MASVINGO – The Great Zimbabwe University community is in mourning following the passing of Professor Timothy Kutsirayi Gondo, aged 61, a revered founding lecturer.

Professor Gondo succumbed to illness at a hospital in Bulawayo on Thursday.

The sad news was confirmed by his son, Dr. Honest Mupani, also a lecturer at Great Zimbabwe University, in an interview with The Mirror.

Professor Gondo was known for his dedicated service in the Department of Heritage and Education.

According to Dr. Mupani, Professor Gondo suffered a stroke recently, leading to his hospitalization.

Professor Gondo’s passing marks a significant loss to Great Zimbabwe University, where he played a pivotal role in shaping academic discourse and mentoring students in heritage and education studies.

His legacy as one of the university’s pioneering educators will be remembered fondly by colleagues, students, and the academic community at large.

As condolences pour in, the university and the broader academic community reflect on Professor Gondo’s contributions and mourn the loss of a distinguished scholar and mentor.

ZANU PF inter-district structures continue to express their affinity for President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his development agenda, with Matabeleland North provincial chairperson Richard Moyo saying the province is in full support of President Mnangagwa.

Masvingo and the Midlands provinces have already put in a recommendation for President Mnangagwa to remain in office and fulfil the objectives of Vision 2030.

The recommendations come after President Mnangagwa announced that he will be retiring upon completion of his second term in line with the country’s constitution.

Opposition leader Advocate Nelson Chamisa has reaffirmed his commitment to the doctrine of strategic ambiguity amidst growing scrutiny.

In a recent statement issued on Friday, Advocate Chamisa stated:

“The doctrine of strategic ambiguity serves to confound our adversaries.

The citizens are poised to govern! We stand as the victorious force united under one vision, one people, one nation. #ForEveryone #Godisinit.”

Strategic ambiguity is a communication strategy commonly employed in political discourse and negotiations.

It involves deliberate ambiguity or vagueness in statements or actions to keep adversaries unsure of one’s intentions or strategies.

Advocates argue that it provides flexibility and prevents opponents from developing effective counter-strategies.

Advocate Nelson Chamisa’s use of strategic ambiguity likely aims to maintain flexibility in political maneuvers, enabling him to adapt to changing circumstances while presenting a unified front to his supporters.

By A Correspondent| Popular Zanu PF apologist DJ Masomere was caught on video that is widely circulating on social media while telling innocent villagers that President Emmerson Mnangagwa was voted to be the chairperson of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC).

In the video, DJ Masomere who benefitted from a vehicle from controversial businessman Wicknell Chivhayo, is heard saying

“President vedu vari kugadzwa kuti SADC chair, SADC yose yakaungana ikati toisa ani leader, SADC nyika dzose dzemu SADC ndobva dzagara, vana Ramaphosa vakadai, vanani vakadai, totsvaga ani nhai veduwee, Botswana yatambura, umwe akati moda ani ruoko svuu, moda ani, ED, umwe ED, ah ED, ED saka President vedu manyama vari kugadzwa kuva SADC chair muna August, saka President vedu vanenge vave President we Zimbabwe vozoita mukuru we SADC saka ndinenge ndave MDC wa President na MC we SADC,” said Masomere to wild cheers from the congregants.

Meanwhile, Zimbabweans have reacted to this blatant abuse of villagers by DJ Masomere who deliberately misrepresented facts.

Former Zimbabwean opposition youth leader Makomborero Haruzivishe is currently studying law at Kent University in United Kingdom.

Haruzivishe who fled Zimbabwe after suffering extended imprisonment and threats to his life due to clashes with law enforcement agents in his home country has also been granted refugee status.

Samuel Townend, Chair of the Bar Council of England and Wales, shared the news on LinkedIn, highlighting the challenges Haruzivishe faced in Zimbabwe.

“A privilege to attend the 30-year commemoration of a democratic South Africa at Westminster Abbey today. I was also lucky to meet Makomborero Haruzivishe, a law student at the University of Kent, having been a law student and the National Student Union leader in Zimbabwe, persecuted, life threatened, and chased out by government forces there before successfully obtaining asylum here in the UK. Well done on your end-of-year exams Mako, and go well!” Townend posted.

In response, Haruzivishe expressed his gratitude on Facebook. “A privilege to attend the 30-year commemoration of a democratic South Africa at Westminster Abbey. I was also lucky to meet Samuel Townend KC, the Chair of the Bar Council of England and Wales.

“He is a legal giant and accomplished leader known for being ‘a great strategist and fantastic in cross-examination’ and ‘very clear, logical, and persuasive’ (Chambers UK) and also described by the Legal 500 as ‘a first-class advocate with the tenacity of a pitbull and manners of an English gentleman’.”

The former University of Zimbabwe student was sentenced to 14 months in prison for allegedly inciting public violence during a 2020 protest in Harare. The charges stemmed from his participation in a demonstration where he whistled at the busy Copa Cabana terminus, purportedly to rally protestors against the police.

He was accused of participating in public demonstrations with the intent to incite violence. He was subsequently convicted of inciting violence and resisting lawful arrest, for which he was sentenced on April 6, 2021, to 36 months in prison. At the time of his sentencing, Haruzivishe faced three other charges, all connected to his activism.

Although he appealed the sentence and was granted bail by a High Court judge in July 2021, Haruzivishe remained in prison after a magistrate ruled to revoke it until he had been tried for the other three offenses. After 10 months in detention, Haruzivishe was eventually granted bail on January 7, 2022, for the outstanding charges and released from prison the following day.

During his detention, British Embassy, commented on the arrest and detention, stating, “The British Embassy in Harare is in touch with Makomborero Haruzivishe’s lawyers as we await the outcome of his appeal. The UK regularly urges the Zimbabwean government to meet its international and domestic obligations by respecting the rule of law and the freedoms and rights enshrined in the Zimbabwean Constitution, safeguarding human rights, and committing to genuine political and economic reform for the benefit of all Zimbabweans.”

Now a Kent University Law student, Haruzivishe’s asylum status in England means the 30-year-old cannot return to Zimbabwe unless there are substantial changes to the threats that prompted his initial flight.

Under UK asylum regulations, individuals are typically prohibited from returning to their home countries while their asylum status is active, which could last for several years.

By A Correspondent| Social media was abuzz this morning as users woke up to screenshots of Instagram chats allegedly involving businessman Wicknell Chivhayo and various women. Among the women named in the chats is the wife of controversial prophet Ed Branson. Reports suggest that Chivhayo bought her a car and handed it to her through her husband, disguised as a gift.

In another set of chats, Chivhayo is seen offering comfort to musician Shashl, the daughter of former Health Minister Obadiah Moyo, following her publicized fallout with boyfriend Levels. These revelations come at a time when Chivhayo is embroiled in a serious dispute with former allies Mike Chimombe and Moses Mpofu.

Chivhayo has long enjoyed immunity from justice due to his close ties with President Emmerson Mnangagwa, despite numerous accusations of corruption. However, this latest scandal threatens to tarnish his image and could potentially isolate him from the President.

Amid the unfolding drama, Chivhayo’s ex-wife posted a cryptic message on social media, expressing a sense of vindication. The flamboyant businessman, known for his weakness for women, is a member of the Apostolic church, which has strict policies against immorality.

THE government has granted permission for schools to conduct vacation lessons for examination classes.

Norton MP Richard Tsvangirai has highlighted the incompetence of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration regarding the Morton Jeffrey Water Treatment Plant.

The central government owes the plant millions of dollars, resulting in underutilization of this vital resource.

In a statement on Wednesday, Tsvangirai said, “I visited the Morton Jeffrey water treatment plant with the Parliamentary portfolio committee on local government to understand the challenges faced by management and to appreciate the hard work of the staff in ensuring the city has access to clean water.”

He emphasized that the Ministry of Defence owes substantial funds to Morton Jeffrey, which prevents the plant from operating at full capacity.

“If the city receives the funds it is owed, it will significantly improve water provision,” Tsvangirai concluded.

In a notable and unexpected turn, Killer Zivhu, a controversial official from Zimbabwe’s ruling Zanu PF party, has publicly praised opposition leader Nelson Chamisa.

This statement comes just days after Zivhu mocked the opposition, raising eyebrows across the political landscape.

Zivhu took to X to convey his thoughts, stating, “
Change is inevitable.

No weapon can stop it! Smith doubted black rule & land reform, but Zimbabweans made it happen through strategy & sacrifice. Don’t underestimate Chamisa & his team. Progress requires more work, development & strategy, not violence, ngativakeyi Nyika yedu.”

His remarks highlight a significant acknowledgment of Chamisa and his political team, suggesting that they should not be underestimated.

The implications of Zivhu’s statement are profound. By recognizing the inevitability of change and the importance of strategy over violence, Zivhu appears to advocate for a more constructive political environment.

He emphasized that progress requires collective effort, development, and careful planning, urging for unity in improving the nation.

This shift in rhetoric may indicate a broader political strategy within Zanu PF or a personal change of heart regarding the opposition’s role in Zimbabwe’s future.

It reflects a growing acknowledgment that, regardless of party affiliation, the need for development and strategic governance is paramount for the country’s advancement.

As Zimbabwe approaches critical political moments, such statements could signal a potential softening in the often adversarial relationship between the ruling party and the opposition.

Whether this is a genuine call for collaboration or a tactical maneuver remains to be seen, but Zivhu’s comments have certainly stirred the political pot and sparked discussions on the path forward for Zimbabwe.

Tineyi Mapepa, our cluster leader for Mwenezi District, has been sentenced to 20 months in prison on trumped-up charges.

The Mwenezi Magistrate Court falsely convicted him of public violence, alleging he organized a meeting last year in preparation for the August elections

Despite his innocence, he is being persecuted for standing up for a better Zimbabwe.

The regime fears anyone who dares to stand up for what is right. His imprisonment is merely an intimidation tactic aimed at making Mwenezi a no-go zone for the opposition.

Our legal team will appeal the ruling at the High Court, as he is innocent.

We will continue fighting for a better Zimbabwe until real change comes to our country. #FreeTinayeMapepa

Former SDA pastor and self-proclaimed philosopher Joshua Maponga has taken a unique approach to reconnect with his ancestors by living in caves and mountains.

This unconventional choice has drawn attention and criticism from various quarters.

On Wednesday, Zanu PF sympathisers known as Varakashi, scoffed at Maponga’s decision, particularly highlighting the current economic situation.

“Given the state of rent these days, I don’t blame Maponga for staying in caves,” Zanu PF Varakashi remarked, underscoring the challenges many face in urban living.

Maponga’s lifestyle choice raises questions about the intersection of spirituality and practical living, especially as economic pressures mount.

Maponga himself is a known Zanu PF apologist.

In a troubling development for democratic freedoms in Zimbabwe, Tineyi Mapepa from Mwenezi has been sentenced to 20 months in prison for organizing a rally for the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) in the lead-up to the crucial elections on August 23.

This conviction raises serious concerns about the state of human rights and political expression in the country.

Mapepa’s sentencing highlights a broader pattern of repression faced by political activists and human rights defenders in Zimbabwe.

As the nation approaches pivotal elections, the crackdown on dissenting voices threatens the very foundation of democratic engagement. Genuine human rights advocates cannot afford to remain silent in the face of such injustice.

The plight of individuals like Mapepa underscores the urgent need for both local and international communities to stand in solidarity with those who risk their freedom to promote democratic values.

“The question must be asked: what message does this send to citizens who wish to engage in peaceful political discourse?

The silencing of voices advocating for change serves only to deepen disillusionment and stifle the aspirations of a population yearning for genuine democratic reform,” said Stephen Sarkozy Chuma in a statement on Tuesday.

Former Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) legislator Takalani Matibe has defected to the ruling Zanu PF party.

To formalize his transition, Matibe recently graduated from the Chitepo School of Ideology at the Dadaya National Youth Training Centre in the Midlands, where he underwent Marxist indoctrination among other teachings.

Previously affiliated with the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), Matibe served as the MP for Chegutu West from 2008 to 2013. In 2023, he ran as an independent candidate for the same seat but was unsuccessful.

Matibe cited his decision to join Zanu PF as a recognition of the party’s strength and ongoing infrastructure development under President Emmerson Mnangagwa. He stated, “Zanu PF is unconquerable, and no amount of opposition activism can dislodge it.

The opposition is effectively non-existent in Zimbabwe.”

He expressed that instead of opposing the ruling party, he believes in contributing to its developmental agenda, highlighting improvements in infrastructure that he argues were lacking during former President Robert Mugabe’s administration.

Matibe criticized former CCC leader Nelson Chamisa, accusing him of selfishness and misguiding opposition activists for personal gain.

“Chamisa sidelined many of us. I want to be relevant and play a part in building my country, which is why I joined the ruling party focused on development and inclusivity.”

Jabulani Sibanda, the national chairperson for the Zanu-PF Bulawayo province, is facing suspension and ouster following a unanimous decision by the provincial leadership, central committee, and some politburo members. The petition against Sibanda cites a range of allegations, including incompetence, corruption, disrespect, and poor performance.

If the move to remove Sibanda succeeds, he will be the second high-profile figure targeted in less than a week, following the ouster of Tendai Charuka. Sources close to the situation report that this marks the beginning of a wider purge aimed at those pushing for President Mnangagwa to remain in power beyond the 2028 constitutional term limit.

“Members of the Central Committee and Politburo have unanimously endorsed the removal of Comrade Jabulani Sibanda from his position as provincial chairperson, citing substantial evidence of activities contrary to the party’s values and ideologies,” a reliable source stated.

“The top leadership has received, supported, and endorsed the petition to suspend the chairman from serving our organization,” the source continued.

According to the petition, Sibanda is accused of incompetence, failing to unite the party, corruption (including allegations of colluding with Charuka to defraud vendors on 5th Street), disrespect, and challenging senior Politburo members such as Comrades Tshinga Dube and Eliphas Mashaba.

A vote of no confidence will be held later, where a new interim Bulawayo provincial chairman will be announced, the source added.

However, a faction supporting Charuka and Sibanda has expressed their intention to fight the suspension, arguing that the process is unconstitutional and, therefore, null and void.

In his statement, Mnangagwa emphasized the importance of unity and national healing, saying: “A nation can only be built by a unified people… Let us choose reconciliation over retribution and emerge stronger as a nation.”

While some observers have expressed skepticism about the programme’s effectiveness, others see it as a step towards acknowledging and addressing the past.

The programme’s success will depend on the willingness of all parties involved to engage in open and honest dialogue.

Opposition leader Advocate Nelson Chamisa has expressed deep concern over the lack of effective leadership in the country.

In a poignant address on Monday, Advocate Chamisa stated:

ENHANCED PUBLIC TRANSPORT…

The presence of bullet trains represents a significant leap in transportation infrastructure.

This photograph showcases a train journey from Osaka to Tokyo in Japan. It is truly disheartening to witness the missed opportunities and squandered advantages that have hindered our progress.

Public transportation should embody a delightful and dignified experience. It must guarantee safety, affordability, efficiency, and simplicity.

Whenever I travel to different nations, I am reminded of the natural beauty of Zimbabwe and the untapped potential we possess.

We possess all the necessary components for success.

We are equipped with everything essential to soar and prosper, barring one crucial element—effective leadership! #NewDawn #ForEveryone
