Police in Gwanda are investigating a murder case which occurred at a nightclub in Gwanda last week where Tanaka Zingoni (19) was stabbed twice in the chest after a misunderstanding with four unknown suspects.
“The victim was rushed to Gwanda Provincial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on admission. Anyone with information to report at any nearest Police station,” police said in a social media post on Friday.

Meanwhile, police in Bulawayo have arrested two suspects in connection with theft of property worth US$102 000. In a post on social media, the ZRP on Friday said that police in Bulawayo acted on a tip-off and arrested Mpofu Dingani (44) and Thabisani Ndlovu (43) for armed robbery cases committed in Bulawayo between June 2019 and October 2020.

“So far, the suspects are linked to four armed robbery cases, including the one they pounced at a company at Corner Bon-Accord and Steel Works Roads, Bulawayo, where they stole a grinding meal, various car parts, and property worth US$102 000,” police said—Sunday News

Tinashe Sambiri| Zanu PF is desperate to bribe senior CCC members, it has emerged.

Sensing political defeat in the coming polls, Mr Mnangagwa’s Zanu PF is planning to use cash to capture influential CCC members.

Writing on Twitter, President Chamisa said:

“A crazy season is upon us. Expect a lot of drama and shifts in the next months. Be vigilant.

Watch out. They will and are compromising some even pouring in serious money into various pockets. Some will fall for it and fall by the wayside. Be careful! Act smart! Win Big!”

CCC spokesperson Gift Siziba, quoted by NewsDay said:

“We are aware of what our opponents are plotting.”

Prosecutors at the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) say they will appeal a decision by Harare regional magistrate Mrs Gloria Takundwa to acquit four suspected armed robbers accused of being behind the theft of cash and property worth US$187 000 on three different occasions in Harare early this year.
This comes after Mrs Takundwa cleared suspects Alexio Mupamhura, Kallson Mabhonga, Tapiwa Zimbandu and Emmanuel Dylan Matiza of two counts of robbery and one count of armed robbery, citing lack of evidence.

However, NPA spokesperson, Ms Angeline Munyeriwa, said the State is dissatisfied with the decision as they strongly feel they had submitted sufficient evidence to secure a conviction.

“We are dissatisfied with the decision by the regional court because we believe we have strong evidence to get a conviction on appeal,” she said.

“We believe a higher court can reach a different judgement. So, as soon as we satisfy all the procedures, including transcribing the judgement, we will launch our appeal.”

Mupamhura, Mabhonga, Zimbandu and Matiza are said to have robbed Natasha Channel Naicker of her Subaru Legacy car on February 8 this year in Braeside, Harare.

The four are also said to have robbed Khumbulani Mulenga of his Isuzu KB single cab on February 14, before using it in an armed robbery the following day at Number 1 College Road in Alexandra Park, Harare.

In Alexandra Park, the four allegedly escaped with two safes containing US$11 907 and US$928, as well as other valuables.

In her judgement, Mrs Takundwa said the witnesses failed to identify the four and link them to the offences.

But the NPA insists it had submitted enough evidence to secure a conviction.

“The State presented evidence before the court in a bid to prove that the quartet went on a rampage early this year and committed a series of robberies on different occasions using a pistol and iron bars. The State’s allegations were that the quartet robbed the first complainant of her vehicle, a Subaru Legacy worth US$4 500, in Braeside.

“The second complainant lost an Isuzu KB single cab worth US$12 550 to the robbers, while the third complainant was robbed of US$142 342 and property worth thousands of dollars.

“The National Prosecuting Authority is dissatisfied with the court’s decision to acquit and believes that the prospects of success on appeal are high.”

Meanwhile, the NPA says it is closely following all robbery cases. -Sunday Mail

Tinashe Sambiri|Citizens’ Coalition for Change ( CCC ) vice president, Hon Tendai Biti has described the wave of escalating violence in the country as worrisome.

The Zanu PF regime is using violence to cow perceived opponents of the system into submission.

The former revolutionary party’s support base is dwindling due to rising inflation, corruption, violation of human rights and social unrest.

On Friday Hon Biti argued:

“Political violence is on the rise in ZimbabweThe brutal assault on Hon Toffa ⁦@Kucaca1⁩ a few weeks ago in Insiza is further proof .

Sadly #ZANU leadership in Parliament refused to accept responsibility of the State to guarantee security of the person & individual freedoms.”

A 37-YEAR-OLD Mutasa man last weekend gruesomely hacked his wife on the neck, shoulder, chest and mouth with a machete after she took his cellphone and unlocked it without his consent, hardly three months into the couple’s marriage.

Mirriam Joni (27) died on the spot from the injuries sustained during the brutal and heartless attack.

Police confirmed the murder which happened in Matsapa Village in Chief Mutasa’s area last week on Saturday.

Acting Manicaland provincial police spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka confirmed the incident and said the suspect, Gwaramba Jimu, disappeared from the scene soon after committing the heinous act.

It is alleged that a few minutes before vanishing from the scene, Jimu instructed his mother, Ms Kandala Maluwiza (72), to take care of his children when he was gone.

“The two who were customarily married for three months had a domestic dispute after Joni took Jimu’s phone without his consent. After a heated altercation, Jimu went to his aunt, Ms Netsai Jolomile (48) of Mhandire Village, to ask her to solve the dispute.

“Ms Jolomile accompanied Jimu back to his home and she counselled the couple, advising them to live in peace. Ms Jolomile left the couple and went back home.

“On October 28, at around 2am, Jimu woke up and armed himself with a machete. He hacked Miriam several times on the shoulder, neck, chest and mouth,” said Assistant Inspector Chinyoka.

He said after the heinous act, Jimu proceeded to his mother, Ms Maluwiza’s homestead in the same village and told her to take care of his children.

He then disappeared.

“Ms Maluwiza became suspicious and proceeded to Jimu’s homestead. Upon arrival, she saw Joni’s body lying in a pool of blood. She alerted other villagers.

“A report was made to the police who attended the scene,” said Assistant Inspector Chinyoka.

The acting provincial police spokesperson appealed to members of the public with information leading to the arrest of Jimu to contact their nearest police station.

Satellite images dating back to 1985 show that the famed US$40 million Museum of African Liberation project is being constructed on a goldfield, the Zimbabwe Independent reported.

According to the satellite images, the terrain has however changed resulting in some people being displaced and compensated to pave way for the latest construction.

As reported by this publication last week, plans by Chinese firm Ming Chang SinoAfrica Mining Investments to ostensibly set up a multi-million-dollar brick moulding plan at the same site were reversed by the government, subsequently paving way for the museum project.

In 1924, a firm known as Golden Quarries used to mine gold on part of the 100-ha piece of land where the Museum of African Liberation is being constructed under the administration of the Institute of African Knowledge (Instak). At that time the Rhodesian government had registered 16 gold blocks in the area.

The site of the museum project sits at corner Samora Machel West Avenue and a road known as Golden Quarry.

Images gleaned by the Independent on Google Earth Pro, a software application that allows visualisation, assessment, overlay and creation of geospatial data graphically reveal how the terrain of the museum site has changed from a bushy area to the current land developments unfolding in the area. The coordinates of the museum site on Google Earth Pro are 17° 49′ 30.80″ south and 30° 58′ 37″ east.

As revealed by the satellite images, land development activities only appear visible in the area, which is now known as the Liberation City, in 2021, the year construction of the giant museum commenced.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa presided over the groundbreaking ceremony of the Museum of African Liberation project on December 3 2021.

To pave the way for the museum, various businesses were displaced from the Liberation City, while some, including businessman Phillip Chiyangwa, were compensated for a portion of land they used to own within the area.

Following a tour of the Liberation City this week by the Independent, Instak spokesperson Joseph Nkani confirmed that “it was not in dispute” that the area was once a gold mining site, but highlighted that the museum project developers adopted a “civil approach” to engage with people and businesses who were being displaced.

“That’s not in dispute (that gold mining used to happen on the site). We adopted a civil approach towards people who had legal papers proving that they had leased the various portions of land at the Liberation City. Of course, some did not have any papers supporting their occupancy at the museum site.

“Those who demonstrated that they had lease arrangements with the local authority were duly advised of the new project coming and were duly compensated,” Nkana said.

Some of the entities moved from the site and compensated include Westview Baptist Church, Ngoda Granite, ZimStrong and Kubatana Cooperative.

Compensation beneficiaries, Nkana said, also include, “various traders with separate names but administered under Kubatana Cooperative,” highlighting that, “financial compensation has also been advanced to them -their legal advisers can confirm this arrangement.”

Chiyangwa, Nkana told the Independent, had also been compensated for the 5,5-ha piece of land he owned in the area, to pave way for the Liberation City project, which will house the African Museum. Nkana did not disclose how much was paid to Chiyangwa and others.

During the tour, the Independent viewed a new block of ablution facilities across Golden Quarry Road, which Nkana said were built for traders under the Kubatana Cooperative stable while artists carrying out soapstone carving had also been moved. A borehole has also been drilled for those displaced.

“We have now built ablution facilities and sunk a borehole for them at their new site across Golden Quarry Road. Financial compensation has also been advanced to them…No exact figures on me right now (amount of compensation).

“But arrangements were mutually agreed and the parties are on the same page. There are no disputes,” Nkana told the Independent.

The Liberation City is envisioned to be supported by numerous recreational facilities and would be an ideal entertainment facility for visitors.

“The Liberation City (the broad term referring to the 101 hectares of land) where various commercial, recreational and amusement amenities will be established borders Samora Machel, Golden Quarry and Kirkman (now Solomon Mujuru),” Nkana added.

At the site of the museum, flags belonging to all the countries in Africa flap leisurely in the sky, as Instak forges ahead to transform the site into a major tourism drawcard. Space has also been set aside at the museum site to showcase decommissioned military armaments

The National Social Security Authority in partnership with Instak are also setting up a shopping mall which Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare minister Paul Mavhima said would create “a shopping experience in a safe congenial environment”.

An upmarket golf course will also be incorporated into the Liberation City, a luxurious hotel will be built while a skyrail connecting the site with the National Heroes Acre will be erected.

The Museum of African Liberation is meant to capture the African historical experience while immortalising the continent’s triumphant struggle against colonialism.

Instak, which is the project administrators, is a trust with a seven member board of trustees led by Ambassador Simbi Mubako.

A Gokwe man struck his brother to death with a machete following a dispute over a piece of land.

Jongwe Matsaukirwa (49) of Village Matsaukirwa, under Chief Chireya died on the spot after being struck with a machete by his younger brother Ruyamuro Matsaukirwa (42) as the two fought over a piece of land.

Police confirmed the incident.

“On 31 October 2022 around 7AM, Ruyamuro, who is the younger brother, was working in his field when his elder brother Jongwe approached him questioning why he was encroaching into his field,” said Midlands Police Spokesperson, Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko.

As a result, a misunderstanding ensued and quickly degenerated into a fight.

“Jongwe snatched a machete that Ruyamuro was using in the field and struck him once on the chin. The later however overpowered the now deceased, disarmed him and struck him on the back of the head and he died on the spot,” said police.

Ruyamuro was arrested while the body of the deceased was ferried to Gokwe North District Hospital where it awaits postmortem.

“We are urging members of the public to respect the sanctity of life. This incident could have been avoided by involving a third party,” said police.

Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa yesterday made sensational claims that Zanu-PF was bribing his lieutenants to destabilise the party ahead of the 2023 elections.

In a cryptic message posted on Twitter, Chamisa said disloyal members exposed for hobnobbing with Zanu-PF would be expelled from the party.

“A crazy season is upon us. Expect a lot of drama and shifts in the next months. Be vigilant. Watch out. They will and are compromising some even pouring in serious money into various pockets. Some will fall for it and fall by the wayside. Be careful! Act smart! Win Big!,” Chamisa tweeted.

CCC spokesperson Gift Siziba told NewsDay that their investigations have exposed machinations to infiltrate and destabilise the opposition party.

“We are aware of what our opponents are plotting,” Siziba said.

“The regime in Harare wants to have an opposition that they can lead themselves so they are using the Lenin strategy. They are escalating such machinations, but they have not worked and will never work. The opposition has emerged stronger, fit with more vigour and vitality and ready to govern.”

Zanu-PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa was not picking calls.

In the past Zanu-PF has proudly paraded opposition members who it alleged had crossed the floor.

Some opposition members who crossed the floor to the ruling party such as James Maridadi and Obert Gutu have been rewarded with government posts.

CCC currently has no formalised structures since the formation of the party early this year.

Chamisa and his foot soldiers said they would not be stampeded into having formal structures to avoid infiltration or violence targeted at office bearers.

Analysts, who spoke to NewsDay, said claims that opposition members were being bought with various trinkets by Zanu-PF were expected in the face of widespread poverty in the country.

Political analyst Eldred Masunugure said Zanu-PF had used the politics of the stomach as a strategy to infiltrate the opposition for decades.

“The one who can provide the biggest pie is likely to win the support of an individual. That is the politics of patronage and has become very common in Zimbabwe. Zanu-PF has financial resources, unlike Chamisa’s opposition party which has no funding,” Masunungure said.

“Chamisa’s fear is real and this explains why he has not come up with structures, a party constitution or refused to go for an elective congress which could be easy entries for Zanu-PF on infiltrating.”

Another analyst Vivid Gwede said some politicians were driven by greed for quick riches.

“Not everyone who is in politics is driven by a sense of duty… Some people are there for the money and will jump at every opportunity to get it. And as we know, Zanu-PF uses its control of State resources and it has always used this vantage point to lure people from the opposition,” Gwede said.

“What is even more pertinent is that people are suffering due to the economic meltdown, opposition politicians included, hence their readiness to jump ship at the earliest opportunity.”

IN a dramatic policy U-turn, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) has indefinitely suspended its plans to partially privatise Fidelity Printers and Refiners (FPR) nearly two years after announcing intentions to dispose its 60% controlling stake in the entity, the Zimbabwe Independent reported.

At the time of the widely publicised plan but which is now aborted, privatisation of the state-run gold buying firm was partly meant to plug widespread gold smuggling which is estimated to prejudice the country of US$1,5 billion annually.

Plans to sell the government’s 60% controlling stake in FPR were first announced by the RBZ in 2020 and reinforced during the course of 2021 with the primary purpose of boosting gold output by, “allowing private players to acquire a stake therein…”

If the partial privatisation plan had been carried out successfully, the central bank would have retained 40% in FPR.

In 2021, as authorities kept a tight lid on the identities of private players who were being assessed for their suitability to assume control over FPR, the Independent first revealed that Kuvimba Mining House, Better Brands, RioZim, Caledonia, Pan Africa Mining, Zimbabwe Miners Federation (ZMF) and Yellow Credit were potentially angling to take over the country’s sole gold buyer.

At that time, an ensuing investigative series by this publication revealed that the transaction, then valued at US$49 million, was derailed by reservations expressed by some of the private players over Kuvimba whose shareholding structure and beneficial owners remain shrouded in mystery.

As disclosed by sources close to the planned transaction, there were also fears that once privatised, the entity would be under the US sanctions radar.

Formed in 2020, Kuvimba is now among the country’s the largest gold producers having bought lucrative gold assets across the country, including the Shamva Mine, Freda Rebecca, and those of Elvington, Jena, Golden Kopje and Sandawana mines owned by Zimbabwe Mining Development Corporation (ZMDC).

If the transaction had sailed through, Kuvimba was going to hold 12% equity in the reconfigured gold buying company.

RBZ governor John Mangudya last week told the Independent that the planned privatisation of FPR was “no longer a priority” to the apex bank.”The suspension of the privatisation of FPR was done by the RBZ board which deemed it necessary to retain FPR in its current state. The matter is no longer a priority to RBZ,” the Central bank boss told this publication. However, Mangudya did not explain why the government had a change of heart on its initial plans to cede its controlling stake in FPR. Questions posed by the Independent to Finance and Economic Development Secretary George Guvamatanga asking why the government was no longer interested in offloading

its shareholding in the state-run enterprise were not addressed at the time of going to print. Broadly, this publication also sought to understand how government intended to boost gold output in the country if FPR remains in its current state.

Treasury chief director of communications Clive Mphambela referred all questions to the RBZ. “FPR falls under the RBZ and the RBZ can clarify on all your questions,” he said. During Finance and Economic Development minister Mthuli Ncube’s mid-term review budget statement delivered in August 2021, he indicated that the unbundling process of FPR was already underway with 10 private players expressing interest in snapping up the government stake.

As part of the unbundling process, which has since been suspended, FPR was going to be split into two entities namely Fidelity Gold Refinery (FGR) and Printing and Minting Company of Zimbabwe (PMCZ).

At the time of the planned privatisation transaction, authorities had indicated that the ultimate plan was to remodel the entity in the same way as the Rand Refinery of South Africa which is owned by private shareholders.A myriad of challenges hampering gold production in Zimbabwe ranging from smuggling, informal mining operations and low producer prices were expected to be addressed by the then planned privatisation of FPR. In 2020, the central bank increased the gold retention threshold to 70% in foreign currency from sale proceeds from 55% in a policy move that was aimed at ramping up output. Under that gold trading matrix, producers of the yellow metal would receive 30% of their proceeds in the local currency at the prevailing exchange rate.

However, prior to that, the marketing framework stood at 55% in foreign currency while the remainder was paid in the local unit, sparking outrage from producers.

At the heart of their concerns, producers of the precious metal indicated that inputs and service providers were charging in the greenback. Coupled to that, mining firms also argued that upwardly reviewing the foreign currency thresholds would cushion them from the rising cost of fuel indexed in the greenback while they would also have the leg room to remunerate workers who were demanding wages in foreign currency.

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa is planning a whirlwind tour across the world as Zimbabwe launches an ambitious bid to become a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) in 2027.

This was revealed by Foreign Affairs and International Trade minister Frederick Shava in his opening remarks to the Senior Management and Ambassadors’ Retreat and Strategic Planning Review in Bulawayo this week.

The UNSC consists of 15 members — five permanent and 10 non-permanent members — with the latter being elected by the UN General Assembly for two-year terms while five retire each year.

Mnangagwa launched an aggressive engagement and reengagement drive after winning the 2018 harmonised elections including concerted efforts to rejoin the Commonwealth.

“As we continue pushing for a renewed multilateralism fit for purpose and fit for its time, it is our responsibility, from wherever our workstations, to lobby for Zimbabwe to rejoin the UNSC.

“While His Excellency and myself would have whirlwind tours across the world to campaign for Zimbabwe as we draw towards 2026, the time to start lobbying for support is now. If it means trading horses or supporting other countries’ candidatures for international appointment in return for support for Zimbabwe’s bid, then let us begin doing that now,” Shava said.

Entrusted with maintaining international peace and security by the UN Charter, membership of the UNSC brings significant responsibility and the opportunity for global influence.

The council is called upon to tackle crises around the world and has the power to impose legally binding measures on UN members, including measures related to the use of force. The council is also responsible for overseeing the complex and dangerous work of the UN’s more than two dozen peacekeeping and political missions.

Many see the council as dominated by its five permanent members (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States), who, in addition to their veto power, can leverage their tenure, institutional memory and greater resources to determine council outcomes.

Despite this perception, the council’s 10 non-permanent members, collectively and individually, can, and do, make tangible contributions to the council and have the ability to influence its decisions.

Current and past non-permanent members have emphasised that being an effective non-permanent member requires seizing the opportunities provided by the council’s procedures, as well as the informal methods by which much of its work is undertaken. Shava noted that Zimbabwe’s diplomats had achieved Mnangagwa’s foreign policy objective to reengage the international community for Zimbabwe to rejoin the community of nations.

“We have achieved that goal. Zimbabwe has been readmitted into the Community of Nations. I have to declare that Zimbabwe is now a responsible and active member of the international community,” he said.

The Foreign Affairs minister added that rejoining the international community was also a precursor to bigger things to come.

He also reiterated that Zimbabwe would not be drawn into the “new Cold War” between Russia and the United States.

Embattled Premier Services Medical Investments (PSMI) shut down 120 of its 155 facilities last month as the entity battled to settle a four-month salary arrears bill in a turbulent period that culminated in the closure of its flagship West End and Claybank hospitals in Harare and Gweru respectively as workers downed tools, the Zimbabwe Independent revealed.

The closure of the facilities has also been marked by the arrest of PSMI executives on allegations of defrauding the entity of millions of United States dollars at a time when the entity is struggling to offer services to its clients.

PSMI chief executive officer Farai Muchena, managing director Tafadzwa Gutu and other executives Victor Chaipa, Cosmas Mukwesha and Shingai Maputo in September appeared before the courts facing fraud charges.

With a subscriber base of about two million clients, the dramatic collapse of PSMI, particularly over the past four months, sources briefed this publication, is largely symbolic of the paralysis gripping Zimbabwe’s health delivery system.

A trove of documents gleaned by the Independent in a period stretching over four months shows that PSMI had only 35 of its 155 facilities still functional by October 21, 2022, when the workers declared incapacitation and subsequently stopped reporting for work.

bribery allegations levelled against the executives have since triggered a forensic audit into the affairs of PSmI by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission, the CID and the Zimbabwe revenue Authority, this publication can further reveal.

relating to the number of facilities which are still operational, a letter dated october 21 2022 by PSmI acting managing director Margret Maulana to staff members, shows that the entity, with 29 medical clinics dotted around the country had closed 21 of them, while only four of its 19 dental clinics were still functional.

In the correspondence, also furnished to the PSmI chairperson, directors, head of departments and the Premier Services medical Association (Psmas) managing directors, Maulana noted that widespread closures were sparked by “declaration of incapacitation” by restive workers.

PSmI is a unit that was formed in 2003 in pursuit of Psmas’ blue ocean strategy to forward integrate medical insurance into medical services provision.

“The declaration of incapacitation has resulted in most PSmI units closing down as practitioners and supporting staff could not afford to continue reporting for duty.

Zengeza West MP Job Sikhala, and CCC national vice chairman, claims that the authorities want to keep him in detention beyond the 2023 general elections.

Sikhala, who celebrated his 50th on Sunday while in pre-trial detention at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison, believes the State wants to keep him in jail beyond general elections slated for July or August 2023. He said:

We obtained information beforehand that they want to keep us (Sikhala and Chitungwiza North MP Godfrey Sithole) until the 2023 general elections.

The purpose is very clear, they want to eliminate me from the national political equation for reasons best known to themselves.

Whatever they do will never defeat the endurance of my spirit to continue on the path of independence and freedom for our people.

Zimbabwe, in its current state, has been placed in the same situation as the one in which Ian Smith placed this country before.

In a statement that he released as a birthday message from prison, Sikhala said he draws inspiration from the fact that he is not the first to spend birthdays in prison. He wrote:

What gives me the utmost happiness is that I am not the first nor will I be the last political prisoner to celebrate their birthdays under persecution from an evil dictatorship. History is awash with such personalities.

Nelson Mandela spent 27 consecutive birthdays in prison; Dumiso Dabengwa 7; Lookout Masuku 7; Bakili Muluzu 10; Raila Odinga 10; and many other men and women of good standing.

Sikhala faces charges of obstruction of justice and inciting violence.

He has been in detention since 14 June 2022, when he was arrested for allegedly inciting violence.

Sikhala was arrested after he convened a prayer meeting for his deceased client and opposition party member, Moreblessing Ali, who was killed by Pius Mukandi, a man linked to ZANU PF.

He has applied for bail eight times at both the High and the magistrates’ courts but has been denied this constitutional right. | The NewsHawks

Herald Celebrates Zimbabwe's Own Satellite Launch Even Though It's Just NASA's

— ZimEye (@ZimEye) November 5, 2022

Zimbabweans have always looked up into the night sky, but they never dreamed that one day the country would occupy space and “dance with aliens”. But in a few hours, the fantasy the nation had never conjured up — that is until President Mnangagwa came into power — will become reality.
On October 4, 1957, Russia became the first country to launch the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, into space. That “colonisation” of space fuelled a technological sprint that saw the United States and other countries follow suit in exploring space.

At 11am tomorrow Zimbabwe will join the league of nations that have launched satellites into space when it sends its first satellite, ZimSat-1, into orbit after developing it through the BIRDS project.

The Live coverage and countdown commentary will begin at (11:30am Zimbabwe Time) 5:30 a.m. EST on Sunday, November 6, and air on NASA Television and the agency’s website, as well as YouTube, Twitter, and NASA’s App.

The launch of ZimSat-1 is a culmination of a process that commenced in 2018 when President Mnangagwa launched the Zimbabwe National Geospatial and Space Agency (ZINGSA). The development is part of the country’s plan to meet other nations and become an upper-middle-income economy by 2030. President Mnangagwa pledged more support to ZINGSA to see the growth of a technology innovation environment that supports the development and use of new technologies.

It is also a milestone that will enhance mineral exploration and monitoring of environmental hazards and droughts. Additionally, it will aid in mapping human settlements and disease outbreaks, among other capabilities.

ZimSat-1, a nanosatellite, will deploy from the Japanese KIBO Module after a long delay caused by Covid-19. The satellite is a 1U educational and amateur radio mission CubeSat manufactured under the Kyushu Institute of Technology in Japan. Many experts consider the programme the first baby steps of the country’s fledgling space programme.

ZINGSA co-ordinator Painos Gweme said the launch will kick-start the transformation of Zimbabwe.

“The first one is the rocket leaving earth to the international space station where it is going to dock and take out the cargo into the international space station. And this one is going to start on 6 November. The actual deployment of ZimSat-1 into space will be through the Japanese module.

“Remember we are doing this satellite development together with the Japanese. It is going to be deployed in the KIBO module, it happens after two-three weeks after this November 6 and we have scheduled for November 21. There can be some changes, it is not definite and guaranteed that on November 26 it is going to get into deployment. It will depend on the weather and other issues.”

Gweme said the country will use the satellite to access real time information that can aid development.

“This has a multi-sectoral camera which has a remote standing camera which we are going to use primarily for agricultural application, crop yield estimation, land cover and land use. We can see our forestry and the change over time because it has what we call a store and forward mission as part of the pilot which we are going to use together with the ground centre terminal,” said Gweme.

The satellite has sensors which can be used to sense humidity and this information can be downloaded at the ground station in Mazowe, Mashonaland Central. It can also be used for urban and rural planning.

The work towards occupying space has seen three Zimbabwean scientists being trained. They will be in charge of the satellite launch programme.- Herald

A HARARE woman was yesterday granted a protection order against her husband who assaults and harasses her in front of their children.

Magistrate Tamara Chibindi granted the order to Loice Rapozi who dragged Jonathan Mudzagada to the Harare Civil Court.

Rapozi told the court that her husband insults and beats her in front of their children whenever he gets drunk. She said that the children were now afraid of him and she was tired of the abuse.

“Whenever my husband comes back home drunk he beats me up and harasses me in front of children by calling me a pr0stitute.

“Moreover, he does not allow me to attend funerals let alone socialise with others in the community.”

In response, Mudzagada tried to justify himself saying that his wife was promiscu0us and that if she wanted to continue with that behaviour it was better she divorces him.

“Your honour, this is my wife for 13 years and I only beat her once on October 10 after she had brought her boyfriend to my house.

“If she prefers to continue having boyfriends it is better she leaves my house,” he said.

A ZHOMBE man is battling for life after his wife scalded him with cooking oil over allegations of infidelity.

Taurai Hlala is currently admitted at Harare Group of Hospitals where he is reportedly in a serious condition.

Police confirmed they are now hunting for the woman, Sobrine Muzioni, who vanished after committing the crime.

“On 30 October 2020 around 2AM, the two were listening to music on Hlala’s mobile phone. Suddenly an audio of a female voice started playing on the phone leading to a misunderstanding,” said Midlands Police Spokesperson Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko.

Muzioni reportedly went to the kitchen where she boiled cooking oil and poured it on the unsuspecting Hlala, who was sleeping on the bed, resulting in him sustaining serious injuries.

Muzioni vanished into the darkness and Hlala was rushed to Kwekwe General Hospital where he was further referred to Harare Group of Hospitals where is said to be battling for life.

“The suspect is still at large and we are appealing to anyone with information which may lead to the arrest of the suspect to approach any nearest police station,” said Inspector Mahoko.- Chronicle

Zengeza West MP Job Sikhala, and CCC national vice chairman, claims that the authorities want to keep him in detention beyond the 2023 general elections.

Sikhala, who celebrated his 50th on Sunday while in pre-trial detention at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison, believes the State wants to keep him in jail beyond general elections slated for July or August 2023. He said:

We obtained information beforehand that they want to keep us (Sikhala and Chitungwiza North MP Godfrey Sithole) until the 2023 general elections.

“The purpose is very clear, they want to eliminate me from the national political equation for reasons best known to themselves.

Whatever they do will never defeat the endurance of my spirit to continue on the path of independence and freedom for our people.

Zimbabwe, in its current state, has been placed in the same situation as the one in which Ian Smith placed this country before.”

In a statement that he released as a birthday message from prison, Sikhala said he draws inspiration from the fact that he is not the first to spend birthdays in prison. He wrote:

What gives me the utmost happiness is that I am not the first nor will I be the last political prisoner to celebrate their birthdays under persecution from an evil dictatorship. History is awash with such personalities.

Nelson Mandela spent 27 consecutive birthdays in prison; Dumiso Dabengwa 7; Lookout Masuku 7; Bakili Muluzu 10; Raila Odinga 10; and many other men and women of good standing.

Sikhala faces charges of obstruction of justice and inciting violence.

He has been in detention since 14 June 2022, when he was arrested for allegedly inciting violence.

Sikhala was arrested after he convened a prayer meeting for his deceased client and opposition party member, Moreblessing Ali, who was killed by Pius Mukandi, a man linked to ZANU PF.

He has applied for bail eight times at both the High and the magistrates’ courts but has been denied this constitutional right. | The NewsHawks

ELECTORAL REFORMS : We continue to demand electoral reforms. One of the key pillars in our #PREPARE is the Credibility of the Voters Roll.

The Voters roll must be timeously accessible & independently audited to enhance transparency, scrutiny, & effective planning on the part of political stakeholders.

The voters’ roll to be used on election day must be authenticated and signed off by all contesting parties, candidates, or their designated agents. This is best
practice in SADC.

Copies of the signed Voters roll (with pictures) must be given to party agents on election day to verify and authenticate voters. Allow for external audit of the voters’ roll by a reputable audit firm agreed upon by all parties.

The voters’ roll must be availed to stakeholders not more than four (4) working days upon request and payment of prescribed fees.

Successfully nominated candidates should be given copies of the voters roll to be used on election day within four (4) days after the sitting of the Nomination Court.

Persons with Disabilities and all voters that qualify for voting assistance must be inscribed on the voters’ roll.

A separate list of persons requiring assisted voting must be availed to polling agents of contesting parties for verification purposes on Election Day.

Transparent updating of the voters’ roll should include stakeholder access to logs, the person making changes on the voters’ roll, when such changes were made and evidence to support the changes.

Stakeholders should be accorded the opportunity to observe and monitor the voters roll de-duplication processes.

The voters’ roll given to stakeholders must have pictures and be formatted in such a manner that allows for audit and planning.

A credible voters’ roll is one of the key issues of avoiding contested elections. We demand Electoral Reforms Now!!!- CCC

Final Fantasy is known for one character over all other main protagonists, Cloud Strife. Smash players, Kingdom Hearts fans and gamers in general know the name. What about Zidane Tribal? Zidane is the main protagonist of Final Fantasy 9, a thief who looks out for friends and family, welcoming all those who welcome him. He has little in comparison to Cloud, boasting a tail and two daggers as his choice of weapons. Not only that, but silence is not an option for young Zidane, speaking as much as Barret would. The point is that I need people to stop overlooking one of Final Fantasy’s most creative games, Final Fantasy 9.

Yes, Final Fantasy 7 is fantastic and subjectively the greatest that the series has to offer. Yet, people forget that the series didn’t start with seven and didn’t end with it either. Final Fantasy 9 sees Zidane and his buddies of Tantalus, a group of traveling thieves, off to steal Princess Garnet for their own buck. They go through all the trouble of entering a play to distract the gigantic crowd at a festival, with Zidane and his buddy from Tantalus, Blank, fighting each other with swords for the Queen’s amusement. In this time, it allows them to receive cheers from the roaring crowd and diplomats, eventually stealing the Princess from her home along with other unwelcome guests. Steiner, Princess Garnet’s guard, sneaks on board in pursuit of the princess and her kidnappers. Unfortunately, their ship crashes into a very evil forest, petrifying Blank who sacrificed himself in protection of Zidane from a forest spider. That is just the beginning of Final Fantasy 9!

Throughout the adventure of a group of misfits and outcasts, including the princess, we are greeted by mystical vistas and gigantic creatures of the night. Not only that, but we are introduced to one of gaming’s saddest characters, Vivi Ornitier! When I say saddest, I mean that no character has quite the full circle like Vivi does. He starts off as a quirky, loving character who wants nothing more than to know his worth and learn what life or love are about. What ensues after he meets our party is him finding the truth out about his people, and how he is destined to expire. Not only that, but his adoptive father raised him as a source of food to eat when he got hungry! Vivi has a past of cruelty and a future of shock. His name being a symbol in voodoo black magic, players should only guess about what his future is destined for and where it will take him.

The reason I love Final Fantasy 9 is for the silliness and happiness it invokes along the way, being akin to a children’s story. All children’s stories have darkness lurking in the background and hidden meanings for adults. This iteration is no different, providing players with a loving time of wisdom but a story of sorrow. Zidane is a character who keeps the player guessing and wondering on how he will get out of each situation with his band of misfits and the girl he falls in love with. Princess Garnet, who becomes “Dagger”, is another source of growth in a game all about growing up. Steiner, a father figure, tests his cowardice against the forces of the world to protect the ones he loves. Vivi, a lost soul, looks for meaning in a world that brought him in without it. Freya Crescent, a red mage, looks for the source of what happened to her lover, vowing to never return home without the story behind the mystery. If players aren’t keen on single player Final Fantasy, I highly recommend buying a Final Fantasy XIV account and trying online out. I leave readers with a quote from an underrated chapter of Final Fantasy, and ask those who never have to play Final Fantasy 9.

“I always talked about you, Zidane. How you were a very special person to us, because you taught us all how important life is. You taught me that life doesn’t last forever. That’s why we have to help each other and live life to the fullest. Even if you say goodbye, you’ll always be in our hearts. So, I know we’re not alone anymore.”

WHAT started off as a normal day turned tragic for an 18-year-old and his girlfriend when they were struck by a bolt of lightning on Friday afternoon.

Mashonaland West provincial police spokesperson, InspectorMargaret Chitove, told H-Metro the incident happened on October 28, at around 4.30pm.

She said the now deceased 18-year-old went to Hunyani River, with his 17-year-old friend, and his 16-year-old girl-friend, and her friend, to do some laundry.

“On their way back, it started raining and the two were struck by a bolt of lightning.

“They were both thrown into a ditch and the boy died on the spot, and the girl complained of painful eyes,” said Insp Chitove.

Chemagamba police attended the scene and the girl was rushed to Chinhoyi Provincial Hospital where she is recuperating.

Police urged members of the public to avoid the use of cellphones when outdoors in the rain.

“People must also avoid seeking shelter under trees and being in open spaces, as the chances of being struck by lightning are very high,” she said.- H- Metro

Writing on his official Facebook page, President Chamisa challenged ZEC to release an audited copy of the voters roll.

“A CREDIBLE VOTERS ROLL IS NON NEGOTIABLE!

By all means necessary,getting a verified,certified & audited copy of the voters roll is a must. By law,the voters’roll is biometric. Levying a cost to limit access is unacceptable. It’s a fight for a credible election #RegisterToVote.”
