Tinashe Sambiri|UK Government Minister for Africa, James Duddridge, has challenged Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration to release jailed political activists.
Duddridge dencounced the detention and harassment of perceived government opponents in Zimbabwe.
“Bail denied again for Joana Mamombe and Cecilia Chimbiri in Zimbabwe.
I call on Zimbabwe’s authorities to ensure all are treated equally under the law, and to show action on the government’s commitments to reform. Harassment of political opponents needs to end,” Duddridge posted on Twitter.
Tinashe Sambiri |Zimbabwe shall get rid of politics of coercion, President Nelson Chamisa has said.
President Chamisa was responding to a declaration by a Zanu PF apologist that the opposition will never rule Zimbabwe.
“A New Zimbabwe shall get rid of politics of coercion. Yes, the opposition haisi kuzotonga Zimbabwe but will lead Zimbabwe to the Promised Land.
We shall lead, not rule Zimbabwe. Citizens have a right to associate with any party of their choice and gold is for all Zimbabweans, not Zanu pf alone. Zanu pf is not Zimbabwe and Zimbabwe is not Zanu pf,” President Chamisa wrote on Twitter.
He also bemoaned the lack of political tolerance in the country.
Outspoken war veterans secretary-general, Victor Matemadanda, has lashed out at his Zanu PF critics for prematurely “rushing to write his political obituary”. Speaking to the Daily News yesterday, the deputy Defence minister also insisted that he was still the ruling party’s national political commissar despite his reported recent axing from the position.
In this regard, Matemadanda emphasised, he was continuing to perform his duties, as usual, as Zanu PF’s national political commissar.
“I am only being told through social media that I was fired, but on Saturday I attended the central committee meeting and did my work.
“Yesterday (Monday), I was in the office doing my work as the national political commissar. I don’t know who fired me in the press.
“If anything has been done by Zanu PF it is the secretary for information and publicity who will announce that.
“But if there is anyone in the politburo … who got excited that I had been fired, when at the end of last week’s meeting it was not announced by the spokesperson, and they decided to tell the nation that I had been fired, this shows that there are foolish people at that level of leadership,” the defiant Matemadanda told the Daily News.
“People are reacting to social media to say I was insubordinate to the likes of (Zanu PF secretary for administration) Obert Mpofu, Patrick Chinamasa, July Moyo, Mudha (Owen Ncube) and Dickson Dzora, but you know very well that I am senior to most of those people.
“How does a senior become insubordinate to his juniors? People just enjoy writing about me, but I don’t know where they are getting this from.
“I am a soldier and I don’t deploy myself. I get deployed by my commander. I was deployed in Mozambique when I was a serving soldier … where there were live bullets,” Matemadanda further told the Daily News.
“I had my own gun, and was prepared to kill or be killed, but I never tried to reason whether it was fair or unfair.
“This is my behaviour. So, we don’t question when we are deployed, although there is nothing yet that I have been formally informed about regarding the talk that I was redeployed.
“The president has not assigned me although he has the right to send me wherever he wants. He simply told me that there is some critical assignment to give me,” Matemadanda also said.
“I don’t know if there is someone he later told that he wanted to send me to Mozambique or he has fired me, like I am now hearing. All he said was that where he wanted to send me, someone of my level in politics was required and that is the politburo level.
“When we are in the politburo it doesn’t matter that I am in the commissariat, but the level I have is that I am a member of the politburo,” Matemadanda added.
“That has not been withdrawn and even as the secretary for the commissariat, I have not been replaced. If that was the case he (President Emmerson Mnangagwa) would have appointed my deputy, Omega Hungwe to act in my position, but he didn’t do that because I am still here,” he reasoned further.
Matemadanda, apart from being cut loose from the top leadership of the ruling party, is also said to be set to lose his ministerial post — with Mnangagwa apparently preparing to give him a diplomatic posting.
Yesterday, Matemadanda said if things turned out that way, being deployed as an ambassador would be a promotion for him.
“If I am deployed to Mozambique like what is being said, what is bad about that? Who among all the ministers doesn’t want to become an ambassador to represent the president and the country?
“If he has to appoint me, in any case, I know I am not going to be a career diplomat? I am not going to be transferred from one mission to the other.
“The president said that he would want to give me a specific assignment guided by how he knows me and what I can achieve for the country,” Matemadanda further told the Daily News. “When I am done with that assignment, it is up to him if he wants to give me another assignment.
“I am not that kind of a person who would be deployed on the basis of saying enda unotamba kuri kutamba vamwe (I am valued).
“I am a valuable resource whether people like it or not. I am not bragging about it,” Matemadanda further let rip at his Zanu PF opponents.
He also alleged that some of his ruling party critics once belonged to the vanquished Generation 40 (G40) faction, although they were now “feigning love” for Mnangagwa.
“Talk about operation Restore Legacy … there are people going around saying what they want, but as a person who was at the forefront, I have never spoken about that.
“I am not someone who wants to be hailed all the time, but there are a lot of things that I have done which the party knows, but there are people who are jealous about that.
“That is not going to take the talent I have … Some of them (his critics) even refused to help us as they were mobilising for Grace Mugabe’s rallies. I was arrested and suffered for ED when they refused.
“Now that they are sitting pretty, they are saying all sorts of nonsense. I will not waste my time talking about those fools,” Matemadanda thundered further.
All this comes after Matemadanda was said to have been cut loose as Zanu PF’s national political commissar, after he allegedly and unilaterally wrote a circular to district co-ordinating committees (DCCs) and provincial chairpersons on March 15, ordering them to stop convening unconstitutional meetings.
The DCCs — which were scrapped in 2012 at the height of Zanu PF’s factional, tribal and succession wars, in the twilight of Mugabe’s rule — stand accused of usurping the powers of other organs of the ruling party.
In the March 15 circular to Zanu PF’s provincial and DCC chairpersons, Matemadanda ordered the divisive structures to stop convening unconstitutional meetings forthwith.
Matemadanda was among those who played a critical role in the ouster of Mugabe, who was swept from power by a stunning but popular military putsch in November 2017. He was appointed Zanu PF’s national political commissar after the historic July 2018 elections, following the sacking of retired lieutenant general Engelbert Rugeje. He was also subsequently appointed deputy Defence minister the same year. -Daily News
Tinashe Sambiri|MDC Alliance vice chairperson Hon Job Sikhala has said Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa is taking the country back to Stone Age.
Hon Sikhala scoffed at Mr Mnangagwa’s ambitious baking project saying the Zanu PF leader lied to the nation.
“Nhai Mnangagwa ko project yemahovhoni iyi yave papi? Honestly, hw wld you lie to people, that our economy was going to grow through this kind of project when other countries open gigantic national projects.
This gvt is doing everything possible in its power to take us to the Stone Age,” Hon Sikhala wrote on Twitter.
Hon Sikhala also accused government “spindoctor” Nick Mangwana of misleading the nation by accusing Netsai Marova of provoking the police.
“Shame on you @nickmangwana for harassing and persecuting this young woman.
I was there and I am an eyewitness to what happened.
@MarovaNetsai is the one who was assaulted by the police on our presence and pushed against the wall. The beauty of it is that there are cctv at Harare CPS”
Two EFF MPs who stormed the podium when public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan delivered his budget vote speech on July 11 2019 should be suspended without pay for no longer than 30 days.
Fourteen other EFF MPs who were part of a group who disrupted the speech should receive a fine not more than an equivalent of a month’s salary.
These recommendations were made by parliament’s powers and privileges committee, and announced on Wednesday.
The committee met on Wednesday to consider mitigating and aggravating factors, as well as the appropriate penalties, relating to the 2019 incident. The EFF MPs had already been found guilty of contempt.
None of the MPs attended their three-day disciplinary hearing.
In a statement, the committee said it accepted the arguments and the submissions of the external initiator, advocate Ncumisa Mayosi, who was appointed to lead evidence against the conduct of the EFF members.
The committee recommended to the National Assembly a sanction of suspension without remuneration not exceeding 30 days for Nthako Matiase and Primrose Sonti.
Regarding the 14 other EFF MPs, the committee agreed to recommend a sanction of a fine not exceeding the equivalent of one month’s salary and allowances. These MPs are Khonziwe Hlonyana, Rosina Komane, Khanya Ceza, Makosini Chabangu, Thokozani Langa, Brian Madlingozi, Mathibe Mohlala, Mothusi Montwedi, Thembi Msane, Dumisani Mthenjane, Nazier Paulsen, Henry Shembeni, Mathapelo Siwisa and Lorato Tito. -Sowetan
Upset stomach, irritability, and sluggishness are all possible warnings you’re overdoing it on the sweet stuff.

stacked sugar cubes Overdoing it on sugar can show up in surprising ways throughout your body.Yaroslav Danylchenko/Stocksy Sugar gets a bad rap, but the truth is that it’s a vital source of energy and essential to our survival. Of course, not all sugars are the same. Fructose found in fruits and vegetables and lactose in dairy-rich foods are natural sugars we don’t have to be as concerned about because these foods also have fiber and calcium, for example. Added sugars, however, which are often found in processed foods, are those we could do without, and most of us consume too much of them.
According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020–2025, the average American consumes 270 calories of added sugars, or 17 teaspoons, each day.
Added sugars are anything that’s added to food to make it taste sweet, and this includes natural sugars like honey and maple syrup. “Even though they may be more wholesome than table sugar, it’s still contributing more calories but not much in the way of vitamins and minerals,” says Jessica Cording, RD, a health coach in New York City and author of The Little Book of Game Changers.
Sugar is sneaky and can hide under 61 different names, according to the University of California in San Francisco. Despite your best efforts to make healthy food choices, you could be getting more sugar than you bargained for.
Negative Effects of Sugar on the Body
Per Harvard Health Publishing, when we eat sugar, most of it gets broken down and absorbed in the small intestine.
Specialized enzymes attack larger molecules and convert them into three simpler sugars: glucose, galactose, and fructose. The liver and muscles store some of the glucose as glycogen, a molecule that can be turned back into glucose when your body needs it.
When glucose enters the bloodstream, however, levels of blood glucose rise. In response, the pancreas secretes insulin to help glucose get where it needs to go in your body.
If you’re consuming large amounts of added sugar, the cells can become resistant to insulin over time — a risk factor for systemic inflammation, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic conditions.
According to a study published in November 2016 in the journal Nutrients, consuming too much added sugar has also been linked to weight gain and obesity, risk factors for heart disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and cancer.
“Excessive intakes of added sugars impact our energy, mood, weight, and disease risk,” Cording says. “Across the board it can impact our physical and mental well-being.”
“In order for us to function as smoothly and as normally as possible, we need our blood sugar to be operating in the Goldilocks zone of energy,” says William W. Li, MD, a physician in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and author of Eat to Beat Disease.
Are You Eating Too Much Sugar?
The recommendations for limits on added sugars vary among industry groups. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020–2025, which are published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Department of Agriculture, recommend limiting calories from added sugars to no more than 10 percent each day. For someone who consumes 2,000 calories a day, that’s a maximum of about 12 teaspoons worth…

A Chiredzi farmer has been trampled to death by a herd of elephants after he tried to scare them away from his sorghum field in the Save Valley Conservancy.
The body of Peter Negate (41) of Chegwite area between Humane and Senukwe ranches was found covered with sorghum stover and shrubbery by villagers Monday morning.
Before his tragic death, Negate had toured one of his fields and discovered that jumbos had feasted on his sorghum crop.
According to Masvingo police spokesperson Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa, Negate decided to spend the night in the field anticipating return of the jumbos. Return they did just after midnight, and Negate decided to scare them away.
However, the jumbos became aggressive and charged at him before trampling him to death.
Police Support Unit and Parks and Wildlife Management Authority teams who attended the scene found that Negate’s left leg was broken while part of his ribs and bowels were protruding. – Herald
A Karoi man appeared in court in Harare yesterday for allegedly defrauding CBZ Agro-yield (Pvt) Limited of agricultural inputs worth US$45 347.
Gamuchirai Carlton Gorogodo appeared at the Harare Magistrates Court charged with fraud.
Gorogodo, who was being represented by lawyer Mr Simon Chabuka, was not asked to plead to the charge when he appeared before Mrs Tafadzwa Miti who remanded him to April 14 on $15 000 bail.
It is said that on November 2 last year Gorogodo applied for farming inputs for the 2020/21 farming season from CBZ Agro-yield.
In his application, he allegedly stated that he had a farming contract with one Madani who owns Zebra Downs Farm in Karoi. Allegations are that the application found its way into the CBZ Agro-yield offices for processing and it was approved.
He is said to have been issued with 100x25kgs seed maize, 5 000 litres of diesel, chemicals and 30 tonnes of compound D fertiliser.
On December 23, 2020, a 30-tonne truck was intercepted by officials from the Command Agriculture scheme, while loaded with 600x50kg compound D fertilisers which were to be delivered to Gorogodo.
Investigations revealed that his name was not in the Command Agriculture data base and he was arrested. Herald
WILLARD Katsande could be headed back to where his South African journey began in June.
Phakathi has heard that the Amakhosi midfielder is on the wanted list at Stellenbosch who are closely monitoring his situation at Naturena.
Katsande is said to be on the list of players who will not be retained at Amakhosi at the end of the season.
He started his career at Ajax Cape Town before he was lured to Gauteng.
But a source has revealed that he might not take the Stellies offer because he has lost his love for the game after what’s he gone through at Chiefs in his last days.
“His spirit is broken, he didn’t know that his last days at Naturena would be this bad. He hoped he would be given a proper send off, and not be kicked to the curb like it is happening,” said a source.
“That’s why he is considering going back home to Zimbabwe when the season ends. He has been toying with an idea of following his other love which is music and he could take it up.”
The 35 year-old has been at Kaizer Chiefs since 2011 and was a key member of the side that won two league titles under Stuart Baxter.- Chronicle

By A Correspondent- High Court judge Justice Erica Ndewere said she was being persecuted for defying “unlawful” orders from Chief Justice Luke Malaba.
NewsDay reports that Justice Ndewere revealed this on the 30th of March during the sitting of retired judge Justice Simbi Mubako-led tribunal, which was set up to investigate her alleged misconduct and determine whether she was still fit to sit on the bench.
She said she was being victimised as she was singled out of 17 judges with outstanding judgments, although she had no outstanding judgments on the day she was charged and suspended.
he Constitution provides that a judge may be removed from office for inability to perform the functions of his or her office, due to mental or physical incapacity, or gross incompetence, or gross misconduct.
Otherwise, judges serve until retirement or resignation.
“I completed all my work within the three-month period as required and did not have 28 outstanding reviews and six reserved judgments on May 18, 2020 as alleged. The tribunal must provide the evidence in the form of names and case numbers,” Justice Ndewere said in her defence before the tribunal.
“I was singled out for victimisation out of a list of 17 judges with outstanding judgments, even though I had no outstanding judgments on the date I was charged and suspended.”
Charges against Justice Ndewere included failure to competently perform her duties and failure to follow due process on a number of cases.
“That contrary to your duties and professional calling as a judge, you incompetently performed your duties when on several occasions and despite several requests and warnings from your superiors you failed to deliver reserved judgments within the prescribed 90 days in breach of Judicial Code of Ethics Regulations Statutory Instrument 107/2012 in particular section 19(1) thereof, thereby failing to meet the expected judicial standards of a judge in the following cases as indicated on the attached table,” the charge sheet read.
Justice Mubako told the tribunal that Justice ministry secretary Virginia Mabhiza was asked to consider the request from Justice Ndewera’s lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa to withdraw from the secretariat of the tribunal.
The embattled judge claims she was targeted after she refused to take orders to deny bail to former Public Service minister Priscah Mupfumira and MDC Alliance vice-chairperson Job Sikhala.

The South African Football Association (SAFA) has fired national team coach Molefi Ntseki following a disastrous Afcon qualifying campaign..
The news was confirmed by SAFA CEO Tebogo Motlanthe at a press conference on Wednesday.
Ntseki’s sacking comes a day after a meeting with the football board where he refused to resign.
The gaffer was asked to step down after failing to meet his mandate of qualifying to the 2021 Afcon tournament. The team lost 2-0 to Sudan on the final matchday and surrendered the qualifying spot to the North-Central African country.
SAFA’s National Executive Committee (NEC) then moved to terminate his contract.
“The National Executive Committee have resolved to part ways with the coach, it is just administrative things that are outstanding,” Motlanthe said at the presser.
“We are here to convene the message of the NEC. They have mandated us to apologise to the nation on their behalf for the team’s failure to qualify for the Afcon.
“Unfortunately we did not qualify and we know it has emotionally affected the country.”
Ntseki, who was appointed in 2019, is leaving the national team together with his assistants.
A new techinical team is expected to be announced before the start of the World Cup Qualifiers in June.

Zambia national team coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojević thinks he could have taken Zambia to the 2021 Afcon if he had started the qualifying campaign with the team.
The Serbian was appointed the coach of Chipolopolo in March last year after the side had played two games in the Afcon qualifiers.
The team was on the bottom of the group with no points and he managed to win two matches plus a draw in the remaining rounds of the campaign.
His latest victory came in Harare on Monday, beating Zimbabwe 2-0 in the final round of the qualifiers.
However, Zambia failed to book a place at next year’s tournament as they finished a point behind the Warriors who took the final qualifying spot in the pool.
Group winners Algeria amassed fourteen points and secured their qualification on match-day four.
Posting on Social Media after the victory in Harare, Micho said: “Proudly coached a great football nation Zambia Chipolopolo team.
“I took the job while on zero points from two matches. In the rescue mission of four matches, we earned seven deserved points. (I am) firmly convinced that if I was (in charge) from the start of the AFCON qualifiers campaign, we could have easily qualified.”- Soccer 24 Zimbabwe

Are You Eating Too Much Sugar?

Effects Of Added Sugars
12 Potential Signs You’re Eating Too Much Sugar
Upset stomach, irritability, and sluggishness are all possible warnings you’re overdoing it on the sweet stuff.

stacked sugar cubes Overdoing it on sugar can show up in surprising ways throughout your body.Yaroslav Danylchenko/Stocksy Sugar gets a bad rap, but the truth is that it’s a vital source of energy and essential to our survival. Of course, not all sugars are the same. Fructose found in fruits and vegetables and lactose in dairy-rich foods are natural sugars we don’t have to be as concerned about because these foods also have fiber and calcium, for example. Added sugars, however, which are often found in processed foods, are those we could do without, and most of us consume too much of them.
According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020–2025, the average American consumes 270 calories of added sugars, or 17 teaspoons, each day.
Added sugars are anything that’s added to food to make it taste sweet, and this includes natural sugars like honey and maple syrup. “Even though they may be more wholesome than table sugar, it’s still contributing more calories but not much in the way of vitamins and minerals,” says Jessica Cording, RD, a health coach in New York City and author of The Little Book of Game Changers.
Sugar is sneaky and can hide under 61 different names, according to the University of California in San Francisco. Despite your best efforts to make healthy food choices, you could be getting more sugar than you bargained for.
Negative Effects of Sugar on the Body
Per Harvard Health Publishing, when we eat sugar, most of it gets broken down and absorbed in the small intestine.
Specialized enzymes attack larger molecules and convert them into three simpler sugars: glucose, galactose, and fructose. The liver and muscles store some of the glucose as glycogen, a molecule that can be turned back into glucose when your body needs it.
When glucose enters the bloodstream, however, levels of blood glucose rise. In response, the pancreas secretes insulin to help glucose get where it needs to go in your body.
If you’re consuming large amounts of added sugar, the cells can become resistant to insulin over time — a risk factor for systemic inflammation, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic conditions.
According to a study published in November 2016 in the journal Nutrients, consuming too much added sugar has also been linked to weight gain and obesity, risk factors for heart disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and cancer.

On March 27, 2021, President Emmerson Mnangagwa, while addressing the Zanu PF Central Committee meeting urged war veterans to rally behind the ruling party, Zanu PF and campaign for the party in the upcoming 2023 elections.
The President’s call to the war veterans raises fears of a violent election especially given the fact that war veterans aligned to the ruling party have a well known record and history of violence against opposition supporters.
War veterans are on record pledging to go to war should Zanu PF lose in elections and this has largely been the basis of their violence and terror against opposition supporters.
During the bloody 2008 election re-run, war veterans aligned to Zanu PF were among the perpetrators of the violence that led to the death of more than 200 opposition supporters.
It is in light of this background that Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition implores the war veterans to ensure peace and tolerance in their involvement in the country’s political processes.
The huge sense of entitlement on the part of the war veterans (which has also been their basis for political violence) is unacceptable in a democratic society.
As Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition, we hope the President’s call for war veterans to mobilise and campaign for Zanu PF does not translate into reactivation of the ruling party’s violence machinery.
On another note, Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition remains deeply concerned over the continued arbitrary arrests and incarceration of civic society and opposition activists as part of efforts by the ruling party to silence dissent.
The continued arrests, which have been condemned by some sections of the international community, have put a huge dent on the country’s image and consequently, continue to work against efforts at re-engaging the international community.
As Crisis Coalition, we reiterate that respect for democratic principles and upholding citizens’ fundamental rights enshrined in the constitution should form the basis for meaningful re-engagement with the international community.

PALMA, Mozambique, March 31, 2021/ — The Mozambican Oil and Gas Chamber condemns the terrorist attacks in Palma on the 25th of March in the strongest possible terms and expresses its heartfelt condolences to all the victims of the attacks. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the bereaved, injured and displaced.
Terrorism is a scourge and it must never be let to prevail. The Chamber will therefore like to express its full support to the Mozambique Armed Defense Forces under the leadership of H.E. President Filipe Nyusi who responded swiftly to contain the attacks to save lives and property. We are confident, that the government will eventually secure a lasting solution to the problems in Cabo Delgado and provide a conducive environment for the realization of multi-billion-dollar investments in Mozambique.
“We are committed to working with the government, energy companies and civil society to ensure that such acts were not allowed to disrupt stability of Mozambique and the execution of important energy projects that are so important to our country’s economic growth and the advancement of global prosperity”. Said Florival Mucave, CEO of the Mozambican Oil & Gas Chamber.
The three-year insurgency in Cabo Delgado province has to date killed more than 2,600 people and displaced an estimated 670,000, according to the UN. These attacks are especially directed at disrupting investment in oil and gas projects in Mozambique and terrorizing the local population. The attack on Palma was specifically aimed at undermining the $23bn game changing Mozambique LNG project led by Total.
As the largest Foreign Direct Investment on the African continent, the Mozambique LNG project positions Mozambique to become the third largest gas exporter globally by 2045. It is expected to double Mozambique’s GDP by 2035, underscoring the transformational impact of this project on the country, it’s citizens and neighboring states. It will fundamentally recast the fortunes of Mozambique from one of the poorest countries in the world to possibly a middle-income country.
We call on the international community to support the government of Mozambique in its efforts to deal with terrorism in Cabo Delgado. Terrorism is a global problem and Mozambique must therefore not be left to deal with it alone.
The chamber continues to strongly advocate for the gas developments and associated projects in Mozambique as a key driver of economic opportunity. Economic development is the only way to promote sustainable development, eradicate poverty, reduce unemployment amongst Mozambique’s youthful population and build competent local capacity in Mozambique.
The Mozambican oil and gas chamber pledges to work closely with the Mozambican Government, foreign investors and local stakeholders to build capacity amongst local entrepreneurs and position them to take the numerous opportunities that Mozambique offers. We will work tirelessly to fulfil the expectations of millions of Mozambicans by ensuring the delivery of Mozambique LNG’s first gas by 2024.

By Farai D Give | Senator Douglas Mwonzora and his ZANU PF surrogate party have been rejected by a leading member of parliament.
Speaking in discussion during the month, the fiery Norton MP Temba Mliswa described Mwonzora as the destruction of ZANU PF.
He said ZANU PF has been made ineffective as a result of destroying the MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa.
Mwonzora who deserted Chamisa’s party, last year May, violently took over property belonging to the MDC Alliance and has begun making claims that he is the legitimate MDC Alliance leader. All through his adventures, he is receiving support from Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa who makes false claims that he win the 2018 elections when even the state broadcaster, ZBC, filmed his office announcing that the military will be deployed to violently change the election results.
Cry the beloved country. Eng. Mutisi sorry for i personally don’t know you or your academic qualifications and social behaviour but certainly your suggested solution regarding the chaos motorists endure at our tollgates leaves a lot of questions on your reasoning capacity.
Surely, is levying taxes on fuel the best solution Eng. Mutisi? Assuming you are the minister of transport how will you address the issue of cars that dont fuel up in Zimbabwe and fuel bought for non vehicular use?
Yes, revenue collection will go up because you will be robbing a lot of people who don’t even use those highways. In short your solution doesn’t address the problem at all but exposes your reasoning limitations, typical of Zimbabwean ministers who instead of bettering the lives of the povo they pile more burden unto them.
Eng. Mutisi please think like an Engineer not some greedy capitalist. Very soon you will tell villagers complaining about lack of bridges to buy planes. Address the issues of toll gate efficiency, supervision, cheating, highway limitations vis-a-vis traffic volumes.
A 15-year-old boy in Zimbabwe escaped from police custody, broke into an armoury and stole two pistols. The teenager had been arrested in Gweru for alleged unlawful entry and theft, and was being held at a police station in the city.

By A Correspondent- One of the man accused of defrauding Bindura residents of over US$26k and who is out on bail has torched a social media storm after a video where he is bragging about his release started circulating on social media.
In the above video, the accused man is recorded saying only rape and murder are punishable offences while those who commit other offences including fraud go unpunished because everyone including members of the judiciary love stealing.
The development comes after the man was arrested last week together with two other fraudsters who perpetrated a series of cons on Bindura residents and netted US$26,100.
The three are alleged to have defrauded people by creating fake proof of payment messages and sending them to people who would then give them United States Dollars thinking that they had received RTGS,
The three fraudsters have been identified as Collen Chairuka (36), Tatenda Brenda Pangidzwa (34) and Malvern Chiyangwa (35). The trio came to the attention of the police after they defrauded various people of US$26,100 in just five days.
Following numerous complaints against the fraudsters, the police in Bindura decided to set a trap. Undercover police officers arrested the suspects when they attempted to defraud them using the same modus operandi.
In a statement, police national spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said: ARREST OF SUSPECTS FOR FRAUD AND THEFT
The Zimbabwe Republic Police confirms the arrest of Collen Chairuka (36), Tatenda Brenda Pangidzwa (34) and Malven Chiyangwa (35) in connection with cases of fraud which occurred in and around Bindura from 10 February 2021 to 14 February 2021.

By A Correspondent- Three Harare police officers have been implicated in a spate of robberies which occurred in Nyanga where they allegedly robbed and assaulted several people involved in timber business.
An internal police memorandum dated March 27 addressed to Officer Commanding Manicaland province, Commissioner Wiklef Makamache, identified the police officers as Constable Tatenda Ndlovu, Constable Listen Sibanda stationed at ZRP Harare Central Business Centre Traffic and Constable Tariro Rangarirai of Harare Central Police Station.
It further stated that the robberies occurred at Claremont Orchards in Nyanga and involved the three police officers, and three other accomplices, Forget Madzitire and Nhamo Nyamutowa, who are into the business of selling timber, and Never Nyarumba who is unemployed.
Allegations are that the six were targeting people in the timber business.
“The background of the matter is that complainant one, three and four and accused number four were all in partnership with a timber business as from the first week of March. On March 23, the four proceeded to Harare with processed timber for sale,” the memo read.
“On March 26 after selling their timber and sharing proceeds, complainants one and three returned to Nyanga, leaving the four accused in Harare.

By A Correspondent- Teachers at various schools countrywide are reportedly reporting for duty only to mark the pupils’ attendance registers, but are not conducting lessons as they continue piling pressure for better working conditions.
Teachers’ unions yesterday told NewsDay that the educators had resolved to sit-in after government refused to restore their salaries to the pre-October 2018 levels when they earned between US$520 and US$550.
Amalgamated Rural Teachers’ Union of Zimbabwe president Obert Masaraure confirmed the alleged sit-in.
“We don’t want to pre-empt anything. This is what we said before the schools opened that the employer has to capacitate teachers so that they go back to work. However, the employer is reluctant to solve our problem and is treating individuals with coercion and intimidation. What is coming up is that teachers have decided to just log in and not work until they are capacitated,” he said.
Progressive Teachers’ Union of Zimbabwe secretary-general Raymond said: “The truth of the matter is that teachers are incapacitated. I urge the government to look into their plight and capacitate them so that they perform their duties in class.”
But Primary and Secondary Education ministry spokesperson Taungana Ndoro dismissed the claim.
“Teachers are engaged and are teaching in our schools. Learning is ongoing, we can’t complain. We are grateful for their service and commitment while their grievances are being looked into,” Ndoro said.
He added that government was confident that this time around they will not experience a surge in COVID-19 cases.
“We have confidence in the vaccinations and that the set standards of procedures would ensure that the pandemic remains at a minimum in schools,” Ndoro said during vaccination of Harare-based teachers at Wilkins Hospital.
He said the vaccination of teachers would nip the coronavirus in the bud, while deter-ring the onset of a third wave of COVID-19.
“We are confident that we will not have a surge in cases of COVID-19 in our schools this time because of the vaccinations as well as the protocols in place.”
Last term, there was chaos in schools as many students tested positive to COVID-19 prompting some of the schools to close early for fear of an escalation of the crisis. Last week, seven pupils at Prince Edward High School in Harare tested positive to the virus.-newsday

“The ZRP applauds all Zimbabweans for the co-operation & concern over the conduct of the touts. The public is urged to report all incidents of harassment by touts taking note of the location, date, time & the name of the bus company involved. #notouting& harassment of women,” the police said.
Speaking on the incident last week, Women Affairs minister Dr Sithembiso Nyoni said public spaces must be safe for all while pushing for the removal of touts from all bus termini.
“Eventually, we want to witness the removal of touts from all bus termini. Public spaces must be safe for all and may it be known that the law enforcing agents shall not deal with this lightly,” she said.
By A Correspondent- Health experts yesterday said the public should be wary of other killer diseases that might affect them at a time when most resources are being directed towards fighting the COVID-19 pandemic which has killed more than 1 500 people in the country.
Medical and Dental Private Practitioners of Zimbabwe Association president Johannes Marisa said people were now concentrating on COVID-19 only and forgetting other diseases that are a threat to human life such as malaria, typhoid, diarrhoea, diabetes and others.
He said there were high chances of disasters that might be caused by malaria and other diseases.
“If we continue to be obsessed with COVID-19 alone, we might be caught unawares because we are witnessing a lot of cases of malaria and typhoid and these also present almost the same symptoms as COVID-19. Let’s open our eyes,” Marisa said.
“Let us not also forget the dangers of hypertension and it’s one disease that’s taking a lot of people and we do not want to attribute all deaths to COVID-19,” he said.
Last year, malaria cases were on the increase, with 300 to 400 deaths recorded in Zimbabwe. Globally, it is estimated that 410 000 people lost their lives, with 85% of the cases being in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Globally, about 100 000 people succumb to typhoid while an estimated eight million people lose their lives to hypertension per year.
“That number per year on a global scale points to a calamity. We are also experiencing large numbers of malaria without even the history of travelling outside the country, and so people should be very careful,” Marisa said.
Zimbabwe Association of Doctors for Human Rights secretary Norman Matara said there was need for the public to continue protecting themselves against killer diseases that may not be infectious, but chronic in nature.
“We should not forget about the other diseases that are killing people because they are afraid to go to the hospital for fear of contracting COVID-19. People have to continue to go for regular check-ups, especially for tuberculosis, continue screening processes for malaria and hypertension. Preventive measures should also be taken lest we forget that there were other diseases that came way before COVID-19,” Matara said.
Zimbabwe Senior Hospital Doctors Association president Shingai Nyaguse said: “As much as we need COVID-19 responses, there is a need for intervention in other areas as well such as tuberculosis, cancer and hypertension that haven’t gone away.-Newsday
By A Correspondent- Operations at the Beitbridge Border Post were disrupted yesterday when police and army swooped on 31 shipping agents, accusing them of being undesired elements in a protected area.
Shipping agents are regarded by law as essential service providers due to their handling of haulage vehicles with imported and exported goods.
Among the 31 shipping agents held were two haulage truck drivers.
National police spokesman Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said he was still verifying the issue with the officers on the ground.
“I am still verifying about the issue with troops on the ground,” Nyathi said.
The arrest resulted in trucks meant to depart from the border post being grounded and blocking the on-going construction work.
Chairperson of the Transporters Association in Beitbridge, Osbert Shumba said the arrests were unlawful, adding that they disrupted flow of traffic, leading to congestion.
“Government has recognised us as essential services. We will not pay fines. We are ready to go to court,” Shumba said.
Early this year, government enacted a law recognising clearing agents and allied businesses as essential service providers.
“We showed them identity cards, but they said they cannot read,” one shipping agent told NewsDay.

By A Correspondent- As his ex girlfriend. Susan Mutami’s physical whereabouts remained a mystery 7 months later, Norton legislator Temba Mliswa (independent) yesterday applied for referral of his case where he is charged of breaching COVID-19 regulations to the Constitutional Court (ConCourt).
Mliswa was last month accused of violating COVID-19 regulations when he held a Press conference at his Borrowdale residence last month.
He now wants the ConCourt to make a ruling on whether his arrest was lawful since the police stormed his house without a warrant of arrest.
Before the ConCourt application, Mliswa had challenged his arrest and detention which was dismissed by Harare magistrate Tafadzwa Miti, who ruled that his residence was not a public place as stipulated by COVID-19 regulations.
Mliswa had argued that he was arrested for addressing journalists who are classified as essential service workers.
The State, however, argued that he was not conducting Parliament business, resulting in his application being dismissed by Miti.
Mliswa, in the application, raised questions, including why he was the only person who was arrested at the Press conference.
“Further take notice that the following are the questions whose referral applicant seeks: Whether the singling out for arrest and prosecution of the applicant from among 23 persons allegedly gathered at the applicant’s residence on the day in question amounts to discrimination and offends against section 56(1) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe,” part of his application read.- Newsday/Additional reporting
By A Correspondent- A Nkayi traditional leader Chief Dakamela has been taken to the magistrates court by one of his subjects after he ordered that he be caned in public for assault.
Tumelo Maphala was ordered to perform community service, receive 11 strokes and pay three goats as punishment for assaulting a fellow villager, Phathisani Ncube, the chiefs’ nephew.
The assault took place at Dakamela shopping centre in January this year.
Following the incident, Maphala was summoned to the chief ‘s court on February 4 where he was charged with assault.
“I was convicted of the criminal charges and sentenced to pay three goats and further undergo three strokes with a sjambok. The corporal punishment was immediately carried out on me in my nude state,” Maphala said in his founding affidavit.
Maphala was re-summoned to Chief Dakamela’s court on February 9 for the same offence, tried, convicted and sentenced to pay an additional goat and eight strokes with a sjambok plus 10 hours community service performed at the chief ‘s homestead.
“Of the total sentence from the two trials involving one crime, I have since paid three goats but received all the eleven strokes with a sjambok. The corporal punishment was administered in public before all, in my nude state. I have also performed the community service,” he said.
After receiving advice that the chief had no jurisdiction to preside over criminal matters, Maphala immediately engaged Abammeli Human Rights Lawyers and took the matter to the magistrates’ court challenging the traditional court’s ruling.
Chief Dakamela and one Ncube were cited as respondents.
ADDITIONAL MEASURES AGAINST THE SPREAD OF COVID-19 DISEASE DURING EASTER HOLIDAYS Zimbabweans will be celebrating Easter Holidays from this Friday, rd April 2021. This Christian Commemoration ends on 5′ April when our Nation celebrates Easter Monday. In keeping with Christian practices, Zimbabweans flock to different places of worships, with some visiting holy shrines. Still others may travel beyond our borders for the same purpose. The risk of disease transmission during the period is thus predictably high. To safeguard our Nation, we need to take some additional measures to avoid a 3′ wave of the pandemic which is already attacking some Nations of the World. For the duration of the Easter Holidays:
1. Travellers coming into the country from neighbouring States must undergo valid Covid-19 PCR tests not more than 48 hours from time of their departure for Zimbabwe. Travellers without aforesaid valid test results clearing them for safe travel will be quarantined for 10 days at designated hotels, and at their own cost.
2. School learners who are in boarding schools will not be permitted to travel back home. Equally, no parents will travel to concerned schools for purposes of visits.
Bars and night clubs will remain closed during the Easter Holidays.
All gatherings, including church services, funerals and weddings will remain limited to not more than 50 people.
Wearing of masks and social distancing will be strictly adhered to and enforced.
People from different localities are encouraged to come forward to designated centres for vaccination so that our Nation builds towards herd immunity.
The general public is encouraged to defer unnecessary travel outside localities of residence.
As already stated, coming into Zimbabwe without a valid PCR negative certificate will require quarantining in a hotel for 10 days at own cost. Those with valid PCR negative certificates will self-quarantine at home or in a hotel for 10 days from day of arrival into the country.
Tourists who volunteer to be vaccinated can access vaccination services available in our country at their own cost.

The Hell Commander’s Lamborghini which burst into flames last night
By A Correspondent | Balls of fire were the scenes when the late socialite, Ginimbi’s former manager Shaleen Nullens, Ms Shally’s boyfriend was involved in an accident Sunday morning.
Ms. Shally confirmed that her boyfriend, the businessman Trevor ‘Hell Commander’ Mbizvo was involved in “a terrible accident” last night while driving a Lamborghini Huracan.
One person was reported dead at the scene. Mbizvo’s friend Eddy whose handle is @blacklistedd_ the Pilot had been in the Lamborghini traveling with the man.
Eddy @blacklistedd_ the Pilot one of hell commander’s friend who was also in that Lamborghini
Eddy @blacklistedd_ the Pilot one of hell commander’s friend who was also in that Lamborghini
Ms Shally who recently received a Range Rover from Mbizvo as an apology after he cheated on her, posted on her portal saying, “It’s been a walk filled with challenges, the news is true my love @the_hell_commander had a terrible accident last night when he was driving the Lamborghini hurricane, one very precious life was lost and the hell commander is in hospital suffering from a few injuries.”
She also added saying: “A lot has been happening lately but we would appreciate your support and also allow us to mourn our close friend we lost.
“Please keep us in your prayers.”
Ms Shally has been living in South Africa since her client, Ginimbi’s death at the end of 2020. It was at that time speculated that she had been kicked out of the Domboshava mansion by Ginimbi’s ex-wife Zodwa Mkandla.
Shally’s response was:
“I was living with Genius not because I was homeless. When Genius was buried, I flew back to South Africa the next day because I can’t live in that house without him, every corner of that house holds precious memories.”

By James Gwati-The public has raised concern over the emergency of robbers and thieves who are targeting Western Union money transfer outlets where they are robbing people who would have withdrawn foreign currency coming from their diaspora based relatives.
Several victims of these robberies said that these cases were rife at Western Union Samora Machel and Avondale outlets.
These thieves are reported to be following unsuspecting public who would have withdrawn money from Western Union and rob them in car parking bays.

POLICE are hunting for a motorist who killed two pedestrians in a hit and run incident along Lomagundi Road in Harare yesterday morning.
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed the incident saying the bodies of the two were ferried to a local hospital for post-mortem.
“The ZRP is investigating a suspected hit and run road traffic accident in which a yet to be identified motorist struck and killed Mabuko Melusi (26) and an unidentified male adult along Lomagundi Road near Greencroft Shopping Centre, Harare on March 30, between midnight and 6am. The law will certainly take its course on such errant motorists,” he said.
Meanwhile, two people died on the spot while two others were injured when a motorist driving a Toyota Allion rammed into a Honda CRV which was parked in Kuwadzana on Sunday.
“The ZRP urges drivers to be responsible on the roads always.

By James Gwati-Former MDC spokesperson and Zanu PF prodigal son, Obert Gutu, has been accused of participating in the Gukurahundi atrocities.
The accusations were levelled against the Harare lawyer who recently defected to Zanu PF by Professor Jonathan Moyo using his Twitter account.
Moyo said Gutu was invited by President Emmerson Mnangagwa to join Zanu PF so that he (Mnangagwa) honours him for aiding the 1980s Gukurahindi massacres.
Take it easy Cde Gutu. This is important. You want to be an @NPRCZim Commissioner. Since the @NPRCZim has about three or so years left in its prescribed 10-year life span, the public has a right to know who you really are. So, were you not a prosecutor in the gukurahundi years?
CHURCHES will not hold conferences usually held during the Easter period but will resort to virtual meetings with only a limited number of congregants gathering on Sunday.
Church leaders yesterday said Zimbabweans should not lose hope even in the face of Covid-19 challenges as the Easter holiday starts on Friday.
They said as opposed to mass gatherings and conferences, they will be holding virtual Easter gatherings with a limited number of congregants.
The church leaders said the church will observe Covid-19 regulations to prevent the spread of infections.
They said Easter is commemorated in remembrance of Jesus’ life hence Christians and citizens alike should remain steadfast as every hardship they are facing will come to an end.
Roman Catholic Church (Archdiocese of Bulawayo) Archbishop Alex Thomas said the church is already in the mood for Easter commemorations after marking Palm Sunday.
He said due to Covid-19, the church will not hold mass gatherings.
“We are restricting our numbers to 50 people as we follow the Covid-19 protocols laid down by Government. So, we have asked our people to come in small groups. This year’s Easter comes in the background of Covid-19 challenges. What we need is new hope and trust in the Lord so that we can overcome the pandemic and return to normal life,” he said.
“The resurrection of Jesus is about new life so we want to have a new life after a year of struggle. The past year has been challenging as people have been constrained on worshiping and they have been missing the fellowship. It has also been hard for the church financially.
Our life is about hope, Jesus died and he rose again. He conquered death so we also have to conquer every challenge we have. It can be illnesses; it can be financial challenges and social problems; we have to conquer it with the power of God and move forward.”
Harvest House International Church Bishop Collins Nyathi said they will hold a physical conference with limited numbers of people. Bishop Nyathi said since the outbreak of Covid-19, the church has been preaching the message of hope.
“The way forward for us is virtual, that is how we are going to conduct our sermons. But on Sunday that is when we are going to have physical attendance but also limiting our numbers to 50 people,” said Bishop Nyathi.
“For over a year, our message has been to encourage people that it shall come to pass. And this also shall come to pass. However, Easter is a special day. We remember the cross and the blood. We don’t want to dilute Easter because it speaks of the cross and the blood of Jesus.
The message to Zimbabweans is that yes, we are in a calamity and calamities come and go. We know it’s difficult but we must hold strong as even this shall come to pass.”- Chronicle
WILLARD Katsande could be headed back to where his South African journey began in June.
Phakathi has heard that the Amakhosi midfielder is on the wanted list at Stellenbosch who are closely monitoring his situation at Naturena.
Katsande is said to be on the list of players who will not be retained at Amakhosi at the end of the season.
He started his career at Ajax Cape Town before he was lured to Gauteng.
But a source has revealed that he might not take the Stellies offer because he has lost his love for the game after what’s he gone through at Chiefs in his last days.
“His spirit is broken, he didn’t know that his last days at Naturena would be this bad. He hoped he would be given a proper send off, and not be kicked to the curb like it is happening,” said a source.
“That’s why he is considering going back home to Zimbabwe when the season ends. He has been toying with an idea of following his other love which is music and he could take it up.”
The 35 year-old has been at Kaizer Chiefs since 2011 and was a key member of the side that won two league titles under Stuart Baxter.- Chronicle

Tinashe Sambiri|The MDC Alliance veterans have dismissed the demotion of Victor Matemadanda as a mere face-saving stunt -as the clueless Zanu PF regime desperately seeks to hoodwink citizens before the 2023 polls.
In a statement MDC Veteran Activists( VAA) chairperson, Dr Felix Magalela Mafa Sibanda said Matemadanda was sacrificed for disclosing Zanu PF shenanigans in public.
Below is part of Dr Felix Magalela Mafa Sibanda’s statement:
The demotion of ZANU PF stalwart and subsequent dismissal of Victor Matemadanda as the ZANU PF Political Commissar is a publicity stunt and face-saving Stunt by ZANU PF for his Sunday exposé in Mashonaland East.
Matemadanda exposed Zanu PF’s deliberate and well coordinated plot to decimate the MDC Alliance in a brazen attempt to further subvert the people’s will and create a one party state.
Matemadanda as the Party’s Political Commissar is well versed on his party’s covert and overt plans to decimate their only threat and genuine opposition hence his remarks at the Mashonaland East PCC meeting.
We view Matemadanda’s remarks as not only confirming ZANU PF’s harsh treatment of real opposition parties who demand for checks and balances from it but also as a violation of the national Constitution and a threat to democracy.
Matemadanda overwhelmed with excitement of finally getting a chance to destroy ZANU PF’s rival exposed ZANU PF’s strategy as 2023 beckons.
It is not the first time that a top ZANU PF official has blattered out shocking Revelations of a plot to destroy the MDC Alliance;the ZANU PF President’s “shamhu ino munyu” mantra was crafted in that manner.The g*rating rhumba musician and former Deputy Minister of Information Energy Mutodi was also “demoted” for the same shenanigans.
Our intelligence sources have revealed that ZANU has not demoted him but is set to reassign Matemadanda as a fire fighting measure.
It is not surprising when ZANU PF paraded a few touts they allegedly claimed where MDC Alliance members who had defected.It is so desperate to the extent of printing fake MDC Alliance cards and T-shirts to paint a narrative of a fizzling party as claimed by Matemadanda.
As peaceful citizens and veterans of the poor People’s struggle we view the alleged Dismissal, demotion,Reassignment or whatever term they would like to use as cosmetic,fire fighting and a publicity stunt to mislead the local and international community to paint a narrative of a Reformist ZANU PF yet it is championing the demise of a legitimate opposition party and The Government in waiting.
We therefore condemn the brazen attempt to create a one-party state by the Regime by meddling in opposition politics and the shutting out of Democratic space and the selective application of the law with the utmost contempt it deserves.
Tinashe Sambiri|The MDC Alliance has urged the police to arrest Mrs Auxillia Mnangagwa for violating lockdown regulations.
Mrs Mnangagwa is travelling around the conducting what she calls traditional cooking workshops.
Last week, Mrs Mnangagwa was embarrassed by angry students at Masvingo Polytechnic.
In a statement, the MDC Alliance denounced “selective application of the law” in the country:
29 March 2021
By Mandava Blessing
Provincial Spokesperson
The Zvimba North MDC Alliance trio of Provincial Deputy Secretary leader Chinanzvavana, Zvimba North Deputy Chairperson Ldr Daniel Hove and Organising Secretary Ldr Aiden Wairesi who were arrested on Saturday in Raffingora in Zvimba North after resisting an attempt by plain clothes to barge uninvited into the internal Party Building Directorate meeting.
The alert MDC Alliance members resisted this unlawful act resulting in a scuffle where some of our members were injured and the arrest of the 3.
The 3 were granted $10000 bail, ordered to stay at their given addresses,not to interfere with state witnesses and to report every Monday and Friday between 0600hrs and 1800hrs.
The matter has been remanded to 14 April 2021 for routine remand.
It is sad to note that the “law” chooses to turn a blind eye when ZANU PF convene meetings attended by thousands of people but suddenly become alive when the MDC Alliance convenes internal Executive meetings.
Amai Mnangagwa is travelling the length and breadth of this nation with a huge entourage conducting cooking workshops at a time the nation is dithering on the brink of collapse.
She has been to Chinhoyi,Gweru,Kwekwe and Masvingo where it is alleged that hungry and angry students chased her away and riot police allegedly came to her rescue.We haven’t even heard when she will be arrested for violating the same COVID-19 lockdown regulations.
It will be a great day for democracy when she is also arrested for violating the same.
As poor peace loving , patriotic Zimbabweans we shall not be deterred by a rich,selfish and gluttonic few from converging for change. We shall not continue to wallow in poverty while a few suppress us for their own selfish gains.
We cannot let the nation sink on our watch.We shall continue to converge as citizens until a solution to our crisis as a nation is found.
The Regime should stop acting like an Ian Douglas Smith minion.
Brush regularly but not aggressively. Brush teeth at least twice a day in small circular motions for about 2 to 3minutes. Prevent back and fourth motions. Use soft bristles toothbrush and change your toothbrush every 3months or whenever ends look frayed whichever comes first.
Use fluoride.Its a mineral found in toothpaste that prevents cavities. Lack of fluoride causes tooth decay.
Floss once a day. Flossing removes plaque and bacteria from between the teeth where the toothbrush is unable to reach. It can also prevent bad breathe.
See a dentist regularly. One should visit the dentist at least twice a year (every 6months) or if there are any changes in the mouth. A dental visit might also depend on health history, age and overall dental health.
Do not smoke. Smoking harm the body’s immune system making it difficult for the body to heal tissues. Smoking itself is a risk factor for gum disease and also cause bad breathe and yellowish teeth.
Consider a mouthwash. Get advise from a dentist on which mouthwash to use. However chlorhexidine containing mouthwash are advised as it has antibacterial effects.
Limit sugary foods and starches. These promote bacterial growth causing cavities. Fibre rich fruits and vegetables are advised.

Multi-award-winning Zim Hip Hop artist, Ti Gonzi, born Tinashe Gonzara, has been dragged to court after he reportedly assaulted his former wife.
The rapper was not asked to plead when he appeared in court over the weekend.
His estranged wife Esther Tendere took to the witness stand and told the court that she wanted to withdraw the matter before plea.
Tendere said her former husband is the one who is providing for the upkeep of their four-year-old son and has a head injury that needs constant check-ups and he has since apologised.
Police records indicate the scuffle took place at Avondale Shops on 25 March when the two were due to discuss the welfare of their child.
Ti Gonzi allegedly asked why his wife was always insulting him over the phone, and then assaulted her with clenched fists on her face.
The accused allegedly threw the pliers he was holding, hitting her right thigh and injuring her in the process.
Tendere was rescued by her friend, Natalie Musins and a well-wisher.- H-Metro

By A Correspondent- The government has directed that boarding students will not be allowed to travel to their homes during the upcoming Easter holidays.
The same restrictions apply to students who had travelled to urban or rural areas but are not boarders.
Schools reopened on 15 March for examination and classes and on 22 March for the rest of the grades and this resulted in the shortened school calendar.
Classes will take a break during the Easter holiday which starts on Friday, 2 April 2021 (Good Friday) and resume next week.
The travel restrictions are meant to curb the spread of the coronavirus in line with WHO guidelines.
Addressing a post-cabinet media briefing this Tuesday, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa said:
Cabinet further agreed that boarding school students should not travel to their homes for the Easter holidays as part of the strategy to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
The learners should stay at their respective schools.
Minister Mutsvangwa also said President Emmerson Mnangagwa will make the necessary pronouncements to guide the nation during the Easter and Independence holidays
ADDITIONAL MEASURES AGAINST THE SPREAD OF COVID-19 DISEASE DURING EASTER HOLIDAYS Zimbabweans will be celebrating Easter Holidays from this Friday, rd April 2021. This Christian Commemoration ends on 5′ April when our Nation celebrates Easter Monday. In keeping with Christian practices, Zimbabweans flock to different places of worships, with some visiting holy shrines. Still others may travel beyond our borders for the same purpose. The risk of disease transmission during the period is thus predictably high. To safeguard our Nation, we need to take some additional measures to avoid a 3′ wave of the pandemic which is already attacking some Nations of the World. For the duration of the Easter Holidays:
1. Travellers coming into the country from neighbouring States must undergo valid Covid-19 PCR tests not more than 48 hours from time of their departure for Zimbabwe. Travellers without aforesaid valid test results clearing them for safe travel will be quarantined for 10 days at designated hotels, and at their own cost.
2. School learners who are in boarding schools will not be permitted to travel back home. Equally, no parents will travel to concerned schools for purposes of visits.
Bars and night clubs will remain closed during the Easter Holidays.
All gatherings, including church services, funerals and weddings will remain limited to not more than 50 people.
Wearing of masks and social distancing will be strictly adhered to and enforced.
People from different localities are encouraged to come forward to designated centres for vaccination so that our Nation builds towards herd immunity.
The general public is encouraged to defer unnecessary travel outside localities of residence.
As already stated, coming into Zimbabwe without a valid PCR negative certificate will require quarantining in a hotel for 10 days at own cost. Those with valid PCR negative certificates will self-quarantine at home or in a hotel for 10 days from day of arrival into the country.
Tourists who volunteer to be vaccinated can access vaccination services available in our country at their own cost.
In November 2017 Zapu Harare provincial secretary-general Elphacy Dube said the province was throwing its weight behind Khaya Moyo. Zapu Harare province jumped the gun and suggested SK Moyo without considering his rank within ZAPU structures.
Kembo Mohadi’s resignation has rekindled debate on SK Moyo’s eligibility for the post of Vice President.
SK Moyo came close to becoming Vice President in 2014. SK Moyo was written off the Vice Presidency Post by Zanu-PF Politburo member Cde Naison Khutshwekhaya Ndlovu who described the then ZANU PF national chairman Cde Simon Khaya Moyo as too junior to assume the post of Vice President, describing him as a “schoolboy who takes minutes”.
Cde Ndlovu, who was one of the ex-Zapu leaders who had his signature appended to the Unity Accord. Ndlovu refused to support SK Moyo and declared support for Cde Phelekezela Mphoko. Nothing has changed, SK Moyo is still too junior to be the Vice President of the Republic of Zimbabwe.
SK Moyo cannot claim to be the most senior ZAPU official he can’t compare himself to people who went into the front lines to fight for the liberation of Zimbabwe.
SK Moyo was at school, fighting from the classroom, his main contribution to the liberation struggle was praying and telling friends in class that ‘my friends are fighting, I will join them in future.
He can never be compared with a person who was on the field, someone who will tell you Zpra (the Zapu military wing) was formed in such a year and gives you the command hierarchy.
Moyo was ditched for Phelekezela Mphoko because he is too junior, he was also dropped ahead of Kembo Mohadi because he is too junior to be a vice president.
SK Moyo held no rank or title in ZPRA, neither did he hold any portfolio in ZAPU, he was merely a briefcase holder, an aide de camp. Jabulani Sibanda is by far too senior to SK Moyo and Jabulani Sibanda would deserve to be on the list if SK Moyo is being considered for the post.
Obert Mpofu joined ZPRA 6 years before SK Moyo and if we are to go by the year of joining political movements then SK Moyo is equally too junior to Obert Mpofu. While Obert Mpofu crossed the floor, he is still a ZPRA cadre, trained and groomed by ZPRA, he fought for Zimbabwe under a ZPRA banner and no technicality can take that away from Obert Mpofu.
For the record, it is a fact that the Unity Accord requires that the two Vice Presidents and Second Secretaries of Zanu-PF be appointed by the President and First Secretary of the party.
It is unfortunate that people like SK Moyo and others are canvassing for the post through Machavellian tactics.
The Unity Accord did not provide for, or foresee, a contest as part of the appointment of the party’s two Vice Presidents, not least because a contest by definition is the opposite of unity in that it tends to be divisive and invariably leads to competing centres of power which undermine unity.
President ED Mnangagwa will appoint the right candidate at the right time after consultation with the right people and platforms.
By James Gwati- Malawi nationals who are resident in the country and have Zimbabwean citizenship have received with joy the news that their country would now allow them to enjoy both Zimbabwean citizenship and that of their home country.
CFMNews, reports that the immigration authorities are almost done with regulations that are aimed at governing the implementation of the dual citizenship law.
Malawians have been eagerly waiting for the law to become operational, three (3) years after it was passed by Parliament, the online news platform said.
When implemented, the law would permit Malawians to retain their citizenship, even after acquiring foreign citizenships.
The online news network said deputy spokesperson at the Immigration Department Wellington Chiponde, acknowledged that they are currently making final touches on the regulatory framework for the implementation of the law.
Zimbabwe shall get rid of politics of coercion, MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa has said.
Chamisa was responding to a declaration by a Zanu-PF apologist that the opposition will never rule Zimbabwe.
“A New Zimbabwe shall get rid of politics of coercion. Yes, the opposition haisi kuzotonga Zimbabwe but will lead Zimbabwe to the Promised Land. We shall lead, not rule Zimbabwe. Citizens have a right to associate with any party of their choice and gold is for all Zimbabweans, not Zanu-PF alone. Zanu-PF is not Zimbabwe and Zimbabwe is not Zanu-PF,” Chamisa wrote on Twitter.
He also bemoaned the lack of political tolerance in the country.
