Mnangagwa’s Govt Caught Pants Down

Falsehoods by President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s lieutenants have been laid bare after officials from the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) hauled a man to appear in court and stand trial for allegedly criticising the ruling ZANU PF party leader for boasting that Zimbabwe had the strongest currency in the SADC region.

President Mnangagwa’s lieutenants had in October misrepresented before the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) during its 73rd ordinary session held in Banjul, The Gambia, that freedom of expression is guaranteed in Zimbabwe and that no-one had been arrested for criticising government or practising journalism.

The claims by government representatives before Commissioners of ACHPR and some delegates attending the ACHPR session was in response to submissions by Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) and other regional and international civic society organisations, which faulted President Mnangagwa’s administration, for failing to guarantee freedom after expression for ordinary citizens.

Now, the NPA on Wednesday 9 November 2022 hauled 43 year-old Robert Zakeyo of Rushinga in Mashonaland Central province to stand trial at Bindura Magistrates Court on charges of contravening section 33 (2)(b) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act.

The trial of Zakeyo, who is represented by Gift Mtisi of ZLHR, came after NPA Acting Prosecutor-General Nelson Mutsonziwa, issued a Certificate of Authority to Prosecute leading to the Rushinga man being summoned to stand trial.

Zakeyo, who is an entrepreneur at Rushinga Business Centre and who had been out of prison custody on bail and after he had also been removed from remand, was arrested on 3 May 2020 after he was accused of posting a video clip on 1 May 2020 on a WhatsApp group called Rushinga Residents of President Mnangagwa issuing a press statement in relation to the strength of the local bond notes currency.

Prosecutors claimed that in the same video clip, there also appeared a lady who was dressed in opposition MDC Alliance party regalia uttering the word “musatanyoko” in vernacular purporting as if the lady was rubbishing President Mnangagwa’s sentiments on the competitiveness of Zimbabwe’s currency.

This reportedly incensed Author Chinyoka, the Acting Coordinator for the ruling ZANU PF party in Rushinga, who is the complainant in the matter, after he came across the messages while browsing through Rushinga Residents WhatsApp Group.

Zakeyo returns to court on 29 November 2022 after Bindura Magistrate Shingirai Mutiro postponed his trial, which could not commence, as he was overwhelmed with other cases.

William Chinyanga Trial Key Facts Proving Subjudice

Dear Justice Dove (case T20220157)

I once again approach you as the publisher of the article and broadcast content utilised in the case’s charges which have been twisted by the Prosecution in what could have been obtained in a split second of time so to save the court expenses.

The story line …the William Chinyanga case history

I write asking why you’ve gone ahead to once again put my news articles, broadcasts plus our cultural poetry ( the Defandant William Chinyanga’s jests) on trial without calling me up knowing fully my availability plus also the fact that these are my own articles under discussion in the trial beginning with the trigger incident in Charge Number 1, and how my name and my own authorship and its language use is cited throughout the trials.

You proceeded to try the Defendant without witnesses at a time when you know of written medical warnings in writing to you under which it was revealed to you that the Defandant is under duress from his defence solicitors in circumstances in which he has officially requested witnesses so to strengthen the administration of justice and so that the jury and the honourable court are not mislead at to what he uttered and also what he meant.

Since January 2022, you have also been aware of my own complaint highlighting that the Defandant is an abused PTSD victim whose utterances are our own cultural jests, which have been twisted for politics by the Complainant, as I continue to highlight to you that the utterances are poetry that I myself have uttered, and have never at any time been a threat to either Zimbabweans or any other person.

The Defendant’s solicitor’s conduct has been reported to you (and to authorities such as the SRA) for abusing her client, the Defendant, William Chinyanga, and this is happening at a time when the police office behind the William Chinyanga case has been publicly found to have breached professional standards on many counts following my complaints in Jan this year.

As you are already aware highlighted in the trial that the Complainant in this case has abused process by publishing in newspapers such as the Herald subjudicial articles influencing the jury, in what is tips unfairness against the Defandant and his leader Nelson Chamisa.

Are you not aware that since the trial is predominantly centered on language utterances, whose authors have been deliberately avoided, you have brought the honourable court into disrepute knowing these matters and that the Defendant did not have any witnesses, in what now constitutes can only now constitute cruelty against humanity but unfairness and a breaching of process?

Furthermore, are you not aware as highlightedin this email, that it is crucial to call to the witness stand, politician Nelson Chamisa and his party since the Complainant has violated this court hearing process by publishing articles that potentially mislead the jury in their judgement? Please see the attached articles that directly and subjudicially paint Nelson Chamisa and his party as an institution of terrorists due to and connecting with this case while it is still to be concluded, in news articles now accessible to the jury to date.

As in January 2022 when you were also contacted on an urgent basis by a mental health professional, I once again humbly request that you adjourn the proceedings and use your power as in Archbold, 8-3c: The judge has the power to call a witness who has not been called by either the prosecution or the defence, and without the consent of either, if it is necessary in the interests of justice.

Sincerely.

PS: AFFIDAVIT AND COMMUNICATION WITH DEFENCE SOLICITOR, 5 NOV 2022 –

Dear Madeleine Corr.

I am reaching out to you as a last minute attempt as you seem to have totally ignored this life threatening crisis, you have ability to salvage. The lives of scores of people including mine and your client’s are at risk.

May you kindly advise why you have made your client to drop off all witnesses, telling him that he does not even need the very author of the language, poetry, who is also the broadcaster of the incidents he is on trial over.

William Chinyanga has broken down in yours and my presence and so many other times in rejection of your demands to drop witnesses, in the period July 2021 to October 2022.

At the Old Bailey on 19 Jan 2022, you said you refuse witnesses because you have narrowed the case to, what William Chinyanga said, not the context (which position your team would change inside court). I am the both the author and originator of the poetry plus the type of protest he was making; so why force me out? Also, a lot of court time has already been wasted that could have been saved had the witnesses asked you by Chinyanga, been present. You totally excluded people like Henry Chimbiri (victims of the complainant’s violence) and Nelson Chamisa’s spokesperson Nkululeko Sibanda. Why do this against your client’s will, when it’s clear Sibanda and Chamisa’s shooting incident would be discussed in the court?

You are already aware of the many subjudicial and prejudicial publications utilised by the complainant against the case so to cause physical injury to scores of people to date since 2020-2022, as a result of the failure to provide my witness testimonial on William Chinyanga’s case.

Having been made aware that I am the author of the language, poetry (basis of the charges at hand), being also the publisher of all the incidents in charges 1 to 4 as already presented to you, may you kindly and urgently facilitate my witness testimonial, so that I speak as advised you by your client.

If you allow this, there won’t be any need for me to seek recourse at the SRA.

Below is my draft affidavit as presented to you on the 21st January 2022.

AFFIDAVIT COPY…

1. I Simbarashe Chikanza, a news reporter for the nation’s most read publication, and the other of the two most promiment journalists in Zimbabwe, will give evidence proving that I am a direct witness to the incident described on Charge-1 in whole as I personally interviewed on live video witnesses at the spot viewed by more than 32,000 viewers, and there were multiple confirmations on video that live ammunition was fired into a crowd at Marondera.

I will give evidence that William Chinyanga was in perfect context when he filmed himself on the 1st December 2019, of which I will show what he uttered was in immediate response to that shooting, plus events running 3 months into that date when he began complaining against rising terrorism, the first incident which filmed was before British Police in Coventry.

I will give evidence that the content of William Chinyanga’s speeches is my own language authorship: common jesting done in both Zimbabwe and the United Kingdom, and which I myself and millions others have used over several years. I will give evidence that I have communicated more graphic statements, and have never at any time threatened or hurt anyone, and neither breached British, Zimbabwean or any terrorism legislation around the world.

I will give witness that Mr William Chinyanga is not at all lying that he was speaking of the shooting into a crowd at Marondera on the 1st Dec 2019.

2. I Simbarashe Chikanza, will testify that I am witness to all the events described in Charge 2 to 4 which William Chinyanga lyrically and poetically spoke of. I will give evidence that this is mere poetry and no threat to any person at any time, and more firmer language has been used in the desperate effort to highlight the gravity of the humanitarian crisis and ongoing criminality.

I will give evidence that the communications are widely viewed as such and have never at time nor will they ever be offensive.

3. I Simbarashe Chikanza will give evidence that I am a reporter of several years who has advised law enforcement in Europe, Zimbabwe and UK, on all these events and has done so, competently in ways that have saved the British taxpayer millions of pounds, and in the last 5 months alone saved 18 million citizens of Zambia some Zimbabweans, as attested by senior legal experts in Africa and UK.

4. I Simbarashe Chikanza will give evidence proving that British law enforcement agents on the William Chinyanga case have avoided me for a period of over 2 years despite be being a direct witness and more so that I have on numerous accounts availed myself. I will supply several communication records to the effect in what could have save the honourable court time and money.

5. I Simbarashe Chikanza will provide of exact Zimbabwean cultural and language jesting in the form of news editorials and other poetic discourse which include my own song that has similar words described in Charge 2-4 including targeting Emerson Mnangagwa’s motorcade and using live legal ammunition to stop criminals.

6. I Simbarashe Chikanza will present before the court that if William Chinyanga has offended any laws, then I should the first to be prosecuted. I avail must for arrest.

7. I Simbarashe Chikanza will give evidence that the Claimant has violated this case and attempted to mislead the honourable court by publishing in the news pre emptive allegations already concluded on by a separate judicial process done in Zimbabwe in what I will present is nothing else than a phishing exercise which will bring the court into direspute.

8. I Simbarashe Chikanza will give testimony that there is no one in Zimbabwe or United Kingdom who was offended or unsettled by William Chinyanga’s statements as they viewed them as mere jesting.

9. I Simbarashe Chikanza will give evidence and testimony that before and after the arrest, the Complainant and her agents have tried to twist William Chinyanga’s jests so that they appear criminal, and all this for a political purpose.

10. I will present clear evidence that proves that law enforcement have brought up a defective case that must be dismissed.

Housebreaker Escapes From Prison

 By A Correspondent- A housebreaker recently jailed for 35-months after two counts of unlawful entry and theft escaped from jail in Karoi on Saturday.

Police have now launched a manhunt for Gift Kavande (25), with national police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi asking anyone who can help police track him down to contact any police station.

The Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services recently said 116 inmates, 64 last year and 52 this year, escaped from jail between January last year and October this year, although police have so far arrested 40 of these.

Most of the fugitives were B class prisoners, who were allowed to be outside for work duties while serving their terms at medium-security prisons.

ZPCS national public relations officer, Chief Superintendent Meya Khanyezi, said Harare Central and Chikurubi Farm prisons had high incidences of prison escapes.

“Harare Central and Chikurubi Farm prisons have a high incidence of escapes since these stations have more B class inmates, who go out of prison to work,” she said

Most fugitives, she said, sneaked away after asking for permission to answer the call of nature.

“Some A class inmates also abscond since they will no longer be under escort of a prison officer, given that they are of less risk and would have exhibited good behaviour,” said Chief Supt Khanyezi.

ZPCS is installing closed-circuit television systems at maximum prisons, arming its officers and reinforcing the canine section to avert future prison breaks.

In March, a convicted armed robber was recaptured by police after escaping from Harare Central Prison. He spent four months on the run.

Richard Sasumba (40) was subsequently charged with attempting to escape from lawful custody. Herald

5 Best Left-Footed Footballers to Have Won the Ballon d’Or

The Ballon d’Or is the most prestigious award that can be awarded to a footballer on an individual level.

Players who can win this coveted award have splendid careers decorated with numerous titles.

Generally, the award isn’t selective; it can be awarded to Goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and attackers. However, the attackers seem to dominate the Ballon D’or history because they often get all the goals and assists.

In this article, we will look at some of the best players to have won the Ballon d’Or. Specifically, we will focus on the left footers.

One enormously talented left-footer who will not be on our list is Mesut Ozil. The eagle-eyed midfielder was a star at the 2010 World Cup.

However, his star has waned since he left Arsenal, with the midfielders increasingly diving into esports (with amazing esports opportunities provided on bookmaker.xyz/esportsbookmaker.xyz/esports)

Alright, in this article, we’re going to discuss five of the best left-footers to have won the award.

Lionel Messi

It’s impossible to talk about the Ballon D’or without mentioning Lionel Messi. He has dominated the award in lengths.

When writing this article, he has a whopping 7 Ballon D’or awards, two clear of his closest rival, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Of course, it’s public knowledge that the Argentine is a left-footer, operating majorly from the right flank. Messi won his first Ballon d’Or in 2009 at 22 years old, making him one of the youngest to win the award.

During his illustrious career, Messi has amassed 41 titles for club and country while also building up a portfolio of personal awards, including five golden boots, 1 FIFA player of the year award, a La Liga Player of the year, and many more.

He is arguably the most prolific left-footer on the planet.

Rivaldo Vítor Borba Ferreira

Rivaldo is one of the few left-footers to win the Ballon d’Or. The Brazillian majorly played in an attacking midfield position, but he occasionally played as a second striker.

Rivaldo received his Ballon d’Or award in 1999 and doubled up with a FIFA World Player of the Year.

To clinch the award, Rivaldo won a La Liga title with Barcelona and finished the season as the league’s second goal scorer with 24 goals.

In the same year, he won the Ballon d’Or; Rivaldo also clinched the Copa America with Brazil, where he was awarded the Player of the Tournament.

He hung up his boots in 2013 with his native club Sao Caetano.

Alfredo Stéfano Di Stéfano Laulhé

Yet another Argentine finds its way into our list of best left-footed footballers to have won the Ballon d’Or.

Alfredo Di Stefano was a legendary footballer once regarded as the best footballer of all time.

Aside from Messi, Alfredo is the only Argentine to have won the award more than once; he won it twice in 1957 and 1959.

He scored 308 goals throughout his Real Madrid career, winning eighteen trophies in eleven seasons.

Aside from his double Ballon d’Or, Alfredo Di Stefano is the only Player to be awarded a Super Ballon d’Or.

In 1989, he was awarded the Super Ballon d’Or. That award is probe found in the Real Madrid museum today.

Johan Cryuff

Johan Cryuff is more than a traditional left-footer. Notably, he plays comfortably on both feet.

When you talk about revolutionary football skills, Cruyff is your man. He invented the football philosophy known as “Total Football.”

And Barcelona are forever grateful to him for setting the groundwork for their famous tiki-taka football ideology.

As a player, Johan Cryuff won the Ballon d’Or three times in 1971, 1973, and 1974. He is the only Dutchman to win a triple Ballon d’Or.

During his spell with Barcelona, he won a European Cup, Four La Liga titles, one Copa del Rey, and four Supercopa de Espana. He is the most decorated Dutchman in football history and an excellent coach.

Kaka

While this list majorly contains dedicated left-footed players to have won the Ballon d’Or list, we will shift a bit to include a prestigious dual footer: Kaka.

At his peak, Kaka was easily one of the best players in the world. He made this evident in 2007 when he clinched his first and only Ballon d’Or.

Kaka’s award was pretty significant because it was the first award that clubs outside UEFA federations were eligible for nomination, and he made good use of that opportunity.

Quite notably, Kaka was the last Player to win the Ballon d’Or before the Messi – Ronaldo dominance began.

Throughout his career, Kaka won the 2002 World Cup, champions league, Serie A, UEFA Super Cup, Spanish Cup, Spanish Super Cup, Two Confederations Cups with Brazil, and many more.

To draw the curtains, this is our list of the best-left footers to have ever clinched the Ballon d’Or.

Left-footed players are generally pretty scarce, especially in the Ballon d’Or history books. These players inarguably built a reputation of genius, ruthlessness (in the front of the goal), and flair in football.

We are forever grateful for the sweet memories they dished us on the pitch.

Mark Ngwazi Blasts Loose Women

MARK Ngwazi says he keeps a busy schedule to avoid temptations from loose women.

The sungura artist reckons some of his peers tend to invite trouble as they are found everywhere.

The Njanja Express leader opened up as he celebrated eight years in the game as a professional artist. A number of festivities, starting this weekend, will take place.

However, it is Ngwazi’s philosophy and resilience in life, which he shared with H-Metro, which is set to inspire other artists, and his followers.

He conceded he was also surprised by his own ascendancy to the elite league of stars.

Ngwazi says the challenge for him was to maintain the golden touch, humility and focus.

Belief

The 34-year-old, who is enjoying rave reviews with his recent releases, said he has always kept faith in his mission.

“I didn’t get it on a silver platter and it still resembles a miracle that I am where I am today,” said the singer, who was raised in the Njanja area.

“Growing in the rural areas, life was never easy but we found comfort in playing homemade guitars.

“In my case, I was just following my passion until I became a professional artist in 2015, when I released my first album, Zvandigumbura.

“We were never taken seriously in the studio because we were nonentities but, after my breakthrough, producers are now jostling to sign me at their studios.”

Fame

Now that he has made a breakthrough in music, Ngwazi has vowed to remain humble.

“I have noticed that there are so many changes for me.

“As a role model, I am now required to handle fame and avoid being reckless.

“I can’t afford to be foolish or be found doing some bad things since I am now a public figure.

“I’m just humbled by the fact that all this has happened in a short space of eight years.

“Some of the artists take up to 20 years before making a breakthrough and, in my case, I see the grace of the Lord in all this.”

Women

Ngwazi also conceded that he was not spared from the temptation of loose women, who literally threw themselves at him.

However, Ngwazi has a better way of dealing with these women. “I have devised a plan to deal with this issue of women by keeping myself busy.

“From Friday to Sunday, I will be doing shows and, in-between, I will be in the studio or at home with my family.

“I don’t go everywhere because I am afraid I might end up inviting trouble, especially loose women,” he said.

Ngwazi said he takes female fans as sisters.

“By the way, I have a lot of respect for women because they woo fans to my shows.

“As a way of respecting them, I take them as my sisters.

“I don’t have problems with them because they are the ones who bring food to my table.”

Ngwazi Brand

As he marks eight years as a professional, Ngwazi is still hungry for more.

“Currently, I have 15 band members that I pay, which translates into 15 households.

“If all goes according to plan, I would like to employ 30 people and make sure that my brand grows.

“I also want to empower others because I was also helped along the way to be where I am today.”

Discography

“I recorded my first album, titled Zvandigumbra in 2015, which was followed by Gudo Muriwo in 2017.

“It was followed by Charger Yekatsono in 2018, Mudzimu (2019), Chamugwegwedu Chamatindike (2020) and the current one Nharo Nezvine Nharo.

“When I recorded all these albums, I never thought people would embrace me to be honest.

“It’s only now that I see the hand of the Lord and I am glad that God has remembered me in a big way,” he said.

Celebrations

Ngwazi said the eighth anniversary will not go unnoticed.

“From now, till the end-of -year, we will be celebrating this milestone during our shows.

“On Friday, we are launching the celebrations at LongCheng and Highfield on Saturday.

“We have lined up other shows countrywide and we are ready to celebrate with fans,” he said.

William Manondo scored his 17th goal of the season as CAPS United played out to a 1-1 stalemate with city rivals Dynamos at the National Sports Stadium yesterday.

The 31-year old cooly dispatched a 34th minute penalty awarded to the Green Machine by referee Brighton Chimene after Emmanuel Jalai had brought down Ian Nyoni in the box.

CAPS coach Lloyd Chitembwe hailed Manondo’s consistency throughout the season.

“I think William deserves it. He has been very consistent,” Chitembwe said in his post-match interview.

“The most difficult thing is to score a goal. It’s easy to assist, it’s easy to defend, it’s easy to just play football but it’s not so easy to score and for him to score 17 goals in this season when the team is struggling, one can only imagine if the team was doing so well,” added Chitembwe.

Manondo is the first CAPS player since Leonard Tsipa in 2016, to win the golden boot.- Soccer24 Zimbabwe

ZEC Blocks Mwonzora By-Election Bid

By- The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission ZEC has cancelled a by-election for Victoria Falls Ward 8 Councillor Joseph Dzangai.

This was after Mwonzora had withdrawn the by-election.

The party had mistakenly taken Dzangai for a loyalist of CCC president Nelson Chamisa.

The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) had to cancel the by-election called to replace Dzangai. ZEC Chief Elections Officer Utloile Silaigwana wrote Friday:

This notice serves to advise the public that the Election Notice published by the Commission on 20 October 2022 on the occurrence of a vacancy in Ward 8 of Victoria Falls Municipality is hereby withdrawn.

This withdrawal follows a letter dated 3 November 2022 by the Town Clerk of Victoria Falls Municipality advising the Commission that the MDC-T had erroneously recalled the incumbent Councillor.

In October, Mwonzora issued recalls on MDC Alliance councillors in Binga, Gweru and Victoria Falls accusing them of being loyal to Chamisa.

MDC-T spokesperson Witness Dube on Friday told ZimLive that Councillor Dzangai “had been erroneously recalled because processes to determine his membership had not been completed”. He added:

The party has profusely apologised to him. Membership to the party is subject to our party constitution, and if he is expelled from the party because of violating his membership, he has to be recalled.

Put simply, our party constitution Article 5 provides for the expulsion of any member who ‘joins or supports’ another party while holding on to the party membership.

Party organs have to determine whether he has ‘joined’ or is ‘supported’ by another party.

Mwonzora Blocks Tsvangirai Aide 

By- MDC-T leader, Douglas Mwonzora’s spokesperson, Lloyd Damba, said that the secretary for projects Norest Marara is not yet eligible to contest the party presidency.

This follows reports that Marara wants to challenge the current MDC-T leader Douglas Mwonzora at the congress set to be held before the 2023 general elections.

But speaking during an interview with NewsDay’s Taurai Mangudhla, Damba said Marara was not part of the 2014 structures but merely a friend of the late MDC-T leader Morgan Tsvangirai. He said:

It has never been our culture for any single individual to nominate themselves to any particular position in the party.

I saw on social media that he declared his candidature for the position of party president, but I doubt if he is qualified to stand for that position or any other position in the national standing committee because one needs to have been in the party structures for a continuous period of five years.

The current structures are those built on the remnants of the 2014 congress structures which we used at our extraordinary congress on December 27, 2020, but Marara was not part of these structures, only that he was sympathetic to the MDC through his friendship with our late leader Morgan Tsvangirai.

Now if friendship with our late leader is the constitutional qualifying factor then definitely he is qualified.

Asked about when Marara officially became an MDC-T party member, Damba said:

It was only in October 2020 that he volunteered to join president Mwonzora’s campaign team which was called the Donkies and that is how many people, myself included, got to know him in political circles.

From the records he has produced on social media for everyone to see, he only applied to be a member on August 16, 2022, and he paid his backdated subscriptions.

On January 10, 2022, when he wanted to be allowed by his Harare Central District to contest for Parliament he had to pay a candidate fee to the National Elections Directorate of US$100.

Now if you go by his narrative, then it means he is not even supposed to be spoken of as a candidate because he is not qualified.

One can only become a member after he has been admitted into the party and his admittance into the party as per his records is August 16, 2022, and for the past 22 years, he has not been a member but a sympathiser.

We will be happy to invite you, members of the media, to inspect the records because they are still in our vaults and the same was used for the 2020 extraordinary congress.

Mwonzora Confirms Getting Farm From Zanu PF

By-MDC-T leader Douglas Mwonzora has said reports claiming that he was given a farm and a brand-new Mercedes-Benz by President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government are meant to tarnish his image.

Through his spokesperson Lloyd Damba, Mwonzora said he is entitled to government perks as leader of the opposition in Parliament and has been a farmer since 1998.

Mwonzora’s spokesperson issued a statement this Sunday which was published by ZBC News. It reads:

Response to the article, “Mwonzora gets farm and Mercedes Benz”

The article is malicious. The Leader of the Opposition in Parliament has different perks to all other Members of Parliament since he has the status of a Cabinet Minister.

The Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly has the status of a Deputy Minister and gets perks slightly bigger than other Members of Parliament.

This was always the case and it is Government Protocol.

Gibson Sibanda back then from 2000 until 2008 was given these packages when he was the Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly.

After the 2013 elections, Thokozani Khupe was the Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly and got the same packages.

The Opposition Ministers including Chamisa, Biti, Ncube, David Coltart, etc got perks including Mercedes Benz cars. They also got land, in particular Nyanga, as Ministers. There are government records to prove this if anyone cares to check.

President Douglas Mwonzora started farming in Nyanga as far back as 1998 and there is nothing sinister about him being a farmer and it’s on record.

The package he got as Leader of the Opposition is no different from those received by his predecessors.

This is one of the smear campaigns by people who have no knowledge of Government protocols, Processes, Procedures and Governance.

New Liquor Production Systems A Licensed Drug Abuse Frontier- Mliswa

Temba Mliswa and Mary Mliswa


By Staff Reporter- While the recently sprouting liquor system was arguably a new form of drug abuse the production systems remained officially licensed with calls for an inquiry into their health and drug free best practice standards.

It remains a soar on society as drugs and alcohol abuse continually remains a contemporary scourge on society, culture as the inherent Indegenous Knowledge System’s (IKS) alterations, despondency and crime among many other of their ills.

Speaking during a campaign on Drug Abuse under the hashtag #SIYAGUKA at the late music icon, Oliver Mutukudzi, Pakare Paye Arts center in Norton over the weekend Mliswa emphasised that the booming liquor production business was arguably contributing to drug abuse.

It however, remained legal as the companies were licenced.

“I agree that the increased spirits and alcohol production lines have contributed to the surge in drug abuse but the companies are licensed and there is little we can do as legislators as the same firm’s are licensed and operating legally.” Member of Parliament for Norton Constituency Themba Mliswa said.

Mliswa called for the potential scientific enquiry on the compliance of these producers to best alcohol production standards and health standards.

“I believe it is important that a scientific research following the establishment of centers of educational innovation excellence, science research institutes and the Standards Association of Zimbabwe inquire on the compliance of alcohol beverage producers to health standards as the use of some of these beverages have been tantamount to drug abuse.” Mliswa said.

The guest of honor at the anti drug awareness campaign emphasised that drugs had destroyed the cultural fabric of society as families and society’s had been broken down.

“Families are at war because of drugs and we have to step up our efforts in the fight against drug abuse. Children are selling property that they expect to use in the name of getting their next dose of Guka (Crystal Meth) and we have to address this through utilisation of education and empowerment .” Minister of State for Mashonaland West Provincial Affairs, Mary Mliswa said at the awareness campaign.

Drug Abuse is a major cause of social decadence and crime with the youth and children falling victim to peer pressure and using drugs to the detriment of their careers and not only their future but the nation’s.

The country has seen a surge in spirit liquor production firm’s with some exposing consumers to substandard products and unverified liquor percentages to the detriment of their health and wellness.

Hyenas Cause Havoc In Mutasa

MUTARE -Hyenas are causing havoc in Mt. Jenya, Matengambiri, Manhede and Mundenda villages in Mutasa District, Manicaland where they are killing livestock and causing villagers to live in fear.

Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Management (ZimParks) spokesperson Tinashe Farawo confirmed the matter. He however, said ZimParks rangers are stretched as they are dealing with similar cases across Manicaland Province.

“We have received a report and can confirm that there are hyenas wreaking havoc in Mt. Jenya and other surrounding areas. Unfortunately, at the moment we are a bit stretched because we are also in Makoni West where we are reacting to the same problem.

“However, we are encouraging our communities to try by all means to look after their livestock. They should not leave their livestock unattended to. Villagers should immediately contact us when hyenas attack and our reaction teams will be on the ground,” said Farawo.

Mutasa Central legislator Trevor Saruwaka said the hyenas invaded Mt Jenya, Matengambiri, Manhede and Mundenda villages in October 2022 and have been killing livestock.

“For the past month I have received reports of hyenas causing havoc in Mt. Jenya and surrounding areas. The affected communities are now living in fear of human life losses. There have been incidents of people being mauled by hyenas in Buhera, Bikita and Zaka. We appeal to ZimParks for help,” said Saruwaka.

Mutasa DDC Caroline Mudawariwo however, said no cattle deaths have been recorded. She also said that she was alerted over the matter last week and has since informed ZimParks.

“It is true that there are hyenas in Manhede area. I was alerted last week Friday and I have since informed ZimParks,” said Mudawariro.

Manhede villager Danny Mawondo told Chipinge Times that he lost three cattle to the hyenas and the hyenas are attacking at night at around 11pm. He pleaded for ZimParks to urgently deal with the hyenas.

“I lost three cattle and my neighbour also lost two cattle. We hear the hyenas laughing at around 11pm as they approach cattle pens every day. Most villagers have resorted to keeping their cattle in pens and away from paddocks,” said Mawondo.

Early this month the Government approved the establishment of the Human-Wildlife Conflict Relief Fund victims due to the increased number of conflicts and fight for limited resources between humans and wildlife.- Chipinge Times

Top Cop Detained Over Leaked Law Paper

By A Correspondent- The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission detained a senior police officer after discovering him in possession of an examination paper for a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree.

Superintendent Vigai Maunganidze appeared in Harare court on Saturday and was remanded in jail until a bail hearing today.

According to investigations, Maunganidze was apprehended by Zacc officers after receiving a tip.

According to the allegations, Maunganidze was already in possession of the paper he was supposed to write, which led to his detention.

Last night, Zacc spokesperson Commissioner Thandiwe Mlobane confirmed the arrest.

I can confirm the arrest of a senior police officer, Vengai Maunganidze, on Friday, November 11, 2022, on suspicions of illicit possession of an exam paper prior to the exam day, and he appeared in court on November 12, 2022.

Ivestigations are ongoing,” she explained.

The incident comes after police detained 109 students last month on suspicion of distributing a pirated Ordinary Level Mathematics Paper One, with officials reportedly considering amending the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) Act to impose harsher punishments for cheaters.

Investigators also detained an unspecified number of school and examination employees suspected of leaking the document.

Teen On The Run Over R_ape

By A Correspondent- A grade 5 pupil disclosed to her teacher how she was raped twice by a relative last year at her grandparents’ house in Mbare.

Harare provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Luckmore Chakanza, said the suspected 19-year-old rapist is on the run, while the girl was referred to Sally Mugabe Hospital for treatment.

“Police are investigating a case where a minor child was raped two times in a room where she was left sleeping,” said Insp Chakanza.

“Circumstances are that sometime in December 2021, the complainant and her brother were left by their mother at their grandparents’ place.

“They stayed at the place for two days and during one of the nights, the accused entered the room where complainant was sleeping together with her brother and raped the complainant without protection.

“On another night at the same place, the accused sneaked into the room again and raped the victim.

“The complainant did not tell anyone what had happened to her until on November 7 this year when she told her male teacher, who informed the girl’s mother,” said Insp Chakanza. H Metro

Mavaza Says: Chamisa To Salute ed This Time

By Dr Masimba Mavaza | Once again Zimbabweans are preparing to give a fresh mandate to a deserving party and a deserving man. As elections get closer in a faster way many parties will sprouting from all corners to congest the ballot paper. If every party which came from the MDC is to contest the ballot paper will be written back to back. MDC has exhausted the alphabet with its synonyms from MDC A to MDC Z Now it’s called CCC. Zimbabweans of all ages are being sold a dummy by the CCC. The opposition has blamed the economic down turn on ZANU PF.
Their campaign has been that ZANU PF has fronted corrupt cadres and is eating in the future of the youth. The youth are being told that they are not employed because ZANU PF has mishandled the economy..

The opposition in particular Nelson Chamisa has told rally after rally that if he is given Zimbabwe he will develop the country in three months. He told those who were listening that he will have a number of white people rushing to develop Zimbabwe’s economy. This Chamisa said will only be possible if he is elected president of Zimbabwe.
The youth and Zimbabweans at large must step down to reality. Economy can not be improved in three days.
Firstly a party has to be consistent. Being perceived as consistent is a crucial concern for political actors’ in their efforts to mobilize public opinion. Zimbabweans must have an analysis of the self-reflexive performance of consistency by Zimbabwean politicians and their parties focusing on the definitions and types of ‘consistency’ in political talk and their consequences.
A party must illustrate that consistency constitutes a spatiotemporal coordination among cognitions, actions (words and deeds), and the external world, while also being viewed as potentially transforming political reality. Perceived as a sought-after value indicative of truth-telling, determination, and clarity, political actors view consistency as an essential character trait, associated with ideological fortitude, and a basis for practical policy realization.
Many have been concerned about the ability of citizens to ground their specific political preferences in more general principles.
Looking at all political parties on the round ZANU PF has a longstanding intuition that can help citizens improve the quality of their political opinion. This is understood as the consistency between citizens’ specific opinions and their deeper political values.
What MDC was consistent in was breaking up and splitting up and giving unrealistic promises.
The rebranding of the MDC Alliance chapter as a political party, Citizens Coalition for Change renders itself to the slogan (Chamisa Chete Chete), a showing that Chamisa is selfish and power hungry. The personalisation of a political party is consistent with a Selfish Stupid Satanic, outfit. Since CHAMISA ascended to power he never denounced sanctions earning himself the name “Baba ma Sanctions,”. The sanctions which are used to kill national prospects, have perpetuated suffering of multitudes of our people and this behaviour of supporting sanctions is treasonous.
CHAMISA would use anything which promises to give him power to the extent that Tsvangirai the founding father of the movement was undermined by Chamisa who grabbed power in utter disrespect of the remains of the icon of the opposition movement. He instituted violence to stay in power without legitimacy. He could not retain the name MDC because it meant losing power hence he had to give the new party his own name and totem. If he could become President of Zimbabwe, we run the risk of having the country renamed Moyo State of Chamisa. The nation should be careful what they wish for. Chamisa is a dictator through and through. He has no morals, if he had any grain of values he could not align with Welshmen Ncube (MDC-N), Tendai Biti (PDP) and Job Sikhala (MDC 99) the counter revolutionaries of the labour movement.
The very people who gave Tsvangirai a heart attack are the same people who have been gathered together by CHAMISA to try and rebrand his new political outfit. This is actually urinating on Tsvangirai’s grave.
 All the politicians he surrounded himself with clearly rebelled against the late Morgan Tsvangirai in a bid to upstage the party and destroy it. Meanwhile Nelson Chamisa appeared loyal and implied disgust at the betrayal, but no, that was not the case. If anything this man is a snake in the grass. If he could have it his way he will befriend anyone for the sake of power, no wonder he started courting Grace Mugabe as a potential political partner.

So today the nation must not be fooled, Nelson Chamisa is leading CCC which for all purposes and intends is simply G40-2 and the big brains are Jonatrhan Moyo, Walter Mzember, Savior Kasukuwere, Patrick Zhuwao among many other discredited spend forces desperate to find some political space. The nation cannot be fooled by claims of human rights in order to give way to neo-colonial forces to influence the politics of Zimbabwe.
2023 is coming with all gloves off and knuckles up.
On the other side we must realise that since the new dispensation came into office their, most cherished wish and desire ,for which ED and his team laboured with vigour and passion unceasingly ,with firm determination, is to raise the lives of Zimbabweans and create jobs jobs and jobs for every capable person. This is the force which drives ED and he has set a national goal to achieve middle income by 2030. Every hand has been put on the deck with great importance placed on the goal and the desire that our people should attain this goal. This is not only a wish or desire but indeed a possibility. Zimbabweans are having great satisfaction everyday of seeing this goal coming to fruition.
Zimbabweans must realise that development is a process. It has been seen in the work being done by the new dispensation in developing the economy. We must be guided by the Chinese history of economic growth.
Chinese history of growth was not overnight but like China ED is saying we build our own nation. “Nyika inovakwa Nevene vayo.”Sanctions will not stop our resilient fighting spirit. Brick by brick we build Zimbabwe. People must not be fooled by the rhetoric being puked by the CCC whose promise is that the West will come running with money.
This is a party with no plan no constitution but planning to enter into power with an empty begging bowl.
We must be comforted to know that we are already making inroads in food security through dams and empowering farmers. ED has introduced command agriculture and Pfumvunza giving implements and livestock to capable farmers to revamp our ailing economy.
Zimbabwe is now under new management and going through a rigorous economic recovery. Infrastructure has been rehabilitated. Roads buildings dams have all been revamped. Zimbabwe now is halfway to the Middle income goal. Economic recovery is the business cycle stage following a recession that is characterized by a sustained period of improving business activity. Normally, during an economic recovery, gross domestic product (GDP) grows, incomes rise, and unemployment falls as the economy rebounds. Only this year the Civil service has employed over twenty thousand teachers and nurses. The army has recruited and still recruiting. The police and other security organisations have employed thousands of youth. 
It must be understood that during an economic recovery, the economy undergoes a process of adaptation and adjustment to new conditions, including the factors that triggered the recession in the first place and the new policies and rules implemented by governments and central banks in response to the recession. So the first years of the new dispensation things got tough but it was only when things got tough that the tough got going.
Recovery is an economy healing itself from the damage done, and it sets the stage for a new expansion.
We must not forget Covid19. ED led us out of Covid and we all are seeing the development we are marching through.
All we can say is give ED his second term. Let him finish his good works. A good coach does not change a winning team.
As we make a decision on whom to vote for in 2023 we must remember that ED is no1:
In the end, the recovery can change the patterns of economic activity in an economy, sometimes drastically and sometimes in barely noticeable ways. The economy heals the damage during the preceding parts of the business cycle by reallocating, reusing, and recycling resources into new uses, in an analogous way to how the body breaks down dead and damaged tissue in order to produce new, healthy cells and tissues after an injury.
Importantly, in order for the process of recovery to proceed, it is critical that the business and investment liquidations of the recession are carried out and the resources tied up in them are allowed to flow to new uses and new businesses.
Eventually, this process of recovery leads to a new phase of growth and expansion once resources have been mostly or fully reallocated across the economy. This can be seen in the programs which have been successfully completed.
This is the time the youth see the truth. There will never be a miracle recovery. ZANU PF has set the recovery going.
If you want to be employed soon allow ED to finish what he started. Vote ZANU OF and help Zimbabwe claim its bread basket position.
Zimbabwe is the only country which we can call ours.
Iwe neni tine basa.

Bulawayo City Council Should Avail Land than Demean Open Air Churches: Churches Leader Says

By A Correspondent| The Bulawayo City Council which recently had no kind words for churches practicing open air has been described as insincere.

Speaking on the sidelines of the Ecumenical Clergy Conference on Saturday in Bulawayo , Council for Churches in Africa president Dr Archibishop Rocky Moyo, the Bulawayo City Fathers should rather take the blame for failing to avail land to churches so they can built.

“The reason we have many churches sprouting on open spaces is that the City Fathers are failing to fulfill their ‘fatherly’ role of facilitating land for churches,” said the CCA boss.

“We have been encouraging our members to build infrastructure but we have some apostolic churches whose doctrines strictly allow them to worship in open spaces.
“However, as an organization we have organized that at least they should built ablution facilities,” added Dr Archibishop Rocky Moyo.

Recently the Bulawayo councillors were quoted in a local publication having linked the erratic rains to the mushrooming of open air churches.

Early this year, Deputy Mayor Mlandu Ncube told a council meeting there was the need to come hard on the open air churches since there is a provision for churches to legally acquire land for worship. However, Dr Moyo says more than 200 applications have been made to the Bulawayo City Council by CCA members some dating back to 15 years ago.

“Its a lie that churches are not applying for land because I can confirm that we have 222 applications some that were done 15 years ago.

” We wonder what it takes for Churches to get land from the city council, “questioned the cleric.

Meanwhile, dozens of church leaders including pastors, bishops and evangelists were trained on various aspects of religion including crafting of sucession policies in their churches.

Addressing delegates, Zanu PF director of research Dr Davison Gomo said churches should support government efforts.

“I implore you as churches to compliment government’s development agenda, Vision 2030,” urged Dr Gomo.

The conference started on Friday and ends on Sunday where the Bulawayo provincial minister Judith Ncube is expected to grace the event together with women’s affairs , community, SMEs development minister Sithembiso Nyoni.

Mwonzora Plans To Take Over CCC And Its Yellow Colour

By Dorrothy Moyo | The MDC T party leader Douglas Mwonzora is planning to take over Nelscon Chamisa’ party voters, it has emerged.

In a first of firsts, Mwonzora has over the last 12 months indicated this while saying Nelson Chamisa must not be allowed to cheat the electorate, by launching new parties. Mwonzora suggests that every supporter Chamisa has was acquired illegally and so in the ballot box, they must be allocated to him (Mwonzora).

Speaking to top journalists Garikai Chaunza and Lynette Manzini, Mwonzora said statements by his aide, Morgen Komichi to recall MPs and councillors who under Nelson Chamisa cannot be termed, hate speech.

All this has emerged at a time when it was revealed Mwonzora has received a farm amd a Mercedes benz from his own nemesis in ZANU PF.

Mwonzora hints saying a government of national unity is coming soon.

Mwonzora was also responding to a complaint raised by Hwange MP Daniel Molokele, and a female member of the crowd, when he said:

“The issue of hate speech… Komichi did not give any hate speech.

“Komichi stated a fact that we will not allow people that do not belong to us to continue holding our position that’s not hate; that’s stating the obvious that’s stating a party position, what is hate speech if I can give you an example, is because Mwonzora comes from Manicaland you call him Muzorewa, and all that, that is directed, that is hate now but if I say we will recall who don’t belong to us, that’s not hate at all.

“And Madam, what you understand about dignity and what I understand about dignity may be different, and as far as I am concerned to allow corrupt people to get away with it, is not promoting dignity.

“To allow corrupt councillors who steal from the poor, to continue keeping those positions, is not enhancing dignity, to allow people to cheat the electorate and then change political parties midstream is not to promote dignity.

“To allow lawlessnes and anarchy is not promoting dignity. The MDC has a constitution…”

Reza Accused Of ‘Criminally’ Pushing For The Arrest Of State Witness in Businessman Ken Sharpe’s Perjury Case

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) was instrumental in the arrest of a state witness in a case where Harare businessman Ken Sharpe is facing charges of perjury and malicious damage to property.

Michael Reza, the deputy prosecutor-general, is said to have penned the letter that cleared the way for the arrest of Harare City Council’s regional building instructor Roy Nyabvure.

Nyabvure was arrested at the Harare magistrates’ court on Tuesday on charges of criminal abuse of office because he allegedly did not circulate a housing plan used by businessman Georgios Katsimberis to construct a show house in Borrowdale, Harare.

The police officers that arrested him led by assistant inspector Evans Bota reportedly did not have a warrant of arrest.

It also took the police officers a whole day to come up with a charge against Nyabvure and they refused to disclose the identity of the complainant. 

During Nyabvure’s application for bail on Thursday, Bota initially said the complainant in the matter was the Harare City Council, but later said it was Pokugara Properties after he was quizzed by the accused’s lawyer Mutumbwa Mugabe.

Reza’s letter that was copied to the acting prosecutor-general, Special Anti-Corruption Unit, Police Anti-Corruption Unit, clerk of court regional, Harare magistrates’ court and Mutumbwa Mugabe & Partners – Legal Practitioners was produced as an exhibit during the bail hearing.

Reza also copied himself in the letter directed to the officer-in-charge of police’s Commercial Crime Unit dated October 14 where he claimed Nyabvure had finished testifying and has been cross-examined.

Nyabvure was arrested in court where he was scheduled to testify in the Sharpe case.The letter only has one stamp from the NPA.

Mutumbwa, whom the letter purports to be responding to, did not know about his existence. 

The Special Anti-Corruption Unit, which is prosecuting the case, was also said to be in the dark about the letter.

“Please be advised that Mr Nyabvure was a state witness in the perjury trial against Michael Van Blerk and Pokugara Properties (Pvt) Ltd,” reads Reza’s letter.

“He has since led his evidence in chief, was cross-examined and re-examined.

“He was thereafter excused by the court as his witness duties were completed.

“If he is a witness in any other case and if I may be favoured with the CRB, I will be able to check and verify for you.”

Katsimberis has approached the Constitutional Court challenging a September 2022 ruling by High Court judge Justice Siyabonga Paul Musithu dismissing his application to end his parallel prosecution.

The land developer argues the parallel prosecution relying on the same facts has resulted in the harassment of witnesses to weaken his case.

Pokugara once caused the arrest of Katsimberis on the same facts on a matter he is a witness against Sharpe.

Nyabvure is a state witness in the case where Katsimberis is suing Sharpe, his aide Michael John Van Blerk and top Harare City Council officials for perjury and malicious damage to property.

The case arose after the local authority demolished Kastimberis’ show house in Borrowdale, Harare on allegations that it was built using a fake plan.

Sharpe and his company, Pokugara properties, council officials Mandla Ndebele, Isaiah Zvenyika Chawatama, Samuel Nyabezi and Lasten Taonezvi are accused of malicious damage to property after they destroyed Katsimberis’ house.

Nyabvure has already testified in two cases consisting of perjury charges against Van Blerk and the Harare City Council and was due to testify on the malicious damage to property under case 1592/08/19 when the police arrested him.Before his arrest, Nyabvure had reported Sharpe’s aide Tatiana Aleshina to the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission claiming that she interfered with his case after allegedly wrote a letter on June 12, 2019, to town clerk Hoesah Chisango.

Aleshina allegedly wrote the letter a day after Nyabvure gave a statement to the police against Sharpe and his associates.

Aleshina allegedly possessed Nyabvure’s statement less than 24 hours after he gave it to the police.

The council employee is also an accused person in a case where Katsimberis is being accused by Pokugara of fraud based on the same facts in which he is a witness against Sharpe’s company.

Katsimberis has approached the Constitutional Court challenging a September 2022 ruling by High Court judge Justice Siyabonga Paul Musithu dismissing his application to end his parallel prosecution.

The land developer argues the parallel prosecution relying on the same facts has resulted in the harassment of witnesses to weaken his case.

Pokugara once caused the arrest of Katsimberis on the same facts on a matter he is a witness against Sharpe and his company. He has been appearing in court pursuing perjury and malicious damage to property cases against the group who are witnesses in his case.

Katsimberis has also laid perjury charges against Reza and three other prosecutors, Charles Muchemwa, Richard Chikosha and Tafara Chirambira for claiming that Pokugara reported him first to the police, contrary to the evidence.

Records show that Katsimberis reported the accused to the police on April 12, leading to their arrest and prosecution by the Special Ant-Corruption Unit.He is the key witness in the case but was arrested on July 28 after Pokugara made a counter-police report that he built a show house on its behalf using fake plans.

The hearing was postponed to November 28.

Chamisa And Co Are Hell Bent On Participating in Flawed 2023 Elections

By Nomusa Garikai | Nelson Chamisa and his CCC friends are hell bent on participating in these 2023 elections just as they have done in 2013 and 2018. They are after the few gravy train seats Zanu PF is giving away as bait, they have very rarely admitted it offering all manner of feeble excuses to hide their greed.
David Coltart, Treasurer General of CCC and a senior MDC member ever since the party’s formation in 1999 and Minister of Education in the 2008 GNU, is one of the few who have admitted that the two MDC factions participated in the 2013 elections out of greed, pure and simple! Here is what he said:

“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,” wrote Senator 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.”
There are ten key points we can pick and/or infer from this quotation:
1) That electoral process was not just flawed and illegal, but “so illegal, that the only logical, obvious, step was to withdraw”
2) That withdrawing from the election (which is what SADC itself had argued MDC leaders to do at the SADC Summit in Maputo in June 2013) would have “compelled SADC to hold Zanu PF to account”. In other words SADC would have denied Zanu PF legitimacy.
3) Neither MDC – T nor MDC N would do the logical and obvious thing because of greed “neither could withdraw for fear that the other would remain in the elections, winning seats”. Zanu PF needed the opposition to participate to get legitimacy and was giving away the few gravy train seats to entice them to participate.
4) The argument that Zanu PF would have got legitimacy regardless if one had participated is frivolous, to say the least, particularly since neither MDC – T nor MDC -N leaders had submitted even one reform proposal during the five years on which the justification to postpone the elections was based.
5) Indeed, even after failing to submit even one reform during the GNU either MDC faction should have seen boycott the election as their chance to redeem themselves by doing the obvious and logical thing!
6) SADC would have denied Zanu PF legitimacy even if only one MDC faction had boycotted the 2013 elections because the is historic precedence in this – Smith failed to get legitimacy from the 1978 Zimbabwe-Rhodesia internal settlement because only Muzorewa and Sithole had participated. Zanu and Zapu did the obvious thing and boycotted.
7) Denouncing these flawed and illegal elections and CCC’s selling out has put SADC under increased pressure to deny Zanu PF legitimacy.
2 / 2
8) If the flawed 2023 election fail to produce a legitimate government then Zimbabwe will be compelled once again to find a transition arrangement similar to the 2008 GNU. This time competent men and women will be appointed to implement all the democratic reforms.
9) Just because the Zanu PF and MDC GNU failed to implement even one reform does not mean we don’t need the reforms. Ordinary men and women can and will implement the reforms – it is not rocket science!
10) It is insane to keep participating in an election process so flawed and illegal not even getting 73% of the vote was good enough to secure regime change! And the nation is being dragged into this madness by the very men and women povo risked life and limb to end the Zanu PF dictatorship – Chamisa and company!

ED To Commonwealth: I’d Like To Join

The visiting Commonwealth assessment team, which arrived in the country on Saturday for a week-long working visit, will today start engagements with several stakeholders as part of its brief to gather views from stakeholders in the political, economic and social spheres on the country’s readiness to rejoin the club.
This follows an application by Zimbabwe in 2018 to be readmitted into the Commonwealth which it left 19 years ago.

Led by Commonwealth Assistant Secretary-General, Professor Luis Franschesci, the four-member team spent the greater part of yesterday in closed door meetings finalising their itinerary which will start with more meetings in Harare this morning.

An official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade said the team will hold an engagement meeting at a hotel in the capital this morning.

“They are finalising their programme today and starting tomorrow, they will kick off their engagements,” said the official.

He said the team’s main brief was to assess the country’s readiness to rejoin the Commonwealth after Harare pulled out in 2003 at the height of a bilateral dispute between Britain and Zimbabwe over the land reform programme, which the Government had embarked on to correct historical and colonial imbalances in land ownership.

On touching down at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport, the delegation pledged to do its work professionally as directed by Commonwealth Secretary-General, Mrs Patricia Scotland, at the invitation of President Mnangagwa.

Meetings have been lined-up with stakeholders that include President Mnangagwa, Government Ministers and civil society representatives.

The delegation was received by Special Advisor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Ambassador Grace Mutandiro.

In a brief interview at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport, Prof Franschesci said it was important to continue fostering a culture of unity and co-operation which was promoted by Africa’s founding fathers.

He noted that no country in the world could be an island and live in isolation of others.

Prof Franschesci said they will submit their report to the Commonwealth for the consideration of members led by Heads of State and Government.

The visit dovetails with the Second Republic led by President Mnangagwa’s engagement and re-engagement thrust anchored on the premise that Zimbabwe is a “friend to all and an enemy to none”.

In a statement last Friday, Foreign Affairs and International Trade Minister Frederick Shava said the delegation will be in Zimbabwe to assess the progress that the country has made following the application it submitted in 2018 to rejoin the organisation.

He said the visit was in line with Zimbabwe’s re-engagement thrust that seeks to reset and rekindle its foreign relations in order to create a conducive and supportive environment for the successful implementation of NDS1 and the realisation of Vision 2030.

President Mnangagwa met Mrs Scotland in 2019 on the sidelines of the 74th United Nations General Assembly where the Head of State and Government outlined several steps, including reforms, that had been undertaken by Zimbabwe.

In his address at the UN General Assembly, President Mnangagwa said it was important to note that Zimbabwe had not been expelled from the Commonwealth, but had withdrawn and the issues that led to its pulling out, among them the land reform programme, had since become water under the bridge.

The land reform programme was meant to address historical imbalances that saw rationalisation of land ownership from whites who owned large swathes of land to the black majority who, hitherto, had been on arid and unproductive land. -state media

Tagwirei On How I Started Command Agriculture

State Media- Businessman Mr Kudakwashe Tagwirei has for the first time revealed how he made a proposal for Government to adopt Command Agriculture, which has since transformed farming in Zimbabwe and increased production.
Mr Tagwirei, who is the founder and chief executive of Sakunda Holdings, was speaking at the 26th graduation ceremony at Solusi University.

He said he came up with the proposal to do contract farming in 2015.

“I was going to Equatorial Guinea and the man who I was with on the plane told me about the drought that was coming, El Nino,” said Mr Tagwirei.

“Thereafter I started thinking and planning for it and a week after I came back, I started planning a strategy.

“I called my friends and we sat up until 4am, discussing about the drought that was coming. I did a project proposal for contract farming, which you now call Command Agriculture. When we started, no one thought it was going to succeed and no one talked about it.”

Mr Tagwirei said after the success of the programmes, the United States Agricultural Department commended the country for Command Agriculture.

He said it was surprising that the same US government had put him under sanctions.

“However, when the US government saw that I was supporting the Government of the day in Zimbabwe, they then said, he stole US$3 billion. And I was placed on sanctions,” said Mr Tagwirei.

Mr Tagwirei, who is an elder in the Seventh Day Adventist church which runs Solusi University, said Government had agricultural programmes in rural areas that graduates could take advantage of.

He said the programmes were not political.

“All of us have a rural home, and in those rural homes, Government is drilling boreholes and establishing irrigation schemes,” he said.

“If you decide that you want to be an entrepreneur, go to your rural home, the Government has a programme for you.

“Do not think politics, think of your rural home. I’m not telling you who to vote for, I’m telling you to think of your rural home.”

Mr Tagwirei urged graduates to work together and start farming projects.

“Do you know that to succeed you don’t have to have this big vision,” he said.

“You start small. We tend to want the big things. In your rural home, you have one hectare and sell that car of yours and put a borehole.

“You’re educated, you know how to put fertiliser and seed in the ground; you know how much water is needed. So, you should begin to practice what you have been taught in your rural home.”

Mr Tagwirei said there was no need to have huge tracts of land for one to be a successful farmer.

“If you are said to be a big farmer in Zimbabwe you must have 100 hectares,” he said.

“In Israel, it’s six hectares, you are called wealthy when you have six hectares. In Zimbabwe, we want 100, 200 or 300 hectares, but what Israel does, is that they come together as a community, and they look for a market for their combined hectares.”

Mr Tagwirei told the graduates that they would face challenges, but should not be stopped.

“Class of 22, you are going to meet challenges, when you have a vision do not stop, work and look for it,” he said.

“And there’s going to be an American government kind of situation that is going to come to you and tell you that you can’t succeed. And when they see you succeed, they are going to put sanctions on your life.”

Ms Masline Tsamwayi from Buhera, who graduated with a Diploma in Early childhood Education, said she was working on establishing a school in her home area.

“I am from in Murambinda, there is no ECD school nearby and some children walk long distances to the nearest one,” she said. “I want to establish such as a school for our area so that the children benefit.”

Among the graduates was National Gallery of Zimbabwe in Bulawayo director Ms Silenkosi Moyo who graduated with a Masters in Business Administration.

She said collaboration was key to success in any organisation.

“I feel very challenged to act on collaboration. In the field that I am, it’s something that we talk about often and it was emphasised today that we need to work together as a team,” said Ms Moyo.

Mr Bongiswa Dlamini from the Kingdom of Eswatini who graduated with a BSc in Environmental Health, said he chose Zimbabwe because of the quality of education in the country.

“I came to Zimbabwe because it was a proper country for me to study, especially science as there is a focus on lab work and practicals. My experience here overall has been out of this world,” he said.

“I’m looking forward to improving the health sector in my country.”-state media

Stands Scam

Five Harare City Council officials, who were appearing in court on allegations of corruptly parcelling out stands in the city, were last week separately cleared of the offences after the State failed to prove cases against them.
Housing and community services director, Addmore Nhekairo, housing principal officer Edgar Dzehonye, human resource capital director Cainos Chingombe, finance director Tendai Kwenda, and councillor Lovemore Makuwerere were all cleared of the criminal charges they were facing at the Harare Magistrates Court.

Nhekairo and Dzehonye were jointly appearing on criminal abuse of office as public officers and bribery charges after they allegedly procedurally allocated residential stands in Westlea.

The two were acquitted and discharged at the close of the State case after Harare regional magistrate Mrs Feresi Chakanyuka ruled that there was nothing amiss in their conduct when executing their duties.

Mrs Chakanyuka also ruled that the State failed to prove that the layout plan which was used to allocate the said stands was not approved.

The court also ruled that all the due processes in allocating the stands were duly followed, as according to State witnesses’ testimonies during trial.

Mrs Chakanyuka noted that the State failed to prove that Nhekairo and Dzehonye influenced the stands allocation procedure to show favour to police officers and court officials.

Nhekairo was being represented by lawyer Mr Batanai Pesanai, while Dzehonye was being represented by Mr Tafadzwa Hungwe.

Chingombe and Kwenda were also separately appearing on criminal abuse of office and theft of trust property after they allegedly abused money for provision of water, sanitation and recreational services to buy themselves top of the range cars.

They were cleared of criminal abuse of office as public officers and theft of trust property charges by Harare regional magistrate Mrs Vongai Guwuriro.

Chingombe was accused of transferring US$130 000, while Kwenda was accused of transferring US$70 000 from the council’s Traditional Beer Levy Account into their respective bank accounts and bought top of the range cars.

Mrs Guwuriro acquitted the two council directors after noting that the State failed to lead evidence through its witnesses which warranted their conviction.

The court also ruled that the State failed to prove that the Traditional Beer Levy Account existed after the court was only told of the existence of a general account.

Nhekairo was also jointly acquitted with Makuwerere at the close of the State case after the State failed to prove that they had corruptly handed undeserving people some stands allocation letters.

They were acquitted by magistrate Mrs Barbra Mateko on criminal abuse of office as public officers.

Director of works Zvenyika Isaiah Chawatama was also cleared of the fraud charges at the same courts.

He was accused of writing letters to council employees stating he was acting Town Clerk even though this appointment had lapsed.-state media

10 Months Before Elections, Mnangagwa Promises To Feed School Kids Again

Govt is set to resume the schools feeding programme whose aim is to nourish learners and reduce absenteeism due to hunger.

Government initiated the schools feeding programme whereby schools are given grain which they process into maize meal and beans to prepare meals for learners.

Some schools had added value and sourced different kinds of relish to complement the allocation. However, the programme was abruptly suspended this year and Primary and Secondary Education Minister Dr Evelyn Ndlovu told education experts and partners in Victoria Falls that this was because of corruption in the procurement processes but the programme is making a comeback.

Minister Ndlovu was responding to concerns by delegates who attendant the week-long Strategic Choices for Education Reform in Eastern and Southern Africa meeting in Victoria Falls.

The meeting started last week on Saturday and ended yesterday.

It was hosted by the World Bank and Global Partnership for Education and was attended by education directors and Permanent Secretaries from Eastern and Southern Africa, including education partners.

Delegates visited six schools in and around Victoria Falls where they commended the country’s education approach but expressed concern on the lack of feeding programmes.

Mr Phathugwalo Masuku, the headmaster of Chamabondo Primary School said during a visit to the school that there are some learners who needed to be fed as lack of food was affecting their performance.

“We cannot feed the children on a daily basis because of budgetary constraints. It is true that we have some learners who cannot come to school well-nourished and that is affecting their performance in class. We wish the feeding programme can be resuscitated so that learners get at least a meal per day at school,” he said.

The feeding initiative is one of the strategies Government is initiating to enhance education for all, making sure no pupil misses class due to hunger.

At Chamabondo, the school was using its in-house bio digester recycling project run by learners to provide energy for cooking meals for its feeding programme.

Responding to the concerns, Minister Ndlovu said Government suspended the programme to bring sanity but it is bringing it back.

“As for the schools feeding programme, we had a challenge with procurement, that’s why we haven’t started giving maize. People were charging too much and the Ministry of Finance said we can’t charge using black market rates. Now that we are coming back to normal schools will resume feeding programmes,” she said.

In some communities the private sector chipped in to help Government with school feeding.

During the Covid-19 period, the private sector in Victoria Falls extended the programme to all members of the community including school pupils and school leavers as well as other deserving families.

At some point more than 1 000 meals were served each day by the Victoria Falls taskforce.- state media

Bright Start For Kadewere At Mallorca

Tinotenda Kadewere opened his scoring account in his first appearance for Real Mallorca on Saturday.

The Zimbabwean striker came on as a second half substitute in Mallorca’s 6-0 win over CD Autol in the Copa Del Rey encounter.

He netted the team’s sixth goal in the 88th minute, sealing the victory which sent them into the second round of the knockout tournament.

Kadewere has made his first appearance almost three months after making the switch to the Spanish top flight side from French club Lyon on a season-long loan deal.

The Warriors international was supposed to make his debut in early September but a muscle injury kept him out for several weeks.

He returned to action earlier in the month but was an unused substitute in Mallorca’s two previous games in La Liga.- Soccer24 Zimbabwe

Mourner Beaten To Death At Funeral

A drunk woman who was dragged to court for hitting a relative of the deceased with a brick at a funeral after she was accused of speaking ill of the deceased heaved a huge sigh of relief after she was acquitted of an attempted murder charge.

Michell Moyo (25) appeared for trial before Western Commonage Court regional magistrate Sibongile Msipa-Marondedze facing a murder charge for reportedly hitting Kwanele Queen Ncube with a brick on the head.

The drama-filled incident happened in Emakhandeni suburb in Bulawayo.

Moyo pleaded not guilty to the charge. After a full trial she was acquitted.

In acquitting Moyo the magistrate said: “It was clear that Moyo was assaulted by more than seven people and in self-defence when she was lying down she picked a stone and threw it aimlessly to defend herself. She was alone being assaulted by a group of seven people and she was taken into a house and no one was allowed inside the house and was severely assaulted until the police were called and took her to a police station.”

The magistrate added: “The action taken by the accused was necessary. It is not in dispute that Moyo uttered vulgar words but that does not justify the deceased’s relatives to assault her the way they did. In trying to defend herself she picked a stone and threw it aimlessly and unfortunately it hit Ncube. The accused cannot be said to have exceeded the bounds of self-defence and the action taken by the accused was necessary to avert the attack. As a result the State has failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt and self-defence is a complete defence. The accused is found not guilty and acquitted.”

The court heard that on the fateful day Moyo arrived at the funeral wake in the company of her two friends at around 11pm and sat among mourners. Things took a nasty turn when Moyo uttered a vulgar word saying: lowu ngumszo (This is a fat in reference to the sudden death of her friend who was also her drinking mate and was utterly shocked by it).”

Soon after that a relative of the deceased named Mkhokheli Ncube charged at Moyo and landed a blow on her head before other six family members joined in assaulting her, Moyo told the court.

As if that was not enough, the court heard, they dragged her inside the room which was full of mourners and they continued bashing her until they tore her blouse and left it in tatters.

An elderly male relative tried to restrain them but he failed as they pushed him aside and locked Moyo inside a bedroom, the court heard. Some of the angry mourners turned to Moyo’s friend and accused her of having stolen their jacket and after that they bashed them.

One of the relatives phoned a police officer and within a few minutes two police officers arrived at the chaotic scene and upon seeing the police officers angry mourners stopped bashing them. Moyo was arrested for hitting Ncube with a brick.

Ncube took to the witness stand and said: “Moyo arrived at around 11pm with her friends and found us singing during the funeral wake. Moyo started to speak bad things about my late brother. I asked her to leave because my relatives were grieving. She walked and stood beside a tent and that’s when my younger brother confronted them asking them to leave.”

She added: “I then followed them when I realised that they had surrounded my brother and when I was a few metres from them that’s when Moyo hit me with a brick on the head. After that Mkhokheli apprehended her and phoned police officers who arrested her.”- B Metro

Mnangagwa Puppets Exposed

Tinashe Sambiri|The Citizens Coalition for Change ( CCC) Namibia has blasted Zanu PF puppets attempting to disrupt the people’s struggle.

According to CCC Namibia, Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa is planting counter opposition elements hoping to dilute President Nelson Chamisa’s rising popularity.

See full statement below:
No room for disputed elections in 2023:CCC Namibia demands a level political field!

10 November 2022

How can light be outsmarted by darkness? How can a day be outwitted by the night? How can the violent outsmart the peaceful? Advocating for a level political field shall never be a point of weakness but strength!Surprisingly, all fake opposition party leaders are combatting the political generator, President Advocate Nelson Chamisa instead of offering solidarity against autocracy.

Citizens in Namibia are perplexed to hear the purported liberators in the opposition criticizing the yellow party instead of complementing the revolutionary efforts to do away with dictatorship and thugocracy in Zimbabwe.

Nkosana Moyo, Douglas Mwonzora, Tsenengamu, Ngarivhume, Linda Masarira, and Madhuku Lovemore only to mention a few are fighting President Chamisa instead of ZANU-PF.

It has become clear that all these exist as ZANU-PF surrogates aimed at advancing their zeal to establish a One-Party State in Zimbabwe disguised as a multi-party democracy.

It is uncouth to believe that the use of state-sponsored violence against unsuspecting citizens is smart. Change champions can’t allow another disputed election in 2023. We are tired of contested elections since 2002. Our demand for substantial political, constitutional, and electoral reforms is a sure way of averting the emergence of an illegitimate president in 2023. Violence should be shunned as we gear up for the impending watershed elections.

It is a constitutional imperative to avail the voter’s roll to all stakeholders as enshrined in the constitution of the country. We intend to promote free, fair, and incredible elections in 2023. Nkosana Moyo and his group are suffering from a lack of political capital, they are cognizant of the fact that winning elections to them is a mammoth task whether elections are free or unfair. Zec, police, army, traditional leaders, and state security agents should realize that they are not an extension of the Harare regime. We reiterate that all state institutions must be apolitical, they should not take instructions from ZANU-PF.

Through our Pre-Election Pact On Electoral Reforms(PREPARE), we shall continue to put political and diplomatic pressure on the despotic regime to achieve free, fair, and credible elections. Nkosana Moyo should bear in mind that the much-needed reforms are enshrined in the supreme law of the country. Should we negotiate for the respect of the rule of law and constitutionalism? One-Man One-Vote was our core demand from Ian Douglas Smith hence it must be guaranteed in the post-colonial Zimbabwe ruled by black people.

ZANU PF Constitution Is Amended By Congress Not The President

By Dr Masimba Mavaza | The private media was awash with the news that “the president and first secretary of ZANU PF Emmerson Mnangagwa has mutilated the party constitution introducing sweeping changes, ostensibly, to remove some provisions that hounded his firm grip to power.”
The new amendments which confused the private media were presented by the former party secretary for legal affairs Paul Mangwana at the 7th Zanu PF National Congress held in Harare, last month.
President Mnangagwa still has the mandate from the people who re-elected him to be the party’ first secretary and was named as the presidential candidate for elections next year.
National chairperson Oppah Muchinguri had clearly announced the adoption of the amendments by congress.
However, some opposition political commentators argued that the constitutional changes were cosmetic while others said Mnangagwa was gearing up for the elections.
The preamble of the constitution of ZANU PF said
“ whereas we the people of Zimbabwe are an African nation with a long proud history and rich and cultural heritage and whereas we the people of Zimbabwe recognise the importance of God the Almighty-and our Ancestors in guiding the Liberation movements in the execution of the armed struggle……..Now therefore we the representatives of the people of Zimbabwe in congress assembled and now United and reconstituted under the name ZANU PF Do hereby grant unto ourselves this constitution.”
The constitution is grunted unto us by us. Us being ZANU PF. The
Constitution does not rule us but bind us. The constitution is a very important document which is for the people by the people. Abraham Lincon once said
“that these dead shall not have died in vain– that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth”
So as in ZANU PF it’s constitution is planted in the blood of those who died and being bound by this constitution is a sign that those dead did not die in-vain.
It is one of the best known speeches in world history and perhaps one of the greatest and the most influential statements for any form of democracy.
Freedom and democracy are often deemed interchangeable but the two are certainly not synonymous and it can safely be premised that democracy is the institutionalization of freedom and constitution is the bulwark of democracy.
Now to a more pertinent question, What is constitution? The constitution is a set of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which an organization is governed making a clear demarcation of the responsibilities assigned to each individual responsible for running the organization.
The Independent Newspaper in total ignorance of the reasons for amendment accused the president cde ED Mnangagwa of mutilating the ZANU PF constitution.
In their article the Independent said that “Zanu PF has amended its constitution since President Mnangagwa took over the party leadership in 2017. There are allegations that Mnangagwa is changing the constitution according to his whims,” it should be said that a constitutional amendment is a modification of the constitution of a polity, organization or other type of entity. Amendments are often interwoven into the relevant sections of an existing constitution, directly altering the text. Conversely, they can be appended to the constitution as supplemental additions (codicils), thus changing the frame of government without altering the existing text of the document. PRESIDENT MNANGAGWA has no power to amend the constitution at his whim. The constitution of ZANU PF is amended at congress. This means that the party recommends a team to deal with amendments. The amendments will then be reduced into writing and are then endorsed and accepted at congress. Amendment of a constitution is not a one man effort. It is mischievous that one suggests that President MNANGAGWA is amending the constitution at a whim.
The constitution is not a yoke. It does not control people. People control the constitution. The constitution is made for the people by the people not vice vesa. Amending the ZANU PF constitution require that amendments cannot be enacted unless they have passed a special procedure that is more stringent than that required of ordinary legislation. We must not forget that a political party is made up of individuals who organize to win elections, operate government, and influence public policy. They have a duty to amend their constitution to adjust to the current affairs. ZANU PF is not a slave to its constitution.
Virtually all constitutions codify amendment rules. Amendment rules of course create a legal process for reformers to alter the constitution. But amendment rules serve important purposes even if the constitution is never amended at all because they have essential uses beyond the obvious one of textual alteration. ZANU PF amended its constitution in Oder to repair imperfections, distinguishing constitutional from ordinary law, entrenching rules against easy repeal or revision, and establishing a predictable procedure for constitutional change.
The private press had said “According to Article 5 (6), there shall be a Presidium, of four members at least one of whom shall be a woman, consisting of the President and First Secretary, two Vice Presidents and Second Secretaries and the National Chairperson… It seems the constitution was changed to remove a provision where one of the vice presidents is a woman. Is Mnangagwa mutilating the constitution to protect the people who supported him when he assumed power, that is, Vice President Chiwenga and Vice President Mohadi?’ It must be qualified that IT IS ONLY ZANU PF in Zimbabwe which has a provision of women’s quota in its structures.
The requirement of a woman in the presidium has not been tempered with. Actually the conststitution has been amended to encompass the chairmanship in the presidium. If it happens that the chairman is a man then one of the Vice Presidents will be a woman. This amendment is in line with accommodating women into leadership. It is naive to suggest that the amendments were made to favour MNANGAGWA. The last time I checked MNANGAGWA was a man and including women in the presidium does not benefit MNANGAGWA but it benefits the women to gain leadership positions without harsh and stiff competitions. ZANU PF recognises that women have played a great role in the war for our freedom. Starting with the first woman General Nehanda to our mothers and sisters who she’d their blood for us to enjoy today.
The detractors said “Section 31, according to the new changes, entails the Secretary For Administration to give at least fourteen days (14) notice convening an extra ordinary session of Congress in case of a vacancy occurring as provided in section 26 (2), there are arguments that this was in response to Sybeth Msengezi’s court application. Is Mnangagwa trying to outmanoeuvre people perceived to be fighting his rise to the presidency?” Despite the warped thinking of the opposition we must remember that the Constitution is amended to cover the people. The constitution must not be a burden to its people. Firstly Sybeth Musengezi”s case becomes moot. It dies a natural death. What he has been praying for in court has been healed by the congress. His application has been overtaken by the events of the congress. It is therefore not true that the amendments were tipped to favour MNANGAGWA. The fight against MNANGAGWA’s rise to power was defeated by his very own ascendancy. He is already in power thus there is no more fight against what has become. So there is no attempt to silence detractors because the war has already been won. The congress put to rest concerns raised by Musengezi Sybeth.
Further to their confusion the private press and their opposition masters queried ARTICLE 8 (48) which says the President and First Secretary may, at his or her discretion, appoint any or all of the Heads of Departments listed below. If in the opinion of the President and First Secretary it is desirable to create additional departments to the ones listed below, he shall at his discretion add such departments and appoint Heads to the departments so created.” We must realise that the constitution gives the presidents the discretion. The use of discretion suggests reasonableness. If the president uses his discretion he should be able to justify his discretion. The departmental heads are the workers who pull together with the presidents. To the wisdom of ZANU PF cadres the president must be allowed to chose his team he can work with. Discretion has become a constitutional mandate to give the president a right to chose a winning team which understands team play. So the president has not breached his constitutional mandate. He is within his highway.
Section 49 (Appointment of Members of the Politburo and the Deputy Heads of Departments) states “Immediately after the election of the President and First Secretary and Members of the Central Committee, the President and First Secretary of the Party shall, during the sitting of the Congress, appoint from the newly elected Central Committee, two (2) Vice-Presidents and Second Secretaries, the National Chairperson, the Heads of Departments of the Politburo the Committee Members of the Politburo and the Deputies to the Heads of Departments.” Is Mnangagwa not in violation of these provisions after failing to appoint the heads of departments and their deputies two weeks after the congress?
The constitution is clear on this point. It requires an immediate appointment. The word immediate has not been defined. It is up to the president to define immediate. So immediate can be two weeks or two months. The speed towards immediate lies in the hands of the president.
One major topical amendment was the provision for a female member of the presidium — be it a woman vice president or party chairperson. The position of national chairperson was also included in the presidium.
The national secretary for administration will be the secretary to the presidium.
This, according to observers, protects the status quo, especially the positions held by vice presidents Constantino Chiwenga and Kembo Mohadi.
Yes, there was the provision for a female vice president but that amendment makes it clear that a woman can take any of the positions in the presidium.”
“The good thing about the Zanu PF constitution is that it does not have presidential terms. I think that is all one needs as a president. There is nowhere that a whole party can torpedo the president due to the balance of forces that are in and outside Zanu PF.”
ZANU PF has the choice between making a new constitution and amending an existing constitution
to achieve substantial constitutional change. This choice is the prerogative of the congress.
The founding fathers of ZANU PF envisioned a constitution for the people framing a set of rules and regulations guiding the administration of our party.
There is nowhere on earth would the President manipulate the constitution. The fact that the might of the constitutional mandate is required if any such suggested changes has to see the light of the day means individuals will not manipulate the constitution to their personal advantage.
It is a shared perspective and privately many individuals agree to it that a lot of ills which have plagued the party in the past and continue to dog it even today could have been avoided had there been a complete understanding and willingness to practice constitution in its purest form. It should become a norm to send a digital copy of constitution to every member along with membership number. ZANU PF has taken oath of allegiance on its constitution and there should is orientation programs for a better comprehension of its constitution and values. Also head office has identified some of our learned veterans as resource persons to propagate the body and soul of our constitution to the general members.
As members of this most prestigious organization it is our beholden constitutional duty to do so for the coming generations of periodontists.
So it is an insult to suggest that the president has mutilated the constitution at a whim.

Drama At Funeral As Mourners Bash Man

Businessman Ken Sharpe’s Company Ordered To Pay Higher Cost To Defend Its Harare Land Heist

A High Court judge has conditionally given a subsidiary of Augur Investments a chance to defend itself, in a case where a deed of settlement saw Harare City Council ceding land for the Harare Airport Road construction project.

High Court judge Justice Munangati-Munongwa allowed Doorex to note an appearance to defend itself but ordered it to pay costs on a higher scale so that it can defend itself in the case lodged by Fairclot, trading as Trucking and Construction (T&C) in April this year.

T & C, which was subcontracted by Augur Investments for the airport project, is demanding the nullification of the deed of settlement between Harare City Council, the Local Government ministry and Augur Investments that saw the transfer of 273 hectares of land in Harare’s Borrowdale suburb.

Doorex was cited as the sixth respondent in the case because it holds the land, stand 654 Pomona, which was used as surety for the Airport Road deal by Augur Investments.

The title deeds of the land are being held in escrow by a local law firm, Coughlan, Welsh, and Guest pending finalisation of the court case.

Fairclot cited Augur, its owner Ken Sharpe, his aide Tatiana Aleshina, the City of Harare, the Local Government ministry, Doorex Properties, Registrar of Deeds, and deputy sheriff of the High Court Mucduff Madega as first to eighth respondents.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa was cited as an interested party in the case.

Sharpe’s lawyer, Evans Talent Moyo of Scanlen & Holderness, noted the appearance to defend the businessman, Aleshina and Augur Investments, but did not file on behalf of Doorex.

    In allowing Doorex to file its defence, the judge noted that the company was part of the proceedings and if T&C wins the award, it can be challenged by Doorex on the grounds that it was excluded from the case.

    Moyo had raised a special plea saying Fairclot did not have the locus standi to challenge the deed of settlement because it was not an interested party, but later discovered that Doorex was not part of the proceedings.

    Doorex was barred by that time and Moyo filed an application for the upliftment of the restriction.

    He said he was the one responsible for the mistake as he had been given instructions to defend all the respondents.

    Fairclot lawyer Tendai Biti Law had opposed the application on the grounds that the person who originated the email had no locus standi because he was not an employee of Doorex or anyone appointed by Doorex.

    T&C argues that the land owned by Doorex is the only property belonging to Sharpe that can be attached to recover its debt for the Airport Road project as some of the land from the deal with the council was transferred to various shelf companies.

    Kadewere Scores On Mallorca Debut

    Tinotenda Kadewere opened his scoring account in his first appearance for Real Mallorca on Saturday.

    The Zimbabwean striker came on as a second half substitute in Mallorca’s 6-0 win over CD Autol in the Copa Del Rey encounter.

    He netted the team’s sixth goal in the 88th minute, sealing the victory which sent them into the second round of the knockout tournament.

    Kadewere has made his first appearance almost three months after making the switch to the Spanish top flight side from French club Lyon on a season-long loan deal.

    The Warriors international was supposed to make his debut in early September but a muscle injury kept him out for several weeks.

    He returned to action earlier in the month but was an unused substitute in Mallorca’s two previous games in La Liga.- Soccer24 Zimbabwe

    What Is Dementia?

    Key facts

    Dementia is a syndrome in which there is deterioration in cognitive function beyond what might be expected from the usual consequences of biological ageing.
    Although dementia mainly affects older people, it is not an inevitable consequence of ageing.

    Currently more than 55 million people live with dementia worldwide, and there are nearly 10 million new cases every year.

    Dementia results from a variety of diseases and injuries that primarily or secondarily affect the brain. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia and may contribute to 60-70% of cases.

    Dementia is currently the seventh leading cause of death among all diseases and one of the major causes of disability and dependency among older people globally.

    Dementia has physical, psychological, social and economic impacts, not only for people living with dementia, but also for their carers, families and society at large.
    Dementia is a syndrome – usually of a chronic or progressive nature – that leads to deterioration in cognitive function (i.e. the ability to process thought) beyond what might be expected from the usual consequences of biological ageing. It affects memory, thinking, orientation, comprehension, calculation, learning capacity, language, and judgement. Consciousness is not affected. The impairment in cognitive function is commonly accompanied, and occasionally preceded, by changes in mood, emotional control, behaviour, or motivation.

    Dementia results from a variety of diseases and injuries that primarily or secondarily affect the brain, such as Alzheimer’s disease or stroke.

    Dementia is currently the seventh leading cause of death among all diseases and one of the major causes of disability and dependency among older people worldwide. Dementia has physical, psychological, social and economic impacts, not only for people living with dementia, but also for their carers, families and society at large. There is often a lack of awareness and understanding of dementia, resulting in stigmatization and barriers to diagnosis and care.

    Signs and symptoms
    Dementia affects each person in a different way, depending upon the underlying causes, other health conditions and the person’s cognitive functioning before becoming ill. The signs and symptoms linked to dementia can be understood in three stages.

    Early stage: the early stage of dementia is often overlooked because the onset is gradual. Common symptoms may include:

    forgetfulness
    losing track of the time
    becoming lost in familiar places.
    Middle stage: as dementia progresses to the middle stage, the signs and symptoms become clearer and may include:

    becoming forgetful of recent events and people’s names
    becoming confused while at home
    having increasing difficulty with communication
    needing help with personal care
    experiencing behaviour changes, including wandering and repeated questioning
    Late stage: the late stage of dementia is one of near total dependence and inactivity. Memory disturbances are serious and the physical signs and symptoms become more obvious and may include:

    becoming unaware of the time and place
    having difficulty recognizing relatives and friends
    having an increasing need for assisted self-care
    having difficulty walking
    experiencing behaviour changes that may escalate and include aggression.
    Common forms of dementia
    There are many different forms of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form and may contribute to 60-70% of cases. Other major forms include vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies (abnormal aggregates of protein that develop inside nerve cells), and a group of diseases that contribute to frontotemporal dementia (degeneration of the frontal lobe of the brain). Dementia may also develop after a stroke or in the context of certain infections such as HIV, harmful use of alcohol, repetitive physical injuries to the brain (known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy) or nutritional deficiencies. The boundaries between different forms of dementia are indistinct and mixed forms often co-exist.

    Rates of dementia
    Worldwide, around 55 million people have dementia, with over 60% living in low- and middle-income countries. As the proportion of older people in the population is increasing in nearly every country, this number is expected to rise to 78 million in 2030 and 139 million in 2050.

    Risk factors and prevention

    Although age is the strongest known risk factor for dementia, it is not an inevitable consequence of biological ageing. Further, dementia does not exclusively affect older people – young onset dementia (defined as the onset of symptoms before the age of 65 years) accounts for up to 9% of cases. Studies show that people can reduce their risk of cognitive decline and dementia by being physically active, not smoking, avoiding harmful use of alcohol, controlling their weight, eating a healthy diet, and maintaining healthy blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Additional risk factors include depression, social isolation, low educational attainment, cognitive inactivity and air pollution.

    Sithole Narrates 149 Days Prison Horror

    By A Correspondent| Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) MP Godfrey Sithole yesterday narrated his 149-day ‘horror’ prison ordeal, saying he was lucky not to have been infected with various diseases owing to poor living conditions.

    Sithole was arrested on June 14 in connection with the violence that took place in Nyatsime at the funeral of slain CCC activist Moreblessing Ali.

    He was charged with incitement to public violence alongside fellow MP Job Sikhala and 14 other Nyatsime residents.

    Sikhala and Nyatsime residents are still in remand prison despite several attempts to apply for bail.

    In an interview with The Standard, Sithole said he came face to face with ‘horror’ on his first night at Harare central prison where he had to sleep in a pest-infested prison cell.

    He said they were classified as political prisoners.

     “In our case, we were mostly ill-treated. Our visitors were turned away, we were denied access to medical practitioners and even our lawyers were most of the time not allowed to visit us,” an emotional Sithole said.

    “The cells are very dirty, lice-infested and smell of urine.”  He suffered cold nights while in detention at Harare Central Prison.

    “It was at the peak of the winter season,” Sithole said.

    “There were no blankets and there was no food. We spent two nights there before we were then transferred to Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison.”

    At Chikurubi, the situation was no different with officials at the prison allegedly being hostile to Sithole and Sikhala.

    The duo — used to spending time at work and with their families — had to endure several cold nights detained in solitary confinement.

     “I and Sikhala were detained in solitary confinement. We had to sleep at 3 in the afternoon,” Sithole said.

    “We had 17 hours of sleep and the conditions are not good, they are very bad. If you see that the conditions of the whole country generally are very bad, just imagine what it means for Chikurubi, it’s bound to be worse.

     “The food is pathetic, prisoners get food which is not nutritious, the vegetables that we were given had no cooking oil, no salt and other basic ingredients that ensure people have a healthy and balanced diet.”

    Every night, the politician also feared for his life due to poor medical facilities and disaster preparedness.

    Sithole claimed the prison is overpopulated and at high risk for disease outbreaks.

    “At Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison, they do not have enough blankets, it’s a crisis and people are just congested,” he said.

     “You can have 40 people in a cell designed for 15 people at Chikurubi; their disaster preparedness programme is in shambles.

     “As you are aware, last year a prominent prisoner Martin Gumbura died of Covid-19 at Chikurubi.”

    Only last week, according to Sithole, there was a Shigella outbreak at the prison.

     Sihigella, according to medical journals, is caused by eating food prepared by someone with a Shigella infection and drinking and eating contaminated water and food.

     While it is normally treatable, people with underlying conditions may be at risk. Symptoms include diarrhoea (sometimes bloody), fever, and stomach cramps.

     Sithole also said Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison was not designed to accommodate people living with disabilities, making life hell for some inmates.

     “I believe that those who are in remand prison whom I cannot name are not supposed to be there, I don’t believe they committed any crime,” Sithole said. Standard

    Harare Man Gets Protection Order Against Violent Ex-Girlfriend

    A Harare man was yesterday granted a protection order against his ex-girlfriend who insults him with obscene language and sometimes comes to dump her child at his workplace while demanding maintenance.

    Magistrate Ms Tamara Chibindi granted the order to Christopher Nyagope who summoned Charity Musona to the Harare Civil Court.

    Musona was ordered not to threaten, insult or harass Nyagope and to never visit his workplace in Glen View Area 8.

    Nyagope told the court that Musona harasses him as he disputes paternity to the child because there was no mention of the child for 11 years since they broke up.

    If the child was his, Nyagope told the court, he would have expected Musona to tell him a lot earlier.

    “This woman is cunning,” he said. “We dated 12 years ago and to my surprise she only came to me sometime last year telling me that she has brought my son.

    “We used to work closely with each other, yet she never told me about her pregnancy. I don’t believe that he is my son.”

    At one point, Musona allegedly dumped the child at his work place half naked.

    “She comes to insult me with obscene language and twice she came to abandon the child at my work place,” he said. “The last time she did so she just brought him wearing a pair of shorts without even putting on a shirt.

    “I no longer have peace and sometimes l hesitate to go to work because I am afraid of her harassment.”

    In response, Musona said Nyagope was not telling the truth.

    “He is lying,” she said. “I do not do that to him. He is not looking after the child, but I know that it is his.”

    Ms Chibindi asked Musona why she was quiet for so long about the child.

    She said it was because she was unable to locate Nyagope for the past 11 years.

    I Killed My Parents

    The trial of a man from Mangwe District, Matabeleland South Province who made headlines in 2020 by allegedly callously killing his elderly parents before setting ablaze their village mansion with a petrol bomb accusing them of bewitching him has started at the Bulawayo High Court.

    Cemetery

    In his defence he is claiming that his intention was to kill his father and the goblins that were in his bedroom in a bid to foil attempts to make him a zombie.

    Lisani Marcellus Nleya (46) allegedly killed his father Nicholas Cain Nkala (83) and mother Margret Nleya (78) who were both retired teachers and prominent villagers in grisly circumstances on 1 September, 2020.

    Nleya is claiming he even tested HIV-positive after having sex with a snake which he said his father had made it his wife.

    Nleya said at 46 years old, he was not yet married and had 14 failed potential affairs in six years, and lost 32 jobs in 16 years because of his father’s wizardry. Nleya recently appeared before Bulawayo High Court judge, Justice Christopher Dube-Banda facing one count of murder which he denied.

    On the fateful day, Nleya armed himself with four petrol bombs and proceeded to his parents’ homestead where he placed them outside the window of their bedroom. He accused his father of being behind a series of misfortunes and untold suffering in his life which included death of his minor child, fall-out with his first wife and miscarriages by the second wife.

    He told court that he discovered in 2005 through a prophet that his father was bewitching him for wealth creation. Through his defence lawyer Mr Simbarashe Innocent Madzivire of Tanaka Law Chambers, Nleya said his intention was to kill his father and the goblins that were allegedly in his parents’ bedroom.

    “The accused person will state that he consulted several prophets who confirmed the same and that he was to be sacrificed and be made a zombie. The accused will also state that while he was staying at his parents’ place or residence, he would see a big snake in his sleep.

    Further, the accused person will state that he lost his first child Samantha Nleya when she was only four months old and upon consultation, he learnt that his father was behind the death,” he said in his defence outline.

    The court was told that the mother of the little child left Nleya soon after the death of their daughter in fear of her life in 2006.

    Nleya married another woman the following year and she had two miscarriages which upon consulting prophets were attributed to his father. The accused told the court that he cheated death on numerous occasions, surviving car accidents, fire in the house, gun shots and attack by people while in South Africa. In each case he would consult a prophet who pointed at his father.

    “The accused person will also state that he always confronted his father to stop wizardry but he would profess ignorance. He tried several times to engage his parents to visit prophets or inyanga for cleansing but they vehemently refused. The accused will further state that his life was of misery and poverty yet his parents were filthy rich, and the wealth was gathered through witchcraft which put his life in danger,” he said.

    Nleya also claimed that the fact that at his age he was still single worried him. He was also not happy that his father refused to build a four-bedroomed house for him in 2010.

    “I lost more than R100 000 in 2015 and 2016 trying to construct a house. I tested HIV-positive because he would send his snake to come to have sex with me. He got the snake from Chipinge and even called the snake by my name,” said Nleya.

    He claimed that in February 2019 a self-proclaimed prophet removed a black mamba that his father used to prevent him from getting married. He said that is when in February 2020 he bought a machete with the intention of killing him but stopped on the advice of a Binga prophet that prayed for him.

    Nleya said his life turned into misery when he returned to South Africa and that is when he thought of coming home to kill his parents.

    He allegedly hit one of the windows and gained entry into the house and proceeded to his parents’ bedroom. He was wearing a face mask pretending to be a robber and demanded cash from his parents. The court heard that Nleya disguised himself to scare his parents from the bedroom because he did not want his mother harmed. It was the State’s case that Nleya threw three petrol bombs he had placed on the window because he was convinced that his mother had run out of the bedroom.

    “The accused person will state that he never intended to kill both his parents,” argues his lawyer. He denied using any axe, kitchen knife nor machete against his parents.

    Nleya allegedly brought the petrol bombs and a bicycle from South Africa. He boarded a car with his bicycle and disembarked in Plumtree Town where he rode to Empandeni, and after committing the murder, Nleya cycled towards Bulawayo but was picked up by a truck in Figtree.

    He sold the bicycle for US$40 which he used as bus fare back to South Africa, but was arrested at a prophet’s house after sneaking back into the country. Mr Qiniso Ndebele, a domestic worker at the Nleya homestead, testified in court.

    The State applied to amend the charges to include a second count of murder following concerns by the judge who questioned why the accused was charged on one count. The defence counsel did not oppose the application and addition of a second murder count. Trial continues on 10 January next year.-Sunday News

    Where Is Mbuya Nehanda In All This? What A Shame?

    By Dr Masimba Mavaza | I read with anguish and deep embarrassment when I listened to a question by the Irish Ambassador to Zimbabwe when she visited ZANU PF HQ for a discussion with Cde PA Chinamasa, the Party’s Secretary for Finance & Cde F Chasi. Her excellence was introduced to the pictures littering walls in the party building. These were the pictures,portraits of our late Nationalists & Commanders of the 2nd Chimurenga in pictures. She asked where is Mbuya Nehanda in your pictures. Needles to say that the honourable cde Chinamasa and Mukoma F Chasi could not give a sensible answer. Indeed that question got us thinking. Where is Mbuya Nehanda on everything we value.

    Patrick Chinamasa, Irish ambassador and Cde Fortune Chasi

    In 2017 cde Robert Gabriel Mugabe made a comment and I was present. “ let the dead alone do not trouble them” this was in response to a request for him to visit our shrines in Mozambique Zambia and Tanzania. The answer was not very encouraging, needless to say before the end of the year the President was history.
    The same happened with the honourable minister of Tourism then minister Mupfumira. When she visited UK and on he whirlwind tour of UK she was asked about repatriation of Mbuya Nehanda and other Zimbabwean bones back to Zimbabwe. She ignored the request never said anything about Nehanda and we all know what happened on arrival back home.
    Many people are so indoctrinated to an extent that they believe that any talk about Nehanda is demonic and satanist. Surely we can not hate our history to such an extent that we equate our history with Satan.
    It is deeply depressing and totally flabbergasting that we take the issue of Mbuya Nehanda lightly.
    The team of Dr Mahachi has been dispatched to London surprisingly without other ministerial teams. It was a lone team and surely we are going nowhere. The fact that a team is in London and they keep on sending reports. Reports are not what we want. We want Mbuya Nehanda back home.
    As Christians we strongly believe that the Dead know nothing. Yes it’s true they know nothing but is Nehanda dead?
    The Executive Director of National Monuments and Monuments of Zimbabwe  Dr Godfrey Mahachi is the head of delegation in England but he leads a delegation with no stake holders. No chiefs no officials from other organs. What are we doing really.
    The delegation led by Dr Mahachi which is aimed at finding a solution in bringing back the bones of one the heroines of the First Chimurenga Ambuya Nehanda was supposed to include Chief Negomo whose chiefdom Nehanda was from Chief Makoni, whose direct relative Chingaira’s bones are in a museum too, it was supposed to include Zimbabweans in the UK like Eugine Majuru of the Mbari clan who has been tireless in fighting for Nehanda to be sent home, Dr Masimba Mavaza, the mhofu who has opened doors and demanded the return of these bones and many people including Barbra Nyagomo and Pastor Richard Tembo Lawyer Pardon Tapfumaneyi among others.
    Former President Robert Mugabe is the one who first broke the news that Nehanda’s bones were displayed at a British museum. Then President Mnangagwa pushed for these bones to be returned home.
    The sad thing is that in the leadership many are so content with themselves that they have forgotten Mbuya Nehanda.
    Addressing a heroes day event Mugabe said, “The First Chimurenga leaders, whose heads were decapitated by the colonial occupying force, were then dispatched to England, to signify British victory over, and subjugation of, the local population.
    “Surely, keeping decapitated heads as war trophies, in this day and age, in a national history museum, must rank among the highest forms of racist moral decadence, sadism and human insensitivity.”
    The British Foreign Office then confirmed that “remains of Zimbabwean origin” were in London and it was waiting for Zimbabwe to send technical experts to liaise with museum staff.
    “The issue of the potential repatriation of Zimbabwean human remains was first discussed by British and Zimbabwean Authorities in December 2014. The UK has since invited Zimbabwe to appoint technical experts to meet their museum counterparts in London, in order to discuss some remains of Zimbabwean origin.”
    Dr Mahachi has since visited the UK and he is on his second visit but there is nothing happening. For how long will this be allowed to continue. We must remember that,In a sense, Nehanda was taken into bondage in her death that was the very beginning of the captivity of the children of Zimbabwe because for the next hundred years, one of their family was not free to be buried in the land God gave them.

    Zimbabwe must stand up to be counted. We cannot allow our heroes to be displayed in a museum somewhere.

    The Zimbabwe High Commissioner to the United Kingdom His Excellency Retired Colonel Christian Katsande led in the repatriation negotiations of the first Chimurenga Heroin and Heroes’ remains and gathered interested Zimbabweans to assist in this endeavour. Unfortunately his efforts were not embraced by the team from Zimbabwe.

    The work to repatriate Mbuya Nehanda should be a team work and not one man’s job. All UK based Zimbabweans were volunteering to have what belongs to us to be returned to us.

    United Kingdom is believed to have several remains of the first Chimurenga fighters. Of the remains there are remains of the first woman African army General Mbuya Nehanda Nyakasikana who was captured and hanged by the colonisers.
    The story of her capture and murder exposes the sadistic demonic war crimes committed against the Africans by the British-in the 18th to 19th century. Mbuya Nehanda who led the first Chimurenga war was captured and subjected to a unlawful hastily scrambled hearing in a court of injustice. She was convicted after a trial which she was not represented neither was she given an interpreter. She was then sentenced to death by hanging.

    Mbuya Nehanda Sekuru Kaguvi Chingaira and several others were hanged. Their remains were not accorded the decent burial instead Nehanda was beheaded and he skull taken to England as a trophy. Mbuya Nehanda and her tools of war and her spiritual gadgets were shipped in a sack to England where she has been displayed in a museum ever since.
After behind the scenes high level discussions and sometimes heated discussions featuring the unsung heroine Eugene Majuru the UK invited the Zimbabwean delegation led by Dr Mahachi director of Museums to come to the Uk and make arrangements for the repatriation. But since their arrival the team has decided to work on their own. 
Ambassador Katsande led the delegation which is in England to clear the way for the high powered delegation from Zimbabwe. But there is no working together of these teams. This confusion will delay the repatriation. 
Whenever there is repatriation of remains Often there was a looting, this looting is in conjunction with war or armed political conflict.

    Repatriation claims for objects involved in this illegal trade of cultural property are especially difficult as proof must be established of the illicit extraction of the objects and thieves seldom document their work, especially in war zones. It is because of this that the repatriation has taken this long.

    The British government has not been willing to let go of their loot. This is because the remains and artefacts looted symbolised shift of power from the defeated to the victors. Returning the loot will be a public acknowledgment of defeat. Further more repatriation is never easy, the British Museum Act, a law from 1963, prevents the museum in London from doing the same. The law does set out limited exceptions (such as if the object is a duplicate), but returning the loot of empire is not one of them.

    In November 2020, a new law was passed to allow the return of 27 artefacts to former colonies. Zimbabwe should take advantage of the new law to have the remains and all the loot back. It is this task where Colonel Katsande is expected to balance his diplomatic skills and his military training. For all the years Nehanda was displayed in a museum the British realised a lot of revenue.

    Defending their delay in releasing the remains A director Tristan Hunt remarked
“Europe’s museums serve a nuanced purpose and shouldn’t automatically bow to calls to return artworks plundered by 19th-century colonisers”
Is there the political will to return pilfered artifacts?

    From African cultural treasures to artworks and even human remains, calls have been growing louder to return goods appropriated by colonial powers during their often brutal reigns across Africa. But is it mostly talk? While African nations have long demanded the restitution of poached cultural artifacts, in former colonial powers like France and Germany the debate has recently reached fever pitch as cultural and political figures make the case for repatriation. Many countries like Benin Nigeria and many more have been given their artefacts. Zimbabwe is tied to team work or lack of it.

    Addressing a team which was doing the ground work in the UK ambassador Christian Katsande said “Repatriation is about restoring dignity and making right the wrongs of the past.”
    Repatriation is important as it shows respect for the dead, for cultural beliefs, and for the hurt that has been caused to source communities as a result of the development of science and museum collections. Repatriation is the return of stolen or looted cultural materials to their countries of origin. Although a belief that looting cultural heritage is wrong and stolen objects should be returned to their rightful owners.

    Repatriation claims are based on law but, more importantly, represent a fervent desire to right a wrong—a kind of restorative justice—which also requires an admission of guilt and capitulation. This is what makes repatriations difficult: nations and institutions seldom concede that they were wrong.
The repatriation of art and cultural objects is a popular topic in the news and there is a familiar list of arguments on either side of the debate. Without team work Zimbabwe will never achieve its goal.

    It took the Irish ambassador to as one question” Where is Mbuya Nehanda in all these photos?”
    The 1970 UNESCO Convention allowed for stolen objects to be seized if there was proof of ownership, followed by the 1995 UNIDROIT Convention on Stolen or Illegally Exported Cultural Objects, which calls for the return of illegally excavated and exported cultural property. Without these conventions and treaties, there would be no legal obligation for the return of anything.

    If our leadership does not change in their thinking of Nehanda then we are doomed. Ou children will ask us these questions where is Nehanda in all our way of life.

    Mnangagwa’s Counter Opposition Elements Exposed

    Tinashe Sambiri|The Citizens Coalition for Change ( CCC) Namibia has blasted Zanu PF puppets attempting to disrupt the people’s struggle.

    According to CCC Namibia, Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa is planting counter opposition elements hoping to dilute President Nelson Chamisa’s rising popularity.

    See full statement below:
    No room for disputed elections in 2023:CCC Namibia demands a level political field!

    10 November 2022

    How can light be outsmarted by darkness? How can a day be outwitted by the night? How can the violent outsmart the peaceful? Advocating for a level political field shall never be a point of weakness but strength!Surprisingly, all fake opposition party leaders are combatting the political generator, President Advocate Nelson Chamisa instead of offering solidarity against autocracy.

    Citizens in Namibia are perplexed to hear the purported liberators in the opposition criticizing the yellow party instead of complementing the revolutionary efforts to do away with dictatorship and thugocracy in Zimbabwe.

    Nkosana Moyo, Douglas Mwonzora, Tsenengamu, Ngarivhume, Linda Masarira, and Madhuku Lovemore only to mention a few are fighting President Chamisa instead of ZANU-PF.

    It has become clear that all these exist as ZANU-PF surrogates aimed at advancing their zeal to establish a One-Party State in Zimbabwe disguised as a multi-party democracy.

    It is uncouth to believe that the use of state-sponsored violence against unsuspecting citizens is smart. Change champions can’t allow another disputed election in 2023. We are tired of contested elections since 2002. Our demand for substantial political, constitutional, and electoral reforms is a sure way of averting the emergence of an illegitimate president in 2023. Violence should be shunned as we gear up for the impending watershed elections.

    It is a constitutional imperative to avail the voter’s roll to all stakeholders as enshrined in the constitution of the country. We intend to promote free, fair, and incredible elections in 2023. Nkosana Moyo and his group are suffering from a lack of political capital, they are cognizant of the fact that winning elections to them is a mammoth task whether elections are free or unfair. Zec, police, army, traditional leaders, and state security agents should realize that they are not an extension of the Harare regime. We reiterate that all state institutions must be apolitical, they should not take instructions from ZANU-PF.

    Through our Pre-Election Pact On Electoral Reforms(PREPARE), we shall continue to put political and diplomatic pressure on the despotic regime to achieve free, fair, and credible elections. Nkosana Moyo should bear in mind that the much-needed reforms are enshrined in the supreme law of the country. Should we negotiate for the respect of the rule of law and constitutionalism? One-Man One-Vote was our core demand from Ian Douglas Smith hence it must be guaranteed in the post-colonial Zimbabwe ruled by black people.

    Trevor Noah mocks Musk On Twitter: On Flight To Mars, He’ll Fire Employees Who’re Bringing The Oxygen

    By Showbiz Reporter| Why do South Africans assassinate each other like this? The comedian Trevor Noah on Saturday took down his own countryman, Twitter’s new billionaire owner, over his handling of the microblogging website’s employee base since taking over the company a few weeks ago.

    Noah and Musk are both South Africans now living in the land of dreams, US, where each has made a name for himself, as ZimEye reveals.

    Trevor Noah on Saturday criticised Musk over how he has reportedly fired half of his employee base only to turn back to re hire many of them after realising his mistake.

    Musk was this year bullied into purchasing the company using the courts and he has since struggled to maintain it’s capital value after advertisers quit en masse fearing his controversial views would damage business. Now at a time when Musk needs support especially from his kins, Noah was nothing but savage.

    He announced his comical bulletin saying in part: on Friday Elon Musk kicked off his new job as the head of Twitter by laying off …half of the workforce; even firing the bird. It was terrible.. But it turns out Musk got a little ahead of himself because this morning he is reportedly trying to re hire dozens of people that he just fired after realising that he actually needs them. And I’m going to be honest I’m going to put it out there if he’s handling Twitter like this I don’t know how comfortable I would be with this dude going off to Mars; I don’t want Elon walking into my cabin and telling me: Hi guys, it turns out I have fired the team that was bringing the oxygen. But we will be fine if we just stop breathing for 9 months…

    Eto’o Accused Of Spoiling Indomitable Lions Team Selection

    Cameroonian Football Federation (CFF) president Samuel Eto’o has been accused by the country’s press of interfering in the selection of the Indomitable Lions’ World Cup sqaud.

    Cameroon announced the final squad for the 22nd edition of the global extravaganza in Qatar, at a press conference yesterday.

    Indomitable Lions coach Rigobert Song announced the list of 26 players to do duty in Qatar and bizarrely failed to pronounce some names correctly, fuelling speculation that he did not select some players in the sqaud.

    TyC News, a renowned sports publication, reports that there was a time during the press conference, when journalists had to stop Song because the last name of a certain player was not understood.

    Song, according to the report, took several seconds to get the pronunciation right after the intervention of a collaborator.

    The publication claims the list might have been put together by Eto’o, with some newspapers in Cameroon labelling Song, a ‘puppet of the former Barcelona star.

    Issues of higher authorities meddling in the affairs of the Indomitable Lions are not new, as Song was once fired by the country’s President Paul Biya before the World Cup play-off against Algeria, which they went on to win on away goals rule to book a place at the finals.

    Cameroon are in Group G, and will kick start their campaign against Switzerland on November 24.

    They will then meet Serbia on November 24 before a date with Brazil on December 2.- Soccer24 Zimbabwe

    Understanding Dementia

    Key facts

    Dementia is a syndrome in which there is deterioration in cognitive function beyond what might be expected from the usual consequences of biological ageing.
    Although dementia mainly affects older people, it is not an inevitable consequence of ageing.

    Currently more than 55 million people live with dementia worldwide, and there are nearly 10 million new cases every year.

    Dementia results from a variety of diseases and injuries that primarily or secondarily affect the brain. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia and may contribute to 60-70% of cases.

    Dementia is currently the seventh leading cause of death among all diseases and one of the major causes of disability and dependency among older people globally.

    Dementia has physical, psychological, social and economic impacts, not only for people living with dementia, but also for their carers, families and society at large.
    Dementia is a syndrome – usually of a chronic or progressive nature – that leads to deterioration in cognitive function (i.e. the ability to process thought) beyond what might be expected from the usual consequences of biological ageing. It affects memory, thinking, orientation, comprehension, calculation, learning capacity, language, and judgement. Consciousness is not affected. The impairment in cognitive function is commonly accompanied, and occasionally preceded, by changes in mood, emotional control, behaviour, or motivation.

    Dementia results from a variety of diseases and injuries that primarily or secondarily affect the brain, such as Alzheimer’s disease or stroke.

    Dementia is currently the seventh leading cause of death among all diseases and one of the major causes of disability and dependency among older people worldwide. Dementia has physical, psychological, social and economic impacts, not only for people living with dementia, but also for their carers, families and society at large. There is often a lack of awareness and understanding of dementia, resulting in stigmatization and barriers to diagnosis and care.

    Signs and symptoms
    Dementia affects each person in a different way, depending upon the underlying causes, other health conditions and the person’s cognitive functioning before becoming ill. The signs and symptoms linked to dementia can be understood in three stages.

    Early stage: the early stage of dementia is often overlooked because the onset is gradual. Common symptoms may include:

    forgetfulness
    losing track of the time
    becoming lost in familiar places.
    Middle stage: as dementia progresses to the middle stage, the signs and symptoms become clearer and may include:

    becoming forgetful of recent events and people’s names
    becoming confused while at home
    having increasing difficulty with communication
    needing help with personal care
    experiencing behaviour changes, including wandering and repeated questioning
    Late stage: the late stage of dementia is one of near total dependence and inactivity. Memory disturbances are serious and the physical signs and symptoms become more obvious and may include:

    becoming unaware of the time and place
    having difficulty recognizing relatives and friends
    having an increasing need for assisted self-care
    having difficulty walking
    experiencing behaviour changes that may escalate and include aggression.
    Common forms of dementia
    There are many different forms of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form and may contribute to 60-70% of cases. Other major forms include vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies (abnormal aggregates of protein that develop inside nerve cells), and a group of diseases that contribute to frontotemporal dementia (degeneration of the frontal lobe of the brain). Dementia may also develop after a stroke or in the context of certain infections such as HIV, harmful use of alcohol, repetitive physical injuries to the brain (known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy) or nutritional deficiencies. The boundaries between different forms of dementia are indistinct and mixed forms often co-exist.

    Rates of dementia
    Worldwide, around 55 million people have dementia, with over 60% living in low- and middle-income countries. As the proportion of older people in the population is increasing in nearly every country, this number is expected to rise to 78 million in 2030 and 139 million in 2050.

    Risk factors and prevention

    Although age is the strongest known risk factor for dementia, it is not an inevitable consequence of biological ageing. Further, dementia does not exclusively affect older people – young onset dementia (defined as the onset of symptoms before the age of 65 years) accounts for up to 9% of cases. Studies show that people can reduce their risk of cognitive decline and dementia by being physically active, not smoking, avoiding harmful use of alcohol, controlling their weight, eating a healthy diet, and maintaining healthy blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Additional risk factors include depression, social isolation, low educational attainment, cognitive inactivity and air pollution.

    Mavaza Accuses Coltart Of Seeking British Lords Money | FULL TEXT

    By Dr Masimba Mavaza | OPINION | With elections coming in few months every political party in the country is putting the campaign a gear up. There are strict rules which are to be adhered to in the election ring. In the name of fairness no political party must be assisted by a foreign government in elections. This is done so that no country should create puppets from Zimbabwe. This makes sure that any incoming government is homegrown and not compromised by external powers. In most cases those who sponsor you will always want to smuggle their thoughts and their way of governance. The sovereignty of a country is protected by its people. Receiving electoral funding from external forces is entirely resigning your sovereignty for the khaki envelope.

    Dr Masimba Mavaza

    Zimbabwe faces elections and all leadership of the opposition have been dispatched to Europe and America to request funding. In actual fact they are going out of the country to present themselves and their party as a tool ready to be used in exchange of money.
    The CCC unconstitutional Treasurer Mr David Coltart has been in the United Kingdom with an empty bowl asking for election funding. In actual fact Mr Coltart has been asking the UK to use him as they find fit as long as he gets funding for the elections.
    In his trip of Shame Coltart met the sworn enemy of Zimbabwe Lord Oaths and several high ranking UK parliamentarians and government officials. Just how much has Mr Oaths managed to bag in exchange with Zimbabwe is unknown. But gushing by his traitorous smile he was promised something.
    Mr Coltart met several business persons in the UK and most of these meetings were private.
    This is a very disturbing pattern where every election period MDC which has exhausted the alphabet with its A to Z and now opted for triple C in order to get a free letter of the alphabet they claim unknown atrocities and demonise Zimbabwe.
    Surprisingly since the MDC or CCC which ever new name they give themselves graced the parliament they had never even one day promoted or sponsored a motion to amend or introduce any electoral reform. They only propose these reforms in foreign land.
    Zimbabwe had brought in the Patriotic bill and it is frustrating that the bill has not been passed yet. If there is any time the bill should be introduced is now. Surprisingly Zimbabwe is known for being afraid to enforce their own laws. Truth be told God forbid the day CHAMISA gets into power which he will need do, he will start with enforcing all those laws the ZANU PF MPs are afraid to pass.
    The reason Zimbabwe needs a Patriotic Act as a matter of urgency is not only to protect its sovereignty but to produce a patriotic citizenry and to cast in the dust bin of history the country’s recent past which has been characterised by disloyalty, incessant and brazen interference by foreign governments colluding with their local sellouts whose despicable treachery has been destabilising the country over the past years. The CCC name has become the Zimbabwean term for “traitor.” They are the country’s own Judas, a party which sold out its country and its cause for a handful of silver. Or maybe it is an invincible warrior which finally exposes a fatal weakness.
The story of the CCC lends itself to classic drama. CCC might have been the hero of the URBAN areas exhibiting immense courage and leadership in songs and abroad.
    But the use of Coltart to go fund CCC exposes the ugly past CHAMISA still sticks to n

    We must never forget that many Zimbabweans died for this country. They paid the ultimate price for freedom. The elections we partake in every five years was watered by the blood of heroes who lie in the unmarked graves. Many were imprisoned without charges under the white-dominated regime of Rhodesia. They are offended when the CCC in the face of Coltart are treated as champions of democracy by those who sponsored the undemocratic rule of Zimbabwe during colonialism.
    We must not forget that ZANU PF enjoyed the hero status after independence taking the poll position as a great Revolutionary party in the country and region.
    Now this CCC Despite their treasonous utterances none of them has never been arrested. The new dispensation allowed them a free passage. Because we fought for freedom the CCC enjoy the fruits of the freedom.
    But after becoming broke and out of touch with reality CCC in their different names later turned traitor, almost managing to hand over the nation to the Western world we had fought viciously before.
Popular opinion has simply dismissed the CCC as a “bad” party not worth thinking much about. But their handlers use this party to make the people of Zimbabwe suffer.
    Starting with Morgan Tsvangirai now with Nelson CHAMISA
    the legacy of the opposition is being marred in controversy. They have managed to crush their legacy and carelessly chuck it in the bin. What exactly is a traitor? A traitor is one who betrays another’s trust or is false to an obligation or duty,one who commits treason Coltart and CCC have been called a traitors to the zimbabwe’s cause. With Coltart running around with an empty bowl CCC is one party which betrays one’s country, a cause, or a trust, especially one who commits treason.
    Zimbabwe today has very little appetite for complex thinking. We see good or evil, black or white. You’re for us or against us. CCC has shown all that they are against us as a country and have become traitors.
    I order to curb such treachery Zimbabwe must hasten the Patriotic Bill. Coltart was supposed to be met by the law at the Robert Mugabe International Airport.

    Zimbabwe will not be the first country to craft such a law which, when all is said and done, is designed to protect the country’s interests and its citizens’ well-being and security.

    While Harare has, to its credit, suffered this anomaly through the numerous engagement and re-engagement drives, the inescapable reality is that this country has been abused for far too long at the instigation of hostile foreign governments, mainly from the West, with the help of their local partners and the time has come for Zimbabwe to assert its authority on her sovereignty and territorial integrity.
    We must realise that Australia, has enacted 82 anti-terror laws since the September 11 2001 attacks in the US.

    This is the time to act an enact the Patriotic Act. Zimbabwe is the only country we can call ours in the whole world.
