Chamisa Euphoria Hits Rural Zimbabwe
Chiwenga Business Partner Arrested
By-Zimbabwean businessman Frank Buyanga Sadiqi, who was arrested last Thursday in South Africa, was this week remanded in custody to Tuesday next week for his bail hearing.
The 43-year-old and Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s business partner was arrested on allegations of kidnapping his son in Harare in 2020 and on charges of contempt of court.
Buyanga appeared before the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on Thursday.
However, his arrest warrant was cancelled on Monday at the Harare Magistrates court after magistrate Judith Taruvinga said that she had issued the warrant of arrest erroneously.
The South African lawyer representing Buyanga, Laurence Hodes SC, on Thursday called for a speedy bail hearing for his client, saying Buyanga was entitled to bail.
Hodes added that the warrant Interpol executed to arrest Buyanga on 10 November had been cancelled in Zimbabwe. He said:
His continued incarceration is unlawful. We have an authentic court order from Zimbabwe, showing the cancellation of his warrant of arrest.
… We have attached his proof of visa permits to our affidavit. These would assist in showing he is not a flight risk and is entitled to bail. The accused is applying to have custody of his child in South Africa.
There is [a court] order in Zimbabwe that his child is in his custody. The High Court in Johannesburg is determining which parent would be given custody of his 8-year-old son.
There is no basis to detain him. He was arrested at the address we had submitted. I am ready to proceed with the bail application.
Should the State decide to proceed with the bail [application], we are ready. If there is no warrant, he should be released.
The chief magistrate in Zimbabwe sent an email to the Director of Public Prosecutions in SA that the warrant has been cancelled.
The only document that gives this court jurisdiction to hear the matter is a warrant of arrest.
Prosecutor Advocate Rutondo Phungo argued that the State had to authenticate the documents they had received from the defence before the bail application could begin.
The matter was postponed to November 22 for verification of the Zimbabwean court order and other documents. | The Herald
1 500 Perish In Horror Crashes
By- The government has announced that more than 1 500 people died in road accidents between January and September this year.
Speaking at the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims (WDR) in Bulawayo on Saturday, Transport and Infrastructure Development Minister Felix Mhona expressed concern over the high number of people killed in road traffic accidents. He said:
This year alone, from January to September 2022, we had 38 776 crashes, 1 559 killed and 7 851 injured.
This translates to a traffic collision every 15 minutes, an average of 45 injuries per day, and an average of five deaths per day.
Friday nights, Saturdays and festive seasons are the worst.
Mhona said the government is committed to reducing road traffic accidents by 50 per cent under the National Development Strategy 1. He added:
The carnage on our roads must stop! Surely, it can only be through us that we put an end to the silent killer on our roads.
This is a war we can win as roughly 94 % of road traffic accidents are directly attributed to human error.
A change in human behaviour could therefore easily result in lowering the worrisome statistics.
WDR is commemorated on the third Sunday of November every year and this year it is being commemorated today, 20 November. | NewZimbabwe.com
Chamisa Mulls Election Boycott
By- The president of the opposition CCC Nelson Chamisa said they may consider boycotting the 2023 general elections if its grievances are not addressed.
CCC has demanded an independent audit of the voters’ roll, but the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has reportedly turned down the request.
In an exclusive interview with The Standard, Chamisa said that they will not allow an election without a credible voters’ roll. He said:
We have been there (during the by-elections) to test the environment and also to test ZEC’s sincerity, but that test has left questions.
If there is no credible voters’ roll, we are telling citizens that it’s something that will be a deal breaker.
We will not allow an election that has no credible voters’ roll in this country.
There can’t be a credible election without access to an electronic voters’ roll, a credible one that is audited.
The voter’s roll must be audited by all parties.
ZEC itself has conceded it had noted more than 180 000 errors on the voters’ roll as of 23 June 2022.
Chamisa said they have reached out to ZEC to raise their concerns but ZEC has not responded. Said Chamisa:
We have written several times to ZEC, and we have written a document, a very detailed document indicating where we have qualms with their conduct and attitude, but they have not been able to respond to that document.
We have also written to them about the voters’ roll, but they have not been able to respond.
They have to pass the integrity, professionalism, and accountability test.
More importantly, they have to pass the independence test.

Police vs Rick Ross Over Marijuana On Stage Allegation By NGO
By Farai D Hove | The Children of War Veterans organisation, COZVWA has called on the police to arrest US singer Rick Ross.
The NGO claims Ross smoked weed on stage.
The singer is on video at his Friday night gig puffing some smoke which cannot be verified what type it is.
In a published tweet, COZVWA said
“Ricky Ross smoked weed in front of the public at HICC yesterday.
“Weed is illegal in Zimbabwean land. Why was he not arrested?”
Ross was still to respond to the allegations at a time when COZVWA had neither provided evidence that it was marijuana the singer smoked on stage.

Police Boss Faces Lawsuit For Sleeping At Work
Commissioner General your job description is crystal clear, you are supposed to arrest law breakers and you are not apprehending traffic offenders as per your job description. One just wonders why the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) is the only police force in the world that is not punishing traffic offenders or issuing traffic offence tickets and allowing traffic violators to walk scott-free. Zimbabweans are driving through red traffic lights, driving in one way streets opposing traffic and driving towards on-coming traffic on the wrong side of the road and nothing happens to them. The job of the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) is to arrest those that break the law. Why have we not re-introduced the ZRP form 265 and even the Z69 which are now nowhere to be found on Zimbabwe’s streets.
Cde Commissioner General Godwin Matanga why are we not allowing our traffic officers to ticket traffic offenders?Commissioner, can you put our officers back on the streets with the form 265 and Z69 to ticket our traffic offenders. Why are our parliamentarians not taking action? Is it because they are also traffic violators?It is the role of Zimbabwe’s parliament to increase fines and push for hefty fines that are a deterrent to would-be traffic offenders. Are our parliamentarians the obstacle? These are individuals who are servants of the people, not individuals that exploit Zimbabwe’s justice systems. Your job is to serve the people of Zimbabwe.
Do our parliamentarians have driver’s licences?If they do they should have acted on the carnage on our roads. Commissioner General please bring sanity on our roads. We have ZBC licensing and ZiNARA doing what they are mandated to do, why not our Zimbabwe Republic Police? What is the problem? Do you have something to hide? Why are we allowing traffic law beakers to break the law without penalties without punishing them. Making Zimbabwe the only country in the world that allows drivers to break the law without paying hefty fines.
The job of the ZRP is to arrest and prosecute law breakers. This is what you are doing Commissioner Sir, the commonwealth delegation was here and you lied to them that we have the Rule of Law yet they saw the carnage on our roads.If we can allow carnage on the road what is happening behind the scenes sir.
Lets just get one thing right, punish and issue tickets to traffic offenders using the already gazetted form 265 and Z69, WHY WHY WHY are we not using it please tell me.
You can get me on +263772278161 or [email protected] sir

Police Arrest Rick Ross For “Smoking Weed On Stage,” War Vets’ Kids Call

Are Early Polls A Possibility In Zimbabwe?
GENERAL elections in Zimbabwe – elections in which the President and members of the Senate, the National Assembly and local authorities are elected – are normally held every five years
The five-year period begins when a new President assumes office after a general election, and the next general election must be not more than 30 days before that period ends five years later
This is provided for in sections 143 and 158 of the constitution
The President’s current five-year term began when he was sworn in on 26 August 2018, so polling day in the next general election should be held between 27 July and 26 August 2023
That is when the next general election is due to be held in the normal course of events, but it could be held earlier if certain events envisaged by the constitution occur
We shall deal with those events in this bulletin
Early dissolution of Parly
The first event to trigger an early election would occur if the Senate and the National Assembly, sitting separately, were to resolve that Parliament should be dissolved
If the resolutions were passed by two-thirds majorities of the total membership of each House, then the President would be obliged by section 143(2) of the constitution to issue a proclamation dissolving Parliament
In that event a general election would have to be held within 90 days after the last resolution was passed: section 158(1)(b) of the constitution
Can this be done?
The ruling Zanu PF can get the requisite two-thirds majorities in both Houses for dissolution resolutions to be passed:
· The National Assembly has 270 members, so 180 votes constitute a two-thirds majority
Zanu PF has 182 seats, two more than are needed to pass a dissolution resolution
· The Senate has 80 senators, so 54 votes constitute a two-thirds majority
Zanu PF has 34 seats, but there are 18 senator chiefs who usually vote with the ruling party
If the Zanu PF senators and 10 chiefs were to vote for a dissolution resolution it would be passed by the requisite two-thirds majority
If therefore the ruling party wanted an early general election, it has the votes to get one

ED Promises To Build Prisons
The govt is committed to upgrading prison facilities and building new prisons to improve living standards of inmates in line with global best practices in jails and correctional systems, President Mnangagwa has said.
The President made the remarks at the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service (ZPCS) Pass-Out Parade held at Ntabazinduna Prisons Training School, just outside Bulawayo, where 732 officers, comprising 545 males and 187 females, graduated after five months of training.
Delivering his speech, President Mnangagwa said the country is determined to improve inmates’ living conditions.
“My Government is conscious of the plight of our citizens behind bars, hence, resources continue to be channelled towards upgrading correctional facilities and the construction of new ones. We are, thus, determined to improve the living standards of inmates in line with global best practices in prisons and correctional systems,” he said.
President Mnangagwa commended the ZPCS for the utilisation of its prison farms, which were a clear indicator that the country’s prisons did not need to be overly reliant on the national purse.
“It is commendable that the ZPCS has begun to prioritise the full utilisation of its prison farms, with over 1 600 tonnes of maize harvested this year along with over 500 tonnes of wheat also harvested so far. I congratulate ZPCS for the turnaround mechanisation initiative, which saw the purchase of centre pivots through bank facilities, some of which have been fully serviced.
“This is encouraging and a demonstration that the ZPCS has the potential to produce and feed its prison population, reduce over-reliance on the fiscus as well as make a meaningful contribution to the country’s food security and national GDP (Gross Domestic Product).”
Turning to the graduates, President Mnangagwa encouraged the new officers to continue to further their studies, as Government afforded room to those who wished to do so as part of its human capital development thrust.
“Pursuant to my administration’s human capital development thrust, training and study programmes continue to be availed for public officials to study within and outside the borders of Zimbabwe.
‘‘Twenty-one correctional officers were awarded the Presidential scholarship to advance themselves academically and professionally. Of these, six correctional officers graduated in August 2022 and are now back home.
“These opportunities should be harnessed to impact the overall professionalism within the ZPCS. Such staff development programmes enable correctional officers to competently perform their duties whilst on tour of duty at the United Nations Peace Support Missions. Presently, there are five officers seconded to the United Nations Peacekeeping Mission. I challenge you, the 151st graduating class, to emulate your seniors and further nurture high standards in line with global best practice.”
President Mnangagwa encouraged the new officers to shun corruption, as their chosen career path meant that they had to do everything above board.
The President praised the hierarchy at the ZPCS for the work they had done in reforming the country’s prisons, adding that their efforts would soon be buttressed by changes to the country’s laws. —Sunday Mail

Chamisa Drops Bombshell: No Voters Roll No Election
Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) leader Nelson Chamisa has hinted that his party will consider boycotting the 2023 elections if its concerns over the voters’ roll are not addressed.
The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) has been in the eye of a storm after data experts exposed a number of irregularities in the voters’ roll.
Some of the anomalies unearthed by data analysts Team Pachedu include the movement of registered voters from their wards and constituencies without their consent.
They exposed cases where people using the same address were being registered under different wards.
In some areas, there are registered voters who used addresses of central business district offices, which have not been in use for some time, among other anomalies.
The opposition CCC has called for an independent audit of the voters’ roll, but Zec has turned down the demands.
Chamisa told The Standard in an interview that if Zec failed to provide a credible voters’ roll, the party would be left with no option, but to withdraw from the polls.
“We have been there (during the by elections) to test the environment and also to test Zec’s sincerity, but that test has left questions,” he said.
“If there is no credible voters’ roll, we are telling citizens that it’s something that will be a deal breaker. We will not allow an election that has no credible voters’ roll in this country.
“There can’t be a credible election without the access to an electronic voters’ roll, a credible one that is audited.
“The voter’s roll must be audited by all parties.”
Zec itself said it had picked up over 180 000 errors on the voters roll as of June 23.
Independent election watchdogs said the figure was too huge, and could have a strong bearing on the outcome of next year’s elections.
“We have written several times to Zec, and we have written a document, a very detailed document indicating where we have qualms with their conduct and attitude, but they have not been able to respond to that document,” Chamisa added.
“We have also written to them about the voters’ roll, but they have not been able to respond.
“They have to pass the integrity, professionalism, and accountability test.
“More importantly they have to pass the independence test.”
Zec has, however, said it would set “reasonable conditions” on availing the voters’ roll on a platform only accessible to those approved by the commission to protect it against possible tampering.
The hard copy was pegged at US$187 000, a fee, which again political parties said was too high.
Zec chief elections officer Utloile Silaigwana urged political parties that have any issues about violations of electoral laws to report to the police.
“During elections, the Commission also establishes multi-party liaison committees in terms of sections 160B, C and D of the Electoral Act to resolve electoral disputes and allied malpractices in an amicable way,” he said.
“Aggrieved parties who observe violations of the code and feel that they are beyond the jurisdiction of multi-party liaison committees are advised to report such issues to the police, since such violations are deemed criminal offences.”
Zimbabwe has a history of disputed elections, with the voters’ roll being at the centre of the disputes.
Elections watchdogs and other opposition parties said elections without a credible voters’ roll were meaningless.
MDC-T national chairperson Morgen Komichi said a credible voters’ roll determines a free and fair election.
“That’s part of the electoral reforms that we are demanding. We do not want a disputed election,” Komichi said.
“There will be no legitimacy and the country will remain isolated internationally.”
Political analyst Vivid Gwede said serious pressure, both local and diplomatic, must be exerted on Zec and government on the need for a credible voters’ roll.
“The public needs to know that eligible voters, and only eligible entries, are on the voters’ roll,” Gwede said.
“The roll is also important for other crucial processes such as the delimitation of constituencies.
“Thus, the call for radical transparency with the voters’ roll is on point.”
Zanu PF secretary for administration Orbet Mpofu said Zec has the responsibility to ensure stakeholders have access to a credible voters’ roll.
“Zanu PF has never interfered with the process,” said Mpofu.
“As Zanu PF, we can’t comment on the voters’ roll because we are aware Zec is still working on it and has not yet released the document.”— Standard

Married Woman Sends Nude Photos To Boyfriend
A woman who was busted by her husband allegedly sending her nud_e picture to her secret lover has dragged the husband to court accusing him of verbally, physically and s_əxually abusing her.
Felistas Ndowora told the court that she deserted her matrimonial home because her husband Brian Ndowora who is a police officer was in the habit of beating her up whenever they had an argument.
She said her fears went a gear up, when her husband brought his service rifle home and after an argument he reportedly threatened to shoot her with the gun in question saying he was used to seeing dead bodies.
Felistas said her husband also hacks her phone.
“My spouse is abusing me s_əxually, verbally and psychologically. He sold a car which was registered in my name and bought a Toyota Mark X. I then got a loan from the bank and bought a Honda Fit.
“Last week on Sunday he physically attacked me before he forcibly took my car keys. Therefore, I am applying for a protection order against him so that he stops taking my phone and I also request that this court bars him from coming to my workplace.”
Responding through his lawyer Taboka Nyathi of Makiya and Partners, Brian said: “I am basically not opposed to the relief the applicant seeks from this honourable court but I’m opposed to the incorrect information she has made against me.
“I have a right to access the bank where she works since I’m a client and she has no locus standi to prohibit me from accessing the bank moreover she is a mere employee.
“I have had no access to guns and have never been abusive to my lawfully wedded wife who is in the habit of being involved in extramarital affairs.
“At one point I witnessed her capturing a nud_e picture and she sent it to another man. I then confronted her after that she cooked up all these allegations to soil my reputation.”
He added: “The vehicle in question is our matrimonial property and it belongs to both of us but it seems she has personalised it.”
Felistas was granted the protection order. Brian was ordered not to physically and verbally abuse his wife and not to threaten her.

WHO highlights high cost of physical inactivity in first-ever global report
19 October 2022 News release Geneva Reading time: 3 min (815 words)
Almost 500 million people will develop heart disease, obesity, diabetes or other noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) attributable to physical inactivity, between 2020 and 2030, costing US$ 27 billion annually, if governments don’t take urgent action to encourage more physical activity among their populations.
The Global status report on physical activity 2022, published today by the World Health Organization, measures the extent to which governments are implementing recommendations to increase physical activity across all ages and abilities.
Data from 194 countries show that overall, progress is slow and that countries need to accelerate the development and implementation of policies to increase levels of physical activity and thereby prevent disease and reduce burden on already overwhelmed health care systems.
Less than 50% of countries have a national physical activity policy, of which less than 40% are operational
Only 30% of countries have national physical activity guidelines for all age groups
While nearly all countries report a system for monitoring physical activity in adults, 75% of countries monitor physical activity among adolescents, and less than 30% monitor physical activity in children under 5 years
In policy areas that could encourage active and sustainable transport, only just over 40% of countries have road design standards that make walking and cycling safer.
“We need more countries to scale up implementation of policies to support people to be more active through walking, cycling, sport, and other physical activity. The benefits are huge, not only for the physical and mental health of individuals, but also for societies, environments, and economies…” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, “We hope countries and partners will use this report to build more active, healthier, and fairer societies for all.”
The economic burden of physical inactivity is significant and the cost of treating new cases of preventable non-communicable diseases (NCDs) will reach nearly US$ 300 billion by 2030, around US$ 27 billion annually.
Whilst national policies to tackle NCDs and physical inactivity have increased in recent years, currently 28% of policies are reported to be not funded or implemented. Considered a “best buy” for motivating populations to combat NCDs, the report showed that only just over 50% of countries ran a national communications campaign, or organised mass participation physical activity events in the last two years. The COVID-19 pandemic has not only stalled these initiatives, but it also affected other policy implementation which has widened inequities in access to and, opportunities for, engaging in physical activity for many communities.
To help countries increase physical activity, WHO’s Global action plan on physical activity 2018-2030 (GAPPA) sets out 20 policy recommendations – including policies to create safer roads to encourage more active transport, provide more programmes and opportunities for physical activity in key settings, such as childcare, schools, primary health care and the workplace. Today’s Global Status report assesses country progress against those recommendations, and shows that much more needs to be done. One critical finding in the Global status report on physical activity is the existence of significant gaps in global data to track progress on important policy actions – such as provision of public open space, provision of walking and cycling infrastructure, provision of sport and physical education in schools. The report also calls for weaknesses in some existing data to also be addressed.
“We are missing globally approved indicators to measure access to parks, cycle lanes, foot paths – even though we know that data do exist in some countries. Consequently, we cannot report or track the global provision of infrastructure that will facilitate increases in physical activity, “said Fiona Bull, Head of WHO Physical Activity Unit. “It can be a vicious circle, no indicator and no data leads to no tracking and no accountability, and then too often, to no policy and no investment. What gets measured gets done, and we have some way to go to comprehensively and robustly track national actions on physical activity.”
The report calls for countries to prioritize physical activity as key to improving health and tackling NCDs, integrate physical activity into all relevant policies, and develop tools, guidance and training to improve implementation.
“It is good for public health and makes economic sense to promote more physical activity for everyone,” said Dr Ruediger Krech, Director Department of Health Promotion, WHO. “We need to facilitate inclusive programmes for physical activity for all and ensure people have easier access to them. This report issues a clear call to all countries for stronger and accelerated action by all relevant stakeholders working better together to achieve the global target of a 15% reduction in the prevalence of physical inactivity by 2030.”
Data for the report are drawn from the WHO Noncommunicable Disease Country Capacity Survey (2019 and 2022) and the WHO Global status report on road safety (2018).

Married Woman Sends Nude Pics To Secret Lover
A woman who was busted by her husband allegedly sending her nud_e picture to her secret lover has dragged the husband to court accusing him of verbally, physically and s_əxually abusing her.
Felistas Ndowora told the court that she deserted her matrimonial home because her husband Brian Ndowora who is a police officer was in the habit of beating her up whenever they had an argument.
She said her fears went a gear up, when her husband brought his service rifle home and after an argument he reportedly threatened to shoot her with the gun in question saying he was used to seeing dead bodies.
Felistas said her husband also hacks her phone.
“My spouse is abusing me s_əxually, verbally and psychologically. He sold a car which was registered in my name and bought a Toyota Mark X. I then got a loan from the bank and bought a Honda Fit.
“Last week on Sunday he physically attacked me before he forcibly took my car keys. Therefore, I am applying for a protection order against him so that he stops taking my phone and I also request that this court bars him from coming to my workplace.”
Responding through his lawyer Taboka Nyathi of Makiya and Partners, Brian said: “I am basically not opposed to the relief the applicant seeks from this honourable court but I’m opposed to the incorrect information she has made against me.
“I have a right to access the bank where she works since I’m a client and she has no locus standi to prohibit me from accessing the bank moreover she is a mere employee.
“I have had no access to guns and have never been abusive to my lawfully wedded wife who is in the habit of being involved in extramarital affairs.
“At one point I witnessed her capturing a nud_e picture and she sent it to another man. I then confronted her after that she cooked up all these allegations to soil my reputation.”
He added: “The vehicle in question is our matrimonial property and it belongs to both of us but it seems she has personalised it.”
Felistas was granted the protection order. Brian was ordered not to physically and verbally abuse his wife and not to threaten her.

‘Rick Ross Upset No Women At Front Section’
By Showbiz Reporter | An undated video clip, which somewhat connects to events on Friday in Harare, has surfaced of singer Rick Ross complaining why the front row at his show has no women.
True to the clip, there were top few women at Rick Ross’ front row last night, and Zimbabweans jocked that Gwanda tenderpreneur Wicknell Chivayo and coeague Mike Chimombe were competing with women for the singer’s attention.
“Section full of niggers, section full of niggers, niggers looking at each other, niggers passing the same hooker around to 10 niggers, ain’t no **tches in the section they are looking crazy at the bitches. What are we doing it this for our brother?
Rick Ross performed at the HICC last night at a gig previously hoped would be a grand one, but whose programs got delayed and the attendance was not as previously anticipated.
Mavaza Says Chamisa Following Jonathan Moyo | FULL TEXT
THE BENEVOLENCE OF ED MNANGAGWA PULLS ALL TO ZANU PF.
By Dr Masimba Mavaza | Leader forgiveness refers to the abandonment of anger, resentment, and the desire to revenge against the offender, and it not only means forgiving errors or mistakes made by party members but also means empathizing and understanding your members and to see things from another point of view.
There are leaders, and then there are real leaders. Today, during this time of so much political, economic, and cultural upheaval, Zimbabwe is blessed with a real leader. Real leadership requires an ability to empathize and sympathize with those who find themselves in difficult situations. The President of Zimbabwe Emmerson Dambudzo the person who Zimbabweans look to for strength and consolation when tragic events happen. In times like these when the nation needs a real leader to show that Zimbabwe is one nation, and not a divided nation it does not matter who is dividing us the president has shown that he is a man made by the hand of God and determined to United.
To show his reconciliatory will, the president has risen above hate and opened his stretched hands to Welcome those who had abandoned the party. Of very notable is the coming back of the former minister of information Cde Jonathan Moyo.
Comrade Jonathan Moyo despite his sworn dislike of president Mnangagwa has written an apology and indicated his desire to rejoin the party. While the president extended his hand to many people there is a strong suspicion that he is still eyeing the driving seat. Welcoming a person who bruised and injured you is not a sign of weakness. It is the inner strength only to be found in the inner heart of Emerson Dambudzo our president.
President Mnangagwa has shown his love to unite people but the people come with their ulterior motives. To show the good heart which God has poured on president ED the president took an opposition leader General Mutinhiri and appoint him an an ambassador to Russia. The come back and the welcome exposes the exciting benevolence of HIs Excellence.
Zanu Pf has an effective conflict management mechanism which is accommodative and where internal contradictions are resolved amicably.
Once admitted back into the Party of excellence, strict adherence to Party discipline relating to rules and regulations is demanded of them.
When the Party is attacked left right and centre, its invincibility is demonstrated by adopting the SunTsu art of war principle of “the supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”Zanu Pf extended a hand of reconciliation to the barbaric terrorist Rhodesian regime members and our bountiful mercies can still be accommodative to the once upon a time members of Zanu Pf.
Despite the horrible things done and said to president MNANGAGWA he is still willing to unite the country and move on as United front.
During the ended Congress the president gave an eye opening all inclusive ownership of ZANU PF. The president said ZANU PF is owned by its founders living or already departed, it is owned by those coders who are living today that is you and me and the President, he further accorded the ownership to the future. The future confirms that the party’s survival and continuance is guaranteed.
ZANU PF is not a party of individuals. It is a party of all of the people and that breath ZANU PF welcomes all the people, all those who jumped the ship. Everyone is welcome there is a lot of work to be done in ZANU PF and ZANU IWE NENI TINE BASA”
The President has shown great maturity which has never been shown before. This is a uniting factor which is unique with the president. Political reconciliation involves the repairing of damaged political relationships. In this reconciliatory endeavour the possibility and moral justifiability of pursuing political reconciliation in the aftermath of systematic and egregious wrongdoing, is put aside. We shake hands then hold hands and move together. what political reconciliation specifically require is a true leader who is able to put aside his personal feelings and starts to feel like the country itself. While this neither entails nor necessitates forgiveness it strengthens unity peace and love.
Those who doubted the sincerity of the president when he invited all to ZANU PF now can claim that political reconciliation should be conceptualized as the (re-)establishment of Fullerian mutual respect for the rule of law. Those who said there is no rule of law in Zimbabwe should just look up to the presidential mercy and will see that the rule of law works with reason. When a society governs by law, publicly declared legal rules establish clear and practicable standards for behavior which are enforced in practice.
Subjects of the law thus can form stable and reasonable predictions of how other citizens and officials will respond to their actions. We should realise that this analysis of political reconciliation is compelling. Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa has determined and shown the possibility of achieving and the justifiability of pursuing political reconciliation.
The death of Robert Mugabe brought renewed attention to the remarkable change in Zimbabwe when the intolerant regime was finally dismantled and replaced with a democratic and broadly inclusive political order. For Zimbabweans the end of the First dispensation brought a host of challenges: how should society reckon with past human rights violations—through prosecutions, amnesties to secure peace, or truth-telling to clarify historical wrongs? Democracy needs be balanced with the numerous other pressing issues confronting the new dispensation such as fighting poverty and inequality or ensuring that violence would not return?
The challenges faced by Zimbabwe and ZANU PF were framed as part of a broader debate over political reconciliation, a debate that has also emerged in the country at large.
It is remarkable how often calls for reconciliation never appear in these contexts until the President took a first bold move by appointing the ZANU Ndonga leader Cde Kumula to central committee and accommodates all Ndonga members in the bigger tent.
The appointment of Rtd General Mutinhiri the former opposition leader to be an ambassador and several former MDC members in several government offices. The President has to do a great climb down and declare Penia Mavaza a former UANC member and a Gonakudzingwa detainee a provincial hero, and to declare Chief Chirau and Ndabaningi Sithole national heroes.
This is a God given wisdom and maturity we has witnessed in President Mnangagwa.
President Mnangagwa has developed a political theory, develop a political conception of reconciliation. In ZANU PF the concept of reconciliation became prominent in the political discourse of many polities divided by grave wrongs. Reconciliation is an inherently political aspiration since it invokes a “we” to underwrite the legitimacy of shared public institutions.
The political nature of reconciliation and defining the problem of how a relation of enmity might be transformed into one of civic friendship is invested in President Mnangagwa and ZANU PF.
Reconciliation, on this account, entails a difficult mode of interaction between former enemies that seeks to enclose both within a common horizon of understanding while affirming the possibility of calling any such shared horizon into question.
We have seen the constitution of a political association that accommodates former enemies; political grounds for forgiveness; the collective responsibility of those implicated in state wrongs and; coming to terms with the past through remembrance of these wrongs.
We must realise that reconciliation is an aspiration that sustains politics by framing an encounter between enemies in which they might debate the possibility and terms of their association. Yet, we must also invoke politics to resist the tendency inherent in the logic of reconciliation to bring to a close what should remain open, incomplete, contestable. It should be born in mind that in conceiving reconciliation politically we must reverse the order of our moral thinking. It is a political mistake to presuppose a common moral community that must be restored between those alienated by past wrongs. Political reconciliation would never get off the ground if it required agreement on shared norms and the nature of wrongdoing in order to initiate the ‘return’ of the wrongdoers to community with those wronged.
Rather, it must begin with the constitution of a space for politics through the invocation of a “we” and proceed from this faith in a community that is not yet toward the possibility of a shared understanding of what went before.
ZANU PF has shown all that it is working in the best interest of Zimbabwe.
Mnangagwa has shown that he is not self centred he is not selfish.
Now as we go into 2023 we need to look at maturity of leadership. So far no one compares with MNANGAGWA on forgiveness.
Through MNANGAGWA ZANU PF looks at you as “mwana wevhu” the child of the soil.
It now that we must open our eyes and vote for ZANU PF. ZANU PF has led by examples.
MNANGAGWA learns very fast his association with Zimbabwean Christians at all levels has humbled him and he sees everyone as us not them.
With his benevolence we are all Zimbabweans in our mother land.
ZANU PF has come from far but their humanity is present. There must never be a confusion. Vote ZANU PF for love for reconciliation and development. With Mnangagwa we will go far. Do not be left behind. Join ZANU PF today.
Even Jonathan Moyo is coming home. Who knows, Chamisa might be on his way to join ZANU PF. So is Mahere she might come back home very soon. You will be left alone in the CCC ZANU PF is living no one behind. It is not too late to join ZANU PF. Mnangagwa is calling you. He is saying, come let’s build Zimbabwe together. Iwe neni tine basa.
Frecon Solar water pumps -cheaper, easier, routinely underestimated
Frecon Solar Systems recently crunched the numbers on how much customers – primarily farmers – can save by opting for solar water pumps over diesel, petrol or mains-connected pumps. It found at the largest end of the scale, the savings could reach $33,550 per year.
Water pumps have long been large part of Frecon Solar’ business. The company sends out between 100 to 150 pumps every week, Marketing Manager Blessing Chigwaza told Zimeye.
Few farms would need pumps that big, however, so their savings wouldn’t reach such epic proportions. Nonetheless, Frecon Solar found that for a mid-sized solar pump, which they sell at the cheapest in Africa for only US$80 the customer could save US$1,793 in a year – paying off the bare running costs of a diesel pump in 2.77 years. Compared with a mains-connected grid, customers would save US$1,404 and meet the running costs in 3.54 years.
These numbers don’t even include the costs of travel for diesel or maintenance, which can be significant, Chigwaza noted.
Former Chitungwiza Chamber Secretary Caged
By A Correspondent- Former Chitungwiza Chamber Secretary Priscilla Vengesai was yesterday jailed for an effective 15 months after she was found guilty of attempting to bribe a High Court judge handling a civil case in which she had an interest.
Vengesai was charged with bribery and was convicted by Harare regional magistrate Mr Hosiah Mujaya. He sentenced her to two years in jail but suspended nine months on condition she is not dishonest when she comes out after serving the rest of the jail term.
Vengesai will serve 15 months behind bars.
Agreed facts are that she attempted to bribe Justice Felistus Chatukuta in a case involving Avondale Holdings and TM Supermarkets.
On May 28 2014, Justice Chatukuta met Vengesai at her workplace when the judge was in her private capacity processing a relative’s cession papers. Justice Chatukuta asked for assistance, which Vengesai gave as part of her job, before they exchanged contact numbers for future communication.
On the following day, Vengesai sent a text message using her private mobile number to Justice Chatukuta asking to see her in connection with a case involving Avondale Holdings (Pvt) Ltd versus TM Supermarkets (Pvt) Ltd.
On June 26, 2014, Vengesai booked an appointment with Justice Chatukuta asking to see her in chambers and the judge agreed.
But then Vengesai indicated that she had come to deliver a token of appreciation from Avondale Holdings as a result of the judgment Justice Chatukuta had delivered in its favour against TM Supermarkets (pvt) Ltd.
She also told justice Chatukuta that she was a friend to Avondale Holdings and had been sent to convey the token of appreciation to her. She then dug out a wad of US dollars and extended it to the judge.
Justice Chatukuta turned down the payment and immediately made a complaint, resulting in Vengesai’s arrest.

‘Riki Ross Drops To Tatters Overnight After Joining ZANU PF’
By Dorrothy Moyo | As jokingly as it sounds, Zimbabweans went violent after the nation’s 80 year old despot to announce: Riki Ross has dropped to tatters overnight after joining Emmerson Mnangagwa’s ZANU PF party.
Once you join ZANU PF, you will quickly whither away like a feather that’s fallen off its mother, as the ZANU PF slogan variantly says.
The mocker was a grenade attack on Mnangagwa using the picture of the said ZANU PF member who has recently visited the capital city. The unnamed man in blue jumpers, is coincidently a lookalike of the visiting singer Rick Ross who staged in Harare last night.
THE UNNANED MAN IS THE VISITING US SINGER HIMSELF
Mugabe Never Voted Chamisa, Says Charamba
By Farai D Hove |WITHIN 3 DAYS OF JONSO BOUNCING BACK, THE BATTLE FOR BOB’S REMAINS HAS BEGUN – The late President Robert Mugabe did not at all vote for Nelson Chamisa’s party, his former spokesman has claimed.
Writing in his weekly column, Jamwanda as he is affectionately called, suggested that Mugabe duped the opposition when he indicated he was not voting for ZANU PF in the 2018 elections.
The statement strokes memories of the historic moment Mugabe walked into a Highfields Polling station to cast his vote. Without stating who he suggests Mugabe voted instead of the CCC leader, Charamba said in part:
It is just that Chamisa and his diminishing company always enjoy licking candy, acutely crave to do to the point of brushing aside nuances which matter in reading complex politics. As they did in 2018, when they believed that the late President Robert Gabriel Mugabe endorsed and voted for them, merely by reading from his bitter disposition.
We know better, whatever his public poise and rebuke then, and however much Triple C may elect to abuse him posthumously.
Mnangagwa: Your Vote Only For Me
As the country heads towards 2023 harmonised elections, Emmerson Mnangagwa has urged Zimbabweans to preserve the ongoing development momentum being spearheaded by the Second Republic by voting for the ruling party, Zanu-PF.
Through comprehensive reforms undertaken since the ushering in of the New Dispensation in 2017, the country is slowly reclaiming its space in the global community of progressive nations.
Numerous high-impact investments covering different sectors of the economy are being harnessed amid innovative strides being made by higher and tertiary learning centres, robust infrastructure development projects and increasing domestic production.
These are some of the tangible exhibits of the Zanu-PF Government’s determined drive towards creating more job opportunities and improving ordinary people’s livelihoods.
Addressing thousands of people who came to meet him and witness the official commissioning of 18 Public Service Commission (PSC) buses at Pelandaba Stadium in Gwanda, Matabeleland Province on Thursday, the President said despite the continued imposition of Western sanctions, Zimbabwe was on a transformative drive.
He said the US$67 million Central Shaft Expansion and the US$14 million 12,2 megawatts solar projects, which he officially commissioned at Blanket Mine, were some of the prime success stories showing that indeed “Zimbabwe is Open for Business”.
Already, the investment has positioned the parent company, Caledonia Mining Corporation, to increase output to about 80 000 ounces per annum while employment levels have been pushed to above 1 600 workers from 500 with revenues increasing from US$123 million per annum to more than US$148 million per annum.
The mining sector alone is projected to clock about US$8 billion in earnings this year from US$5,3 billion last year, according to official reports, which is a huge margin compared to about $2,1 billion when the Second Republic came into being.
Despite adverse climate change impacts, recent Government reports show that growing public and private sector investments towards transforming the agriculture industry have seen the sector surpassing the US$8,2 billion milestone target set under the National Development Strategy (NDS1-2021-2025), ahead of time.
Under the Second Republic Zimbabwe is driving massive coal-to-energy development projects with the US$1,4 billion Hwange Power Station Units 7 and 8 expansion nearing completion.
According to the Zimbabwe Power Company, the first unit is set to come on stream this month, injecting 300 megawatts into the national grid while the other 300 megawatts is set for completion early next year.
Several investments in coal-to-coke processing have been established in the Hwange area, Matabeleland North province, which have bolstered mining output and export earnings with massive job opportunities along the value chain.
President Mnangagwa said the Lake Gwayi-Shangani construction, a key project meant to solve Bulawayo’s water problem and boost irrigation farming in Matabeleland region, has been in limbo through successive administrations from 1912 and only took off under the Second Republic, which has channelled more Treasury resources to steer its steady progress to about 44 percent to date.
Zimbabwe is also on the cusp of being a key oil-to-gas energy player in the region with the Australian Invictus Energy firm indicating improved commercially viable findings at its Muzarabani oil and gas exploration project.
Through enhanced diplomatic relations with China, for instance, the Second Republic has also witnessed the completion of the new Parliament building in Harare, constructed for US$100 million funding from Beijing.
Realising that the future of the world is anchored on science and technology, President Mnangagwa said his Government has championed the Education 5.0 policy to ensure Zimbabwe develops its economy through knowledge-based approaches by its people in line with the philosophy “Ilizwe lakhiwa ngabaninilo/Nyika inovakwa nevene vayo”.
He implored entrepreneurs, established businesses and students in colleges and universities to embrace science/technology to develop and register new products and services that contribute more to economic growth.
Given such development milestones and many more recorded in the last five years, President Mnangagwa said Zimbabweans should reflect on these deliverables as an indicator of his administration’s commitment to propel Zimbabwe to greater heights.
“Every five years we hold general elections as a country in line with the Constitution and come next year by July or August we must go back to the people and seek another mandate from them to lead the country,” he said.
“We have already held our party congress last month and I am happy to say all the 10 provinces were happy to say that in the last five years the party has made great strides in instructing the Government to focus on serious issues of national development.
“So, for the last five years, your Zanu-PF Government has succeeded in delivering tangible development.”
President Mnangagwa told the bumper crowd that transforming the country could only be done by capable, informed and knowledgeable leadership as opposed to puppet opposition formations.
He said Zimbabwe was suffering from Western sanctions as punishment for choosing to be independent and asserting its autonomy when it embarked on the Land Reform Programme at the turn of the millennium.
“We’ve then said as Zanu-PF we must not cry because of these sanctions but look internally and, using our resources, develop our country brick by brick and stone upon stone,” he said.
Instead of relying on imports, President Mnangagwa said the Second Republic has taken steps to produce its food, for instance. He referred to the success in substituting wheat imports this winter season where Zimbabwe has achieved huge success in producing 14 months’ supply through boosting local production.
“This is what we are doing as the Second Republic so that you are happy in your country. So, it’s on the basis of depending on what we ourselves can do,” said the President.
“We are constructing our own roads and this time around it is local contractors and local engineers who are championing the projects. We have started with the Beitbridge-Harare-Chirundu Highway.”
He said using local contractors was beneficial as it has cut the cost of this highway from the initial estimated US$2 billion by foreign contractors to about US$600 million by local professionals and companies.
President Mnangagwa said despite sanctions Zimbabwe has also made breakthroughs in producing its own medical accessories including medical oxygen for hospitals while rural industrialisation has also been introduced to empower communities at grassroots level.
“This is how other countries have developed through developing their own products. We are also driving rural industrialisation, which is producing more local goods, we are leaving no one behind. Our agriculture is also transforming and we are mechanising,” he said.
“I can go on and on to tell you what we are discovering and developing. Next week I will be in Tsholotsho to commission a village solar project for 69 villages and we shall replicate the same in other villages across the country.
“So, whatever you are doing, do it with full commitment, we must work and develop our country with the resources given us by God.”
The President then urged all Zimbabweans to register to vote in large numbers in next year’s harmonised elections saying the ruling party should garner resounding victory.
“Zanu-PF as the only party that brought independence to this country, has national interests at heart. Let’s uphold values of peace, tolerance and unity among ourselves as we gear towards the elections,” he said. —Chronicle
Scandal: Key State Witness Against Ken Sharpe Denied Bail After Magistrate Changes Ruling Midway
Bail ruling for former chief Harare City Council housing inspector Roy Nyabvure was abandoned for 30 minutes after a court official whispered something to the magistrate who then adjourned the proceedings midway, only to come back and proceed to read his ruling, but now from a different document.
Nyabvure was arrested last week and appeared in court on Wednesday on the bail application and was back in court on Thursday for the ruling.
Despite that he is still testifying in court, he was arrested after deputy prosecutor general Michael Reza claimed he has already finished testifying. This is despite that he was arrested at court intending to testify in a matter that was postponed to November 28.
Magistrate Taurai Manuwere was giving his submissions pending a final say but a court official approached him and whispered in his ear, forcing him to adjourn the court for more than 30 minutes.
Initially, the submissions that he was reading were written but after the break, the judgement he read out had been printed.During the adjournment, Deputy Prosecutor-General Michael Reza entered the court and fished out fellow prosecutor, Lancelot Mutsokoti from the court and went out for about seven minutes.
Reza is battling allegations of biased prosecution by lawyer Tendai Biti who claim the deputy prosecutor general is favouring Ken Sharpe and his aides, whose company Pokugara Properties is the complainant in the Nyabvure case.
At the same time, another court official carrying a black counter book entered the court and made his way to where the magistrate was seemingly waiting for him. The man exited holding his book which seemed to have been shielding a white document that he delivered to Manuwere.
When Manuwere returned, he gave his submissions starting from the beginning and this time he did not read out the points of law as he had done before he was summoned.
He only read arguments by the state and by the applicant before denying Nyabvure bail.
“From the evidence submitted, the state argued that if released on bail the accused might abscond and not stand trial,” Manuwere said.
“The applicant in a bid to avoid arrest wrapped in legal practitioners who wrote several letters protesting the intended arrest.
“The applicant is facing a serious offence which attracts a maximum term of 15 years imprisonment, and this is an incentive for him to flee.”
Manuwere added: “The applicant is accused of circumventing the standard operating procedures for the approval of building plans by failing to follow the established procedure and plan approval.”
Nyabvure, who highlighted that he suffers from hypertension and has a brain haemorrhage as part of his argument for bail application, said his arrest was meant to instil fear and silence him in a perjury case he is testifying against Sharpe.
Nyabvure’s lawyer, Mutumbwa Mugabe has insisted that his client’s arrest was interfering with him as a state witness.
The state alleged that prior to his arrest Nyabvure had failed to comply with a summons by police which he failed to attend saying he had appointments with doctors.
According to the judgement, witnesses in Nyabvure’s case are his former associates and if granted bail the former chief inspector would likely influence his former colleagues.
“Witnesses who are his former workmates are very susceptible to being influenced and interfere with.
“From the foregoing, therefore, there are compelling reasons for denying the applicant bail resultantly the application of bail pending trial is hereby dismissed,” said Manuwere.
Nyabvure has testified in the on-perjury case against Sharpe, his aides Tatiana Aleshina and Michael Van Blerk and top Harare City Council officials.
He is still testifying in the case where Sharpe, his aides and top council officials are accused of malicious damage to property.
Nyabvure is however an accused person in another case in which land developer George Katsimberis is accused of building a house with fake plans. The cases are running parallel at the Harare Magistrate’s courts.

Kereke Bashes Own Wife
CYBER Security boss Credo Peacemaker Kereke (48) appeared at the Harare magistrates court yesterday charged with two counts of domestic violence and intimidation.
The case however, was postponed to November 22 after he requested time to look for a legal practitioner to represent him.
The complainant is Priscilla Chindito, his estranged wife.
Allegations are that on October 28, this year, at around 1900 hours, Kereke, who heads the Central Intelligence Organisation’s listening centre in Mt Hampden, went to his matrimonial house and found Chindito holding divorce papers.
It is alleged that Kereke had been pressuring her to file for divorce. After he was given the papers, it is alleged that Kereke became violent, and grabbed her neck.
Chindito managed to escape and sought refuge at a church mate in Madokero suburb. She never returned to the matrimonial home.
Kereke allegedly started sending threatening messages, telling her to come and collect her belongings and sign the divorce papers. He is also accused of assaulting his wife’s sister, accusing her of colluding against him.
The State further alleges that Kereke has even threatened to shoot Chindito. -Newsday
Coup Continues in Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe Human Rights Association (ZimRights) says it has noted that democratic space was shrinking under President Emmerson Mnangagwa, and that ‘nothing has really changed’ since the November 2017 coup that toppled long-time ruler, the late President Robert Mugabe.
This was revealed at a ZimRights commemorations on Thursday running under the theme: ‘30 years of Grassroots Organising-Celebrating Community Leadership in Creating and Sustaining a Culture of Human Rights in Zimbabwe.’
ZimRights national director, Dzikamai Bere expressed concern over an increase in state sponsored human rights violations.
“The use of violence and intimidation against the people is scaring people who want to exercise their rights to protest. We have seen a legacy of police brutality against protesters. And because of that, it makes people think twice before they exercise their rights to protest. We have also seen misinformation and disinformation particularly from state security apparatus peddling the propaganda that protesting is unlawful and yet it is a constitutionally guaranteed right,” Bere said.
Bere accused authorities of failing to take any tangible steps to demonstrate a commitment to accountability, justice for human rights abuses as well as respect for the rule of law.
“That question explains the tragedy of the country where we are measuring mal-performance instead of us competing for excellence. Our leadership is competing for bad things. This feels like a continuation of the same regime because we continue to see the same state apparatus being deployed against citizens,” he said.
However, Bere said Zimrights also launched a booklet on human rights to promote citizen engagement in governance and human rights-related issues in the country.
“So what we have been doing as ZimRights is providing the information to communities. We launched the guide to democracy and elections, which is a citizen guide to effective participation to democratic processes. It explains what democracy is.”
Justice minister Ziyambi Ziyambi and deputy Information minister Kindness Paradza did not respond to questions sent to them on Bere’s claims.— Newsday

CCC Prepares to Govern
Re: CCC Preparing for Governing.
How best can we help other fellow members who may need to upgrade or improve both their academic and professional qualifications, preparing them to fit for employment in the new CCC administration,after 2023 plebiscite.
I learnt through out the hard way during the GNU, MDC and Zanu PF ,2009- 2013 where some of us were left in the cold because of inferior qualifications then. Dr M R TSVANGIRAI, the late was forced to deploy novices like Obert Guru as the Deputy minister of Justice for senior party members of his requisite professional qualifications. That taught me a hard lesson that it’s not activism alone that makes one suitable for appointment in the higher and strategic positions in a government .
We have many young people without full ‘O’ level let alone higher educational qualifications who may be disappointed in the New government deployment portfolio/ labour wise .To avoid that,I suggest they have to be prepared now before it’s too late. It will be distatrous if CCC government would end up deploying yester adversaries than our own because of being under qualified , therefore.
Please,give your suggestions how this could be averted.
Sincerely yours

Police Boss Admits Being Corrupt
By-Commissioner General of Police, Godwin Matanga has admitted that police officers are corrupt.
He said that his subordinates were soiling the image of the Zimbabwe Republic Police.
He made the remarks in his opening remarks at the 2022 ZRP Senior Officers’ Conference held in Harare yesterday, according to H-Metro. He said:
The shameful behaviour by some members as well as corruption by rogue elements within the rank and file continues to bring disdain on the image of the organisation.
May I reiterate that the organisation will not condone indiscipline of whatever form. All errant police officers, regardless of rank have been put on notice.
For the avoidance of doubt, we shall not falter in emboldening our zero-tolerance stance on corruption.
His remarks come as reports of crimes committed by serving or retired police officers have been on the rise in recent years.
Some police officers have been arrested for crimes such as theft, armed robbery and corruption.

High Court Removes Marry Chiwenga Case From The Roll
By-The High Court has struck off the roll a property dispute case involving Vice President Constantino Chiwenga and his estranged wife Marry Mubaiwa.
High Court judge Justice Owen Tagu removed the case from the roll after noting that the matter was not moving due to several postponements and the non-availability of the defendant and the applicant.
Tagu also said he could not keep holding the record when the case was not progressing, NewsDay reported. He said:
I could not, therefore, keep on holding onto the file. Also disturbing is the fact that since February 9 the second defendant has not filed its appearance to defend as well as other pleadings despite being aware that it had been joined as a second defendant in terms of the rules of this honourable court; it was supposed to have done so in terms of the rules of this honourable court.
The only way to go about this problem is to remove the matter from the roll and parties be given guidelines.
He also ordered that the registrar be directed to set the matter down for hearing on any available date after new pleadings have been made.

“We Have No Business Joining The Commonwealth”
18 November 2022
By Linda Tsungirirai Masarira- 42 years after independence, my beloved Zimbabwe should be positioning itself for total sovereignty and protection of our territorial integrity.
Zimbabwe should be leading the way in nationalizing all economic sectors that have the potential to transform Zimbabwe into a first world continent.
We set the tone for Africa, when we took back our land from the white farmers who stole the land from our ancestors and pushed them into barren lands in region 5.
That move alone shook the white capital monopoly, Zimbabwe was isolated, we were booted out of the very commonwealth that the current government now seeks to rejoin and economic sanctions were imposed on Zimbabwe.
Fair and fine we have been intoxicated with a colonial hangover for the past 42 years and at what point are we going to sober up, rehabilitate ourselves as a people, as a nation and start constructing the Zimbabwe that we want which has real equal opportunities for all. We have to be able to interrogate ourselves and speak the uncomfortable truths of how leadership in the ruling party and the other two opposition parties mainly CCC and MDC have no drive at all to change the system of governance in this country which was inherited from the colonial regime of Ian Smith.
If there was any sincerity in transforming all the systems in this country, we would be at a higher stage socially, politically and economically.
Sadly the crop of politicians we have in these 3 political parties are mainly interested in power retention and primitive accumulation of wealth and not tangible development hinged on organic homegrown economic models that can make Zimbabwe a first world continent.
Commonwealth is a contemporary manifestation of the British empire, it is a vessel of former colonies with the former imperial master at the helm. British companies control more than $1 trillion worth of Africa’s key resources like gold, diamonds, gas and oil.
What have African countries ever benefited from being commonwealth members except being countries that are further exploited in the guise of a so called commonwealth? Whose commonwealth when there hasn’t been any significant transformation of the so called commonwealth member states beside perpetuation of unending foreign debt.
All countries use diplomacy to lobby in their own interests and I have always said that diplomacy is a farce. Until African countries realize that multilateralism is a creature that has been used to further exploit poor and vulnerable countries, Africa will remain running all over the globe with begging bowls. In Britain’s case, the Commonwealth has served very nicely to advocate its particular shopping list: liberalised, extractor-friendly regimes, low corporate tax rates, and a creative system of tax havens predominantly located in other Commonwealth countries.
As a result, Africa loses £30bn more each year than it receives in aid, loans and remittances.
In the Caribbean 14 nations including a good number of Commonwealth members are attempting to sue the British government for reparations for four centuries of slavery, and Britain is using jurisdiction issues arising from the Commonwealth to block the claim.
If Britain is blocking the claim of reparations from Caribbean countries using commonwealth membership as a scapegoat, it shows that the very commonwealth membership is a tool for repression and suppression.
The Great Britain was built by the sweat and blood of the Blackman, their economy was strengthened by stolen mineral resources from Africa which the whole of Africa should be demanding reparations for instead of being given these useless aid that keep us in servitude and debt.
My heart bleeds when I see the Zimbabwean government making efforts of rejoining this useless Commonwealth of nations which is just a mere post colonial club. The Commonwealth still serves only to bolster Britain’s sense of importance in the world and to make it appear that its outdated stiff upper lipped monarch still has a role in the modern world.
We should never be comfortable of joining groupings that have no tangible benefit to the people of Zimbabwe.
The Commonwealth is not a free trade body like, the EU, or a unified defence group like NATO, or even an international quasi-legal body like the UN. It does not seek to do anything much, other than vaguely demand that members be at least nod towards democracy.
The nod of democracy which is defined in British terms which I find quite absurd.
My conclusion therefore is that we have no business joining the commonwealth.
Zimbabwe should be focusing on entrenching Pan Afrikan values, interests and principles which will enable native Zimbabweans to own and control all the means of production in our quest to make Zimbabwe an economic powerhouse.
Zimbabwe will never be an economic giant using foreign currency and allocating key critical mining concessions to foreign investors. We need to be able to encourage more Local Investment, champion wealth creation within native Zimbabweans and strengthening of the Zimbabwe dollar which again should be renamed to a wholly Zimbabwean name, rebranded and given a strong lease of life.
The economic stability strategies which should be implored should start by dumping all the eurocentric economic models that we are using which destroyed our economy.
We should define our own economic models and start doing things the Zimbabwean way to benefit Zimbabwean people. Where there is a will there is always a way.
Cop Hauled To Court For Disrupting Zanu PF Meeting
By A Correspondent- A Bulawayo-based police officer Tuesday appeared before the magistrate for allegedly interrupting a ZANU PF meeting in the New Magwegwe suburb on Saturday.
Eriezel Gondo (33) was charged with “disturbing a public gathering” when he appeared before magistrate Shepherd Mjanja.
The court remanded him out of custody on a ZW$30,000 bail until December 13, 2022.
His lawyer Nqobani Sithole of Ncube Attorneys complained to the court that Gondo was severely assaulted by the complainants before he was handed over to the police.
Magistrate Mjanja ordered the State to carry out investigations on the complaints raised by the defence before postponing the case.
What happened:
Court papers suggest that Gondo, who was reportedly drunk, interrupted a meeting of ZANU PF’s DCC Area Two which was underway at Mabhodoko Shopping Centre in New Magwegwe last Saturday.
He reportedly arrived at the meeting and told ZANU PF supporters that they must disperse.
Moses Charumbira, who is the secretary for security, rebuked him and asked him to leave the venue.
Gondo reportedly returned half an hour later and told the meeting:
Ndoda kukunyorerai petition vanhu veZanu PF munozviitisa.
After uttering the alleged words, Gondo was again chased away, but he returned a few minutes later and uttered the words:
What are you talking about? The youths are hungry and jobless!
He then left the meeting venue and went to a nearby bottle store where he further shouted:
Muri kurega ava veZanu PF vachiita musangano wavo isu tichifa nenzara; handei tose tinovarova! (Why are you allowing these Zanu PF people to hold a meeting while we are struggling with hunger; let’s go and beat them up).
Prosecutors say Charumbira followed Gondo supported by a party colleague and effected a “citizen’s arrest” on the accused and handed him over to Magwegwe Police Station where a docket was opened.

She gave birth to a baby girl via a Caesarean section at the United Bulawayo Hospitals (UBH).
The two cases are just a fraction of unresolved cases of sexual exploitation.

ZIM MAKES YET ANOTHER DATA PROTECTION ACT-RELATED ARREST AS AUTHORITIES INTENSIFY SNOOPING ON SOCIAL MEDIA
HRDs Alert
17 November 2022
ZIMBABWEAN authorities have arrested a teenager and charged him with cyber-bullying and harassment in yet another onslaught against perceived opponents of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s ruling ZANU PF party.
Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) officers on Tuesday 15 November 2022 arrested Tafadzwa Jaji, a 19 year-old student at Mutare Polytechnic College, and charged him with cyber-bullying and harassment as defined in section 164(B) of the Data Protection Act.
Prosecutors alleged that Jaji, who is represented by Peggy Tavagadza of Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR), generated and sent “abusive voice note messages” on Mutare Polly Diaries WhatsApp group, accusing some ZANU PF party members of being murderers, dogs and claiming that the ruling party is rotten.
By doing so, prosecutors charged that Jaji intended to coerce, intimidate, harass, threaten, bully, cause substantial emotional distress, degrade, humiliate and demean members of the Mutare Polly Diaries WhatsApp group.
The prosecutors also alleged that Jaji insulted members on the WhatsApp group by using vulgar language. The electrical power engineering student, who appeared before Mutare Magistrate Langton Mukwengi on Wednesday 16 November 2022, was released on free bail and returns to court on 15 December 2022.
Jaji is the latest person to be arrested and represented by ZLHR on charges of contravening the Data Protection Act. In May 2022, Chegutu resident Emmanuel Magunda was apprehended and charged with cyber-bullying and harassment for allegedly sending an image on a Whatsapp group titled Berina News of a cockroach bearing the head of President Mnangagwa, which police officers said was derogatory of the ZANU PF party leader.
“I Was Nearly Detained At Heathrow Airport”: Mai Titi
By A Correspondent- Mai TT says she was nearly detained and denied entry into the UK. She said she was handed a notice of intention to detain when she landed at Heathrow Airport.
She said she was questioned for hours on the reason for her visit. Apparently some Zimbabweans had written to UK Immigration claiming that Mai TT was coming for a political meeting.
She said she was shocked by the lies and had to fight to convince the officers. Mai TT said she was tired of her false association with Zanu PF and bitterly regrets having a picture with President Mnangagwa.
CCC Dismissed Jonathan Moyo, Zhuwao Apology Letter As Zanu PF Theatrics
The opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) says it is not focused on the political “theatrics” currently playing out in ruling party Zanu-PF which have seen the party welcoming back self-exiled former senior members after they issued a public apology.
Former cabinet ministers Jonathan Moyo and Patrick Zhuwao apologised to “Zanu-PF members” for supporting the Nelson Chamisa-led CCC. And calling for the ruling party’s removal from power.
The duo’s relationship with Zanu-PF turned sour at the height of factional fights in the party in 2017 which resulted in the ouster of then leader Robert Mugabe.
In their apology statement, Moyo and Zhuwao were scathing about CCC, saying “we hoped in vain that Chamisa would break barriers and forge a new platform on which a cross section of citizens straddling the political divide could converge, based on Zimbabwe’s founding values and principles stipulated in section 3 of Zimbabwe’s Constitution.”
However, CCC spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere said the opposition is focused taking over the levers of power in next year’s general elections.
“A complete non-event which is wholly irrelevant to the task we have at hand,” said Mahere in reference to Moyo and Zhuwao’s statement.
“Our goal is to win Zimbabwe for change. The continued confusion, grubby deals and theatrics by Zanu-PF are of no interest to us whatsoever.
“We are preparing to win big in 2023 so we deliver freedom, dignity and prosperity for Zimbabweans.”
ZANU-PF has since expressed willingness to readmit Moyo and Zhuwao who have lived outside the country since the 2017 military coup.
The two were part of the G-40 Zanu-PF faction that was tussling for the leadership of the revolutionary party against the rival Lacoste group backing then vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa.
The Lacoste camp prevailed, albeit, with the help of the military which forced the aged Mugabe to step down resulting in Mnangagwa taking over leadership of the party and country.

Milken Institute and Motsepe Foundation Announce New $2m Prize Competition In Green Energy
ABU DHABI, UAE, (November 17, 2022) – The Milken Institute and the Motsepe Foundation today launched the Milken-Motsepe Prize in Green Energy, a $2 million prize competition to reward entrepreneurs and innovators working to address one of the most pressing and immediate challenges of our time—access to green, renewable energy.
The winning individual or team will be awarded $1 million, with an additional $1 million disbursed throughout the competition as finalists progress and field test ideas. Registration for the prize is open now. There is no cost to apply, and anyone, anywhere in the world is eligible to submit their idea for consideration.
This prize competition in Green Energy is designed to cast a wide net for inclusive innovation, providing funding, support, and product testing to find the best solutions for sustainable and renewable energy. Currently, more than 600 million people across the African continent lack access to electricity. Lack of reliable energy hinders economic growth, from startups in rural zones to medium enterprises in capital cities. Milken-Motsepe Prize registrants have the chance to play a vital role in creating affordable, sustainable, and renewable energy access for a world in need of innovative solutions to unlock human potential and increase financial and social mobility.
“Good ideas can and do come from anywhere in the world,” said Dr. Precious Moloi-Motsepe, Co-Founder and CEO of the Motsepe Foundation. “Entrepreneurs and new technologies can provide the solutions that will secure sources of sustainable and renewable energy for generations to come, in Africa and around the globe. The Milken-Motsepe Prize in Green Energy will catalyze market creation for innovative, renewable energy solutions and drive private sector growth as well as improve the socioeconomic living conditions of millions in Africa.”
Winning teams will demonstrate the ability to deploy innovative green energy solutions at scale in Africa, with the goal of dramatically expanding renewable energy access. Teams should make use of new technologies or adapt existing technologies in innovative ways to generate at least 60 kWh of off-grid electricity daily (24 hours) using green energy sources.
“Population size and energy needs are both rising rapidly, creating an urgent need to find sustainable sources of renewable energy. Prize competitions have proven over and over the power of human ingenuity to solve seemingly intractable problems,” said Emily Musil Church, PhD, senior director at the Milken Institute. “We hope to see a broad range of innovative ideas on how to create scalable, green energy systems that will allow for increased economic activity on the African continent and beyond.”
This is the second competition in the Milken-Motsepe Innovation Prize program, a series of multimillion-dollar prize competitions for entrepreneurial and technological solutions that accelerate progress toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Africa and globally. The first prize, the Milken-Motsepe Prize in AgriTech, was announced in 2021 and will be awarded in May 2023 at the Milken Institute Global Conference.
The Milken-Motsepe Prize in Green Energy is focused on the energy crisis in Africa, but the ideas and solutions generated could be used to help the 940 million people, or 13 percent, who do not have access to electricity globally.
How to Enter
Teams from anywhere in the world can register now and submit designs and business models. An independent panel of expert judges will select semi-finalist teams to receive $20,000 each to develop small-scale prototypes. In the final round, teams will demonstrate their entries in field tests which will be evaluated for their ability to:
- Dramatically expand access to green, affordable, renewable energy
- Reduce the exposure of vulnerable communities in Africa to the impacts of climate change
- Stall and reverse greenhouse gas emissions
In addition to the prize money, teams will benefit from access to networking, training, and other resources. To register for the prize or to learn more, visit milkenmotsepeprize.org.

Binga By-Election Campaign Peaceful- CCC
THE opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) has described the campaign environment in Binga as “peaceful and calm” ahead of by-elections slated for early next month.
National polls management agency, the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC), recently announced council by-elections in Binga ,Victoria Falls and Gweru.
All the seats fell vacant after the incumbent councillors were recalled by the Douglas Mwonzora-led MDC Alliance party.
CCC Matebeleland North interim chairperson, Prince Dubeko Sibanda, claimed that since the election dates were announced, Zanu-PF has not been visible on the ground.
“This is one of the elections which CCC is literally campaigning alone,” the opposition legislator said.
“Zanu-PF and its surrogate MDC-T seems to have chickened out from the by- election race despite the fact that they are the ones who caused the polls to happen.”
The CCC provincial chairperson said, unlike the violence which rocked the recent by-election in Matopos and Insiza, the environment in Binga was peaceful.
“Our people are campaigning peaceful here,” he said.
“However, we are aware that Zanu-PF normally has a strategy of unleashing violence during the last days of the polls; we are ready for them.”
Suspected Zanu-PF supporters went on a rampage, assaulting CCC members including legislators during the Insiza and Matopos by-elections.
The ruling party’s chairperson for Matebeleland North, Richard Moyo could not be reached for comment as his mobile phone was not reachable.

Lightning Kills Father, Daughter
VILLAGERS in the Ndimimbili area under Chief Mabhikwa in Lupane, Matabeleland North province were left shocked after a bolt of lightning fatally struck a man and his daughter leaving his wife with serious burns.
The incident happened on 13 November while the now deceased Evans Moyo (22), his wife Nomatter Moyo (23) and their three-year-old daughter were in the kitchen having supper.
A source said Moyo’s daughter was sitting next to him when a bolt of lightning struck him.
His daughter died a few moments after the attack.
“This is shocking and it’s our first time to witness such a tragedy in our area. The lightning almost wiped off Moyo’s family and his wife was lucky that she survived and was left with severe burns,” said the source.
In a related incident a woman from Binga, Tuuse Nyoni was also fatally struck by lightning while sitting in the kitchen hut with her five-year-old daughter.
Matabeleland North acting police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Christopher Mahohoma confirmed both incidents.
“We would like to urge members of the public to avoid sheltering themselves under trees and in open buildings such as unroofed car garages or under shades. When they are indoors they should not wash plates or do laundry when it’s raining.”

ZEC Says It’s Okay To Charge 187K For Voters’ Roll
By Newsday | The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) has justified the US$187 000 charge for a hard copy of the voters roll saying it reflects the cost of its production.
It also said it could not avail an electronic voters roll to stakeholders at the moment fearing that it could be tampered with.
Zec chief elections officer Utoile Silaigwana said this in a letter dated November 14 addressed to the Election Resource Centre (ERC), an independent election watchdog.
This was after Zec was given a seven-day ultimatum by ERC to release the document.
“The Zec takes note of the concerns raised by your client. The costs of providing a hard copy of the national roll is, as you acknowledge, regulated by Statutory Instrument 145 of 2022 which we believe are the reasonable costs of producing the same,” Silaigwana said.
“Regarding the provision of an electronic copy of the voters roll, we reiterate that we are in the process of enhancing the security of the electronic voters roll. We believe it is not lost to your client that there are elements that are bent on tampering with our systems and thus bring the integrity of the electoral process into disrepute. We will advise you once the processes are complete and when you can access this electronic copy.”
Early this week, Zec accused data experts, Team Pachedu, of hacking its ICT system, and threatened to cause their arrest after the organisation exposed a number of irregularities on the voters roll.
Independent watchdogs and the opposition are demanding an independent audit of the voters roll.
Silaigwana also said Zec was currently busy with the delimitation exercise, redrawing electoral boundaries, ahead of the 2023 elections.
“The commission is not averse to engaging or dialoguing with your client, but ask that they be patient with us as we work on a critical electoral process (delimitation of electoral boundaries) which process we must complete before year-end if the outcome thereof is to be used in the next general election. We thus are unable to engage them at this time,” Silaigwana said.
Zec said it had started a consultative process with local authorities to split or merge wards that have registered voters above or below the average threshold. —Newsday
Wife Caught By Hubby Sending Nudes
A woman who was busted by her husband allegedly sending her nude picture to her secret lover has dragged the husband to court accusing him of verbally, physically and sexually abusing her.
Felistas Ndowora told the court that she deserted her matrimonial home because her husband Brian Ndowora who is a police officer was in the habit of beating her up whenever they had an argument.
She said her fears went a gear up, when her husband brought his service rifle home and after an argument he reportedly threatened to shoot her with the gun in question saying he was used to seeing dead bodies.
Felistas said her husband also hacks her phone.
“My spouse is abusing me sexually, verbally and psychologically. He sold a car which was registered in my name and bought a Toyota Mark X. I then got a loan from the bank and bought a Honda Fit.
“Last week on Sunday he physically attacked me before he forcibly took my car keys. Therefore, I am applying for a protection order against him so that he stops taking my phone and I also request that this court bars him from coming to my workplace.”
Responding through his lawyer Taboka Nyathi of Makiya and Partners, Brian said: “I am basically not opposed to the relief the applicant seeks from this honourable court but I’m opposed to the incorrect information she has made against me.
“I have a right to access the bank where she works since I’m a client and she has no locus standi to prohibit me from accessing the bank moreover she is a mere employee.
“I have had no access to guns and have never been abusive to my lawfully wedded wife who is in the habit of being involved in extramarital affairs.
“At one point I witnessed her capturing a nude picture and she sent it to another man. I then confronted her after that she cooked up all these allegations to soil my reputation.”
He added: “The vehicle in question is our matrimonial property and it belongs to both of us but it seems she has personalised it.”
Felistas was granted the protection order. Brian was ordered not to physically and verbally abuse his wife and not to threaten her.
Felistas was granted use of the car at the centre of the dispute from Sunday 6pm up to Friday 6pm and Brian would use it from Friday 6pm up to Sunday 6pm. -B Metro

Jonathan Moyo A Shameless Political Turncoat
Tinashe Sambiri|Jonathan Moyo’s return to Zanu PF is not a surprise at all, political analysts have asserted.
Political observers say there is nothing strange about Jonso’s return to his political godfather Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Read article below:
President Nelson Chamisa dodges a bullet Jonathan Moyo rejoins Zanupf…
*Remember Jonathan Moyo!
It was left for all to wonder what Chamisa’s CCC refused to let Jonathan Moyo join CCC. Now it is clear to all who care that after all CCC dogged a bullet.
Since the formation of CCC in January this year, Jonathan Moyo has been in an overdrive criticising Nelson Chamisa for “not having structures.” He launched a polemic campaign to discredit the CCC leader for refusing to take his ill fated advice.
Shockingly, some within the democratic alternative joined Moyo’s bandwagon attacking Chamisa for refusing to install Moyo as his chief political advisor.
To his credit, Chamisa knew that Moyo being the Jonathan that he is, can’t be trusted! A notorious flip flopper and turn coat whose political survival depends on that.
Today the same Jonathan Moyo is back to his 2004 Tsholotsho Declaration godfather! He and his G40 acolytes this week wrote a letter to Emmerson Mnangagwa begging to rejoin the sinking ZANU PF ship. What would have been of Chamisa and the broader democratic alternative had they sheepishly followed Jonso’s advise.
Those who blasted Chamisa for not accommodating Jonso and his ideas where are you? You wanted chamisa to take advice from a zanu?
When we said no to Jonso structure nonsense, some blasted us. He wanted to infiltrate through structures. When chamisa refused he went into overdrive blasting him at every turn.
Kudos to Nelson Chamisa for remaining vigilant!

Ndiraya Speaks On Dismissal
Dynamos coach Tonderai Ndiraya has broken silence on the decision taken by the club to not renew his contract when it expires next month.
The Harare giants revealed this week that they will not be exending the youthful coach’s stay when his contract expires on December 31.
Under Ndiraya, the Glamour Boys finished third in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League —17 points behind champions FC Platinum, having led the 34-game marathon in its early stages.
Some critics blame the former Warriors assistant coach for DeMbare failing to end their eight-year wait for the league title, considering the ‘kiss of life’ the team’s campaign got from oil company Sakunda Holdings.
Ndiraya insists the suspension imposed on him by the Dynamos executive in May, is partly to blame for the trophyless season endured in the blue half of the capital.
“For the record: Mr. Ndiraya officially assumed his football leadership role at the club in 2019 May. Due to Covid19, the PSL League for 2020 was cancelled. Only the Chibuku Super Cup was competed for in 2021. 2022 was Mr. Ndiraya’s supposed full season in charge,” Ndiraya’s business manager Gerald Maguranyanga said in a statement.
“Sadly, the same 2022 season was hampered by an untimely mid-season suspension; which ill-timed suspension created intolerable anxiety amongst the players and the coaching staff at the club.
“Mr. Ndiraya endured the unfortunate suspension when the club was sitting pretty on top of the PSL Log. Naturally, such unsettling action affected the team’s subsequent performances.
“Whilst the final Position 3 of 18 achieved by Dynamos FC on the PSL log was not glorious, it
is also not abject failure considering the prevailing difficult conditions of service at Dynamos FC,” added Maguranyanga.- Soccer24 Zimbabwe
About Diabetes
World Diabetes Day provides an opportunity to raise awareness of diabetes as a global public health issue and what needs to be done, collectively and individually, for better prevention, diagnosis and management of the condition.
This year’s theme, ‘access to diabetes education’, underpins the larger multi-year theme of ‘access to care’.
In the lead-up to and on 14 November, WHO will highlight not only the challenges, but more importantly the solutions, to scaling-up access to diabetes medicines and care.
WHO’s World Diabetes Day activities will cover issues ranging from championing the priorities of people living with diabetes in advocacy to the Global Diabetes Compact, which drives efforts globally to reduce the risk of diabetes and ensure access to treatment and care.

Zanu PF Frog-Marches Gweru Pastors
By- Zanu PF in Gweru is forcing pastors to mobilise for the party ahead of the 2023 elections.
The party has established what it calls Pastors for Economic Development (ED) in the Midlands amid mushrooming of similar forums pushing for President Mnangagwa’s re-election bid.
The religious grouping’s main thrust is to support the vision of President Emmerson Mnangagwa for the country to attain an upper-middle-income society by 2030, ZBC News reported citing Pastors for ED advisor, Pastor Aaron Rusukira. He said:
The Bible is very clear that you can’t separate the church and politics. The Bible says we should pray for our leaders and what we are simply doing is interpreting the scriptures. We are in the summer cropping season, and we need to pray for our country to have a bumper harvest which will translate to massive development.
Bishop Wellington Mupisa, a war veteran said people need to be reminded that the colonial regime used to ban indigenous churches, which is contrary to what is happening under the leadership of President Mnangagwa. Mupisa added:
The President is very clear in his support for the church and as such, we need to also show him support.”
The Pastors for ED national leadership vowed to continue recruiting more members to ensure the church and government work in harmony.
Pastors for ED Founding Chairperson, Evangelist Idirashe Dongo said they wanted to foster the spirit of patriotism in the church as a “thank you” to … Our President (who) has shown great support to his people.”
Also speaking at the event, ZANU PF Central Committee member, Wellington Magura said the party attended the event to show support for the church.
