friendship with all and boosting investment and leaving no one behind (Politics for the Many) and of being part of the change and became a party that organised so skilfully within its ranks to build support in branches and in constituencies and to position itself as a winnable option in towns where we have been seeing red for a long time.
2022 we have worked closely with our people everyone encouraging them to register to vote. The Commissariat department pressed on the Politics for the Many to build up support ahead of the successful vote we will have in 2023. Throughout the year we worked to create a compelling communications campaign to build support for us in and outside the Party.
ZANU PF worked closely with its partners before and during the congress to build the case for 2022.
The party gained more and we will be having a landslide victory in 2023.
We have seen a number of youth coming to join ZANU PF. Chief Hwenje motivated the party in songs and praises. Cde Mutsvangwa Chris and madam boss Mutsvangwa supported by Tafadzwa Mugwadi sweated to keep the image of the party clean and thanks to them ZANU PF remained visible.
2022 saw our dedicated team of varakashi flying the flag Of the party high.
The has come to an end but there are many heroes who bled for the party. Zimbabwe is a jewel because of ZANU PF. We can not forget General Zabanyana,General Rugeje cde Matemadanda cde Mai Hungwe cde Obert Mpofu and the whole team of elders.
2023 saw a great dedication to country and self. Cde NPC Bimha General Rugeje, Zabanyana, Matemadanda, Ophar Rushesha Muchinguri Kashiri, Obert Mpofu mhofu Tizora and many senior leaders graduated with doctorate degrees at the same time guiding and directing the party.
All ZANU PF cadres wherever they are, this was our year and more of our years are coming.
ZANU PF, iwe neni tine basa.
By-Villagers in Mutare’s Odzi area in Manicaland province had their shock of life after they woke up seeing a grave they had buried a person open with the corpse missing.
Open Grave
This happened to the Makaza family, who had buried their grandmother on December 12 at Odzi Cemetery.
Their 98-year-old granny, Gogo Cecilia Makaza succumbed to diabetes and asthma.
For the past two months, residents have been waking up to desecrated graves, mostly of elderly women.
To date, 12 known graves have been violated in the cemetery, with 11 of them being of elderly women.
Some graves had pictures removed from tombstones, with the others having the tombstones shifted to a new place.
The son to the late Gogo Makaza, Mr Gift Makaza said they were yet to come to terms with the bizarre incident as this is the second time the grave has been desecrated since his mother’s burial on 12 December.
“She was buried on 12 December but on December 14 December, we discovered that the grave had been violated. We went to the police and asked if we could open the coffin to see if anything was amiss on the body, but we were ordered not to do so. We went to the grave and refilled the soil that had been removed from our mother’s grave.
“We were shocked this morning (Wednesday) when we discovered that the grave had been dug again. The coffin was exposed and had been opened. The coffin screws were missing.
“We alerted the police and they gave us the nod to open the coffin and find out if our late mother’s body was still intact. We opened the coffin and discovered that the body was not tampered with. However, the shroud which we buried her with was not wrapped around her. It had been removed and was placed on top of her body. The shroud covering her head was also removed,” he said.
The family reburied Gogo Makaza shortly afterwards after performing some rituals. Footprints of three people were visible near the grave.
“One person was barefooted, the other had boots and the other print looked like those of a woman’s shoes. There was a trail of blood in the graveyard and it was clear that one of them was cut by the iron sheets that were in the grave.
“We followed the blood trail and it led us to where the tools that had been used to dig the grave were hidden. The shovel and pick were hidden in a bush in the graveyard,” said Mr Makaza.
A knife was also found inside the grave.
Ms Joice Matanhire whose relative’s grave was also desecrated appealed to Headman Nyamanhindi to help them in consulting ZINATHA healers.
“This has been happening for a long time. We are requesting ZINATHA healers to help us. The headman should act fast and approach Chief Makoni on this issue. Our relatives’ graves are being tampered with,” she said.
In an interview, Mutare Rural District Council representative for Ward 31, Councillor Maclean Murauro, said that same night (Tuesday), the suspects tried to dig three more graves, but failed.
“We are suspecting that these people are doing this for rituals. This is not the work of artisanal gold miners like what others are suspecting. It is clear that they want something from the dead bodies.
“We have tombstones being removed from their graves and others being broken using iron bars. Most of the targeted graves are of elderly women who died in the early 2000s, save for Gogo Makaza and two others who died this month,” he said.
Councillor Murauro said the community is engaging the traditional leadership on the way forward.
In an interview, Headman Nyamanhindi, Mrs Brandina Nyamanhindi said she is yet to inform Chief Makoni of the bizarre incident.
“I have never come across this macabre real life drama. At first it was the Dzumbira family that approached me, telling me that their late mother, Mrs Rose Dzumbira’s grave had been desecrated. She died in 2002. More cases were reported.
“There is need to consult Chief Makoni over this issue because we are in his area. He has no idea of what is happening here. However, I suspect foul play. We need to sit down as a communrity and raise money so that we can consult Chief Makoni,” said Headman Nyamanhindi.
Zimbabwe National Traditional Healers Association (ZINATHA) president, Mr George Kandiero referred the victims’ families to their provincial offices.
“We have respect for dead bodies and tampering with them is unheard of. This is a clear case of wanting to get rich quickly. In most cases, those who are tampering with these graves will turn the avenging spirit of the dead against their families and that is when you will see living family members struggling and being tormented by their late relatives’ spirits.
“They should deal with this matter forthwith. Our traditional leaders will help cleanse the graveyard to avoid future grave desecrations,” he said.- Manica Post
Three Mutare men were nabbed recently for producing fake defensive driving certificates and selling them for US$75 to desperate drivers, endangering the lives of passengers and other motorists.
Tafadzwa Matose (29), Tinashe Swikepi (27) and Forget Trymore Mupita (31) were arrested at the Civic centre recently after selling a fake defensive driving license to Kudzai Chitsike of Chikanga.
The trio appeared before Mutare magistrate Prisca Manhibi who sentenced them to community service at the High court in Mutare.
Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) national spokesperson, Fadzayi Mahere has condemned the continued detention of Zengeza est Member of Parliament (MP), Job Sikhala saying he is innocent.
Mahere made the remarks the Harare Magistrates’ court denied Sikhala bail again this Friday.
Posting on Twitter, Mahere condemned what she termed the weaponization of the law to deny bail to Sikhala.
“The Magistrates’ Court at Rotten Row has again denied Hon @JobSikhala1 bail. We condemn this continued persecution & the weaponization of the law. Bail is a constitutional right. He is innocent,” said Mahere.
Sikhala has been in prison since June when he was arrested and charged with inciting public violence which erupted in Nyatsime during the funeral wake of slain CCC activist Moreblessing Ali.Sikhala denies the charges.
Responding to the court outcome today, Harare East legislator Tendai Biti said the law must protect itself against capture.
“We are shocked by continued denial of bail to @JobSikhala1. The State is clearly not ready. That alone constituted a fundamental change of circumstances. The law must at all material protect itself against capture. It must remain autonomous & free from the illusion that it is owned,” said Biti.
His remarks resonate with sentiments expressed by several analysts who believe the judiciary is captured by the executive.
They believe Sikhala’s prolonged detention is political.
Violent bouncers, Gideon Sanyangore (32) and Blessing Kumunda (36) will spend the New Year holiday in jail after their matter was Friday rolled over to 3 January 2023 by a Harare magistrate.
This was after the two appeared before magistrate Stanford Mambanje charged with attempted murder.
Sanyangore and Kumunda caused chaos at an upmarket joint in Borrowdale, Harare on Boxing Day after refusing to leave the club which was about to close for the day.
The state alleges that on 26 December 2022, the two were drinking beer at Pabloz Night Club at Sam Levy Village when they were approached by private security guards who were manning the premises notifying them the club was closing business for the day.
Court heard that Sanyangore and Kumunda refused to vacate the premises and instead started pushing the security guards out of the night club.
It is further alleged that when they were out of the club, the two assaulted the guards, with Kumunda pulling a knife and trying to stab them.
One of the complainants, Wilson Kaminyu who was about to be stabbed in the stomach grabbed the knife and sustained deep cuts across his four left hand fingers.
The two were arrested on Thursday after video clips captured on CCTV went viral on social media.
Coincidentally, Sanyangore was recently convicted and ordered to perform community service over another assault offence he committed in October this year. ZimLive
It was early in 2022 when Vice President Constantino Chiwenga threatened to kill opposition leader Nelson Chamisa, Chiwenga has said the Government does not expect any acts of violence as the country enters election season.
Speaking at a prayer meeting officiated by controversial prophet Andrew Wutaunashe, Chiwenga said, “you may be aware that the nation has begun the first steps towards preparation for the harmonised elections which are due sometime in 2023. The preliminary Delimitation Report, which was submitted to His Excellency the President, Cde, Dr Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa sets in motion processes that lead to these elections. I urge the church to pray for peace and calm in our nation as we head for elections,” said the Acting President.
VP Chiwenga said violence has no place in the country’s political contestations. He implored political parties to accept the outcome of the elections. “Equally, we must show the world that we are a peaceful and indeed a converged nation emerging from the unity of winners and losers joining hands in national development. That is the Zimbabwe we want,” he said. Dr Chiwenga said the Government was heartened by Zion Christian Church (ZCC) Bishop Nehemiah Mutendi and Reverend Wutawunashe who lobbied for the removal of sanctions imposed on the country by Western countries. He said sanctions serve no purpose except to hurt ordinary Zimbabweans.
The Acting President expressed gratitude to the African continent for standing with Zimbabwe in calling for the removal of illegal sanctions imposed on the country. “Internationally, although faced by unjust and illegal sanctions, we embarked on the hard and patient work of re-engaging even hostile regimes which had punished us for repossessing our own land through extensive illegal sanctions meant to cripple us. “As we work hard on the frontier of international engagement and re-engagement, we are seeing a thawing of relations with normally antagonistic nations,” he said. “We are seeing light at the end of the tunnel. We remain eternally grateful for the resolute support from our sister African countries, through SADC and the African Union.” Speaking at the same prayer event, Roman Catholic Church leader, Father Fidelis Mukonori, said police should arrest anyone who violates the law in the name of politics. “We would like to pray for forthcoming general elections to be done peacefully. It is essential, it is a right. Zimbabwe has never stopped doing its elections every time when it was necessary. We would want to pray that we have a peaceful general election,” said Fr Mukonori. “Acting President, I would like to urge that anyone who goes against the law, that person should be punished accordingly regardless and without fear and favour.” He implored Zimbabweans who invited illegal sanctions to be imposed on the country to call for their removal.
“Before the Americans, there are Zimbabweans who decided to go and seek sanctions. First of all, they knocked at the British door and the British door said the United Kingdom did not have such facilities but these persons were advised to go to the United States of America and seek for these sanctions to be applied,” he said. “They were told once sanctions were applied by the United States of America, the United Kingdom will make sure they were applied across the board in the European Union. These are facts I have. So, we would like to ask both the American people, I would also want to ask also the Europeans, we would also want to ask some among us who go daily to the United States of America to seek the continuous imposition of sanctions to say God can you touch the hearts of these Zimbabweans.” Apostle Wutawunashe said it was important to be thankful as there are a lot of positives that the country has recorded during the course of the year. He said while the country’s detractors only see negative things, there was much development happening in the country. Apostle Wutawunashe said foreigners get shocked when they visit the country and observe the developments on the ground as they are in contrast to the story that they are sold out there. “We have some delegates who have come from around the world to attend the Pan African Churches Convention and many of them are surprised.
“They say the Zimbabwe we see and the Zimbabwe we read about outside this country are two different things. “They are surprised by the progress that is in this nation. And those are eyes which are innocent and are not influenced by any kind of political bias or anything,” said Apostle Wutawunashe. – state media/ additional reporting

By James Gwati-Zanu PF leader Emmerson Mnangagwa has added Omega Hungwe to the Party’s highest decision-making body, the Politburo.
Mnangagwa added Hungwe’s name after he announced the names of new politburo members, including his wife, Auxilia, last week.
In November 2017, Hungwe was among the many Zanu PF members persecuted for working with Mnangagwa.
Mnangagwa, then, had been fired from the Party and Government by the former and late -President Robert Mugabe.
Mugabe had, then, lined Hungwe for dismissal from the Party.
Zanu PF Secretary for Administration Obert Mpofu
confirmed the appointment of Hungwe as a politiburo member. Reads the statement:
Reference is made to the statement released on December 23, 2022 on the appointments of the Politburo by HE (His Excellency) the President and First Secretary of the Party Cde ED Mnangagwa.
The statement omitted on the list, the name of Cde Omega Hungwe who was appointed into the Politburo as a Committee member.
By-A 52-year-old New Cranborne man has shot himself to death over a divorce threat from his wife.
According to the state media, Pasipamire Kanyimo shot himself after his 46-year-old wife, only identified as Virginia, had threatened to divorce him.
An argument followed, forcing Kanyimo to manhandle his wife, Virginia, leaving her unconscious.
Kanyimo somehow believed that he had just murdered his wife, who was lying unconscious.
He hurriedly left the scene and shot himself to death on the left side of his head. Harare provincial police spokesperson Inspector Luckmore Chakanza confirmed the incident. Said Insp Chakanza:
Police are investigating a case involving a man believed to have shot himself to death in Cranborne.
Circumstances were that the wife had a misunderstanding with the now deceased”.
One of the house occupants said the now deceased told her that he was going to shoot himself and she ran to their neighbour for assistance.
On their return, they found the now deceased lying in a pool of blood.
In August this year, a 59-year-old Harare man shot himself once in the head with a gun at his house in Gunhill under unclear circumstances.
Suicide cases continue to increase countrywide with some attributing the rise to depression, a condition that has been prevalent in the country since the eruption of COVID-19.
By-South African slay queen, and disc jockey Cyan Boujee is currently in Zimbabwe and has the time of her life.
The curvy spinner touched down in the neighbouring country on 28 December for a performance at Pabloz, an exclusive club in the capital.
The event she hosted and performed at was called Belair All-White Champagne Party.
Cyan touched down in Zim on Wednesday, looking simple but trendy. With no makeup on, she had a Gucci bucket hat, lime green tees, and grey leggings that accentuated her shapely figure. She also had lime Air Jordan 1 trainers to match the t-shirt.
She quickly dashed to the Harare International Conference Centre where she had a change of clothes and did not look hot.
Cyan Boujee rocked a skimpy brown dress that illustrated her stunning body and gave people a glimpse of her thick behind as it was transparent. A brown bra and panties concealed the intimate details of her body inside the see-through dress.
She complimented her look with brown, glittering high-heeled platform shoes.
She performed her deejay set and rocked the crowd at Pabloz with Amapiano hits before she left the deck and partied.
Cyan was chilling in the VIP section with one Mwarianesu Chikukwa, who must be one of the organisers of the event. The two got cosy, sharing shots and puffing shisha.
On Thursday, 29 December, Cyan decided to rest and soak in the Zimbabwean sun as she went swimming oozing hotness at the Harare International Conference Centre.
The slay queen a blue swimming costume and accessorised her look with sunglasses.
Later on, she went to a local Harare shop selling Zimbabwe-branded memorabilia and accessories, including hats, key holders, bracelets, and necklaces.
This was the first time Cyan Boujee was a club host and performed in Zimbabwe.
The slay queen burst intop instant fame in South Africa after an interview on Podcast And Chill, where she revealed that she was once in a relationship where she would get an R50 000 weekly allowance.
By James Gwati- A Harare magistrate has remanded in custody two hooligans who caused mayhem and assaulted patrons at Pabloz Bar in Harare on Christmas Eve.
Blessing Kumunda (36) and Gideon Sanyangore (32), both from the capital’s high-density suburb of Glen Norah in Harare, will start their new year behind bars.
Harare regional magistrate Stanford Mambanje remanded them in custody to January 3 for bail application.
The two who are facing attempted murder Charges were not asked to plead to the charges when they appeared in court Friday.
By A Correspondent | Leeds remains the city that’s produced key figures of the Zimbabwean community since Rhodesian days of Simba Makoni and Edson Zvobgo, down to the youngest. It was a busy day on Christmas eve- in the Zim Leeds Community.
on the job…the ZLC comprising 10 volunteers making their surprise visits
Every year since the days of the Rhodesian war, Zimbabweans have celebrated Christmas among families, and friends.
During this time, it’s easy for loneliness to hit many, especially those forgotten by community support groups.
The ZLC spent a whole 4 hours after descending onto the LS9 area, armed with large bags of gifts and groceries. Within 30min they are on their way and they reach the first person, a male elder.
It’s a last hour in the buzz of the Christmas rush and arriving at the first home, the ZLC meets an elderly wise man who shares his views on what the community should consider for growth and purpose in the area. “In all the politics around, isn’t it, this is our society?; We won’t and shouldn’t be sidetracked by the tag Zimbabwe or UK,” he says.
He continues saying, ” we first review the problems we have in our community and see what can be done with what we have; and this includes finding resources such as land in Zimbabwe, all over,” he adds as he also receives the Christmas gifts handed him. The elderly also shares with the team challenges that he has had recently with accommodation and other basic needs.
He also complains saying one of his problems is being housed with ex prisoners after which he is told that there are people who will soon be sent to him to assist where they can.
Another elderly, in a brief comment, commends the ZLC for the community efforts, while another (a 70y old mother to many) hints out at problems facing Zimbabweans in particular immigration issues.
Towards the end, an award winning famous Wymetro employee, is visited in a hospital. In Leeds he is a legend of decades who encountered health struggles 2 years ago. The latter is presented with gifts that include a pile of clothes and a variety of necessities. He communicates with his hands and while smiling to show his joy, he is deeply distressed when the ZLC announce they are now walking off after their half hour time with him. By this time engagements have included singing with him, and doing the things he likes, while also connecting him with his son who lives in Zimbabwe.
By this time, all the visited have taken time to feed back on what they expect the ZLC to do for them and others, and the ZLC heads back to their base.
Commenting, the ZLC Chairperson Chris Goshomi repeatedly assures the specials they should expect more visits as ZLC is there to ensure they are always valued.
“We would like you to know we are always there, and I shall leave you our numbers; I am the Chairperson, and we have ladies who handle various roles…” Goshomi says.
Speaking to ZimEye shortly after the visits, Goshomi describes the ZLC mission under a new tag phrase, saying it is “to live the home life away from home.”

By-Some Zanu PF elites and their runners are said to be looting and smuggling lithium in Mutoko.
This is happening when the Government has banned all exports of lithium ore from promoting local value addition and beneficiation of the mineral.
On Thursday, the Police announced they intercepted trucks with lithium ore in Mutoko.
The authorities did not disclose the owners of the intercepted Lithium laden trucks, bringing a strong suspicion that they could be Zanu PF bigwigs. The police consult the government whenever they want to arrest a prominent member of the ruling party, and it is when after such authority is granted that they go for that individual.
In this case, the police only said they kept the intercepted loads at Mutoko Central Police Station, without also disclosing the quantity of lithium in the trucks.
The Government recently claimed that potential revenue was being lost with illegal lithium mining and smuggling. Lithium is processed in several steps with most global trade in lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide since the actual metal is highly reactive and bursts into flame on contact with water or in moist environments and corrodes very quickly in the air. Mutoko villagers are reportedly selling lithium ore for between US$15 to US$20 per wheelbarrow load, or US$100 per tonne, to middlemen who would resell it for US$350 to US$450 a tonne.
By- Police have recovered a knife from one of the two Harare hooligans, which they used to stab another bouncer at Pabloz Night Club in Borrowdale last weekend to come forward.
The two were arrested Thursday and charged with attempted murder.
Gideon Sanyangore, 32, and Blessing Kumunda, 36, were arrested following a public outcry after a video of them threatening to stab a Pabloz bouncer and assaulting patrons went viral on social media. National police spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi, confirmed the arrest and urged everyone assaulted by the two scamps to come forward. “The Zimbabwe Republic Police would like to confirm the arrest of two suspects in connection with an incident that took place at a night club recently in Borrowdale,” said Ass Comm Nyathi. “The two are facing attempted murder charges. An okapi knife used to stab one of the complainants was recovered from one of the suspects,” he said. Ass Comm Nyathi urged night club owners to make sure all activities at their premises are carried out peacefully at all times. Blessing Kumunda Gideon and Blessing are expected to appear in court today. Music promoters, night club owners and revellers complained about the conduct of the two bouncers after reports of their Pabloz attack. Another video clip was posted on social media showing one of the bouncers splashing a patron with beer in the face before clapping him unprovoked at Mashwede in Glen View. The two bouncers were banned from most entertainment events, but they had been using force to man entrances and collect gate charges, which they pocketed, boasting that they were untouchable. Ass-Comm Nyathi also warned people to celebrate peacefully and safely on New Year’s eve, saying those that endanger other people’s lives by lighting fire crackers would be arrested. He further urged parents and guardians to closely monitor young children, especially girls, as they could easily become victims of rape during the celebrations. He also warned on the abuse of drugs. -State media
By- Police in Harare are inviting anyone harassed by two knife-wielding bouncers who caused havoc at Pabloz Night Club in Borrowdale last weekend to come forward.

Pelé, the Brazilian virtuoso whose captivating skill and athleticism ensured he was universally regarded as one of football’s greatest players, has died at the age of 82.
Pelé, who had a colon tumour removed in 2021, was readmitted to Albert Einstein hospital in São Paulo in November amid deteriorating health. A hospital statement on Thursday confirmed the death of “our dear King of Football” at 3.27pm local time, “due to the failure of multiple organs, a result of the progression of cancer of colon associated with his previous clinical condition.”
A statement from Pelé’s official Instagram page added: “Inspiration and love marked the journey of King Pelé, who peacefully passed away today. On his journey, Edson enchanted the world with his genius in sport, stopped a war, carried out social works all over the world and spread what he most believed to be the cure for all our problems: love. His message today becomes a legacy for future generations. Love, love and love, forever.”
After reports he was receiving end-of-life care, Pelé said he felt “strong, with a lot of hope” in a social media post on 3 December. A further statement from the hospital on 21 December reported that Pelé “requires further care related to renal and cardiac dysfunctions” after the “progression” of his colon cancer. Social media posts from his daughter Kely Nascimento showed that family members had gathered at the hospital to spend Christmas with him.
Brazil’s joint all-time record scorer won three World Cups as a player, in 1958, 1962 and 1970, over a 14-year international career that included 77 goals in 92 appearances for his country. Nicknamed “the Black Pearl” and “the King”, Pelé was one of only three players to have scored in four World Cups. In 1,363 games, he scored 1,281 goals, at the time of his retirement in 1977 more than twice as many as his nearest challenger.
It was the 1970 World Cup triumph for which he will be best celebrated, the linchpin of a beguiling team that included Carlos Alberto, Jairzinho, Gérson, Tostão and Rivelino that swept through Mexico, his canary yellow No 10 shirt becoming an icon of the sport.
World Soccer described Brazil’s 1970 winners as “more than a team”, adding: “The Brazilian side that won the 1970 World Cup in such style have become a myth, a team to be held up as the ultimate exponents of the beautiful game.” Pelé was their figurehead and inspiration.
Brazil’s government declared three days of mourning and the arch at Wembley Stadium was lit in the colours of Brazil, while icons of sport and heads of state bowed to the man who rose up from childhood poverty to become a legend. The Guardian
IN FULL: List of people removed from US sanctions;
Chinamasa blasts listing of 13-year-old daughter
When the United States announced the sanctioning of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s son earlier this month, it also revealed the names of 17 individuals who had been removed from the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN).
Emmerson Junior was added to the SDN together with the wife and associates of business tycoon Kudakwashe Tagwirei and two private companies Fossil Agro and Fossil Contracting.
The sanctions review also saw the removal of 17 individuals from the SDN list with the United States saying they “were found no longer to undermine Zimbabwe’s democratic processes and institutions or to otherwise meet the criteria for designation”.
Prominent names among those removed include former ministers Ignatius Chombo, Nicholas Goche, Jason Machaya as well as the wife of ex-Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Governor Gideon Gono.
Also included was the daughter of former cabinet minister and now Zanu PF Finance boss Patrick Chinamasa.
Zanu PF secretary for finance Patrick Chinamasa Commenting on the development on Twitter, Chinamasa expressed outrage that his daughter, Gamuchirai, has been hit with sanctions when she was just 13 years old.
“The United States Authorities imposed sanctions against Gamuchirai when she was only 13 years old. Someone needs to explain to me how a 13 year old girl child can pose a threat to the global security interests of the sole World Super Power, the Mighty USA,” said Chinamasa on Twitter.
“Further someone needs to explain not only to me but to the Wider World how a 13 year old girl child can be sanctioned on the basis that she violated human rights. I am sure Hopewell Chin’ono can help explain.
“Ndinoyambira (I wish to advise) political activists who are on the beck and call of Western Countries not to swallow hook, sinker and line the propaganda churned out by Western Imperial Forces on the subject of Human Rights. They don’t mean what they say .They don’t practise what they tell you.”
Meanwhile in a statement accompanying the sanctions review, the US said; “…sanctions are not intended to be permanent but to incentivize changes in behaviour. Each removal is based on a thorough review and is part of an ongoing effort to keep the sanctions program current, focused, and relevant.
“Maintaining the integrity of U.S. sanctions is the driving principle behind a rigorous review process that evaluates every request for removal individually on its merits and applies consistent standards to all of them.”
The statement added; “We again call on the Zimbabwean government to take meaningful steps towards addressing the root causes of many of Zimbabwe’s ills, including corrupt elite and their abuse of the country’s institutions for their personal gain.
“Ahead of the 2023 elections, it is imperative to ensure Zimbabweans have the opportunity to vote elections that are free from violence, repression, and electoral manipulation.”

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has confirmed the arrest of Ronald Ncube (22) for a murder case in which he fatally stabbed a Zimbabwe National Amy officer, Simesihle Mkandla (24), with a knife at St Luke’s Business Centre on 25/12/22.
The police has since expressed concern with suspects, who are moving around with okapi knives attacking people who will be trying to stop them from using the weapons to commit crime.
At some times the police had to launch campaigns educating people on the dangers of moving around with dangerous items.
People have been arrested during blitzs targeting those who move around with knives, catapults, machetes among other dangerous weapons.
Apparently, ZRP is on record calling on members of the public to resolve their differences in a friendly manner.

Pele who is the only player in history to win three World Cups, passed away at the Albert Einstein hospital in Sao Paulo following a battle with cancer; he became an icon of the game after winning the World Cup in 1958 as a 17-year-old, netting twice in the final to defeat hosts Sweden
The former striker, who is the only player in history to win three World Cups, passed away at the Albert Einstein hospital in Sao Paulo following a battle with cancer. Pele, who is Brazil’s joint all-time top scorer with 77 goals in 92 matches, became an icon of the game after winning the World Cup in 1958 as a 17-year-old, netting twice in the final to defeat hosts Sweden. Pele, born Edson Arantes do Nascimento, to a poor family in Sao Paulo, won the 1958, 1962 and 1970 World Cups with Brazil. Pele celebrates after winning the 1970 World Cup in Mexico after beating Italy 4-1 Injury restricted his contribution to Brazil’s triumph in 1962 in Chile but he was player of the tournament eight years later, as Brazil assembled one of the greatest sides of all time and lifted the Jules Rimet trophy in Mexico thanks to a 4-1 win over Italy in which Pele scored the opening goal. That goal makes him one of only five players to have scored in two World Cup finals and, thanks to his exploits in 1958, he remains the youngest player to have netted a goal at the tournament. In total, Pele scored 12 goals in 14 World Cup appearances and also provided 10 assists – the most by any player in the history of the competition, and a reminder that he was much more than a goalscorer.` It was his spectacular scoring feats, though, that made him a Santos legend at club level. Pele holds his hometown side’s all-time goal record and helped them to two Copa Libertadores titles and six Brazilian league crowns during a glittering 18-year spell with the club. Pele, who scored 1,281 goals in 1,363 games for club and country during his career, ended his playing days at New York Cosmos and retired from football in 1977. After retiring, Pele acted as an ambassador for football. In 2013, he was awarded the FIFA Ballon d’Or Prix d’Honneur in recognition of his career and achievements. In 2020, he was named in the Ballon d’Or Dream Team, a greatest of all-time XI. -Sky Sport

By-Some politically connected elites are looting and smuggling lithium in Mutoko.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police Thursday announced they intercepted trucks with lithium ore in Mutoko.
This is happening at a time the Government has banned all exports of lithium ore from promoting local value addition and beneficiation of the mineral.
According to the Herald, the intercepted loads are stored at Mutoko Central Police Station. The publication did not disclose the quantity of lithium that was in the trucks. The Government recently claimed that potential revenue was being lost with illegal lithium mining and smuggling. Lithium is processed in several steps with most global trade in lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide since the actual metal is highly reactive and bursts into flame on contact with water or in moist environments and corrodes very quickly in the air. Mutoko villagers are reportedly selling lithium ore for between US$15 to US$20 per wheelbarrow load, or US$100 per tonne, to middlemen who would resell it for US$350 to US$450 a tonne.

Kylian Mbappe has responded to Emiliano Martinez’s taunts following Argentina’s 2022 FIFA World Cup triumph in Qatar this month.
The South Americans beat Les Bleus on penalties after a thrilling 3-3 draw in which Mbappe scored a hat-trick for the French side.
During the after-match celebrations, Martinez mocked the PSG striker by calling for a ‘moment of silence’ in the dressing room.
The Aston Villa goalkeeper then made another trolling during the open-top bus parade in Argentina by holding a baby doll with Mbappe’s face on it.

In response, Mbappe has insisted he’s ‘not bothered’ by Martinez’s taunts.
“The celebrations, they’re not my problem,” Mbappe told reporters when asked about Martinez’s actions following PSG’s 2-1 win over Strasbourg, as reported by RMC Sport.
“I don’t waste any energy on such futile things. What’s important for me is to give the best of myself for my club, and we’re looking forward for Leo (Messi) to turn to continue scoring and winning matches.”- Soccer24 Zimbabwe
It is quite alarming to hear that the remains of the gruesomely murdered CCC activist, Moreblessing Ali are being buried in Mabvuku Harare without the consent of her immediate family members such as children and blood relatives. This must be resisted with equal measure, it is satanic to continue torturing the soul of the deceased in that manner. Her immediate family is unaware of the proceedings according to the information disseminated by our change champions on the ground.
The immediate Ali family confirmed that they were informed during yesternight that Moreblessing Ali was going to be buried today in Mabvuku. The closest relatives are in extreme shock because they expected to continue from where they left in June when Moreblessing was murdered by Pius Jamba, a thug linked to ZANU-PF. There is a great likelihood that these distant family connived with killers, maybe they were given cash to sell out. One of the closest relatives clarified that they did not even know where the remains of their mother were.
Reliable sources say , Moreblessing Ali’s remains were taken from Parirenyatwa Hospital yesterday. The family is still in serious shock and they intended to take the DNA tests so that they could confirm if they were burying their authentic relative. Citizens in Namibia demand justice for Moreblessing Ali. It is uncouth and untraditional to bypass blood relatives at burials, a bad omen is loading. Tormenters must face justice! They can’t continue to abduct the remains after killing our champion in Nyatsime.
Let’s amplify our revolutionary voices against the weaponization of the law and the subsequent capture of all state institutions.
Allow Moreblessing Ali’s close relatives to bury her not this nicodemus funeral of our champion. The truth of the matter is that ZANU-PF is afraid of the vibrant and pragmatic interim Vice Chairperson, Job Saro Wiwa Sikhala. We shall continue to demand justice for Job Sikhala, Moreblessing Ali, and all prisoners of conscience.
Allow Silent, Mob’s firstborn to sign the burial papers for his mother like before.
Allow Citizens Coalition for Change to mourn one of their late diligent soldier, Moreblessing Ali who was butchered for subscribing to the change that delivers. Justice for Mob! Justice for Job Saro Wiwa Sikhala.

By Own Correspondent There is growing displeasure on the handling of the kidnapping and assault case of popular Budiriro apostolic church leader Madzibaba Enock by bogus CIOs.
Born Hebert Thabo Senda, the Johanne Masowe YeChishanu Yenyenyedzi Nomwe leader was kidnapped and assaulted by 3 bogus Central Intelligence Officers(CIOs) for allegedly trying to topple President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
The three Mark Jack (36), Munyaradzi Mupazviripo (49) and Reward Baradze (26) have since appeared before Harare magistrate Mr Dennis Mangosi facing kidnapping and impersonation charges.
While they remain in custody, allegations are that those who instructed them to commit the crime are on the loose despite them being wanted in connection to the case.
Sources who spoke to this publication, say the trio of Taurai Munyika, Clifford Chimusoro and Muchineripi Utete are being spotted daily at Budiriro 4 Shopping Centre.
The investigating officer, one detective Chafa from Law and Order is being accused of sleeping on duty as he is failing to net in the wanted trio.
“Information and investigations gathered pin Taurai Manyika, Clifford Chimusoro and Muchineripi Utete for having clearly ordered the bogus CIOs who beat up Madzibaba badly on false allegation of toppling the President.
” The 3 are always seen patronising at Budiriro 4 shops but the IO, Chafa from Law and Order is saying they are not around. Clearly, he is sleeping on duty,” said a source close to the development.
Efforts to get a comment from the Investigating Officer hit a snag.
A 25-year-old bar attendant has been arrested for fatally stabbing a man with an Okapi knife after accusing him of stealing a bottle of whisky in Kezi on Unity Day.
The incident occurred at Donkwe Donkwe Business Centre.
National Police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the incident.
“Police in Kezi have arrested a bar attendant, Wilson Mugandi aged 25 in connection with a case of murder which occurred on December 22, 2022 at a bar at Donkwe Donkwe Business Centre.
“The suspect stabbed the victim, Mduduzi Moyo aged 21, with an Okapi knife on the chest, thigh and waist after alleging that the victim had attacked him using a catapult before stealing a bottle of whisky from the bar,” he said.
In a related incident, Police in Kadoma are investigating a murder case in which the body of one, Stanley Mpofu (28) was found with multiple stab wounds on December 23, 2022 at Chimwendo Compound, Battlefields. Anyone with information that might assist with investigations should report at any nearest Police Station.
Meanwhile, Police in Bulawayo arrested Peserverance Manwele (33) in connection with theft of 20 kgs pieces of copper cables.
Investigations by the police have established that the suspect dug out the copper cables at Plot 16 Dunkik Farm, Pumula.
“CCC will win 2023, I will be Minister and you ambassadors” Chibaya tells diasporans elections.
By Nomusa Garikai | Amos Chibaya, CCC national organising secretary, told his audience in Birmingham that CCC will win the 2023 elections and they should prepare a skills data base. The CCC led government will appoint them ambassadors, Permanent Secretaries, etc. He will be minister of local government minister.
It was sweet music to Zimbabwe diasporans; they swallowed the bait, hook, line and sinker! How naïve; Zanu PF is rigging these elections and they have done nothing to stop the rigging and are, instead, sharing out the spoils of the imaginary electoral victory!
Amos Chibaya and other CCC party leaders are in UK on mission to raise funds for the upcoming 2023 elections. No doubt the hooked diasporans will loosen up their purses and bankroll the party’s campaign.
Whatever skills these men and women in the diaspora have, it certainly does not include common sense. The common sense to realise that Zimbabwe’s elections are a farce and the number one challenge is to put an end to the insanity of participating in flawed elections to give Zanu PF legitimacy.
The great physicist, Albert Einstein said insanity of doing something over and over again expecting a different result. Zimbabweans have been participating in these flawed and illegal elections; so, flawed that in the March 2008 MDC garnered 73% of the votes and still failed to win power; for 42 years and still expect a different result. If that is not proof of collective insanity, what is!
Zanu PF is rigging the 2023 elections just as blatantly as it has rigged elections in the past. There evidence of the rigging is there for all to see. Last year Patrick Chinamasa, then Acting Zanu PF spokesperson, announced that the Zanu PF government will not honour Mnangagwa’s promise in 2018 to grant diaspora vote “as long as the sanctions imposed by the West remain.” The sanctions include travel ban on some Zanu PF leaders and thus putting the regime at an unfair electoral disadvantage as regarding winning the diaspora votes. All nonsense, of course.
The right to a meaningful say in the governance of one’s country is an inalienable right enshrined in the UN Universal Human Rights Declaration. To deny Zimbabweans in the diaspora their fundamental right because Zanu PF has a quarrel with the West is an outrage. What man in his right mind would quarrel with his neighbour and take it on his wife and children? No society would ever tolerate such barbarism!
Even if we were to accept the argument that Zanu PF would be at an electoral disadvantage because its big gunners will not campaign freely in these Western nations that have imposed travel ban. Why is the regime denying the vote to those Zimbabweans in neighbouring SADC countries and beyond which have not imposed any sanctions on the regime?
The truth of the matter is Zanu PF denying those in the diaspora the vote for two reasons:
1) Many of the Zimbabweans in the diaspora are there as economic and/or political refugees and they blame Zanu PF misrule for their situation. It is obvious many of them would therefore not vote for Zanu PF.
2) Zanu PF has corrupted all the country’s state institutions including ZEC, Police, Army, etc. giving the regime total controls of every aspect of election process and with it the unlimited opportunity to rig elections. Still, rigging elections is dirty work and the party has not always succeeded in the dirty work under wraps as in the 2008 elections. Zanu PF would have to rig the diaspora vote and keeping that a secrete would be near impossible. Denying those in the diaspora the vote was by far the easier option than rigging that vote!
There are 3 million adult Zimbabweans in the diaspora, using Zanu PF’s own figure; a very significant number given Mnangagwa won the 2018 elections with 2.4 million votes. So, the diaspora vote constitutes 37% of the potential 8 million voters.
How can the elections be free, fair and credible when one contestant is allowed to cherry pick the voters and deny 37% the vote?
So, if Amos Chibaya and his fellow CCC leaders had any common sense they would be fighting tooth and nail to secure the 3 million in the diaspora have a vote. Indeed, should have implemented the necessary reforms to guarantee diaspora vote during the 2008 to 2013 GNU. They failed to implement even one reform in five years.
Whilst SADC and many in the international community were outraged by MDC leaders’ failure to implement reforms and deserted MDC in droves. Many Zimbabweans, including those in the diaspora, did not even realise the primary purpose of the GNU was to implement reforms. Even now with the benefit of hindsight many Zimbabweans still have no clue what the GNU was for much less that MDC leaders sold out big time!
Zimbabwe is a pariah state ruled by corrupt, incompetent and murderous Zanu PF thugs who have rigged elections to stay in power. Zimbabwe has become the textbook case of a failed state ruled by men and women whose greed for power and loot is insatiable. They are blind to the common sense reality that without rule of law the nation is doomed.
It is the corrupt, incompetent and tyrannical Zanu PF thugs who have landed us into this economic and political mess. It is the equally corrupt, incompetent and utterly useless MDC/CCC leaders who have wasted many golden opportunities to end the Zanu PF dictatorship and kept us stuck in the mess. The nation has been looking to its intelligentsia to finally get us out of this hell-on-earth of our own making.
The overwhelming majority of Zimbabwe’s so-called intelligentsia are in the diaspora and judging from the glassy-eyed reaction to Chibaya’s idiotic offer of ambassadorship, etc.; the intelligentsia are just as naïve, gullible, and greedy as the political leaders. They don’t even have the common sense to know it is insane to be sharing the spoils of election victory when Zanu PF still enjoy the carte blanche powers to rig elections; especially after 42 years of rigged elections!
“CCC will win the 2023 elections, I will be Minister of Local Government and you will be appointed ambassadors and Permanent Secretaries!” How presumptuous especial when Chibaya and co wasted the golden opportunity to secure diaspora vote implement reforms and secure diaspora vote. Zanu PF is rigging the 2023 elections, that is the reality! –

The legacy of the late iconic National Hero and Zanla commander General Josiah Magama Tongogara continues to live on with the nation yesterday commemorating the top Zanla military commander of the liberation war.
Relatives, friends, colleagues and senior Government officials yesterday converged at the National Heroes Acre to commemorate the 43nd anniversary of his death.
The late Gen Tongogara was born on February 4, 1938 in Shurugwi and died on Boxing Day in 1979 in a vehicle accident in Mozambique, soon after the Lancaster House Agreement that gave birth to independent Zimbabwe.
All the speakers, who included family members, colleagues and Government officials, emphasised the need for keeping Gen Tongogara’s vision alive.
He waged the war against the settler regime for liberation and the creation of a non-racial society.
Acting President Dr Constantino Chiwenga yesterday said the legacy left by Gen Tongogara is recognised through his immense role in the fight for the liberation of the country.
“To be where we are today it is because of that intelligent and brilliant commander, he foresaw things that we did not see ourselves at that time, that yes we are fighting but one day we will be free.
“He was very aware that he would not see the new Zimbabwe, that he would not see the independent Zimbabwe.
“He would always say well lets fight, the day l go is the day you are going to be free. We don’t know why, because he had a prophetic mind. It was unfortunate that he died on that fateful day,” he said.
Acting President Chiwenga also urged youths to love the country and defend it at all costs, urging them to desist from drug and alcohol abuse.
“The youths of today must know that what they are is what we were and what we are is what they shall be. This country was liberated by the youths.
“Imagine when General Tongo died, he was 41 so he was in his prime of youth and he commanded the liberation of this country.
“When he took command of Zanla he was still in his youthful days so the youths of today must emulate what the predecessors did. To be principled, to love one’s country and to defend it at all cost, leave all things which are not going to help in the reconstruction of our country.
“Today we are battling trying to stop youths from drug abuse and alcohol. All these things must be stopped. We want the youths to build Zimbabwe. That is all we want,” he said.
Earlier on in a speech read on his behalf by the Defence and War Veteran Affairs Minister Oppah Muchinguri Kashiri at Heroes Acre, Acting President Chiwenga said Gen Tongogara’s good works will always be remembered as he played a critical part in the liberation of the country.
“The Second Republic appreciates the efforts which Cde Tongogara made to liberate the country. This day is a day to celebrate independence as the late son of the soil died fighting for the cause of liberating Zimbabweans from the hands of the oppressors.
“We want to thank our Government from the time we got independence in 1980 until today. Our President Cde Mnangagwa keeps on reminding us where we came from and to follow our dignity as Zimbabweans. Let us remember our freedom fighters who liberated the country.
“We give respect to our freedom fighters through giving their names to schools, roads and other places. We also want to thank Senator Angeline Tongogara for encouraging the nation to ensure that Cde Tongogara is remembered for his wonderful works of liberating the country.
“Some were left at Chimoio, but because of his wisdom and bravery and courage, today we are celebrating independence.
“He also wanted to ensure that black people have identity and dignity so that we have pride for our nation.
“Peace and unity was his major emphasis,” she said.
The widow of General Tongogara, Sen Angelina Tongogara, described her husband as a rare breed who would easily adapt to situations.
“Everyone liked him. I was blessed to marry this man. I thank God for uniting me with this person.
“When he was at home, you would not think that he was a soldier or a commander for that matter. He would easily adapt to the family situation to become a father and husband,” said Senator Tongogara.
Gen Tongogara’s eldest son, Hondo, highlighted that there was a need to preserve his father’s legacy.
“He did not just fight for us as a family, but for every Zimbabwean. There is therefore need to preserve that legacy and it is the legacy that is going to drive Zimbabwe,” he said.
Nyaradzo Tongogara, the youngest in the family said she is grateful to all guests who helped them to celebrate the day.
“This is a very important day not to the family members but to the whole nation. His role in liberating the country is greatly appreciated,” she said.
Josiah Magama Tongogara Legacy Foundation board member Webster Shamu said Gen Tongogara wanted democracy and liberation of the country.
“He wanted peace and unity among Zimbabweans. This is moving towards our President’s vision of leaving no one behind. He was against tribalism,” he said.
Zanu PF Deputy Secretary for National Security in Politburo Cde Tendai Chirau said commemorating such heroes is very important as it helps to safeguard the legacy.
“To some of us who were born after independence, we can say that this is a big lesson. He was a man who was committed to the liberation of this country.
“It is important for our generations to consolidate the legacy and safeguard what he fought for. What is important is that when he was fighting he was young and made sure that they dismantled colonialism,” he said.

He waged the war against the settler regime for liberation and the creation of a non-racial society.
Acting President Dr Constantino Chiwenga yesterday said the legacy left by Gen Tongogara is recognised through his immense role in the fight for the liberation of the country.
“To be where we are today it is because of that intelligent and brilliant commander, he foresaw things that we did not see ourselves at that time, that yes we are fighting but one day we will be free.
“He was very aware that he would not see the new Zimbabwe, that he would not see the independent Zimbabwe.
“He would always say well lets fight, the day l go is the day you are going to be free. We don’t know why, because he had a prophetic mind. It was unfortunate that he died on that fateful day,” he said.
Acting President Chiwenga also urged youths to love the country and defend it at all costs, urging them to desist from drug and alcohol abuse.
“The youths of today must know that what they are is what we were and what we are is what they shall be. This country was liberated by the youths.
“Imagine when General Tongo died, he was 41 so he was in his prime of youth and he commanded the liberation of this country.
“When he took command of Zanla he was still in his youthful days so the youths of today must emulate what the predecessors did. To be principled, to love one’s country and to defend it at all cost, leave all things which are not going to help in the reconstruction of our country.
“Today we are battling trying to stop youths from drug abuse and alcohol. All these things must be stopped. We want the youths to build Zimbabwe. That is all we want,” he said.
Earlier on in a speech read on his behalf by the Defence and War Veteran Affairs Minister Oppah Muchinguri Kashiri at Heroes Acre, Acting President Chiwenga said Gen Tongogara’s good works will always be remembered as he played a critical part in the liberation of the country.
“The Second Republic appreciates the efforts which Cde Tongogara made to liberate the country. This day is a day to celebrate independence as the late son of the soil died fighting for the cause of liberating Zimbabweans from the hands of the oppressors.
“We want to thank our Government from the time we got independence in 1980 until today. Our President Cde Mnangagwa keeps on reminding us where we came from and to follow our dignity as Zimbabweans. Let us remember our freedom fighters who liberated the country.
“We give respect to our freedom fighters through giving their names to schools, roads and other places. We also want to thank Senator Angeline Tongogara for encouraging the nation to ensure that Cde Tongogara is remembered for his wonderful works of liberating the country.
“Some were left at Chimoio, but because of his wisdom and bravery and courage, today we are celebrating independence.
“He also wanted to ensure that black people have identity and dignity so that we have pride for our nation.
“Peace and unity was his major emphasis,” she said.
The widow of General Tongogara, Sen Angelina Tongogara, described her husband as a rare breed who would easily adapt to situations.
“Everyone liked him. I was blessed to marry this man. I thank God for uniting me with this person.
“When he was at home, you would not think that he was a soldier or a commander for that matter. He would easily adapt to the family situation to become a father and husband,” said Senator Tongogara.
Gen Tongogara’s eldest son, Hondo, highlighted that there was a need to preserve his father’s legacy.
“He did not just fight for us as a family, but for every Zimbabwean. There is therefore need to preserve that legacy and it is the legacy that is going to drive Zimbabwe,” he said.
Nyaradzo Tongogara, the youngest in the family said she is grateful to all guests who helped them to celebrate the day.
“This is a very important day not to the family members but to the whole nation. His role in liberating the country is greatly appreciated,” she said.
Josiah Magama Tongogara Legacy Foundation board member Webster Shamu said Gen Tongogara wanted democracy and liberation of the country.
“He wanted peace and unity among Zimbabweans. This is moving towards our President’s vision of leaving no one behind. He was against tribalism,” he said.
Zanu PF Deputy Secretary for National Security in Politburo Cde Tendai Chirau said commemorating such heroes is very important as it helps to safeguard the legacy.
“To some of us who were born after independence, we can say that this is a big lesson. He was a man who was committed to the liberation of this country.
“It is important for our generations to consolidate the legacy and safeguard what he fought for. What is important is that when he was fighting he was young and made sure that they dismantled colonialism,” he said.
After an amazing group stage, we will have the Champions League returning in February of 2023 with a group of 16 ready. Everyone was watching the World Cup in the December of 2022, and it was definitely full of emotions for the players, so we don’t know how it will affect them when it comes to other competitions. Leagues are also about to start, so they will have to get ready for the upcoming season.
There are teams from all the major leagues, so you can prepare your CL tips while making the Bundesliga predictions where three teams will be joining the champions league, including Bayern, Dortmund, and Leipzig. There isn’t any clear favorite to win the league, but after the WC, many fans are on the PSG side, considering that Mbappe did an amazing job carrying France to the finals and Messi won it for the first time.
Both Mbappe and Messi will be ready for the season, but it’s hard to estimate what the atmosphere is like in the club. Besides PSG, there are a few more favorites that will have the chance to play against them.
14 February Two games are played on each game day, and the first one is between Milan and Tottenham. The odds are on the side of Milan, but that might change as we come near the game day because Tottenham is performing well considering their state. Milan is slowly getting back on track, being second in Serie A, but they probably won’t win the title.
The second game is between PSG and Bayern, which is a derby of the round of 16. Everyone is eager to see how Messi and Mbappe will play together and potentially win the Champions League title. Bayern is always among the Bundesliga picks as the team with the most wins each season.
15 February On Wednesday, you can watch the two most underrated teams on the group stage, including Club Brugge and Benfica. Club Brugge barely made it out of the group stage, but they are for sure one of the most motivated teams to play in CL. The casinos are still giving the advantage to Benfica. They are always at the top of the table in Portugal, so it shouldn’t be a hard match for them.
Dortmund and Chelsea will collide in the second match, which will be very interesting to watch because Chelsea is doing a poor job in the league, and this is a great chance for them to get back on their feet. Dortmund is among the top Bundesliga predictions today, but they have issues with players.
21 February The second most anticipated match will be between Liverpool and Real Madrid. The clash that happened in the finals last year is now in favor of Liverpool, according to the bookmakers. The same players that played for Real Madrid will be playing now, so everything can be expected. Liverpool isn’t in the top 5 of the Premier League, so things are pretty unstable with them again.
Frankfurt vs. Napoli is the second match of the day, and, surprisingly, everyone is giving low odds on Frankfurt, considering how well Napoli is playing. Napoli is at the top of Serie A, and they did a fantastic job in the group stage.
22 February The last day of the group of 16 brings one of the favorites, Manchester City playing against Leipzig, which is doing great in the league. Leipzig is in the top 3 of the Bundesliga table, but Bayern will most likely take the title. On the other hand, Manchester City isn’t at the top like the last year because Arsenal made a surprise and is in first place in Premier League.
Inter and Porto will clash in the last match, and we probably won’t see too many goals with these teams. Inter has an attacking playstyle, but Porto is exceptional with their defense so it will be a hard match with many yellow cards.- My Zimbabwe News

“In 2021, 144 road traffic accidents were recorded, with seven being fatal, killing 10 people while 26 others were injured.

In 2021, 103 traffic accidents were recorded, with five being fatal, seven people killed while 29 others injured.
Nyathi attributed the road traffic accidents to reckless driving.
“Most of the road traffic accidents occurred on highways as a result of speeding, overtaking errors, inattention, misjudgment, following too close and recklessness on the part of drivers, who in most of the accidents recorded were trying to overtake in situations which were not safe do so, encroached onto the lane of oncoming traffic, straddle centre lane, showed clear poor observation and control of the vehicles resulting in some hitting pedestrians who were walking on the side of the roads or standing at bus stops,” Nyathi said.
The police spokesperson said private vehicles topped the number of accidents recorded so far.
“However, the police is concerned with the number of private vehicles involved in accidents during this holiday. Some of them will be overloaded while others are being used for purposes which are clearly not suitable for such use.
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police urges drivers to be cautious and promote safety on the roads as the holiday continues. There is no need for one to be over-excited or reckless on the roads.
“The police will continue with the current deployment level on the roads and communities till the 15th of January 2023.”

By-Police details in Harare are hunting down a bouncer who wreaked havoc at Pabloz Night Club, Sam Levy village, Borrowdale, Harare, on Unity Day.
The bouncer brandished a knife and threatened to stab other patrons.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) said the suspect had to be restrained by other people but not before one person was stabbed in the right hand. A statement from the police reads:
The ZRP reiterates that investigations are at an advanced stage with a view of arresting the suspect who is seen on a video that has gone viral on social media openly brandishing a knife at Pabloz Night Club, Sam Levy village, Borrowdale, Harare while threatening to stab other patrons after a dispute. The suspect had to be restrained by other people.
The incident occurred on 22/12/22 and was reported at ZRP Borrowdale. One person sustained a stab wound on the right hand.
The police will give an update soon. The suspect’s particulars will also be revealed.
According to H-Metro, the ZRP has launched a manhunt for Gideon Sanyangore and Blessing Kumunda in connection with the incident at Pabloz nightclub and “chaos” at various music events.
By- Police in the Free-State province have arrested three Whites who beat up two black teenagers for using a local pool.
A thirteen and 18-year-old were attacked by a group of white men at the resort on Christmas Day at Maselspoort Resort outside Bloemfontein. It is alleged the white men tried to prevent the teens from using the swimming pool at the resort. The alleged racist attack, filmed by their sister Tumii Frost and posted on Twitter, has sparked widespread condemnation from the community, government, and political parties. While police have confirmed they are investigating charges of common assault, the teens’ father Brian Nakedi told The Citizen authorities should be investigating attempted murder charges. Ramaphosa has commended the South African Police Service for opening dockets and launching investigations into the case of suspected racism. “As black and white South Africans, we should be united in condemning all manifestations of racism and attempts to explain or defend such crimes. “Racism is not a problem to be fought by black South Africans only.” “We must also be united in ridding our society of the violence we see in the videos of the incident at the Free State resort, whether such violence comes with racism or not,” the president said. Ramaphosa added that there is no place for grown men attacking children in South Africa. “It is deplorable that adults dealing with teenagers resort to violence with such disturbing ease, hurting people physically and offending provisions in our Bill of Rights around security of the person, including the right to dignity and being free of violence.” Ramaphosa said racism in South Africa must end. “Under the rule of law, we must let investigations take their course but under the rule of law we can and must also declare that racism has no place in our society and racists have no place to hide. “We must defend our continuing national mission of ridding our society of the divisions and the hurts of our past,” Ramaphosa said. — The Citizen.
By- French football star Kylian Mbappe has saluted Argentina’s soccer legend, Lionel Messi.
In a post circulating on social media Mbappe said he was learning from Messi:
Kylian Mbappe on Messi: “We will be fine with Leo. Very fine. I scored two penalties and 3rd one. He scored one and the 2nd one. He was doing his job in Qatar and I was doing mine too.” “His job is to help me to be as successful as he is. He told me and I believe in him with all the supply he gives to me and us” “He always speaks about it. That football is easy’. If you have noticed I am also making things to look easy. I can’t bite the hand that feeds me because of the media.” “I’m learning a lot from this old man. We level at 1-1 in terms of world cup, but he is miles ahead on everything, my job is to listen to him no matter what.”
By-Zimbabweans in South Africa have expressed mixed feelings as the Zimbabwe Exemption Permit (ZEP) facility is left six months before the extension expiry.
The South African government announced its terminating the ZEPs in June 2023.
This decision will affect about 180 000 Zimbabweans residing in that country.
As early as October, the Zimbabwean government announced that it was prepared for its nationals who were coming home to start a new life and would assist them with transport and other logistics.
Statistics from the Home Affairs department suggest that there has been a low uptake of other visa facilities amid reports that some Zimbabweans are looking for jobs abroad as caregivers and elementary school teachers.
On average, more than 12 000 people are entering Zimbabwe through Beitbridge daily during the festive season.
Between 5-10 December, 62 770 people entered Zimbabwe through the Beitbridge border.
South Africa’s head of immigration at the border, Cannie Magaya, told News24 that although they had no figures yet, on the days leading up to Christmas, there had been an increase in traffic.
She said it could stay like that until early January when people start returning to South Africa.
Brian Moyo, a Zimbabwean working as a teacher in SA, didn’t apply for the special skills visa because he felt it was a waste of time.
While he is going back home in early January, he has set his sights on jobs in China. He said:
I teach English and that’s not a special skill. I stood a chance as a science or mathematics teacher, as such, applying for other visas was a waste of time for me.
Moyo who taught at some private schools back home before migrating to South Africa feels his experience there could help him in China.
Salaries for teaching jobs in China range from R70 000 to R120 000, depending on the type of school and level of experience.
Another opportunity will come into effect in March when the United Kingdom opens up for teachers from South Africa, Ghana, Zimbabwe and Nigeria.
Working in South Africa has also become very difficult for those spending their money in Zimbabwe because of the rand’s volatility against the US dollar, the preferred currency of trade.
During the festive season, R100 is the equivalent of $5.80, but most shops or businesses only value it at $5.
Steven Tshuma, another Zimbabwean based in South Africa said he is starting a nurse aid course with the Red Cross in SA early next year to capacitate him to work in Canada or Australia.
Tshuma who works at a restaurant and has come face to face with members of Operation Dudula – a vigilante group that intimidates migrants, says he has no excuse to be in South Africa as Dudula “could burn us alive.”
By the end of October, fewer than 10% of ZEP holders had applied for the available mainstream visas.
An estimated 180 000 ZEP holders will be affected by the 30 June 2023 deadline set by the government.

By- The opposition CCC’s Manicaland Elections Director Gabriel Chiwara has died.
Chiwara died Tuesday of an electric shock from a fault that occurred while at work.
“We are sorry for losing Sekuru, we hear he got electrocuted following a fault in the ceiling; so it was discovered later after failing to return home; so this how we hear it all happened,” an unnamed nephew said in a voice message. Further details were not available at the time of writing.
Former Warriors coach Sunday Chidzambwa believes the criticism on Khama Billiat’s performance is misplaced as there are many factors to be considered.
The Zimbabwean forward is yet to reach his full potential since arriving at the Soweto Giants in 2018. He hasn’t scored this term, having made eleven appearances across all competitions.
This inconsistency has often attracted criticism on Billiat whose deal is set to expire at the end of the season though the club has an option to extend it with another year.
But Chidzambwa has defended his countryman, highlighting how Kaizer Chiefs are also struggling as a team.
“People have different views. I even see a lot has been said and written about him,” Chidzambwa told FarPost.co.za.
“[Billiat] may be approaching the final months of his contract, but from the way I see it, it’s not about him. It’s a team issue. They say he has not done enough to win trophies for the team in comparison to what he did at Sundowns.
“But to be honest, these are two different teams. They have different sets of players and certainly a different level of dedication.
“When it’s time for Chiefs to win, they can win, but it can never be narrowed to a single player. When it’s time, they can do it with him.”
Chidzambwa added: “The circumstances are not favouring him. If I was his coach, I would play him to his strengths. He is good at assisting and even scoring.
“Even If I was at the national team [Zimbabwe], I would make sure to call him back from retirement.”- Soccer24 Zimbabwe
Karim Benzema’s agent, Karim Djaziri, has hit out at France coach Didier Deschamps for lying about the superstar’s injury that ruled the striker out of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Benzema was forced to head home after picking up a thigh issue on the eve of the tournament.
The striker reportedly needed just days of treatment, but Deschamps refused to bring him back to the squad as the competition progressed.
This left Benzema unhappy as he wanted to stay with the France squad, which would have given him a chance to participate in the World Cup.
As a result, the 2022 Ballon d’Or winner snubbed an invite from France president Emmanuel Macron to watch the final against Argentina, and he subsequently announced his retirement from international football.
The 35-year-old’s agent has now posted on Social Media to reveal more details about the fallout while blasting France boss Deschamps.
He also shared an apparent proof that the striker was fit to feature from the last 16 onwards.
Djaziri said: “I put that there, but before that, I consulted three specialists who confirmed the diagnosis that Benzema could have been fit from the last 16 to at least be on the bench!
“Why did you ask him to leave so quickly?”- Soccer24 Zimbabwe

IN FULL: List of people removed from US sanctions;
Chinamasa blasts listing of 13-year-old daughter
When the United States announced the sanctioning of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s son earlier this month, it also revealed the names of 17 individuals who had been removed from the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN).
Emmerson Junior was added to the SDN together with the wife and associates of business tycoon Kudakwashe Tagwirei and two private companies Fossil Agro and Fossil Contracting.
The sanctions review also saw the removal of 17 individuals from the SDN list with the United States saying they “were found no longer to undermine Zimbabwe’s democratic processes and institutions or to otherwise meet the criteria for designation”.
Prominent names among those removed include former ministers Ignatius Chombo, Nicholas Goche, Jason Machaya as well as the wife of ex-Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Governor Gideon Gono.
Also included was the daughter of former cabinet minister and now Zanu PF Finance boss Patrick Chinamasa.
Zanu PF secretary for finance Patrick Chinamasa Commenting on the development on Twitter, Chinamasa expressed outrage that his daughter, Gamuchirai, has been hit with sanctions when she was just 13 years old.
“The United States Authorities imposed sanctions against Gamuchirai when she was only 13 years old. Someone needs to explain to me how a 13 year old girl child can pose a threat to the global security interests of the sole World Super Power, the Mighty USA,” said Chinamasa on Twitter.
“Further someone needs to explain not only to me but to the Wider World how a 13 year old girl child can be sanctioned on the basis that she violated human rights. I am sure Hopewell Chin’ono can help explain.
“Ndinoyambira (I wish to advise) political activists who are on the beck and call of Western Countries not to swallow hook, sinker and line the propaganda churned out by Western Imperial Forces on the subject of Human Rights. They don’t mean what they say .They don’t practise what they tell you.”
Meanwhile in a statement accompanying the sanctions review, the US said; “…sanctions are not intended to be permanent but to incentivize changes in behaviour. Each removal is based on a thorough review and is part of an ongoing effort to keep the sanctions program current, focused, and relevant.
“Maintaining the integrity of U.S. sanctions is the driving principle behind a rigorous review process that evaluates every request for removal individually on its merits and applies consistent standards to all of them.”
The statement added; “We again call on the Zimbabwean government to take meaningful steps towards addressing the root causes of many of Zimbabwe’s ills, including corrupt elite and their abuse of the country’s institutions for their personal gain.
“Ahead of the 2023 elections, it is imperative to ensure Zimbabweans have the opportunity to vote elections that are free from violence, repression, and electoral manipulation.”

By A Correspondent | “What’s this horror we are hearing here in Chitungwiza, where a large crowd of police officers have flooded as we also hear that Moreblessing Ali has been buried?,” a circulating audio message stated on Wednesday morning.
Moreblessing Ali
At a time when her lawyer, Job Sikhala is in prison, the slain 46-year-old mother of 2, Moreblessing Ali’s remains are being forcibly buried Wednesday morning following police orders.
Ali was killed during incidents after leaving a bar at Chibhanguza Shopping Centre on May 24 when she was abducted allegedly by a ZANU PF activist, Pius Jamba.
Her decomposing body was found dumped in a ZANU PF leader Simba Chisango (Jamba’s mother)’s mother’s well at Dunnoter farm in Beatrice.
Her brother, Washington tells of his distress following the move saying even the ZANU PF President Emmerson Mnangagwa has been sending people to complain that he wanted to meet Moreblessing’s son, Silence and everywhere he would go, people were being asked by authorities concerning his whereabouts.
“We later had to put him into hiding, because anyone moving with him was ending up being followed.”
Washington Ali explains saying the reason Mnangagwa is after his nephew is “delays in burying his mother are affecting Mnangagwa’s political campaigns; everywhere he flies out, he is being asked about Moreblessing,” he says.
While exact details of the burial were not clear, Ali told ZimEye, “I am not sure maybe she has already been buried right now. I spoke to Nyasha. They came to the house last night saying they want to bury Moreblessing today.
“Yesterday morning I had received messages asking me, what is happening, because we are hearing that Moreblessing is being buried tomorrow.
“My brothers are unreachable. Solomon (Ali) is saying a large crowd of cousins arrived at the homestead today.
“It’s not the first time they are doing this. Some of my brothers are doing this.
“I asked why they want to bury her when so many people are in trouble because of her death. Job Sikhala is in jail because of her, but they are just interested in the body.
“Someone later told me that there is a certain police DEO Ngodzo who phoned saying she received orders from a group of police colleagues who say that Moreblessing must be buried today.
“I got calls from a reporter asking how true it is that Moreblessing’s remains are being buried today.
“The only person I got in touch with was Solo, who was saying the slain’s daughter Nyasha says she cannot be part of this.
“Even my mother says she does not know anything about the plans to bury her.”
At the time of writing, Mnangagwa’s spokesperson George Charamba was still to comment over the allegations that his boss has been sending emissaries. – THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY
Zanu PF Secretary for Finance, Patrick Antony Chinamasa is still a bitter man over the inclusion of his then 13-year-old Daughter on the United States sanctions list.
Chinamasa’s daughter Gamuchirai has since been removed from the list but the former Finance and Justice minister is still looking for answers why she was included when she was just a mere 13-year old girl.
Posting on Twitter, Chinamasa quizzed how a 13-year old person could be a threat to global security especially of America with all its mighty power.
“Monday the 12 December 2022 Gamuchirai my daughter brought to my attention a Social Media report indicating that the United States Authorities had removed her name from the OFAC Sanctions List.This event cannot pass without my comment.
“The United States Authorities imposed sanctions against Gamuchirai when she was only 13 years old. Someone needs to explain to me how a 13 year old girl child can pose a threat to the global security interests of the sole World Super Power, the Mighty USA,” said Chinamasa.
“Further someone needs to explain not only to me but to the Wider World how a 13 year old girl child can be sanctioned on the basis that she violated human rights. I am sure Hopewell Chin’ono can help explain.
“Ndinoyambira political activists who are on the beck and call of Western Countries not to swallow hook, sinker and line the propaganda churned out by Western Imperial Forces on the subject of Human Rights.They don’t mean what they say .They don’t practise what they tell you,” added Chinamasa.
