Former Tourism Minister Engineer Walter Mzembi has challenged CCC MPs to be wary of Emmerson Mnangagwa’s secret manoeuvres.

According to Eng Mzembi, Mnangagwa is desperate to restore Zanu PF’s 2/3 majority in Parliament, even if it means killing opponents.

“The cruel & crude hunt for a 2/3 majority begins . It will take all forms , shapes& modes. Be careful where you eat what you eat , watch your review mirrors, be super careful on the the road , who you date & sleep with, this is in addition to these recalls !

These CIO & FAZ inspired recalls of @CCCZimbabwe Councillors and MPs are exactly the reason why there should be a @SADC_News Extraordinary Summit on Zimbabwe.

Destabilization of a State starts with State sponsored destabilization of political parties, “Eng Mzembi wrote on X

In a jaw-dropping incident that has sent shockwaves across the region, Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa was humiliated and blatantly ignored by a South African police officer during his border post tour with Cyril Ramaphosa.

Video footage capturing the callous encounter shows Mnangagwa, standing side by side with Ramaphosa, attempting to extend a courteous greeting to the South African officer. However, she callously bypassed him and it was only after President Ramaphosa intervened and introduced her to Mnangagwa.

GOVERNMENT says seven bodies are still missing while six are yet to be removed as they are pinned behind a big boulder at Bay Horse Mine after the mine caved in last week.

In a post-cabinet briefing this Wednesday, the Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Honourable Dr Jenfan Muswere said 13 persons managed to escape when the mine caved in, nine were rescued and four bodies were found.

39 miners were verified to have been trapped in a kilometre-long tunnel on the day of the disaster.

After being called into action, the District Civil Protection Committee swiftly assessed the situation, coordinated the reaction actions, enlisted the aid of neighbouring mining firms in the rescue attempts and set up a Command Centre at the mine.

The deceased are receiving state-assisted funerals, which include burial services, the provision of grain, and funding to oversee the burials. The mine owner is additionally assisting with the burial arrangements as well as providing food for the rescue team.

The search for the missing people and the recovery of the remaining dead are ongoing.

Regarding the Mashava Plane Crush, Cabinet has announced that the RioZim plane, which was flying from Harare to Murowa Diamonds, had 6 men on board.

The bereaved families are receiving support from the National Civil Protection Fund.

The government is providing funeral assistance, psychological therapy, and forensic inspection and DNA testing of the deceased people’s remains to mourning relatives through the Civil Protection Unit.

SEOM REPORT EXCERPT: 1/ Prior to election day, ZEC had assured our Mission and other stakeholders, that all necessary voting materials, including ballot papers, were available and ready for use before election day. This communication was made in the context of section 52A(2) of the Electoral Act which requires ZEC to provide information on the number of ballot papers and publication of details regarding them. On the basis of these two considerations, the subsequent information from ZEC that they did not have adequate ballot papers has the unfortunate effect of creating doubts about the credibility of this electoral process. #FreshElectionZW🇿🇼 #NoToAnother5Years

SEOM REPORT EXCERPT: 2/ During the voting period, and at 26% of the polling stations observed by the SEOM, not all voters who turned out could vote. The reasons advanced for this included:

i. Voters were identified, but the names were not found on the voters’ roll;
ii. It was not possible to establish the voter’s identity;
iii. Voters were at the wrong polling station; ( illegal transfer of voters) #FreshElectionsZW🇿🇼 #NoToAnother5Years

SEOM REPORT EXCERPT: 3/ In at least more than 500 of polling stations observed, indelible ink was not checked on the voters before allowing them to cast their vote. #FreshElectionsZW🇿🇼 #NoToAnother5Years

SEOM REPORT EXCERPT: 4/ Ballot boxes did not remain locked and/or sealed at more than 300 of the polling stations observed by SEOM. #FreshElectionsZW🇿🇼 #NoToAnother5Years

SEOM REPORT EXCERPT: 5/ In previous stakeholder consultations, a shadowy organisation referred to as Forever Associates Zimbabwe was accused of conducting a country-wide exercise of electoral intimidation.

Our observers confirmed the existence of this group as its officials or agents were easily identifiable at some polling stations as they were dressed in regalia emblazoned with the FAZ name and were accredited local observers. These, and other unidentified persons who were not polling officials were also observed taking down the names of voters before they cast their votes. In some areas, voters were intimidated by actions of these individuals.

In a twist, South Africa-based Zimbabwean musician Sgodo, whose real name is Alson Mandla Thebe, is demanding a full refund of his lobola (dowry) money from his in-laws following his wife’s departure from their marriage for a man of the cloth.

Sgodo, who is heartbroken over the situation, is insisting on the return of every cent he paid for his wife, Buhle Ncube, after she abruptly left him just one year into their marriage.

Trouble began when Ncube took their child and left Sgodo, relocating to live with her mother, effectively denying him access to their offspring.

The once-happy couple, who had a child together, seemed to have a promising future, but everything took a tragic turn when Ncube decided to leave Sgodo and took their child with her.

Since then, Sgodo has been embroiled in a battle to regain access to his child, but his efforts have been in vain.

Sgodo contends that his in-laws may have exploited him, insisting that when he paid lobola, it was not solely intended for the child’s upbringing. He firmly believes that the lobola he paid for Ncube should have covered the child’s expenses, absolving him of any additional financial responsibility.

Expressing his frustration and sense of deception, Sgodo is now making an unprecedented demand for a complete refund of the lobola he paid for Ncube.

He said, “My in-laws were trying to drain me financially and leave me penniless. My child should be allowed to live with my mother, who is still alive, but Ncube’s parents are against the idea.”

Adding to the drama, it has been rumored that Ncube left Sgodo for a well-known pastor residing in South Africa.

When questioned by B-Metro, Ncube defended her decision, claiming that she left Sgodo due to alleged abuse. She stated, “It is indeed true that I was in a relationship with Sgodo, it was all lovely that he went to pay lobola at my parent’s homestead and I went to live with him.”

“Trouble started three months after moving in with him that he started having extramarital affairs with several women. When I confronted him about it, he said it was his child’s mother and there was no way that he was going to lose communication with them so I left, taking my child with me.”

“After I had left the child, Sgodo started calling and insulting me, saying he wants his child back or I will bring back the money he used on lobola. So I don’t know if that is how things are done since I gave him a child and I cannot continue staying in an abusive relationship with someone who doesn’t know what he wants,” Ncube added.

Ncube asserted that she has moved on and Sgodo should do the same. She made it clear that she has no intentions of returning to a relationship with him and emphasized that Sgodo should focus on building a respectful and healthy connection with their child.

This story has sent shockwaves through the Zimbabwean community, as it raises complex questions about cultural traditions, relationships, and family dynamics. The situation continues to develop, with Sgodo steadfast in his pursuit of a lobola refund, and Ncube standing by her decision to move forward with her life.-state media

Zimbabwe Republic Police Reshuffles Officers Amidst Controversy

In the midst of controversy surrounding the disappearance of a prominent police officer following threats from Tourism Minister Barbara Rwizi, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has announced a major reshuffle of its officers. The police force maintains that these transfers and redeployments are part of a routine program aimed at improving the effectiveness of law enforcement.

According to the ZRP, these reassignments are intended to address gaps left by officers who have died, been promoted, retired, or discharged from duty for various reasons. The police organization emphasizes that frequent reassignments are part of their human resource policy, designed to enhance overall performance and versatility among senior officers.

The ZRP spokesperson, Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi, stated, “There is nothing sinister about transfers. Transfers are part of police work, and there is a need to rotate officers.” He explained that promotions and retirements necessitate these changes, and Commissioner-General of Police Godwin Matanga has the prerogative to make such transfers.

Nyathi emphasized that these transfers are not targeted at specific individuals but are made to tap into officers’ experience and align them with the evolving demands of policing in the country. He encouraged officers with concerns to approach the police command and the Police General Headquarters for resolution.

This reshuffling comes as the ZRP has been undergoing significant transformations since 2018, with the aim of rebuilding public confidence in the force. As Zimbabwe strives to achieve its Vision 2030 of becoming an upper-middle-income society, the ZRP is adapting its structure and policies to meet new policing demands.

Earlier this year, 300 junior and senior police officers were reshuffled as part of an ongoing restructuring effort, which saw officers moved between provinces and stations to prevent them from becoming entrenched in one role for too long.

The recent promotion of officers, including 18 superintendents, highlights the evolving responsibilities within the police service. Commissioner-General Godwin Matanga stressed the importance of exemplary leadership, patriotism, discipline, and ethical conduct among the newly promoted officers.

Additionally, the ZRP has been actively recruiting to bolster its human resources, as it continues its transformation and rebranding efforts to regain public trust.

While the police maintain that these transfers are routine and intended to enhance their effectiveness, questions and concerns continue to circulate in light of recent controversies within the force. The ZRP’s actions will undoubtedly be closely scrutinized in the coming weeks as they seek to ensure security and uphold the law in Zimbabwe.-state media

GWERU, ZIMBABWE – Police in Gweru have cordoned off part of Mtausi suburb along the Gweru-Shurugwi highway after violence and skirmishes erupted from some artisanal miners following the discovery of gold deposits in the area.

Police say some residents raised alarm after over 100 artisanal miners descended on the suburb in search of gold.

One resident, Mr Norman Machacha, said he had to call the police after several efforts to ward off artisanal miners from his residential stand failed.

“I was woken up by a loud noise and saw a group of people digging in my yard,” Machacha said. “I tried to stop them, but they threatened to beat me up. I had to call the police.”

Another resident, Mrs Mary Chiri, said her house was broken into by artisanal miners who were looking for gold.

“I was asleep when I heard a noise in the living room,” Chiri said. “I woke up and saw a group of men in my house. They told me they were looking for gold and that they would not leave until they found it.”

Chiri said the artisanal miners stole her valuables, including a television, laptop, and jewelry.

Police have since arrived on the scene and are trying to contain the situation. However, tensions remain high, with both residents and artisanal miners vowing not to back down.

The discovery of gold in Mtausi suburb has sparked a new gold rush in Gweru, with artisanal miners from all over the country flocking to the area. However, the influx of artisanal miners has also led to an increase in crime and violence.

The government has been urged to intervene and find a solution to the problem of artisanal miners invading residential areas.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE BELOW….

By Farai D Hove | ANALYSIS | ZimEye | At a time when revelations of his affair with the new Attorney General are rife, ZANU PF President Emmerson Mnangagwa, finds himself at the center of serious allegations related to his personal life and temper control. These allegations, largely unchallenged, have ignited concerns about the senior politician’s emotional stability, particularly in private settings.

**Explosive Allegations Unearthed:**

The controversy erupted following 48 year running persistent revelations that Mr Mnangagwa maintains multiple romantic relationships, including one with the recently appointed Attorney General. While these allegations remain unprosecuted, they have led to intense speculation about the man’s emotional demeanor and how he handles his temper behind closed doors.

When he insurrected against the late president Robert Mugabe in Nov 2017, Mnangagwa had a warrant of arrest over the murder of his girlfriend in a flat. The docket (pictures in the link below) is still there, and the whole military coup was a way to sway away the criminal charges, sources suggested to ZimEye – that Mnangagwa knew he was going to be arrested for the murder of the girlfriend (a church member of Tudor Bismark’s organisation) killed in a flat in Harare who was a discovered a week later.

She was found mutilated at her private parts. The pictures are gruesome. (click to view)

**Disturbing Video Footage:**

Amid this storm of allegations, Mr. Mnangagwa was caught on camera in two instances, one after the other displaying unsettling physical aggression towards his own bodyguards. The most recent incident occurred during a public address, where Mnangagwa was addressing a large crowd.

In the video footage, Emmerson Mnangagwa was seen agitatedly complaining about a small white flower he was wearing. He repeatedly demanded that his bodyguard remove the placated flower, uttering the words, “Dhonza icho.” The situation took a disturbing turn when he forcefully thrust his hand towards the unnamed bodyguard, even after the flower had been removed. This episode raises serious questions about his ability to control his temper, especially in a public setting. VIDEO:

**Echoes of a Troubled Past:**

The disturbing visuals from this recent incident bring back haunting memories from a 2014 police case. At that time, Mr. Mnangagwa was implicated in the alleged murder of one of his girlfriends, who was also a church member of Bishop Tudor Bizmark’s Church. Despite the passage of nine years, the President has not provided any response or clarification regarding these allegations.

**Calls for Accountability:**

In light of these recent events, many Zimbabweans and international observers are demanding accountability and transparency from President Mnangagwa. The allegations of multiple romantic relationships and the disturbing public display of aggression have raised valid concerns about his suitability to lead the nation.

**Awaiting President Mnangagwa’s Response:**

The nation now awaits a response from President Mnangagwa regarding the allegations surrounding his personal life and the unsettling incident captured on camera. His ability to address these controversies may significantly impact his standing both within his party and among the Zimbabwean people.

As the situation unfolds, Zimbabweans and the international community will closely monitor developments and await clarity on these deeply troubling matters.

By A Correspondent| A Kadoma woman has been spared prosecution after the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) withdrew charges of denigrating President Emmerson Mnangagwa while at a funeral, which had been preferred against her.

Rudorwashe Shumba, a 38 year-old resident of Kadoma in Mashonaland West province, had been scheduled to stand trial late last month at Kadoma Magistrates Court after she was arrested on 28 August 2023 and charged with assault as defined in section 89(1)(a) of the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act.

In court, prosecutors alleged that Shumba unlawfully and intentionally assaulted 49 year-old Joram Bhavhenda, a ZANU PF party supporter, who is also a resident of Kadoma, on 15 August 2023 around 1: AM while attending a funeral and after accusing him and some other ruling party sympathisers of making it difficult for her to be free at the funeral.

Prosecutors claimed that while Bhavhenda reportedly kept quiet during the altercation, Shumba clapped him once on the face and accused him and other ZANU PF party supporters of being “President Mnangagwa’s dogs”.

During the incident, prosecutors said Bhavhenda did not sustain any visible injuries and did not seek any medical attention after the alleged assault.

But Shumba, who was represented by Unite Saizi of Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights, is now a free person after the NPA dropped charges against her following a request by Bhavhenda, who has since made peace with the 38 year-old Kadoma resident, as they are neighbours.

By A Correspondent| Top economist and former Board member of ZimTrade Professor Gift Mugano has accused Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Fredrick Shava of trying to silence him.

Mugano is a fierce critic of the government and has on many occasions condemned Zimbabwe’s economic policies and instruments which did not go well with the regime.

Yesterday, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Secretary Ambassador J Manzou announced that Prof Mugano had been removed from the ZimTrade board. This follows his earlier resignation from the Zisco Steel board.

In his response, Mugano said moves to silence him will not work.

“Fired from the ZimTrade Board by the appointing authority before the end of my term! This is part of the strategies of GOZ aimed at silencing alternative voices. It will not work on me! Zimbabwe is for us all and our views matters,” said Prof Mugano.

Recently, Mugano took to X (formerly Twitter) to express pessimism about the direction the country was taking.

“I am trying to frame how the economy will look like going forward – all I see is darkness,” said Mugano.

Academic Professor Ibbo Mandaza Urges SADC and AU to Address Zimbabwe’s Political Crisis

JOHANNESBURG – In a gripping lecture held at Wits University today, Zimbabwean academic and prominent commentator, Professor Ibbo Mandaza, delivered a powerful message, urging the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the African Union (AU) not to turn a blind eye to the ongoing political crisis in Zimbabwe.

Professor Mandaza’s lecture, which focused on the recent elections in Zimbabwe, drew a diverse audience of students, academics, and diplomats who were keen to hear his insights on the troubling state of affairs in his home country.

During the lecture, Professor Mandaza minced no words as he criticized the handling of the political situation in Zimbabwe, particularly in the wake of the recent elections. He expressed deep concerns about the alleged irregularities and human rights violations that marred the electoral process.

“The people of Zimbabwe deserve a democratic and transparent electoral process,” Professor Mandaza stated emphatically. “It is essential that SADC and the AU take an active role in ensuring that the political crisis in Zimbabwe is addressed promptly and fairly.”

His comments come at a time when Zimbabwe has been grappling with political instability, economic challenges, and allegations of human rights abuses. The recent elections in Zimbabwe raised eyebrows both locally and internationally, with accusations of voter suppression and a lack of transparency.

Professor Mandaza’s lecture was met with resounding applause from the audience, many of whom shared his concerns and called for international intervention. The Zimbabwean academic’s reputation as a thoughtful and respected commentator on African politics lent further weight to his call for action.

As news of his lecture spread, social media platforms buzzed with discussions, with many echoing his sentiments and demanding that regional and continental bodies step in to address the ongoing crisis in Zimbabwe.

The SADC and AU have faced criticism in the past for their perceived inaction on matters of political turmoil within member states. Professor Mandaza’s passionate plea serves as a stark reminder that the international community is closely watching and urging these organizations to live up to their mandates.

In the wake of Professor Mandaza’s powerful message, the question now remains: Will SADC and the AU heed his call and take concrete steps to address the political crisis in Zimbabwe, or will Zimbabweans continue to endure a state of uncertainty and unrest? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain—Professor Ibbo Mandaza’s words have ignited a renewed sense of urgency surrounding the Zimbabwean crisis, both within and beyond its borders.

STATEMENT ON THE OPPOSITION’S BOYCOTT OF THE OFFICIAL OPENING OF THE FIRST SESSION OF THE 10TH PARLIAMENT AND THE STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS(SONA) BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF ZIMBABWE, H.E Dr. ED MNANGAGWA

The Progressive and Patriotic Citizens of Zimbabwe, notes with dismay the boycotting of the official opening of the First session of the Tenth parliament of Zimbabwe and the State of the Nation address by the president of the Republic of Zimbabwe, Cde Dr ED Mnangagwa.

The boycott is evidence of a party lacking both principles, ideology and tact. It is a puplic secret that the Citizens Coalition for Change gladly embraced its victories in the legislative and council elections that took place on 23 August 2023 during the National harmonized elections.

CCC envies the benefits that come with their victories, yet hypocritically claims not recognize the electoral outcome.

These opposition party lawmakers who boycotted the official opening of the First session of the tenth parliament did not only violate their oath of office but also betrayed their respective constituencies’ desire to be represented.

CCC legislators must understand that they are part of government and they represent everyone across the political divide.As PAPCOZ we therefore condemn such irresponsible behavior with the contempt it deserves.

On the other side of the spectrum, however, PAPCOZ embraces the state of the nation address for it outlined and provided a comprehensive overview of the government’s achievements and highlighted the legislative focus for the upcoming parliamentary session.

With a strong emphasis on economic growth, infrastructure development and social welfare, the President reaffirmed his administration’s total and unwavering commitment to advancing the nation of Zimbabwe and improving the lives of ordinary citizens as we endeavor to achieve an empowered and upper-middle income society by 2030.

As current Chairperson of Pan African Postal Union(PAPU) , I have a keen interest and zeal on the development compartmentalised around the globe with emphasis on ensuring that our Zim Post and its ancillary services become the Centre of E- Commerce and Digitization.

This requires great collaboration and coordination with other countries for goods will be moving from country to country.

It is imperative to note the Postal sector is not dormant, but going through a robust transformation through new technologies and innovation with digitization. We should thrive on enhancing E- Commerce, Digital Financial services , oral digital technology to promote efficiency and traceability on courier services towards a digital Economy.

I am therefore through my Ministry geared to unlock untapped opportunities presented by a digital postal system for the betterment of Industry and Commerce.

The Department of Immigration’s Regional Compliance and Enforcement Unit has declared its unwavering commitment to safeguarding the transformed Beitbridge Border Post from criminals and illegal migrants. Recent figures released by the department highlight the extent of their efforts, with 2,383 individuals turned away at the border, and 1,781 arrested for various illegal activities over the past three weeks in the region straddling Zimbabwe and South Africa.

This ongoing regional compliance operation, conducted in collaboration with local police, aims to curtail criminal activities that have plagued the border area. These activities include border jumping, touting, the use of counterfeit immigration stamps, and forged travel documents, which have contributed to a surge in human trafficking.

Mrs. Canisia Magaya, the Head of Immigration Compliance and Enforcement at Beitbridge, emphasized the cooperative approach being taken to tackle these issues. She stated, “We are not relenting on our quest to maintain safety and security for travelers and ensure a flawless flow of traffic this festive season.” Mrs. Magaya further explained that they are working closely with other border agencies as part of an enforcement committee to address problems related to touts, vendors, and vagrants along the border.

The recent crackdown resulted in the apprehension of offenders at freight, bus, light vehicle, and pedestrian terminals between September 12 and October 2. Mrs. Magaya noted that the operation’s primary goal is to ensure the safety and security of all travelers.

She reported, “Our regional enforcement and compliance remain firm on the ground. We worked with other border agencies, including the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), and between September 12 and October 2, they arrested 2,383 individuals for various border violation-related offenses.”

During the same period, 288 people were denied entry into South Africa, while 276 were unable to enter Zimbabwe. These individuals included citizens from countries such as the DRC, Egypt, Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Pakistan, and others. Many lacked valid permits, passports, or departure stamps from their home countries.

Mrs. Magaya stressed that ample manpower has been deployed to target known hotspots and areas prone to criminal activities. She also urged travelers to utilize designated entry and exit points for their own safety and to seek assistance from immigration offices if they have questions or concerns, as touts often exploit their lack of information.

The compliance operation remains ongoing, with Mrs. Magaya affirming their determination not to give criminals any breathing space. Enforcement teams are diligently conducting spot checks on vehicles and buses entering and leaving the country through Beitbridge Border Post.

The automation of services and improved traffic management at the transformed Beitbridge Border Post has significantly enhanced efficiency and security, making it a pivotal point of entry for the country. This commitment to safety and security underscores the importance of maintaining the integrity of this critical border crossing for both Zimbabwe and its neighboring countries.-state media

There are concerns about the safety of CCC officials following the death of another elected councillor in Zvishavane.

CCC councillor for ward 4, Zvishavane, Cherita Mundoka, died on Tuesday. The cause of her death is yet to be disclosed.

Another CCC councillor for ward 2, Chinhoyi, Patricia Chibaya died mysteriously last week raising fears the Zanu PF regime could be behind suspected elimination of opposition officials.

In a statement on Tuesday CCC said:

“We are saddened to learn of the passing of our change champion and recently elected ward 4 councilor for Zvishavane Town Council, Cherita Mundoka. Despite the unfree, rigged, unfair, and sham electoral conditions, she won the 23 August elections with a wide margin. May her soul rest in peace.”

The party also condemned the incessant persecution of citizens by the Harare regime.

” The regime in Harare persists in persecuting our members. Councilor Chipere from Rusape Ward 1, along with two Polling Agents, has been unjustly arrested on fabricated charges. This ongoing abuse of state institutions must cease. We demand the immediate release of these individuals. “

Zimbabwe Battles Fresh Cholera Outbreak Amidst Institutional and Governance Challenges-

Zimbabwe finds itself grappling with a resurgence of cholera, shining a harsh spotlight on the nation’s institutional and governance hurdles. As of Tuesday, the country has reported 61 suspected cases, including four confirmed cholera cases and one suspected death, with the majority concentrated in Buhera district, the epicenter of this outbreak.

The situation has taken a concerning turn, with 40 new suspected cholera cases and another laboratory-confirmed infection reported just yesterday. Buhera remains severely affected, with 33 cases, along with Chipinge, Zaka, and Mutare contributing to the alarming rise in cases.

Harare, the nation’s capital, has also been affected, with five confirmed cases scattered across different zones. Harare City Council acknowledged the connection between the cases and Buhera, suggesting the possibility of local transmission.

Frustrated residents of Harare have expressed their dissatisfaction with the city’s management, citing a lack of basic services such as garbage collection and clean water provision as contributing factors to the outbreak. They argue that a collapsing service delivery system has left the city vulnerable to public health crises.

One resident, Mrs. Shupikai Thompson, pointed out the disconnect between policy-making and implementation within the City of Harare, while Ms. Prudence Rukondo criticized the City Council for failing to provide clean potable water. Many residents believe that councillors prioritize their interests over public welfare.

Inadequate refuse collection and frequent sewerage blockages in high-density areas are aggravating factors in the spread of cholera. Critics argue that the council’s allocation of resources does not prioritize health delivery and environmental conservation.

Cholera, a waterborne disease, spreads through contaminated drinking water and food. Zimbabwe has a history of cholera outbreaks, with the worst occurring in 2008 and another major outbreak in 2018. The current outbreak began in February, resulting in 4,609 suspected cases and 935 confirmed cases. The good news is the impressive recovery rate of 4,401, although there have been 30 confirmed deaths and 100 suspected deaths.

A policy research working paper commissioned by the World Bank identified sanitation risk, poverty, sewer burst density, and imported cases as cholera risk factors. Burst sewer systems and water scarcity, exacerbated by opposition council inefficiencies, have affected many Harare suburbs, exposing residents to preventable diseases.

Local authorities are constitutionally obligated to provide safe drinking water, a duty that some argue has not been upheld. Harare City’s deputy mayor, Clr Kudzai Kadzombe, asserts that the council is working to increase water production and ensure that the infectious disease hospital is prepared for any cases that may arise.

While urban areas are affected, concerns have arisen regarding the outbreak’s spread to rural areas like Buhera and Zaka. In response, Zaka District has imposed restrictions on gatherings and markets. Health and Child Care Minister Dr. Douglas Mombeshora acknowledges the need for improved water and sanitation services, especially in urban areas, emphasizing the importance of providing safe drinking water to the population.

As Zimbabwe confronts this fresh cholera outbreak, there is a pressing need for coordinated efforts from all levels of government, improved infrastructure, and transparent governance to prevent future public health crises. The nation stands at a critical crossroads, where the health and well-being of its citizens hang in the balance.- state media

A CHOLERA outbreak has hit Harare with five confirmed cases reported so far, health authorities have revealed.

Terrence Madiro, Aleck Dzepatsva, Brian Matongo, Tinashe Kanda and Elvis Jieman allegedly smuggled different types of high end cars from South Africa and fraudulently acquired exempted number plates for them to have free passage at tollgates and police road blocks.

It is further alleged that the accused worked with some officials from ZIMRA and ZINARA in their shenanigans.

The co-accused, who are facing charges of fraud and smuggling, were remanded in custody pending bail hearing.

Meanwhile, the State has opposed bail for four men who allegedly attacked and seriously injured a Zimbabwe Republic Police CID boss before stealing his firearm.

The Investigating Officer who gave evidence against the accused argued that if released on bail, the quartet is likely to abscond as they are facing serious offences that attract a custodial sentence.

Munyaradzi Chatonzwa, Sydney Rande, Mark Chingondo and Simbarashe Ota allegedly attacked Chief Inspector Alexander Jachi whom they assaulted using unknown objects before they stole his firearm and deflated his car.

In a stunning turn of events, an official representing Douglas Mwonzora’s faction of the opposition in Zimbabwe, purportedly aligned with the CCC (Citizens Coalition for Change), has sent a formal letter to the parliament, demanding the recall of several legislators associated with the nation’s popular leader, Nelson Chamisa.

This development coincides with an announcement by Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi, who declared his intentions to take punitive actions against Chamisa’s MPs for their absence during President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s recent parliamentary speech, which was condemned by the Southern African Development Community (SADC).

Speaking about the matter, Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi stated yesterday that he had received instructions to penalize MPs affiliated with the CCC. This move raises concerns about the potential political repercussions in Zimbabwe.

Remarkably, this development seems to echo historical patterns, as it appears to be part of a broader strategy by the ruling ZANU PF party. The recall of opposition legislators has been employed as a political tool since November 1980, when Joshua Nkomo’s legislators faced similar challenges, continuing through to 2022 with Nelson Chamisa’s MPs.

Notably, commentator and media lecturer Pedzisai Ruhanya expressed skepticism about the legitimacy of Sengezo Tshabangu, who claims to be the CCC Secretary-General (SG).

Ruhanya alleged that Tshabangu had written to the ZANU PF Speaker of Parliament and the Local Government Minister, purporting to recall CCC MPs and councillors.

Ruhanya asserted that the CCC does not have such a post of SG, insinuating that ZANU PF might be resorting to familiar tactics for political maneuvering. He even displayed the letter in question, raising doubts about its authenticity.

Ruhanya posted on X:

“A former MDC-T and PDP official Sengezo Tshabangu, who purports to be CCC SG has written to ZANU PF Speaker of Parliament and Local Gov Minister purporting to recall CCC MPs, councillors. CCC has no such post of SG. In the past ZANU PF used Dhagi for these dirty games. “

This recent controversy evokes memories of 2019 when Speaker of Parliament Jacob Mudenda faced intense scrutiny. During that time, Simba Chikanza conducted a live, on-camera interview with Mudenda in Belgrade, Serbia, where it was revealed that Mudenda had withdrawn allowances from Nelson Chamisa’s legislators as a punitive measure for walking out during Emmerson Mnangagwa’s speech. This action subsequently led to an indictment for war crimes against Mudenda in Serbia, rendering him unable to return to that country.

As this story unfolds, Zimbabweans are left to ponder the implications of these political maneuvers and their potential impact on the nation’s political landscape. The recall of MPs, the authenticity of documents, and international repercussions loom large as Zimbabwe grapples with this latest chapter in its complex political history.

A comment from Douglas Mwonzora and Mr Sengezo Tshabangu had not been obtained at the time of writing.

By Jane Mlambo| Presidential Investment Advisor Paul Tungwarara has been removed from the Zim Cyber City Project after allegations that he swindled his billionaire partner,Nawab Shaji Ul Mulk, of money meant for the project.

An inside source who spoke to this publication said that Tungwarara would use funds that Mulk gave him to make the Zim Cyber City Project a reality for his own personal gain.

“Tungwarara embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars from Mulk until he was caught and removed from the project,” said the source.

“Mulk has since appointed Tendai Mamvura as CEO, who he trusts more than Tungwarara.”

When contacted for comment, Tungwarara denied the allegations, saying: “It’s all lies. I’m still part of the project.”

Tungwarara is no stranger to controversy. He has previously made headlines for overcharging the government on Presidential Borehole Drilling Scheme that he is spearheading.

He has also been accused of demanding fuel in Zimbabwean dollars, despite a government directive that restricts trade in fuel to US dollars.

Meanwhile, construction of Zim Cyber City is expected to start soon, with interest from the rich and famous.

Popular cricketer Sikandar Raza has become the first resident of the opulent residence, which is expected to attract the wealthy and elite.

Speaking after purchasing an apartment last week, Raza said:

“I am thrilled to be a part of Zim Cyber City, a groundbreaking initiative that promises to redefine the future of our beloved Zimbabwe. This project represents not only a smart investment but also an opportunity to contribute to the technological and economic growth of our nation.

“As the first resident of Zim Cyber City, I look forward to witnessing its transformation and growth over the coming years. It’s not just about luxury living; it’s about creating a vibrant and innovative community right here in Zimbabwe.

“I believe in the potential of this project to elevate our country’s profile and draw attention from all corners of the world. Zim Cyber City is not just bricks and mortar; it’s a symbol of progress and the limitless possibilities that lie ahead.

“I’m excited to be a part of this journey and to see how Zim Cyber City will shape the future of our nation. Together, we can make history and bring prosperity to Zimbabwe.”

“The city would like to inform residents that it has now five confirmed cholera cases in Hopely Zone 5, Stoneridge, Southlands, Granary and Adbernie Mbare. We urge all residents in these affected areas and greater Harare to take necessary precautions to avoid contracting cholera,” council said.

Deputy mayor Kudzai Kadzombe told NewsDay that the council was taking steps to contain the outbreak.

“As a council we are working on increasing water production and our Beatrice Infectious Hospital is actually ready for any case that can arise. We have our employees on standby waiting for any case,” Kadzombe said.

Community Working Group on Health executive director Itai Rusike said recurrent cholera outbreaks were concerning

“Zimbabwe needs to strengthen the primary health care principles and the laws regarding public health which explicitly state that communities have a big role to play in public health, but they need an enabling environment for them to do so effectively,” Rusike said.

Zimbabwe Nurses Association president Enock Dongo urged locals to exercise caution in order to stop the disease from spreading.

“This is a very preventable disease and it can be fatal if not treated. People should practise hygiene. It’s all about washing hands and drinking clean water,” Dongo said.

Meanwhile, the Health and Child Care ministry has banned church camp meetings, open markets, communal beer gatherings among other measures to curb the spread of cholera in Zaka, Masvingo.

The 2008 cholera outbreak, which started in Harare and later spread into neighbouring countries, was the deadliest — killing more than 4 000 people and affecting over 100 000 others.

By A Correspondent| In a scathing rebuke, Member of Parliament Temba Mliswa condemned the decision of CCC MPs to boycott today’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) delivered by President Mnangagwa.

Mliswa characterized the move as “another shortsighted and theatrical tantrum,” asserting that it achieves nothing and only serves as an “unwholesome genuflection to the spirit of activism.”

He underscored that such actions betray the CCC’s obligation to their constituents, who anticipate meaningful work and representation.

“It’s staggering how the irony of the whole move is escaping them. The MPs are a product of the same process that produced President Mnangagwa as a winner. If they were sincere in their claims against the elections, they should have refused to be sworn in first as MPs!

“This nihilistic activism that wants to drag everyone& everything into the mud unless and until they get what they want is anti-development and unprogressive. Either you accept the wins& losses or you dump both the wins and the losses. You can’t be nitpicking at your convenience,” said Mliswa.

CCC legislators yesterday boycotted the State of the Nation Address (SONA) citing the 23 August elections which they said was a sham process.

By Kerina Mujati| Good morning Zimbabwe. This is Kuda Tagwirei, a thief that was introduced to Zimbabweans as an upright businessman and a crook that hides behind the Church as an ardent Seventh Day Adventist. This Crook is the one that has been fronting to loot all ZanuPF investments in Zimbabwe for Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa. The biggest loot which is CBZ.

CBZ is a ZanuPF investment which ED looted under Kuda Tagwirei. Only time will tell as it shall be recovered from the thieving looters.

Currently Zimbabweans are you aware that Emmerson Mnangagwa and his family are buying into all profitable companies feeding into NSSA such as First Mutual, ZB Holdings? Any profitable company in Zimbabwe, Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa and his family are buying as they are looting through NSSA ,a cash cow that would never get broke.

Kudakwashe Tagwirei is no ardent Christian nor businessman but a straight thief and conman just like Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa.

Every Dog is got its day, whatever ED and family are looting using their friends and cronies must be public knowledge that ALL will be recovered for the people of Zimbabwe and Zanu PF will recover all its domestic and regional investments that ED and family stole.

Kudakwashe Tagwirei is the evil that lives amongst us and remember his evil deeds….chimbavha uye chipfambi sa ED

THE Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe (MCAZ) has revoked licences and permits for 10 pharmaceutical firms that have been illegally trading in counterfeit and unregistered substances which are fueling rampant drug abuse in the country.

Although government through the MCAZ banned the sale and use of unregistered medicines like Bronclear cough syrup while controlling the sale of syrups which contain codeine, the medicines have flooded the streets, prompting the regulatory body to launch an investigation.

“MCAZ‘s primary responsibility is to regulate medicines and medical devices in Zimbabwe. Through our robust regulatory framework, we ensure that only safe, effective and quality medicines are available on the market.

“By doing so, we aim to prevent the circulation of counterfeit drugs and unregistered substances that can contribute to drug abuse. In this regard the authority has revoked six permits for wholesale dealers and cancelled four persons’ licences who were promoting abuse of Histalix, a locally produced cough mixture containing codeine by illegally selling it at Mbare and places like Chitungwiza and others were exporting to Zambia and Mozambique,” said MCAZ Head Licencing and Enforcement Division, Mrs Caroline Dandira-Samatanga.

The authority has also put in place mechanisms to control availability of codeine-containing medicines through ensuring they are only dispensed to patients with valid prescriptions.

This year alone a total of 17 pharmacies have had their licences revoked as government intensifies the fight to curb drug abuse.

The pharmacies include Bestpharm Pharmaceuticals, Adept Pharmaceuticals, Maturity Pharmaceuticals, Action 24 Medical Suppliers and Medserve Pharmacy, among others.

Statement released by the Citizens Coalition for Change

NO TO ANOTHER 5 YEARS OF LOOTING:

The recent establishment of the Mutapa Investment Fund by the Harare regime warrants condemnation from all citizens.

This fund was not created to benefit the country’s economy or its citizens; instead, it serves as another scheme for looting that provides personal benefits to Mr. Mnangagwa, his relatives, and their close associates.

It is alarming to note that over 20 state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are now under the control of this illegal and fraudulent Investment Fund.

And these SOEs will not be subjected to the regulations outlined in the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Act. It is critical that we voice our disapproval and advocate for fresh elections to prevent further misuse of power. #NotAnother5Years #FreshElectionsZW

Below are some of the state-owned enterprises under the Mutapa Investment Fund:
