Tinashe Sambiri|CCC leader President Nelson Chamisa has scoffed at Zanu-PF’s success story mantra, arguing real progress is measured by how people survive in the society.

Addressing thousands of CCC supporters in Chinhoyi on Sunday, President Chamisa said :

“Hurumende hamuudzwi kuti irikugona, unoiona muhomwe mako, unoiona muhembe dzaunopfeka, unoiona mumigwagwa mamunofamba, uniona pamutengo wezvinhu muchitoro, unoiona mu mushonga muzvipatara.

Ndipo panokuudza kuti hurumende yaita.”

On agriculture, President Chamisa said his government will introduce SMART AGRICULTURE to increase yield per hectare.

According the CCC leader, farmers should realize profits from their produce not the losses they are currently experiencing.

By A Correspondent| Controversial socialite who recently left Zimbabweans speechless after she openly admitted to bed-hopping saying she will not last over a week before moving on from a break-up has failed to live to her promise despite ending things with her United States husband Tinashe Maphosa.

Speaking on Star FM radio late last year, mai Titi said she would rather jump from one relationship to another than force herself in a marriage.

“If I get dumped today, the following week I’ll be with someone else. I move on fast like WiFI, I don’t like problems in my life,” she said.

Now it appears Mai Titi is failing to move on despite announcing that she has seperated from Maphosa.

She recently shocked many when she appeared in a video burning her wedding gown saying she did not want it to be used by anyone else as it had curses of her broken union with Tinashe Maphosa.

Many people said the move showed that she was heartbroken and still nursing emotions of the marriage break-up.

Mai Titi invested lots of money running into tens of thousands on wedding preparations including inviting South African diva Kelly Khumalo and this could be the reason why she is finding it hard to move on, many people believe.

While Mai Titi made the world believe that she no-longer has emotions to invest in a relationship, it is Stunner’s ex wife Dionne Tafirenyika and DJ Fantan’s Gamuchirai Nemukuyu who have may have stolen the Wi-Fi modem or should we say Wi-Fi network from the controversial comedienne.

Stunner’s ex-wife and Nemukuyu did not last a year or even six months after breaking up from their husbands and could well fit into Mai Titi’s Wi-Fi like character.

Instead of living up to her promise of quickly moving on, Mai Titi appears on a mission to finish off Maphosa’s short lived fame by continuously dragging and bringing out new and juicy details of her time with the now ex-husband.

Tinashe Sambiri|The Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC) is ready to launch the PREPARE document that seeks to push for reforms before polls.

The PREPARE document spells out seven key reforms that have to be implemented before elections.

Addressing a media briefing in Harare on Wednesday, CCC deputy spokesperson Gift Ostallos Siziba described the attacks on President Nelson Chamisa’s motorcade in Chinhoyi and Gokwe as worrisome.

Expired Zimbabwean exemption permit (ZEP) holders who do not apply to be in SA legally must be prepared to face the consequences.

Home affairs minister Aaron Motsoaledi gave this warning on Tuesday when he appeared in parliament to provide an update on the ZEP process under way.

“The ball is in their court, not in the government’s court. We will deal with them the same way we deal with someone who is in the country illegally and overstayed. There is punishment for that,” he said.

Because the matter is before the court, Motsoaledi said he could not give MPs a detailed update.

He said he issued a directive in December 2021 to inform the public he had decided to extend the exemptions granted to Zimbabwean nationals for 12 months to allow holders to apply for one of the visas provided for in the Immigration Act.

Motsoaledi said the 178,000 people who hold a ZEP were on a special dispensation and were not part of the usual immigration processes.

“We believed it was time we stop something we regarded as temporary so we gave people a year to apply for the other permits.”

On January 7, Motsoaledi said to legalise the directive, he gazetted it and on the same day the department issued a press statement meant to explain to the public, the media and the exemption holders what government was doing and the reasons behind the decision.

Realising the mammoth task ahead, Motsoaledi said he appointed former presidency director-general Dr Caisus Lubisi to work with data analysts, former Scorpions and state capture inquiry investigators to produce a report.

“There are two applications we are expecting from Zimbabweans, namely the visa in terms of the Immigration Act and an application for a waiver where an applicant may say these are their circumstances and they ask for a waiver from what government has directed them to do.

“We realised that work needed experts because it is a special dispensation, so I appointed a team of six, including three officials who were dealing with the reviewing of permits and three senior councils from the private sector.

“They have had several meetings to outline how the work is going to be done so there is common understanding and they follow similar standards when they start working.”

Motsoaledi said on September 1 the team wrote to him to inform him they had developed a plan on how the work was going to be carried out and that they received 4,000 visa applications and 6,000 for the waiver.

“Looking at what is still coming and the amount of work, they advised me it would be better to give an extension of six months until June 30 2023 because there is no way they will be finished by December 2022.

“I acceded to that advice immediately the following day and issued the directive issued on September 2. This directive is exactly the same as the one I issued on December 29 2021. I had to issue it again so there is no legal confusion.”

On the legal issues facing the department, Motsoaledi told MPs organisations and forums representing ZEP holders had taken the department to court regarding the permits.

“The court case has to do with the directive I issued on December 29 2021. The first is the African Amity and Zimbabwean Permit Holders Association. Then we have the Zimbabwean Diaspora Association NPC, the Helen Suzman Foundation and the Consortium for Refugees and Migrants in SA as an intervening party. We also have the Zimbabwe Immigration Federation.”

He said the court case is to be heard in October.

“We are not running away from the court case. We have written to the Pretoria high court in view of this extension. Certain papers have been required from us, new affidavits need to be written and we believe the dates that have been agreed will no longer be possible.”

He said government was not targeting Zimbabweans.

“I know people say we are only targeting Zimbabweans, but the Basotho permit is expiring at the end of December 2023. The Zimbabwean permits expired in December 2021. This is because they were issued at different times.”

Violence flared up between Zanu-PF and Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) youths in Harare yesterday morning as they fiercely fought for control of flea market spaces in Mbare’s Mupedzanhamo area.

Tension has been simmering between CCC and Zanu-PF youths over control of the markets currently being controlled by ruling party activists, who are reportedly preying on hawkers who pay them varying fees to operate in the area.

When NewsDay arrived at the scene, some vending stalls and vehicles had been damaged, while shops around the area were forced to close.

Anti-riot police had to fire teargas to stop the clashes involving stone-throwing and hand-to-hand tussles.

But the skirmishes later resumed in the afternoon, prompting police to again heavily deploy in the area.

Mayor Jacob Mafume condemned the fights .

“As city council, we have always maintained that we need to deal with the situation in Mbare, the area needs to be renewed and have order,” he said.

“We cannot continue with the Wild West mentality that is in Mbare. People are being victimised, spaces being taken and it is difficult to provide services to Mbare.

“We need a solution to the issues of Mbare, which includes all stakeholders to come up with an infrastructure, social and economic plan that serves the interest of the residents.

“We condemn violence by space barons and the attacks that are happening there. We need peace to prevail.”

Vendors Initiative for Social and Economic Transformation director Samuel Wadzai also spoke on the skirmishes.

Simbarashe Maponga (25) is a terrified man because while he was driving along Victoria Falls Road heading to Mpilo Central Hospital a Mercedes Benz driver pulled out a gun and pointed it at him while threatening to kill him.

Maponga who was driving a Honda Fit said the scary incident happened along Victoria Falls Road just before the turn-off to Mpilo Central Hospital.

He said he saw a Mercedes Benz speeding towards him and when it got nearer, he sensed danger and pulled off the road.

Shockingly the Benz driver made a screeching halt in front of his car and disembarked from his car before heading to him.

“He confronted me while hurling insults and pulled out a pistol and threatened to shoot me,” he said.

In a fit of rage, he poked him with the back side of the gun threatening to shoot him and when he saw a Kombi approaching, he got into his car and drove off.

CBZ RAID: Armed Robbery or Inside Job?

— ZimEye (@ZimEye) September 14, 2022

5 armed robbers yesterday pounced on CBZ Bank’s Fife Street branch in Bulawayo and got away with US$70 000 amid concerns over an increase in armed robberies countrywide.
The raid, which occurred around midday, comes a month after armed robbers raided a Mukuru branch in the city centre and got away with more than US$100 000.

The branch is situated along 10th Avenue between Fife Street and George Silundika Street.

The branch mostly services clients who will be receiving money from international financial agents.

When a Chronicle news crew visited the scene yesterday at around 2PM, there was a heavy police presence outside the bank with detectives carrying out investigations.

The bank was also no longer allowing clients inside the banking hall and people were withdrawing cash using the automated teller machine (ATM).

National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the armed robbery, saying investigations were on course.

“Yes, we are conducting investigations after five armed robbers raided a local financial institution and got away with US$70 000. The five suspects masqueraded as genuine customers and queued just like everyone else in the banking hall,” he said.

“When they were about to be served, they then pounced on the bank manager and got away with the money.”

Asst Comm Nyathi said on their way out the suspects jammed the exit door before escaping.

“No arrests have been made so far and we are appealing to members of the public who might have information that could lead to the arrest of the suspects to report to any nearest police station,” said the police spokesperson.

City residents who spoke to the news crew said the increase in armed robberies is becoming an issue of concern.

Mr Blessing Nyani, a vendor operating at corner 10th Avenue and Fife Street, said he was shocked upon discovering that the bank had been robbed.

“To tell you the truth we didn’t know what had transpired. We only got to learn about the robbery when we saw armed police officers at the scene and that’s when we were told that the bank had been robbed,” he said.

“This is something that is very worrying to us as residents. Just recently, Mukuru was raided and surely, we are no longer safe consider the rate at which these robberies are happening.”

Another resident, who declined to be named, said he initially wanted to enter the banking hall before he was told that it was now a crime scene.

“I was surprised because there was nothing that pointed to the fact that a robbery had happened. From what I have gathered this thing happened so quickly and most people did not see or suspect anything,” he said.

“I would like to commend the bank for handling this issue in a very professional way. We understand that this was a traumatic experience, but they kept serving us through the ATM.”

The incident follows last month’s raid of another financial institution where four gun-wielding robbers got away with a total of US$100 000 and R500 000 after intercepting a cash-in-transit Safeguard vehicle outside a money transfer agent in the city centre.

Armed robbers last month raided Mukuru branch along 13th Avenue, between Lobengula and Herbert Chitepo Street.

Following an increase in armed robbery cases, President Mnangagwa last month issued an amnesty to all members of the public who are in possession of unregistered firearms and ammunition to surrender them to the Zimbabwe Republic Police.

The amnesty which started on August 8 will run until the end of this month.

By Monday, 412 guns had been surrendered to the police.-Chronicle

MASVINGO-Magistrate Patience Madondo has remanded in custody a 22-year-old Mashava sex-worker after she allegedly stole US$ 130 from her client and stabbed him twice on the chest when he confronted her in the morning.

Esther Musapaimbwa (22) will appear before Magistrate Madondo on Friday for judgment.

Musapaimbwa allegedly stabbed Polite Mawela (49) on the early morning of January 30, 2022 once on the left side of the chest and on the left shoulder using a kitchen knife. Mawela escaped and received medical attention at Bere Clinic where he was then referred to Masvingo General Hospital.

Prosecutor Nixon Chamisa told the court that Mawela and Musapaimbwa hooked up at Upper Deck Bar, Mashava and went to Musaipambwa’s house for the night.

Mawela discovered that his US$ 130 was missing in the morning and he confronted Musapaimbwa but the conservation degenerated into a scuffle. Musapaimbwa then took a kitchen knife and stabbed Mawela twice.

Scores of citizens were turned away at Mucheke Hall by the office of the Registrar General because the government department has no backup generator.

Masvingo City is experiencing long hours of load shedding.

The Zanu PF government has failed to provide consistent electricity supply to Masvingo since July 2022.

The Registrar General office birth certificate and national Identity cards blitz, scheduled to run from 08/09/22 to 14/09/22 at Mucheke Hall, has been greatly affected by government’s failure to provide a backup generator.

The civil servants at Registrar General office’s working at Mucheke Hall are spending long hours idle.The Blitz had budgeted 7 days for Mucheke Hall but it seems less than three days were effective working days.The government is shortchanging citizens.

“Do you think the government was going to fail to provide a generator in Mwenezi? Zanu PF does not want Urban voters.This is a well crafted voter suppression strategy.

This is a well coordinated strategy which involves Zesa, RG office, CIO and ZanuPF.This is daylight election rigging.” Evans Chamisa said at Mucheke Hall.

“I have been here since morning but magetsi aende kare kare.I will be here tomorrow again.I want the ID so that I register to vote for change.They might frustrate me but this is the only way to end this oppressive system.My vote will change Zimbabwe.All youths let us be determined to register.We must vote in our millions because a huge margin is difficult to rig.” Samson Shumba said .

Tinashe Sambiri|Hundreds of CCC members flooded the streets of Windhoek, Namibia to protest at the prolonged detention of Hon Job Sikhala, Hon Godfrey Karakadzai Sithole and Nyatsime activists.

CCC Namibia Namibia says change champions in that country will continue to push for the release of party members.

Read statement below:

Citizens Coalition for Change Namibia Windhoek Branch flooded the streets demanding the immediate release of Job Saro Wiwa Sikhala & others.

13 September 2022

Saturday was an extremely busy day in Windhoek, Namibia as change champions who subscribe to the yellow revolution flooded the streets demanding the immediate and unconditional release of prisoners of conscience Hon Job Saro Wiwa Sikhala, Godfrey Sithole, the Nyatsime 14 and Stephen Ndundu in Mutawatawa.

Our leaders were arrested on concocted charges on June 14 2022 to date. The cobra-headed protesters took to the streets because they suspect law fare since our change champions were denied bail on multiple occasions without justification from the compromised courts.

The Rundu branch is greatly inspired by the revolutionary gesture of change seekers who exhibited their valor and mettle to demonstrate against the perpetual incarceration of our fellow compatriots at the hell-hole of Chikurubi Maximum Prison for speaking truth to power. Residents of Windhoek believe that everyone is equal before the supreme law of the country. Job Saro Wiwa Sikhala and all political prisoners have the right to bail but ZANU-PF’s capture of the judiciary is quite astounding. Citizens in Namibia are clamoring for an abrupt end to this stinking selective application of the law.

What perturbs social democrats in Namibia is that those who loot state resources and incite public violence such as Abton Mashayanyika are walking scot-free when our fellow change champions are languishing in prison cells on trumped-up charges aimed at putting them on mute ahead of 2023.

We have seen all corrupt and violent ZANU-PF leaders getting bail before they even appear in court. Citizens in Namibia stress that the executive should not interfere with the judiciary. Protesters were advocating for an independent court system not forgetting all-state institutions.

Despite efforts to win our diaspora vote which is a non-negotiable right, we shall remain determined to encourage our people in Namibia and across the globe to go and register to vote for a complete change in 2023. Citizens are exhausted of selling cockroach poison, brooms, mops, and others goodies in the streets of Namibia hence the dire need to be a registered voters for the change that delivers.

The District Interim Spokesperson, Tapiwa Tapshinda Mugore invited SADC, African Union(AU), and the United Nations(UN) to aid us to establish independent state institutions such as the judiciary and ZEC which are exploited by the politically inept regime to rig the people’s vote.

Interim Chairperson Elisha Chambara made it clear that voting is part of independence therefore all right-thinking and progressive Zimbabweans in Namibia should gear up for a robust registration campaign toward the 6 million votes target. The message was conveyed:register to vote, vote for change, and be ready to defend the vote from the election fraudsters in ZANU-PF who continue to suppress the voice of the people using violence, torture, arbitrary arrests, long pre-trial detentions, manipulation of the courts and intimidation in the countryside. This must be resisted with equal measure.

Demonstrators intended to mount political and diplomatic pressure on SADC, AU, and UN so that they could pay attention to the untold suffering of our people in Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, Swaziland, Botswana, and overseas. The protesters called for the respect of the constitution and constitutionalism in Zimbabwe. The citizens appealed to regional and international organizations to cheap in and assist us to help ourselves out of this artificial quandary emanating from the incompetence of the ZANU-PF regime.

Let’s all go and register to vote because our vote is our voice. We should go to Zimbabwe in our astronomical numbers so that we can amplify our voices against senseless and bare-faced corruption. ZEC’s independence was also one of the protesters’ concerns on Saturday, there is a need to have guaranteed elections that are free, fair, credible, and unfettered in the motherland. A country has more than 95% literacy rate but there are astonishing numbers of assisted voters including nurses, teachers, and students in successive elections. Election observers should cover all rural areas where people are frog-marched to vote for ZANU-PF against their will.

The University of Zimbabwe is revising the recently announced hike in tuition fees of up to $500 000, described by many students as unaffordable and beyond the reach of their parents and guardians.

At the same time student leaders want to have the matter dealt with in negotiations between the administration and the students, without interference by those with a political agenda.

Vice Chancellor Professor Paul Mapfumo said the university was seized with that matter and urged students to remain calm as the administration is seeking to reach a common ground with the student representative body and other key stakeholders.

In an interview with The Herald, Professor Mapfumo yesterday said the university registrar had two closed door meetings with the Student Representative Council and they were looking forward to having another round of discussions today.

“We are engaging key stakeholders including the Student’s Representative Council. It is feedback that we value. The registrar had two meetings today and we are expecting to have a round up meeting tomorrow,” Professor Mapfumo said.

SRC president Allan Chipoyi yesterday urged students who had gathered to protest to leave room for a dialogue.

Yesterday, hundreds of University of Zimbabwe students briefly held a procession over the fees hike and some raised concern over some rogue elements within the opposition who want to use the recent fees hike for cheap politicking.

“We are appealing to the university Vice Chancellor to reconsider their first position.

“The current tuition fee is not in tandem with the prevailing economic conditions.

“However, we are very much concerned with some politicians who want to hijack the school fees issues. We don’t want any interference. More often than not our genuine concerns end up being rendered useless because of too much politicisation,” Dean Mushawatu, a tourism student said.

Another student, Simbarashe Mukoyi, said the increase was reasonable as it is meant to uphold the quality of the education, but called upon the Government to subsidise fees to cushion students against high inflation.

“Yes it was imminent due to rising costs, We were expecting a slight increase and the rest to be subsidised considering the current economic conditions. We sincerely seek Government intervention in this regard, otherwise the tertiary dropouts will be higher than never experienced before.”

Another student who preferred to be identified as Mutsa, a journalism student, said many students might fail to achieve their goals if the fees issue remained unresolved.

“We are scared that we won’t have the chance of fulfilling our dreams of graduating because our parents won’t afford to keep paying the fees. If tertiary fees keep rising like this then who will go to university?”

Another girl who requested anonymity said she was even afraid to tell her mother who is struggling to raise her accommodation fee.

“My mom is a single mother. I did not even inform her about the new development.

“I am just hoping that the university will review downwards so that it becomes affordable,” she said.

The Zimbabwe Congress of Student Union UZ chapter also issued a statement encouraging students to shun calls being made by individuals who are pushing their own agenda.

“We encourage students to remain calm as the union is working tirelessly negotiating and engaging relevant offices for fees review. Students should not be involved in demonstrations which are being influenced by opposition leadership and individuals pushing their agenda.”

According to the new fee structure, undergraduate students are required to pay anything between $300 000 to $500 000 depending on their faculty.

Students pursuing a Master’s degree will have to fork out up to $700 000 also depending on their faculty and students are expected to pay the fees by September 30. Herald

Despite a bomb scare earlier, our Chinhoyi #ThankYouRally is going ahead.

The mood is electric & the bumper crowd is ecstatic.

Our Change Champion in Chief has arrived & is sharing his message of hope & inspiration for Chinhoyi & #MashBest! #FakaPressure

Tinashe Sambiri|Zanu PF wants to cause social unrest in the country and justify the postponement of elections.

This was said by CCC Youth Assembly spokesperson Stephen Sarkozy Chuma.

According to Chuma, the bomb attack indicates Zanu PF is afraid of losing the 2023 polls.

“Continued attempts on President @nelsonchamisa’s life by ZANU PF misfits is a cause for concern.

Chinhoyi was a 3rd time within a month. They want to cause social unrest.

We don’t want another Somalia or Afghanistan on our shores! Chinhoyi marked 2nd Chimurenga,”Sarkozy wrote on Twitter.

Tinashe Sambiri| Zanu PF hooligans attempted to assassinate CCC leader President Nelson Chamisa in Chinhoyi on Sunday.

Zanu Pf thugs threw a bomb at our Change Champion in Chief’s motorcade in Chinhoyi.

We have noted with great concern yet another assassination attempt on the life of our Change Champion in Chief, Advocate Nelson Chamisa after suspected members of Zanu PF driving a silver Honda Fit threw a missile at our Change Champion in Chief’s motorcade as he was was about to enter Gadzema grounds in Chinhoyi.

Our Change Champion in Chief was set to thank the citizens of Chinhoyi who overwhelmingly voted for the Yellow movement before the criminal activity by Zanu PF took place.

The thugs, driving a sliver Honda Fit threw a bomb that exploded in front of our Change Champion in Chief’s motorcade before they sped off.

This lawlessness which have been allowed to go unchecked by the regime in Harare was also meant to instill fear and panic among the citizens who had gathered to hear the message of hope & transformation from their change champion in chief.

This comes barely a month after two similar incidents which threatened the life of our change champion in chief took place in Wedza and Gokwe, Kabuyuni respectively.

We condemn this criminal behavior in its entirety and urge the law enforcement agency to take action and bring the culprits to book.

We want to put it on record that Zanu PF’s desperate behavior will not deter us from winning Zimbabwe for change. We will continue to fight and demand electoral reforms as we approach the 2023 elections.

We urge the citizens of Zimbabwe to remain focused and vigilant, and more importantly register to vote.- CCC

By A Correspondent| Zanu PF chairperson for Harare Goodwills Masimirembwa had to leave in a hasty on Sunday after unsuccessfully tried to address members of the Mukuvisi Takashinga Housing Cooperative who are bitter with him over his involvement in the allocation of stands in Msasa Park.

The residents accuse the veteran politicians of not acting in good faith when dealing with the company that availed land to them.

The residents allege that unscrupulous people were taking advantage of their plight and taking money on their behalf which has not reached the owner of the land.

“Honestly, you are not welcome here. We want to deal directly with the owner of the land. We are tired of empty promises. We have strong reasons and belief that he is double dipping,” said an infuriated resident.

The residents said the company Msasa Park Pvt Limited wrote to them an offer letter in 2012 before revoking it after being infuriated by the conduct of people like Masimirembwa.

“I wish to advise you as follows that the company generally agrees to offer to Zanu PF Mukuvisi Takashinga District the undeveloped stand situate in the peripheral area of Msasa Park on terms and conditions agreed and that the offer of the said undeveloped stand is subject to a clear survey of the stand as appears on the general diagram,” reads the letter.

Masimirembwa said he was in the meeting when contacted for comment.

“I have been helping the people and I will continue to help them because it is my mandate. However, I cannot say much because I am in a meeting,” he said.

However, Zanu PF through Masimirembwa has written a letter distancing itself from members who have taken the case to the High Court.

“Zanu PF Harare Province is involved in the positive discussions with Msasa Park Pvt LtD to ensure regularisation of the illegal settlement established by heartless illegal land barons. No evictions have taken place since 2013 despite the land owner having the right to do,” reads the letter.

By Dorothy Moyo | ZANU PF activist Rutendo Matinyarare has responded to allegations that he duped YouTuber, Wode Maya, a USD3,000 lumpsum.

The incident reportedly happened during Wode Maya’s recent visit to Zimbabwe where he recorded a series of promotional videos for the ZANU PF controlled government.

“You stole from Wode Maya, return his USD3,000,” wrote Kuda Chihuri, to which Matinyarare did not deny the existence of a dispute with Maya. He replied by asking, “how much do you think it would cost to travel 3000km in 12 days in this level of luxury with a person like me putting my business aside to drive?

“How much would it cost to hire the same car and pay fuel and extra mileage?”

Matinyarare did not demonstrate any interest to settle with Wode Maya on the dispute.
