Tinashe Sambiri| Citizens’ Coalition For Change has dismissed Zanu PF official Patrick Chinamasa’s threats of war if the former revolutionary party loses the coming polls.

In a statement CCC Namibia described Chinamasa’s remarks as empty bravado.

Read full statement below:

Zimbabwe belongs to the citizens not ZANUPF, CCC Namibia fumes!

17 May 2022

Citizens Coalition For Change (CCC) Namibia is quite disappointed by the disregard to the constitutional mandate of the Zimbabweans to choose their own leadership through elections.

On his Twitter Handle, Patrick Chinamasa made it clear that the Citizens Coalition For Change victory in 2023 elections will invite war and instability in the country.

It is quite perturbing that those who claim to have successfully fought for One-Man-One-Vote are the ones who are intimidating the unsuspecting masses in the motherland.

It is extremely pathetic to hear those who purport to epitomise the ‘New Dispensation’ after the repressive Mugabe uttering the same old intimidatory and authoritarian vocabulary used by the predecessor to silence the voice of dissent. As Namibia district, we encourage change champions in Zimbabwe and the entire globe to wake up, mobilise, recruit and radicalize for complete change in 2023.

It must be clear to the clueless Chinamasa that change agents will rise and register to vote in their astronomical numbers as we target 6 million voters for the change that delivers.

Moreover, citizens should not be deterred by the attempt to disregard the voice of the people in 2023.

The politically inept Chinamasa is trying invain to cause voter apathy ahead of the harmonised elections after realising the capacity of our pragmatic President Advocate Nelson Chamisa to resoundingly win the impending plebiscite.

This is the panic button that the desperate Harare regime has just pressed and it symbolises victory for the change champions. It is now clear that ZanuPF does not have political capital to vanguish the simmering desire for socio-economic transfiguration in the motherland.

Our revolutionary obligation is to have our a stable Zimbabwe in the hands of a government with the potential to put the economy on a sounder footing.

It must be categorically clear to Mr Patrick Chinamasa that Zimbabwe is already at war and instability loomed since the early 80s when Gukurahundi galloped more than 20 000 innocent citizens in Matebeland and Midlands Provinces.

In 2002, we lost many people who subscribed to the national democratic revolution and thousands were also killed in 2008 after Mugabe was humiliated by the late President Morgan Tsvangirai on 29 March which resulted in a run off on 27 June. What should be clear to Chinamasa and cronies is that in 2023, citizens will cultivate the varlour, mettle and nerve to defend the vote.

Furthermore, change champions should put into cognisance that ZanuPF has declared war already on the peace-loving citizens.

Ahead of 26 March by-elections, we witnessed our change champion Mboneni Ncube butchered in cold blood in Kwekwe by marauding ZanuPF youths wielding machetes, bows, arrows, spears and stones. May his dear soul rest in power. Prior to the state-sponsored death of Mboneni Ncube, social democrats also lost Nyasha Zhambe in Gutu who was killed for supporting the organic and eloquent leader, President Advocate Nelson during his interface rallies with traditional leaders. Change champions also witnessed politically motivated violence in Chitungwiza Zengeza Ward 7.

Our councillor, Lovemore Maiko was left half-dead ahead of the 7 June by-elections.

It was infuriating to see our prospective councillor with deadly head injuries incurred after ZanuPF thugocrats used bricks attacking his head. On election day, our agent was brutally assaulted at one of the polling stations in Zengeza.

This spate of ZanuPF sponsored violence must be resisted with equal measure. It is now imperative to confront the beast in the eye through emphatic voting and serious effort to defend the vote. Chinamasa must just go to hell and inform Satan that light has conquered Zimbabwe under the able leadership of President Advocate Nelson Chamisa.

In a nutshell, it is now a public secret that the people of Zimbabwe are craving for change after a long period of suffering under ZanuPF satanists. Voting is part of the independence that they claim to have brought in 1980.

It is our responsibility to prosecute the national democratic revolution to its logical conclusion. Citizens Coalition For Change Namibia calls for citizens to embrace dangerous freedom against peaceful slavery under ZanuPF stomach politicians. Zimbabweans should pent up their outrage against ZanuPF thugocrats and their surrogates who are using state apparatus as springboards for the primitive accumulation of wealth.

We are absolutely aware that Chinamasa is trying to instill fear in the change champions but one thing for certain is that Zimbabweans are tired of corruption, arbitrary arrests, abductions, poverty , gross abuse of human freedoms and maladministration at the hands of these perennial sadists. Voting has a automatic ritualistic power to transform lives in Zimbabwe. The highlights were clear during the inclusive government headed by the late Icon of Social Democracy President Morgan Richard Tsvangirai.

A three-year-old Mutoko boy is battling for his life at Harare’s Sally Mugabe Central Hospital after being mauled by a hyena at an apostolic sect shrine.

Denval Chakomoka suffered severe head injuries following the attack that occurred near All Souls Mission in Mutoko.

His parents are appealing for financial assistance to foot medical bills, among them CT scans.

Police in Mashonaland East province said they were yet to receive a report on the case.

The boy’s father Africa Chakomoka, however, told NewsDay that the boy is supposed to undergo several head scans.

“It happened on Friday morning at a shrine in Masango village where my son and her mother had gone for prayers. They were asleep and my wife woke up and saw a hyena dragging our son. The church members managed to confront the animal and it fled, but he was already injured.

“I had to rush him to hospital in Harare where he is admitted. They need at least US$300 for some head scans and we are appealing for assistance from well-wishers,” said Chakomoka, adding that he had informed the traditional leadership about the
attack.

Of late hyenas have been attacking people in Mutoko and Murewa districts.

The largely nocturnal beasts twice invaded Nyahuni Mission School recently but learners chased them away.

THE Confederation of African Football (CAF) has confirmed the elimination of Zimbabwe’s Warriors and Kenya from the AFCON 2023 qualifiers scheduled to begin next month.

This was after the two nations failed to meet FIFA conditions for the lifting of their suspension by the world football mother body.

Early this year, FIFA suspended Zimbabwe from international tournaments after the Sport and Recreational Commission suspending the Felton Kamambo led ZIFA board, in what FIFA deemed third party interference in football matters.

FIFA demanded the reinstatement of the ZIFA board and withdrawal of court cases against Kamambo as conditions for the lifting of the sanctions, and Zimbabwe has since failed to meet the conditions.

CAF had however included Zimbabwe and Kenya in the 2023 AFCON qualifiers draw but indicated that the two nations were supposed to meet FIFA conditions two weeks before the qualifiers begin in June. 

CAF has since communicated on its website that the two countries will be considered losers and eliminated from the competition, meaning that Groups C and K will be composed only of three teams, while the order of the matches will be maintained.

Zimbabwe had been drawn in group K alongside neighbours South Africa, Sierra Leone and Morocco, while Kenya was in group C, which also comprised Cameroon, Namibia and Burundi.

Teachers’ unions on Sunday expressed anger over Finance and Economic Minister Mthuli Ncube’s claims that the Government has done a lot to improve teachers’ conditions of service.

Last week Ncube told Parliament that teachers were never paid US$540 before October 2018 when the Government effectively brought to an end the policy that had placed bond notes at par with US dollars.

Teachers and other civil servants are demanding the restoration of their pre-October 2018 salaries.

Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) secretary-general Raymond Majongwe accused Ncube of creating falsehoods. Said Majongwe:

He can’t create falsehoods. If he isn’t aware that we earned US$540, he can go back to government files and see that.

Soon, we’ll be told that we are not Zimbabweans. The so-called middle-income economy can’t be achieved without teachers.

Our families are here and we want the country’s wealth to be shared equally.

Educators Union of Zimbabwe secretary-general Tapedza Zhou told NewsDay that it was Ncube who was misleading the nation. He said:

Mthuli Ncube should not misinform the nation and himself as well by some cheap semantics.

To then claim that they have done a lot to improve salaries for civil servants when he presided over the loss of value for the local currency makes us want to know if the minister is good at addition and subtraction.

Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe president Obert Masaraure accused Ncube of arrogance. He said:

The statement is reckless and hinges on arrogance. It is a fact that the cost of living is rising both in US$ and local currency terms.

Zimbabwe Union of School Heads secretary-general Munyaradzi Majoni said:

The statements are not only untrue but unfortunate. We don’t know the technical explanations he will use to justify his false assertion on pre-October 2018 salaries. – NewsDay

A man from Bulawayo was arrested last week after he entered a church building and dangled his male organ in front of two women who were cleaning the place of worship in the North End suburb.

The suspect, Gabriel Tshalibe, whose age and address were not given, allegedly exposed his genitals to Sipho Ndlovu (62) from Pelandaba West suburb and her churchmate Ntombizodwa Tshabalala.

Allegations are that on 17 May 2022, at around 1 PM Ndlovu and Tshabalala were at the Centre of Miracle Church of Christ in North End suburb cleaning.

It is further alleged that Tshabile approached the two women and then unzipped his trousers and pulled his privates out of his pants in their full view.

Tshabile allegedly approached the women while holding his organ, prompting them to flee to their pastor Emmet Ndlovu’s house which is located a few metres away from the church.

The two women told their pastor what had transpired and the pastor quickly phoned members of the neighbourhood watch committee who immediately came to the church.

Tshalibe who had left the scene was apprehended along Athlone Avenue while on his way to town and they took him to ZRP Kumalo.

Tshalibe appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Nomagugu Maphosa facing a charge of public indecency.

He was not asked to plead and was remanded in custody to 2 June.

The number of war veterans has more than quadrupled from 34 000 in 1997 to over 142 000 this year following a government decision to compensate more ex-freedom fighters, with critics warning that the move could have long-term repercussions for the economy.
The number now includes ex-political prisoners, detainees and restrictees from the war that led to independence from Britain in 1980.

Critics say the compensation is meant to grease them to support the ruling Zanu PF party ahead of the 2023 general elections.

Zanu PF has since 2000 been accused of using the war veterans in violent campaigns in a bid to retain power.

Buckling under pressure from the militant ex-combatants, the late former President Robert Mugabe administration paid them a once-off $50 000 (US$4 300) in 1997, which sent the Zimbabwe dollar crashing in what was later dubbed as Black Friday.

When the war veterans were paid their gratuities, some of them claimed that they had sustained 99% injuries during the war and yet they had no visible disabilities.

In a recent statement, Defence and War Veterans minister Oppah Muchinguri stated: “In terms of section 8 of the Veterans of the Liberation Struggle Act, those who were successfully vetted, 144 200 are deemed to be provisionally successful until their names are published in the Government Gazette for 30 days.”

Muchinguri said if there were no representations days against their accreditation after 30, those registered would be deemed accredited.

Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association chairperson Christopher Mutsvangwa did not respond to questions from NewsDay yesterday saying he was in a meeting.

Last year, some war veterans were arrested after protesting in the Africa Unity Square in Harare over poor living conditions and gratuities.

Despite that the 2022 national budget did not provide for war veterans’ gratuities, the ex-combatants are assured of compensation as the country heads towards the 2023 elections.

Political commentator Farai Gwenhure said the ruling party was going back to its default setting of dishing out trinkets to war veterans in exchange for retaining power.

“When Zanu PF starts to talk about the welfare of war veterans, know that it has been cornered. The war veterans have been the mainstay of the ruling party,” he said. “It is sad that the war veterans continue to be used and abused by a few people who want to retain power at all costs.” –Newsday

Tinashe Sambiri| Four CCC members who were arrested in Zaka on Saturday have been granted RTGS 10 000 bail each.

The four were arrested for “convening a public meeting without approval of regulatory authority.”

Johannes Chongore, Manners Mundoga ,Method Gwangwava and Tendai Machisani were arrested and taken to CID Law and Order Masvingo.

They appeared before Masvingo Magistrate Farai Gwitima on Monday morning.

Their lawyer Martin Mureri said :”We have successfully applied for bail and the four will back in court on June 22 .
They are accused of convening a public meeting without approval of regulatory authority,” said Mureri.

In a statement CCC denounced the harassment of innocent party members.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has sponsored 20 Zanu PF youths to attend an ideological exchange programme in Tanzania.
Addressing youths and some Zanu PF supporters during the send-off ceremony held at the party headquarters in Harare yesterday, Zanu PF secretary for finance Patrick Chinamasa urged the youths to be good ambassadors.

He said they would be trained at the Julius Nyerere School of Ideology in Tanzania, where they would meet other liberation movements.

The ideological exchange programme is set to begin today in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

“The Chinese Communist Party always wants us to remain on the revolutionary path and they are sponsoring the 12-day seminar,” Chinamasa said.

Former Zanu PF deputy secretary for youth affairs Tendai Chirau, who is leading the delegation, said: “Former liberation parties will share ideas. Zanu PF is based on ideology and we have always worked with such liberation movements. Remember the Communist Party of China provided weaponry and military training to our comrades so that we attain the independence we are enjoying today. We have Frontline States like Frelimo from Mozambique which are going to be part of the leadership training, and we have worked with such liberation movements.”

Chirau said the leadership training was very important as it fit well with the Africa Day agenda on May 25.

Some of the liberation movements attending the 12-day seminar are Tanzania’s Chama Cha Mapinduzi, The People’s Movement for Liberation of Angola and the South West African People’s Organisation of Namibia, among others.— Newsday

Tinashe Sambiri| Four CCC members who were arrested in Zaka on Saturday have been granted RTGS 10 000 bail each.

The four were arrested for “convening a public meeting without approval of regulatory authority.”

Johannes Chongore, Manners Mundoga ,Method Gwangwava and Tendai Machisani were arrested and taken to CID Law and Order Masvingo.

They appeared before Masvingo Magistrate Farai Gwitima on Monday morning.

Their lawyer Martin Mureri said :”We have successfully applied for bail and the four will back in court on June 22 .
They are accused of convening a public meeting without approval of regulatory authority,” said Mureri.

In a statement CCC denounced the harassment of innocent party members.

A man from Bulawayo was arrested last week after he entered a church building and dangled his male organ in front of two women who were cleaning the place of worship in the North End suburb.

The suspect, Gabriel Tshalibe, whose age and address were not given, allegedly exposed his genitals to Sipho Ndlovu (62) from Pelandaba West suburb and her churchmate Ntombizodwa Tshabalala.

Allegations are that on 17 May 2022, at around 1 PM Ndlovu and Tshabalala were at the Centre of Miracle Church of Christ in North End suburb cleaning.

It is further alleged that Tshabile approached the two women and then unzipped his trousers and pulled his privates out of his pants in their full view.

Tshabile allegedly approached the women while holding his organ, prompting them to flee to their pastor Emmet Ndlovu’s house which is located a few metres away from the church.

The two women told their pastor what had transpired and the pastor quickly phoned members of the neighbourhood watch committee who immediately came to the church.

Tshalibe who had left the scene was apprehended along Athlone Avenue while on his way to town and they took him to ZRP Kumalo.

Tshalibe appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Nomagugu Maphosa facing a charge of public indecency.

He was not asked to plead and was remanded in custody to 2 June.

Tinashe Sambiri|The European Union has expressed concern at Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa’s unwillingness to implement electoral reforms.

EU says Zimbabwe is deeply reluctant to implement key reforms before polls.

The snail-slow pace at which the Harare regime is implementing reforms is worrisome, according to EU.

See below an article published by NewsDay on Mnangagwa’s lack of zeal for reforms…

ZIMBABWE has failed to take steps to implement electoral reforms that would guarantee free and fair elections next year, a European Union observer mission (EUOM) said yesterday.

The EU mission made 23 recommendations after the hotly contested 2018 elections, including the alignment of the Electoral Act to the Constitution and ensuring the independence of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec).

In its follow-up assessment on the implementation of the recommendations, the EU noted that progress has been slow, especially as the country is due for polls next year, which will likely produce another contested result.

“To date the progress on the implementation of the EUOM recommendations has been limited, with the majority of the majority of the priority ones not yet adequately addressed,” chief of EU election follow-up mission Elmar Brok told journalists yesterday.

The EU mission met with Zec, civil society organisations, government ministries, the ruling Zanu PF party and opposition political parties among other organisations to check progress on implementation of its recommendations.

“If the authorities and the legislators do not address recurring problems related to vote registration, constituency delimitation, level playing field in the campaign, partisan behaviour of traditional leaders and public administration, freedoms of expression, assembly and of the media, they will undermine progress towards achieving an environment conducive to a greater level of public trust in the electoral process and peaceful elections,” Brok added.

Zimbabweans went to the polls for the first time under COVID-19 on March 26 to fill 28 parliamentary and 122 local government seats mainly because of recalls of MDC Alliance legislators and councillors.

Zec attracted attention over its handling of the polls after data experts unearthed a number of inconsistencies in the voters roll, including fake names and addresses, with critics accusing the elections body of rigging.

The commission disowned its own voters roll, shockingly claiming it had been tampered with.

Analysts said the polls were a precursor to the 2023 elections.

“The election follow-up mission welcomes that stakeholder consultations on some legal reforms have taken place or are ongoing but note with concern that the adoption of important reforms, such as amendments to the Electoral Act, remain outstanding,” Brok said.

Tinashe Sambiri| Four CCC officials were arrested while conducting a party programme in Zaka North Constituency on Saturday.

The four, Johannes Chongore( 55), Manners Mundoga (51) Method Gwangwava (41) and Tendai Machisani (58) were arrested in Zaka and taken to CID Law and Order Masvingo.

They are being represented by Advocate Martin Mureri.

The four are expected to appear in court on Monday morning.

Advocate Mureri said :” We expect the four to appear in court on Monday morning.”

Police have been widely criticized for targeting CCC members while Zanu PF hooligans are perpetrating acts of terror across the country at will.

The United States says President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government has done little to ensure relations between Harare and Washington are normalised as concerns grow that Zimbabwe might have yet another disputed election next year.

Since coming into power following a 2017 coup against long time ruler Robert Mugabe, Mnangagwa has been on an overdrive to try and normalise relations with Western countries, which became sour at the turn of the millennium over human rights abuses.

The Zanu PF leader, who is battling international isolation, has also spent millions of dollars hiring international public relations firms to lobby on behalf of his administration, but without success.

Western countries initially warmed up to Mnangagwa soon after the coup, but a pattern of continued human rights violations have seen them withdraw support.

US acting ambassador to Zimbabwe Thomas Hastings, who is also the charge d’affaires, told The Standard in an interview that Mnangagwa has done little to erase the country’s ‘bad-boy’ image for the normalisation of relations and lifting of targeted sanctions to happen.

“The sanctions are still in place so obviously when my government believes they are no longer necessary, they will be removed,” Hastings said.

“We do try to continue to talk to the government about the underlying concerns, but the human rights and democracy concerns, which are the reasons why my government imposed the sanctions in the first place are still there.”

The US and the European Union first imposed sanctions on Zimbabwe in 2002.

The ruling Zanu PF government blames the sanctions for the tanking economy.

Washington has continued to renew the sanctions saying they would not be removed unless political reforms are in place.

Hastings said there was no political will to implement the reforms as he noted concern on the Private Voluntary Organisations (PVO) Amendment Bill, which seeks to regulate operations of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and civic groups.

He said the PVO Bill would further shrink the democratic space as the country marches towards the 2023 elections.

“We shared some of our concerns (over by-elections) publicly afterwards like active violence, some confusion about who should vote where.

“I saw this with my own eyes at some polling stations,” Hastings said.

“So we will be watching all those things closely because free and fair elections are a priority.

“The PVO Bill is a concern to us…if those organisations are not permitted to operate freely that will definitely have a concern to us, have an implication for assistance and more importantly it’s a concern just in terms of freedom.”

Government says the PVO Bill is necessary to regulate the NGOs and civic groups which it accuses of pushing a regime change agenda.

“That these organisations should be free to operate receiving money from an international partner such as us does not mean we will be doing something unpatriotic,” Hastings added.

Zanu PF plans to use its parliamentary majority to railroad the PVO Bill and the Patriotic Act which seeks to punish citizens accused of speaking ill of the country. -Standard

The 1987 UnityAccord between ZANU and the ZAP, has been nullified, the dethroned Ntabazinduna Chief Nhlanhlayamangwe Ndiweni has said.

Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration effectively dumped the 1987 Unity Accord by not appointing a Zapu side Vice-President, he said.

The Unity Accord was signed between then Prime Minister Robert Mugabe of Zanu PF and Joshua Nkomo of Zapu, who became Mugabe’s vice-president afterwards, under the guise of ending the Gukurahundi violence.

Currently, government has one Vice-President after Kembo Mohadi unceremoniously resigned last year, but remained a second Zanu PF party vice-president.

“The Unity Accord was broken by Zanu PF. Zanu PF kept the name Zanu PF and removed Zapu from positions within the government of the day. The current President Mnangagwa has refused to give Zapu the Vice-President position, an act that speaks volumes that, indeed, the Unity Accord is dead,” Ndiweni said.

He also complained that the manner and descriptions given to Gukurahundi by the Zanu PF government since Mugabe’s time show that the perpetrators are belittling the killings.

Between 1983 and 1987, the Zanu PF government unleashed the North Korea-trained Fifth Brigade Regiment in Matabeleland and Midlands to stem what it termed a dissident menace.

Over 20 000 unarmed civilians including men, women, children and unborn children, were killed.

Thousands of women and girls were reportedly raped, thousands more were injured and nearly a million were displaced.

The Unity Accord silenced the guns of genocide in 1987.

Ndiweni said the Zanu PF government sought to destroy evidence by blocking exhumation of victims.

Ndiweni noted that justice was needed to resolve Gukurahundi, adding that the criminals would get away with murder in the absence of a judicial process.

His remarks come at a time when Mnangagwa had tasked chiefs to deal with the emotive issue. -Newsday

ZANU PF activist Sybeth Musengezi who challenged president Emmerson Mnangagwa’s legitimacy in court was granted ZW$30 000 bail on Friday after more than a week in custody.

Musengezi was arrested and detained last week accused of using a false address to attain ZANU PF membership in 2012.

His lawyers said this was an attempt by Mnangagwa to strip him of his ZANU PF membership so that he has no legal standing to pursue his court action.

Harare magistrate Yeukai Dzuda said it appeared to him that Musengezi had not supplied “fictitious” addresses to secure ZANU PF membership but it was state informants who did so. He added that Musengezi was eligible for ZANU PF membership.

ZimLive cites Musengezi’s lawyer Douglas Coltart as saying that the bail ruling exposed the state’s cooked-up allegations bent on victimising his client for challenging Mnangagwa’s “unconstitutional” ascendancy to power. Said Coltart:

The magistrate’s finding that Musengezi was eligible for ZANU PF membership really underscores how baseless these charges are because if he was eligible then he could not have defrauded ZANU PF by becoming a member.

It really demonstrates that this case is all about persecuting him for being someone who had a different view within the party and who spoke up and took action against unconstitutional practices within the party.

Musengezi filed a court application last year challenging Mnangagwa’s ascension to ZANU PF leadership following the ouster of the late former President Robert Gabriel Mugabe.

Mnangagwa’s legal team demanded that the charges be dropped in letters to his lawyers.

Musengezi later revealed that he had received death threats, which he believes were part of a coercive effort to get him to drop his court application.
