By-The son of the late Vice-President John Landa Nkomo’s Sandlasami was reportedly robbed of household property by his ex-girlfriend Tinevimbo Hove.

Tinevimbo reportedly broke into Sandlasami’s home in Paddonhurst suburb in Bulawayo and stole various goods as punishment for abandoning her.

State media reported sources as saying that Tinevimbo failed to stomach the rejection by Sandlasami who she had been staying with in Paddonhurst and thought of a way to punish him. Said the source:
At around 3 PM on the day in question, she teamed up with her friend Nyari Makoni and went to Sandlasami’s place.
Upon arrival, they broke into the house and took a 42-inch TV, knives, plates, pots, microwave oven, curtains, and groceries.
They ransacked the house and left things upside down.
Tinevimbo allegedly took Sandlasami’s cellphone and threw it into a bucket full of water.
After the burglary, Nyari reportedly sent Sandlasami a WhatsApp message threatening him.
When contacted for comment by the publication, Tinevimbo said she did not steal Sandlasami’s property but took the property that they bought together. She said:
I had taken wine and then I went to confront Sandlasami’s girlfriend, unfortunately, she was not there and we broke into the house and took the property that we bought together.
It’s not like we stole but it was our property since I contributed to buying it.
Sandlasami refused to comment saying, “I do not have a comment and I don’t think it’s worth any attention.”

By-The President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa has snubbed his African National Congress’ highest decision-making body, meeting to discuss his fate.

ANC’s National Executive Committee gathered on Friday to decide whether Ramaphosa should stay on after an inquiry found evidence of misconduct over cash hidden at his farm.

Ramaphosa did not attend the Friday meeting without reason. 

His future has been in doubt since publication on Wednesday of a report by a panel of experts investigating the alleged theft of millions of dollars stuffed into furniture in the multi-millionaire leader’s Phala Phala game farm in 2020.

Ramaphosa has denied any wrongdoing and has not been charged with any crime. The president has said the money was much less than the $4 million to $8 million reported, and that it was the proceeds of game sales at the farm.

The media has dubbed the affair “Farmgate”.

For the investigators, the theft, which only came to light in June, has raised questions about how Ramaphosa acquired the money, why he wasn’t keeping it in a bank and whether or not it had been declared to authorities.

Ramaphosa put a pledge to fight endemic graft at the heart of his successful drive to oust predecessor Jacob Zuma in 2018.

The more than 80 officials of the ANC’s decision-making National Executive Committee (NEC) were meeting at a conference venue in the south of Johannesburg. A Reuters correspondent saw Deputy President David Mabuza and former president Thabo Mbeki arrive at the venue along with other NEC members ahead of the deliberations which were expected to take hours.

The Farmgate scandal has damaged South Africa’s image as a relatively stable investment destination and gateway to the continent. The country was only just recovering from several corruption scandals linked to Zuma, which authorities are now investigating. Zuma denies wrongdoing.

ANC CLOSES RANKS

Senior figures who analysts consider close Ramaphosa allies closed ranks around the president on Friday.

Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana told Reuters in an interview he thought Ramaphosa should continue with his job, doing whatever he could to defend himself against the panel report including possible legal action.

He sought to reassure financial markets that no change to the fiscal framework was imminent and that he would be willing to stay as finance minister even if Ramaphosa were to resign.

ANC Chairman Gwede Mantashe, in an interview with local television station Newzroom Afrika, denied Ramaphosa was considering resigning and said the president was giving space for the report to be interrogated and tested.

“My own view is that it would be premature for the president to just step down without a due process,” said Mantashe, who serves as energy and mines minister in Ramaphosa’s cabinet.

South African rand and government bonds rebounded on Friday, after Thursday’s panic-selling on speculation in local media that Ramaphosa was considering leaving.

Two other ministers in Ramaphosa’s cabinet, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, Zuma’s ex-wife who narrowly lost the ANC’s 2017 leadership contest to Ramaphosa, and Tourism Minister Lindiwe Sisulu, who has campaigned to be elected ANC leader at the party conference this month, have called on the president to step down.

If Ramaphosa survives Friday’s NEC meeting, which seems likely given the strength of his support, he could still face impeachment in a drawn-out process. But he is likely to survive even that action given the ANC’s dominance of parliament.

By-South Africa’s governing party, the African National Congress’s highest decision-making body, has saved President Cyril Ramaphosa from losing the country’s top job.

Tinashe Sambiri|Outspoken cleric Bishop Ancelimo Magaya has challenged CCC MPs to shun the Zanu PF leader Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa’s “stinking” money.

The hard-hitting clergyman man warned the MPs against selling their souls to the devil.

According to Bishop Magaya, Mnangagwa is using the money to divide the citizens movement.

Below is Bishop Magaya’s statement:

It is over simplicity and being greedy on the part of CCC MPs to justify and be part of money looting spree at a time when citizens are looking for a different crop of leadership. Indeed the love of money has caused division. Saddest.

Is this time to receive money and clothing…. Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you.(11 Kings 5: 26 – 27). Whilst gifts/loans in themselves are good, know when to receive them.

Tinashe Sambiri| CCC leader President Nelson Chamisa has warned party MPs to stop drooling over Zanu PF rotten carrots.

Zanu PF has dangled USD 40 000 cash to Members of Parliament and the move is triggering anxious moments in the CCC camp.

“Our objective is to transform citizens’ lives. We will not be swayed by side shows. Our MPs have an obligation to serve the citizens. They ( Zanu PF bigwigs) must use the money to revive the health system,” President Chamisa said during an online presentation on Wednesday.

President Chamisa has also said tired Zanu PF politicians cannot resolve the country’s political melee.

According to President Chamisa, Zanu PF apparatchiks are sleeping on duty.

“WRONG LEADERS USUALLY HAVE WRONG PRIORITIES..The role of a government is to address citizens’ most urgent and pertinent needs.

When this is abandoned,such a government merits replacement.Any government that prioritizes ‘chefs’ over citizens is not fit for purpose. #CitizensFirst

Wake up Zimbabwe Arise from the dead! And Christ will shine on you,” said President Chamisa in a statement on Tuesday.

By James Gwati- South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Presidency is hanging in the balance following the damning Wednesday independent panel report that nailed him.

Ramaphosa Thursday attempted to respond to the report but later canceled the national address amid reports that he was seriously considering the next course of action.

Presidential spokesperson Vincent Magwenya told reporters in Cape Town Thursday evening that Ramaphosa was consulting before making any announcement.

News24 reported in the afternoon Thursday that Ramaphosa told his close allies that he was willing to step down.

In the aftermath of a Section 89 panel report, top party leaders have been frantically grappling with what it means for Ramaphosa.
“He said he is ready to leave,” a Cabinet minister said on Thursday morning.
The panel found that Ramaphosa may have violated the Constitution and anti-corruption laws in his Phala Phala dealings.
Ramaphosa is said to have told those closest to him that the report by the panel, led by former chief justice Sandile Ngcobo, was flawed in law, but he is not expected to put up a fight at a looming ANC national executive committee (NEC) meeting on Thursday evening.
Ramaphosa was locked in talks with his advisors and allies at his office in Cape Town on Thursday.
Two top ANC leaders told News24 that Ramaphosa would decide on a course of action before the NEC meeting.

“He will not wait for the NEC to determine his fate,” the source said.
Ramaphosa is under immense pressure following the release of the report by the independent panel, which made damning findings against him in relation to the theft of $580 000 (R10 million) from his game farm, Phala Phala, in Limpopo.
While he was locked in the meetings, Minister in the Presidency Mondli Gungubele briefed the media in Parliament.
Gungubele said Ramaphosa was doing well.
“The president appreciates the situation. But he needs to be informed by many things. You are dealing with a president here who is dealing with matters that happened at his house. It is a unique development. The president has subjected himself to the processes. He is dealing with corruption and he has been leading in that sense.
“It’s not easy to just take a decision. It’s also just not about you. Let’s wait for the president’s informed decision. He has a history of doing and he is quite an intelligent president,” Gungubele said.
According to him, Ramaphosa is expected to make an announcement in due course.
The independent panel, led by Ngcobo and appointed by Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, made damning findings against Ramaphosa in relation to the theft at the farm.
He failed to convince the panel that he had acted in accordance with the law and the Constitution after the burglary and theft, and could face an impeachment investigation by lawmakers.
The four charges include three instances in which Ramaphosa violated the Constitution for continuing to be engaged in paid work outside his duties as a member of Cabinet and for acting inconsistently with his office by asking his head of security, Major General Wally Rhoode, to investigate the matter.
MPs are expected to vote on Tuesday on whether or not to adopt the report.

By-South Africa has said that it could not supply Zimbabwe with more power than it does now because it “does not have any access to capacity”.

South Africa, through Eskom, has a contract with Zimbabwe to supply electricity.

The remarks come after the Zambezi River Authority’s directive to Zimbabwe to close its Kariba South hydroelectric power station due to a decrease in water levels. 

Eskom spokesperson Sikonathi Mantshantsha told The Citizen SA that the power utility cannot help Zimbabwe. 

Mantshantsha’s remarks were echoed by Energy and Political analyst Tshepo Kgadima who said Zimbabweans should brace themselves for a dark Christmas as the region awaits a recovery from the rainfall season. He is quoted as saying:

I don’t know how they would do that under the current climate, previous years, let’s say seven, eight years ago, that was feasible, but today is not at all, it’s not feasible.

And if they do it now, on political grounds and not on technical grounds or obeying the laws of physics then South Africa’s grid is going to collapse.

Here is the thing that we need to maybe ask the river system has a hydro capacity of 20 000 megawatts, now they knew this how many years ago? How come they’ve never done anything to increase that capacity?

According to a letter dated 25 November from the Zambezi River Authority (ZRA), which runs the Kariba Dam jointly owned by Zimbabwe and neighbouring Zambia, the dam no longer has any usable water to continue undertaking power generation operations.

ZRA noted that the Kariba South Hydro Power Station which provides Zimbabwe with about 70% of its electricity and has been producing significantly less than its capacity of 1,050 megawatts in recent years due to receding water levels caused by droughts.

By A Correspondent- An Esigodini man appeared in court after he fatally stabbed his girlfriend for receiving US$5 from another man she was suspected to be having an affair with.

The man Mlungisi Vundla (49) kept the body in the house for two days and on the third day tried to commit suicide by drinking a pesticide before seeking help from a neighbour.

Vundla was not asked to plead when he appeared before Esigodini Magistrate, Ms Menelisi Linda facing a murder charge. He was remanded in custody to December 12.

Prosecuting, Ms Nokukhanya Moyo said Vundla allegedly killed his girlfriend Sithokozile Sibanda (39) on November 7.

“On 7 November Vundla had a misunderstanding with his girlfriend after she had received money from another man which she wanted to use as bus fare. This resulted in a misunderstanding and the accused person stabbed the now deceased with a sharp object in the stomach and she died,” she said.

Vundla kept the body in the house and on November 10 he attempted to commit suicide by drinking a pesticide. He went to a neighbour’s homestead to seek assistance which then brought the matter to light.

Vundla was ferried to the United Bulawayo Hospitals for treatment.

During the national launch of the 16 Days of Activism Against GBV last Friday, the Minister of Women Affairs, Community and Small and Medium Enterprises Development, Dr Sithembiso Nyoni decried escalating violence against women and children.

She said from January to September 2022, 435 rap_e cases were reported and of these, 58 percent involved minors. She said a total of 959 s_3xual violence cases and 1 038 domestic violence cases were also reported during the period.

By A Correspondent- A couple from Chibara Farm in Concession was sentenced to 20 years each after the wife lured a 10-year-old girl and handed her over to the husband to s_əxually abuse her.

The wife watched as the husband rap_ed the minor, a neighbour’s child in Grade Three, on two different occasions.

The couple pleaded guilty to two counts of rap_e when they appeared before Bindura regional magistrate Mr Amos Mbobo who suspended two years for each for the next five years on the condition of good behaviour.

The couple will serve an effective 18 years each.

The prosecutor Mr Edward Katsvairo told the court that on September 17, 2020, at around 6 am the complainant’s mother left the minor at home while she went to work in Harare.

The minor was advised by the mother to sleep at her grandmother’s house.

The court heard that the accused’s wife persuaded the minor to sleep at her house instead of the grandmother’s because it was getting dark.

The minor agreed.

During the night the wife called the minor into the couple’s bedroom where the husband tripped the minor to the ground and rap_ed her while the wife watched.

The wife pacified the minor telling her not to scream because the ‘process’ was not painful.

The husband later threatened the minor with death if she revealed the matter and gave her US$5.

During the same night, the accused rap_ed the minor for the second time in the kitchen while the wife watched.

On November 7, 2020, the accused’s wife met the complainant’s aunt and told her that the minor had developed vag!nal sores.

The aunt quizzed the minor who opened up about the s_əxual abuse.

A police report was made leading to the arrest of the pair.

 By A Correspondent- Congolese man is in trouble for allegedly possessing a fake Zimbabwean identity document.

Benjamin Kabongo, who is based in Chiredzi, claimed to hail from Wedza.

He was not asked to plead when he appeared before Harare magistrate Dennis Mangosi, who remanded him in custody to today for bail consideration.

The court heard that Kabongo entered the country illegally, through an unknown port of entry, on an unknown date.

He hatched a plan to obtain Zimbabwean identity documents to regularise his stay in the country.

He allegedly took advantage of the mobile registration exercise and supplied false information to the Registrar General’s officers.

Kabongo purported to be Benjamin Tapiwa Nhira, born on January 25, 1983, in Mapingure Village under Chief Svosve in Wedza.

Due to this misrepresentation, Kabongo was issued a Zimbabwean birth certificate on September 24, in Chiredzi, by the Registrar General’s Office.

On November 24, Kabongo, who was in possession of a Zimbabwe national identity card bearing his photo and in the name of Benjamin Tapiwa Nhira, presented himself at the Registrar General’s Office in Harare with the intent to acquire a Zimbabwean passport.

Upon inspection of his identity card, and copies of birth certificate, officers noted some discrepancies which led them to investigate further.

Investigations revealed that he had fraudulently acquired the national identity card after supplying false information that he was a Zimbabwean.

This led to his arrest.

Pardon Dziva prosecuted.

They claim to experience mysterious irritations in their bodies whenever they attempt to make love.

They now suspect juju was used on them.

“We are appealing for spiritual deliverance because what we have been experiencing for the past five months is so mysterious that we can no longer remain silent about our bedroom affair,” said Garikai.

“I married my wife five months ago and we are yet to have a child and I strongly suspect that I could have been bewitched.

By A Correspondent- Handlers of Chillspot Records co-producer, Tafadzwa “Levels” Kadzimwe, have said they will comply with the authorities in their investigations.

A complaint has been lodged with the police over allegations the star record producer rap_ed his former girlfriend.

The matter has been reported at Borrowdale Police Station where Levels (33) is facing rap_e charges.

His former girlfriend, Ashley “Shashl” Moyo (23) is alleging Levels rap_ed her during the course of their relationship.

However, Levels’ handlers said they will not rely on social media reports in dealing with the issue.

“We cannot rely on social media speculation, we are still waiting to hear from the police.

“We will comply with the police once we have been approached,” said Levels’ legal representative.

The pair’s spectacular fallout has elicited in a flood of mixed reactions.

Levels and Shashl’s relationship appeared to have soured when the pair’s s_əx tape leaked over the weekend.

A number of celebrities have been fighting in Shashl’s corner.

Others are convinced Levels deliberately leaked the s_əx tape.

However, the saga took a new twist when it emerged Shashl has filed rap_e charges against Levels.

The docket has been circulating on social media with some people claiming the record producer was in hiding.

His legal representative cleared the air by saying they will comply with the authorities.

Reports yesterday appeared to suggest that Levels will give an exclusive interview with StarFM’s Ollah 7 today.

Government has finally decided to act on land barons and illegal settlements by crafting a cocktail of strategies that include reviewing legislation and setting up courts to specifically deal with them.

The fight against land barons is also targeting illegal settlements on wetlands.

Acting Information minister Jenfan Muswere said devolution funds would be availed to the Harare City Council and other municipalities for the purpose of strengthening the local authorities’ law enforcement capacities.

“The relevant legislation is being reviewed for the Zimbabwe Republic Police and municipal police to work together more efficiently, and for the establishment of Municipal Courts,” Muswere said.

He said government had concluded mapping of settlements against approved layout plans.

The next stage involves verification of settlements to determine those which conform to approved plans to pave way for regularisation and issuance of title deeds.

“Government notes and sternly warns against the sprouting of settlements on some State-owned land. Strict action will be taken against those, including leaders, who are found in clear breach of the country’s rural and urban land use laws,” Muswere said.

“Relevant legislation will also be reviewed to allow for this.”

Muswere said 347 suspected land barons had been arrested and 91 cases were before the courts, while 57 had since been finalised, with six convictions having been secured.

Government has also rolled out a five-year plan on wetland restoration from 2021 to 2025.

Six wetlands covering a total area of 600 hectares have been rehabilitated.

With regard to housing co-operatives, a dispute resolution committee to assist the Registrar of Co-operatives has been established.

A total of 129 cases have been resolved in 2022 countrywide.

By A Correspondent- An overzealous Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) officer risks having
money deducted from his monthly salary to pay up damages amounting to ZWL400 000 as punishment for his misdemeanours after he severely assaulted and tortured Ednock Dube, a Chitungwiza resident, for allegedly violating curfew regulations.

Tinashe Chinopfukutwa of Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) recently wrote a letter to ZRP Commissioner-General Godwin Matanga notifying him of his intention to apply in court for a garnishee order against the ZRP officer only identified as Chafunga and who is stationed at St Marys Police Station in Chitungwiza.

In the letter, Chinopfukutwa said payment of Chafunga’s monthly salary should be garnished by Salary Services Bureau, which processes government employees’ salaries, and channelled to offset a debt which he owes Dube.

Chafunga together with Matanga and Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage Minister Hon. Kazembe Kazembe were on 16 September 2022 ordered by Chitungwiza Magistrate Sheunesu Matova to pay ZWL400 000 in damages to Dube after holding them liable for the violation of the Chitungwiza resident’s fundamental rights.

The 46 year-old Dube sued Chafunga, Matanga and Kazembe in April 2021 for compensation for pain and suffering and embarrassment and humiliation after he was subjected to unlawful assault, torture and inhumane and degrading treatment at the hands of some ZRP officers who
included Chafunga.

Dube had been arrested by ZRP officers on 25 February 2021 while on his way home from work for allegedly violating the curfew regulations imposed by government in 2020 in a bid to stop the unnecessary movement of people and to curb the spread of coronavirus. He was taken to St Mary’s Police Station, where he was detained in the police cells while
Chafunga handcuffed him to a pole and assaulted him with a truncheon on his head and hands.

As a result of the assault, Dube ended up nursing a fractured finger and sustained injuries to his eye and thereby limiting his eyesight.

He was then assisted by Chinopfukutwa of ZLHR and successfully sued Hon. Kazembe, Matanga and Chafunga for damages at Chitungwiza Civil Magistrates Court.

Dube is the latest person to be assisted by ZLHR to garnish the monthly salary of some offending ZRP officers for their delinquencies.

In March 2017, a Mutare Magistrate granted an application to garnish $100 per month from Constable Crispen Chikazhe in satisfaction of a judgment debt, which was granted against the police officer for his barbarism when he tortured Brighton Sanyanga, then a 19-year-old pupil
at Pafiwa High School in Mutasa District in Manicaland province.

Sanyanga, who at the time was an Advanced Level student at Pafiwa High School, was tortured by Chikazhe, who had invited him to attend at Nyanga police station to answer allegations of malicious damage to property which had happened at the school after a demonstration allegedly staged by students. Chikazhe, in an effort to extract information from Sanyanga, tortured the student physically by exposing him to electrical shock and psychologically by threatening to kill him.

Sanyanga’s lawyer Peggy Tavagadza of ZLHR intervened by suing Chikazhe on behalf of the student to ensure that the law enforcement agent paid for his cruel actions.

By A Correspondent- Grant Mashasha, who spent more than a decade indoors, including time in the ceiling of the family home in Zengeza 3, is beginning to emerge from his nightmare.

A family spokesperson said Grant spent four days hiding in the ceiling, and not more than a decade, as has been widely reported.

She revealed Grant was afraid that someone was after his life.

Nobuhle Mashasha told H-Metro that Grant, 39, is under the care of health experts, and is gradually opening up about his ordeal.

He was confined to his home, where he spent some time in the ceiling.

His mother Gogo Plaxedes Mashasha is in custody for failing to report the death of her husband.

“We managed to meet and talk to Grant upon our arrival from Gwanda,” said Nobuhle, his niece.

From how he looked on the day he was retrieved from the ceiling, Grant has changed completely, showing a healthy, handsome face.

“He feels stressed to quickly open up about how he came to be kept indoors for 10 years.

“He told us that he had been living in a room and slept on a sofa for 10 years, not 14, as reported.

“He spent four days in the ceiling, frightened by his mother’s threats that there were people after his life.

“He is beginning to understand that there is no one after his life and is now interacting with others.

“He is still scared of answering some questions thinking that someone might still be targeting his life,” said Nobuhle.

She said they read about the death of her grandfather in H-Metro, as her grandmother never informed anyone.

She also thanked the Zengeza residents for their support, and invited those who were free to join them at their rural home in Gwanda for her grandfather’s burial.

NewZimbabwe.com journalist Leopold Munhende was on 28 November 2022 charged for publishing falsehoods in a story that the online platform published on 21 September 2022.

Munhende was charged for contravening Section 31 of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act. He is accused of communicating falsehoods prejudicial to the State.

The police said they charged Munhende in his capacity as the editor of the publication. However, the law enforcement agents were informed that Munhende was in fact not the NewZimbabwe.com editor, they insisted on charging him for the crime.

MISA Zimbabwe deployed lawyer Chris Mhike to represent the stricken journalist.

The police specifically allege that Munhende published an article on NewZimbabwe.com that Mnangagwa had fled protesting Zimbabweans in New York. The article said dozens of aides had to shield the Zanu PF leader at the airport.

The police said Munhende knew or realised that there was a real risk or possibility that his actions or words may adversely affect the defence or economic interests of Zimbabwe.

In the warned and cautioned statement, Mundende denied the allegations, and questioned why the police arrested and charged him when he was neither the author of the article, publisher nor the editor of NewZimbabwe.com.

Munhende was released at 17:15 hours, after about five hours of interrogation.

By- Bulawayo Polytechnic has banned the wearing of skin-revealing dressing on and off campus.

The college said the attire should not be worn at all functions hosted by the institution outside the campus.

According to a notice to students issued on 15 November 2022, the institution has banned ripped jeans, blouses that leave the stomach out, string, sleeveless and off-shoulder tops and dresses.
Tops and dresses that reveal cleavages and the back, biker and bum shorts, skin tights and other tight-fitting clothes, see-through clothes and skirts, shorts and dresses that are more than five centimetres above the knees are no longer allowed.
The wearing of caps in class and offices has been banned and male students are no longer allowed to wear any headgear except on religious grounds.
Dropping of trousers and shorts and wearing slippers is not allowed by the institution.
Bulawayo Polytechnic Principal, Chiedza Masanganise explained that the students’ dress code is in line with the institution’s mandate to train and groom professionals for commerce and industry. She added:

As an institution, we encourage you to be dressed according to your trade.

 By- The opposition leader, CCC Nelson Chamisa, has slammed President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government for its alleged misplaced priorities.

Posting on Twitter on Wednesday, Chamisa said it is “morally and ethically wrong” for the government to give out loans to “chefs” when the majority of the country’s citizens are suffering.

This comes after the government has offered a US$40 000 housing loan to each sitting Member of Parliament (MP), US$500 000 for individual ministers, and US$350 000 for their deputies. Said Chamisa:

In any public office, any decision that prioritises self over the served is morally wrong, especially in a context where poverty pervades with citizens so hard-pressed and in circumstances of lack! Wrong leaders usually have wrong priorities.

The role of a government is to address citizens’ most urgent and pertinent needs. When this is abandoned, such a government merits replacement.

Any government that prioritises ‘chefs’ over citizens is not fit for the purpose. #CitizensFirst.

No public funds can ever be received or transacted silently. Accountability must always be full!

Arguably, the majority of CCC supporters who have expressed their thoughts on social media have criticised the party’s MPs for accepting the loans, saying they are selfish.

Last month, Chamisa claimed that the ZANU PF-led government was bribing CCC officials to destabilise the opposition party ahead of the 2023 elections. He said:

Anything that is valuable is bound to be betrayed or sold out. Economic circumstances are not for the lily-livered and the weak-kneed. Some are very sensitive to poverty and this economic environment has been very harsh.

Some would go for farms, nice cars, cattle, (and) coupons, while others will betray their birthright for a mere bowl of soup.

What is the birthright? Freedom, democracy, success and prosperity, the transformation of our country, good governance, citizen dignity — they will surrender those for their personal benefits.

But we learn from the best. (The late MDC leader) Morgan Tsvangirai never betrayed Zimbabwe.

However, CCC has not publicly stated its position on the issue of the loans, and reports suggest that only Harare North MP, Allan Norman “Rusty” Markham, has rejected the loan. | NewsDay

By-An armed robber raided a ZB Bank Victoria Falls branch on Wednesday afternoon and got away with an undisclosed amount of money believed to be more than US$100 000.

The armed robber walked into the banking hall pretending to be a client and was wearing a wool hat and a face mask, the Chronicle reported.

Unsuspecting bank staff watched as the suspect pretended to be completing bank slips until other clients left and that is when he pulled out a gun.

The suspect then proceeded to the counter and threatened bank tellers with the gun, ordering everyone, to lie down and they complied.

It is said that the suspect demanded cash which he loaded into a satchel that he was carrying and walked out of the banking hall. A source told the Chronicle:

By- An independent panel probing President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Phala Phala scandal has found a case against the South African head of state.

This was so despite Ramaphosa maintaining his innocence.

The section 89 panel of experts said that Ramaphosa may have committed serious violations of the law and serious misconduct in terms of the constitution.

“I have endeavoured, throughout my tenure as president, not only to abide by my oath but to set an example of respect for the constitution, for its institutions, for due process and the law.

“I categorically deny that I have violated this oath in any way, and I similarly deny that I am guilty of any of the allegations made against me,” said Ramaphosa, reiterating what he said in his submissions to the panel.
His office said it noted the report, which is due to be considered by a sitting of the national assembly on December 6, before it determines the way forward.
His spokesperson Vincent Magwenya said Ramaphosa was also applying his mind to the report and he would make an announcement in due course.
The section 89 panel findings may cause a headache for Ramaphosa when he appears before the last sitting of the National Council of Provinces to answer oral questions on Thursday afternoon.
A press briefing by Magwenya scheduled to take place on Thursday morning was cancelled following the release of the panel’s findings.
Political parties have in the meantime wasted no time baying for Ramaphosa’s blood, calling for him to step down.
National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula appointed former chief justice Sandile Ngcobo, judge Thokozile Masipa and advocate Mahlape Sello to the panel that conducted a preliminary assessment of the African Transformation Movement’s (ATM) motion of no confidence against Ramaphosa.
ATM leader Vuyo Zungula submitted a motion for the assembly to initiate an inquiry into Ramaphosa’s removal on the grounds of serious violation of the constitution or the law and serious misconduct over the theft of millions in foreign currency at his Phala Phala farm.
Zungula told TimesLIVE that the party feels “vindicated.”
“We feel vindicated and we hope that on Tuesday the members of parliament will vote to protect the constitution and the country because we can’t have a sitting head of state who has been found by an independent panel of judges that there is prima facie evidence that he has violated the constitution.” Timeove
