By A Correspondent An eight year-old boy was killed by an elephant in Muzarabani while his 12-year-old brother, Solomon who sustained multiple body injuries survived the attack and is now receiving medical attention.

Narrating the ordeal from his hospital bed at St Alberts Mission Hospital, Muzarabani, Solomon said they had gone into the woods as usual. He narrated:

We had gone out to look for our cattle with my young brother when we heard the bell of our cows we stopped; little did we know that an elephant was roaming in the same area.

The moment we saw it, my young brother screamed in fear and the elephant started running towards us. The elephant caught up with my brother trampled on him.

While I tried to rescue him, the elephant pierced my stomach and threw me into a nearby tree where I lost consciousness for a moment.

Then I woke up later and rushed to a nearby villager who assisted me to come to the hospital.

Speaking after visiting the hospitalised boy, Muzarabani North legislator, Honourable Zhemu Soda urged relevant authorities to reduce the growing numbers of dangerous animals which were killing people and also disturbing farming activities.

JEALOUSY MAWARIRE REBUKES TALENT CHIWENGA OVER ACCIDENT CLAIMS

1) We note, with concern, the attempt, by Talent Chiwenga’s church, to assume the duty of the police, VID & even the courts, to preside over a matter, that surely shld be b4 the courts since the accident claimed 3 lives.

2)While we are not experts in analysing accidents,we note,in the church statement,a deliberate omission of a huge contribution to that head-on collision, which is the absence of clear markings at the Norton tollgate of the transitioning from a single carriage into a dual carriage

3)No attempt was made,in the interest of fairness & safety of other road users today,to explain that while the Byo-Hre road dualisation is starting at the Norton tollgate, the tollgate covers only the old section, hence when travelling from Byo,the rd is a single carriage meaning

4)when one is driving from Byo u get into the tollgate on a single carriage but exit the tollgate already in a dual carriage meaning automatically the lane u were using from Byo becomes a wrong lane just at the tollgate exit.There are no carriage marks to indicate this transition

5)There are no barricades to avoid traffic from Bulawayo proceeding through a wrong lane. This is information the Norton traffic police gave to family members of those who were involved in the accident & am sure the church got that info as well.

6) This info wasn’t given, just to explain how the accident happened, but also to warn us when travelling to the scene to avoid a similar collision. When we went to the scene around 10pm, the police insisted we drove to the extreme left to avoid the fate that befell our relatives

7)As a family,thru a relative in the parliamentary portifolio committee on transport, we raised a complaint to the Min of Transport on the lack of clear transitioning markings at the tollgate.While this wld not help our already deceased relatives, it will help the motoring public

8) In the presence of such information, we wonder why the church, a supposedly religious & charitable organisation, deliberately, or otherwise, doesn’t inform the public of that info which even the Norton traffic police is complaining about. As a family we also believe

9)the church shld have contacted us as a bereaved family,if not to convey their condolences,but to inform us of allegations they’re now laying against our deceased relatives. My bro who was driving the white car had his drivers licence on him & a phone police used to contact us

10)I also posted here that the person involved in the accident was my brother & if the church is making allegations against him, it is really fair that they contact us since he is no longer alive to answer to their allegations.

11) It is quite unfair to suggest that an educationist, owner of Prestige Secondary & Primary schools in Bulawayo, his wife & a Harare lawyer, Mr Makopa, who also perished in the accident, were on a suicidal mission to harm Chiwenga & kill themselves in the process.

12)Such allegations r not only callous,but do not even rise to the level of nonsense. As a family we have also registered disquiet, as to why a driver involved in a fatal accident was immediately extracted from the accident scene by non-medical staff b4 police attended the scene.

13) My brother, his wife & Mr Makopa were taken alive to Norton Hospital & Mr Makopa was then transferred to Harare where he unfortunately passed on early Tues while my brother & his wife unfortunately succumbed to injuries while being attended to at Norton hospital.

14)While we r not legal experts, we’re just surprised why the driver of the other car was wisked away from the accident scene “by a well-wisher” & also question the legality of such an act. Ordinarily that wouldn’t have concerned us but it matters when same driver, on the night

15)of the accident,was in a state of mind to begin circulating infor alleging our relatives, who passed on in the accident involving the car he was driving,were state security agents after his life.We r also interested, as he is,to know the identity of the car & driver he alleges

16)was chasing him from Kuwadzana roundabout, caz that detail has effect on the way he was driving & consequently the head-on collision & the failure, by the 2 drivers, to avoid an imminent collision. We are also interested to know why he didn’t drive into either

17) Kuwadzana or Norton police stations to alert Police cars revolving light that he was being trailed? We are of the opinion such a measure would have helped him avoid collision with our relative & may be our relative cld have met other responsible drivers to alert him he was on the wrong lane.

18)While it wldnt have helped us or our deceased relatives we also believe, as part of ubuntu, the driver of the car involved in the accident with our deceased relatives, shld have contacted us since we understand he is alive. We had to know who he was thru his social media rants

19) and a piece of paper we found around the wreckages which I attach here. We thought it was in his interest, as is ours, to know the parties involved in the accident b4 his rantings on social media. A young lawyer’s life was lost in the accident, Presige group of schools lost

20) two directors in the accident & families lost breadwinners, relatives & friends in that unfortunate accident & were expected responsible citizens, let alone supposed church pple, guided by the Spirit of Truth, to act responsibly & not use the demise of our relatives

21)to feed into their paranoia & conspiracy theories. My brother & his wife were travelling for the burial of our sister on Tuesday morning when they met their deaths Monday evening & as a family we ended up with 3 bodies to bury. That alone took a huge toll on us emotionally

22)the least we expected from a party to the Collision symbol was to act responsibly after contacting our family.But since we’re different beings with different aspects, temperaments, psychological & mental states, we have no choice but to live with extremities & absurdities life threw on us.

23) While we don’t want to be conspiracy theorists like Chiwenga & his church, we are naturally bound to ask why Talent Chiwenga is always involved in fatal road traffic accidents where 3 people die.Last year it was his wife,Mai Vhurumuku & a church member, this year it’s my bro

24)his wife & a harare lawyer. In normal jurisdictions,the mental state, driving competency & psychological disposition of a common denominator in such fatal accidents is investigated,we can’t have a single being competing with Covid-19 in killing pple thru road traffic accidents

You cant stoop so low to defend the accident whose circumstances you do not understand! Please desist from this tendency of making everyone who speaks against Emmanuel Makandiwa a Target! Let Makandiwa Fight his own Wars. This is pathetic and embarrassing from you!

By A Correspondent- Police working with the Zimbabwe National Army have tightened lockdown enforcement measures as cases of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic continue to rise.

National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said more than 400 people were arrested on Thursday for violating lockdown regulations.

“With immediate effect, police and the other security services have tightened enforcement of lockdown measures and we expect the public to cooperate, especially with the increase in new COVID-19 infections and 273 people testing positive for the virus on July 16, 2020,” he said.

Early this week, President Emmerson Mnangagwa indicated that he would soon announce tighter restrictive measures to save lives.

By A Correspondent- The Minister of Local Government, Public Works and National Housing July Moyo has issued a Government Gazette renaming roads all over the country.

One of the notable changes is the renaming of Bulawayo’s 6th Avenue Emmerson Mnangagwa Way.

The renaming was done using SI 167 of 2020. Below is the full schedule (full print)

By A Correspondent- Zanu Pf youths have threatened to work hand-in-glove with police in “arresting malcontents” planning to stage anti-government protests on July 31.

The protests are being organised by citizens, civil society groups and opposition parties irked by the current economic hardships which they blame on President Emmerson Mnangagwa’smaladministration.

Addressing small-to-medium business operators in Mbare, Harare, on Thursday, Zanu-PF acting deputy youth secretary Tendai Chirau said they would do everything possible to defend President Emmerson Mnangagwa, including working with the police to beat up and arrest protesters.

“They (protestors) want to be violent and want to think they will repeat what they did in August 2018 to burn property and vehicles. Why loot and burn property? We love peace but we have people who want violence to get into power,” Chirau said.

“On July 31, we are there to protect peace and our work. I assure you that the people of Zimbabwe will not stand for that stupidity. If someone does anything on July 31, be warned and don’t ask anyone if you see what will happen.”

He added: “The baton sticks you have as police are not for display. Police are there to maintain law and order and if there is anyone who wants to cause problems, they (the police) have a right to use force.”

He said ruling party youths would not stand and watch while protesters disrupt their business.

“We will not stand and watch. On July 31, go to work if you are in business. As the people of Zimbabwe, together with our police officers, we will not tolerate violence.

“We recognise President Mnangagwa as our President and he is working night and day to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, but you find others wanting to remove him from power.”

Zanu-PF secretary for youth affairs for district co-ordinating committee six, Emmanuel Mahachi said they would work together with police to arrest the protesters.

“Let me assure you, as leader from this area, people who are planning the illegal demonstration set for July 31, we know them and they are thieves. I want to assure you that working with our police; we will arrest those who will get into the streets to cause violence.”

Mahachi added: “On the day, we will protect our jobs, Mupedzanhamo must open and no one will come to do anything there. We are a peaceful people and on that day, we should unite and stop the looting by these people. We will work with our security forces to stop them.”

“You (Chirau) sit in the politburo with President Mnangagwa, please go and tell him to sleep peacefully for we are protecting him and the country is in very safe hands. We are not afraid of anyone.”

But one of the protest organisers, Transform Zimbabwe leader Jacob Ngarivhume yesterday vowed to continue with the demonstrations despite government threats to clamp down on the leaders. Government has also threatened to tighten lockdown restrictions in the next few days as part of measures to contain the spread of COVID, but critics view the move as meant to curtail the planned protests.

Opposition parties have in the past accused government of giving out police uniforms to Zanu-PF youths to crash demonstrations. This was confirmed in January last year by Jim Kunaka the former leader of a Zanu-PF terror group, Chipangano, when he appeared before a commission of inquiry led by former South African President Kgalema Motlanthe. Kunaka was giving evidence into the August 1 2018 fatal shooting of six unarmed civilians by security forces following a disputed election result.

Kunaka told the commission that Zanu-PF youths used to have police uniforms stashed at the basement of the party’s headquarters and would be occasionally unleashed onto the streets to deal with protesters.

But police have denied the reports.

By A Correspondent- MDC Alliance councillors yesterday snubbed MDC-T interim leader Thokozani Khupe, with 14 out of 71 councillors from Greater Harare attending her party meeting at Morgan Richard Tsvangirai House.

Khupe’s team tried to inflate the attendance figures, with two officials, however, giving different figures.

Acting party spokesperson Khalipani Phugeni said 15 councillors attended the meeting, but Epworth Local Board chairperson Batanai Masunda claimed 20 were in attendance, while sources insisted only 14 councillors turned up.

“It was a meeting called by the acting president to deal with several issues as you have read in the media of cases of corruption within local authorities, among other issues. She was reading the riot act and warning those involved in corruption,” Phugeni said.

An attendance register seen by NewsDay Weekender showed that 10 out of 45 Harare councillors attended while Chitungwiza only had two out of 21, while Epworth also had two out of a possible five city fathers.

The opposition was thrown into turmoil after a Supreme Court “moot” ruling of March 30 declared Khupe the interim leader of the MDC-T, saying Nelson Chamisa’s appointment as party vice-president was done unprocedurally.

Since then, Khupe has gone on a warpath recalling MDC Alliance legislators from Parliament and taking over party offices claiming she was the bona fide party leader. This is despite the fact that her MDC-T party and Chamisa’s MDC Alliance contested the 2018 presidential elections as separate entities.

Commenting on the snub, MDC Alliance secretary for presidential affairs Jameson Timba said the move confirmed that the rival camp had no basis to its claim of legitimacy without numbers.

“Khupe and Douglas Mwonzora (MDC-T interim secretary-general) are learning very fast that political power and legitimacy are people rather than court-driven,” Timba said.

“Courts do not bestow political legitimacy. They thought that by commandeering the whole State machinery with threats of recall against the MDC Alliance deployees they would also commandeer people’s hearts.”

MDC Alliance deputy secretary for local government, Jacob Mafume, said party councillors who have defected to Khupe’s camp would be penalised.

Farai Dziva|Political and social analysts have accused Zanu PF apologist Jimaya Muduvuri of insulting millions of suffering Zimbabweans.

Muduvuri, who is the patron of Zimbabwe Amalgamated Council of Churches (ZACC) described the 31 July protests as “unthoughtful public demonstrations.”

Analysts say Muduvuri has gone out of his way in a desperate bid to please his handlers.

“We therefore condemn unreservedly this wanton propensity towards unbridled and thoughtless public demonstrations in the name of constitutional rights. As the leadership of ZACC, a coalition of churches that come from different backgrounds and theological positions, we are a living demonstration and example of peaceful co-existence and tolerance for differences.

“We know that our responsibility as churches is to preach peace, love and unity as commanded by the Almighty God and we pledge ourselves to continue promoting the values of peace and unity and national development.

We are concerned that there are people who still believe that public protests and demonstrations are a viable method to resolve perceived national problems,”Muduvuri told The Herald.

Another church leader Destiny for Africa’s Reverend Obadiah Msindo said :
Everyone in Zimbabwe who has the interests of the nation should never support anything that could degenerate into violence. As was noted in previous demonstrations the opposition organises violent demonstrations.

We witnessed destructive events from the so-called demonstrations. Anything that infringes on the rights of people should not be entertained.

We must maintain peace so that we solve the problems that we face as a country. The church should refuse to be used by people with their own agendas, this has nothing to do with people’s interests. I have seen some pastors, the paid pastors, who are making money out of it, this is a money making project.

All this effort of trying to remove the Government will not work of no use. Lastly why would a responsible opposition call for demonstrations when the country and the world is fighting Covid-19, this is unheard of.

Human Rights Activist and Blogger Alex Magaisa has published an exclusive list of beneficiaries of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe Farm Mechanisation Programme who have not paid back the money they received.

The purpose was to enhance productivity on the farms through mechanisation.

Among the list of the beneficiaries are highly revered members of the Zimbabwean clergy.

The following is the list of published by Magaisa:

Archbishop Ezekiel Guti who is listed as owing US$116,693.00;

Nolbert Kunonga who was very popular with the Mugabe regime at the time of the Farm Mechanisation Scheme was awarded a loan of US$98,661.00.

There is also an Agatha Kunonga who is listed as having received US$58,318.00.

Rutendo Wutawunashe is listed as owing US$18,200.00.

Bishop Nehemiah Mutendi was the biggest beneficiary among members of the clergy, with two loans of US$271,000.00 and US$315,600.00 for a grand total of US$586,600.00.

According to Magaisa none of these men and women of the cloth repaid their loans.

Commenting on the full list, which includes serving and retired government officials, former Minister Kasukuwere said, “Very interesting. These schemes were ill-thought and these quasi-fiscal operations should be stopped. Give farmers title deeds, banks should have Agribusiness divisions and stop these freebies. It’s going to get worse and the rot is massive. Sit back and relax.

“The schemes were designed in very corrupt ways and there was no transparency in the acquisition of the equipment. The RBZ, to be honest, has been at the centre of corruption. I and Patrick Zhuwao opposed this scheme and we protested against it. VP Chiwenga knows it.”

By A Correspondent- Charles and Olivia Charamba’s daughters Shalom and Eternity Charamba have released their debut singles titled Mbiri Yose and Tonamata respectively.

This was revealed by the girls’ father who was speaking to the publication about his daughters’ singles and the massive responses the songs got from the public.

Pastor Charamba said:

We did not anticipate such a massive response and we would like to thank music followers for supporting our daughters in such a big way. It is not often that musicians get such massive response to debut releases.

They have started on a good note and such a response should inspire them to keep the momentum they have set with their singles. They are working on an album that will be released in the near future and they are optimistic that other songs coming after these debut releases will enhance their great entry into the music industry.

We were waiting for the right time to introduce them to the world, but they have been doing music since they were young. We have seen how their interest continued growing and we decided to support them.

They are different in their approach to music, which makes it better because people will be able to differentiate their styles

The girls’ mother Olivia Charamba also gushed about Shalom and Eternity’s talent and said she was proud of their achievement. The Charambas have a recording studio at home and the girls are said to have used that studio to record their music and they were backed by the Fishers Of Men band.

Yesterday MDC Alliance Vice President Tendai Biti scored a major victory for the homeless people of Zimbabwe after arguing on behalf of the Homeless People Confederation against the Minister of Local Government in the Supreme Court resulting in the court ruling that the right to shelter is a justiciable right based on the provisions of the Constitution of the country .

Confirming the landmark ruling on Twitter, Tendai Biti law chambers said they are humbled by the ruling after the complainants were forcibly evicted from their farm.

“We are humbled to have chartered another landmark judgment in our constitutional jurisprudence. Courts have been slow to enforce socio-economic rights so this judgment is the first definitive pronouncement on second-generation rights. We will keep pushing the law to its limits.

“This comes after the appellants challenged the forced evictions perpetrated by the Respondents on State acquired land known as Haydon Farm which hosts the New Park informal settlement which was home to almost a thousand informal settlers.

“This is a welcome judgment, that advances the status of socio-economic rights in Zimbabwe. Falling in line with other growing jurisprudence in African Law.” said the law firm

MDC Alliance Secretary for Local government, Sesel Zvidzai hailed the ruling saying it conforms to one of their key fights as enunciated by Nelson Chamisa early this year.

“This victory pleases us as it is a victory in one of our key fights for 2020 as pronounced by President Nelson Chamisa in January this year: The fight for better livelihoods.”

Zvidzai added that government , through the Ministry of local Government has a key responsibility to enable availability of quality shelter for the people , and not destroy people’s shelter and homes, and should henceforth be compelled to gather resources , from prescribed assets and other sources for massive housing development in unplanned settlements and in rural areas of Zimbabwe.

“This includes setting aside money for research in universities and colleges so that cheaper construction materials can be developed thus making housing more affordable. We have to see concrete steps to reduce the more than 2 million urban Housing waiting list and improvement of the quality of shelter in the rural areas,” he added.

By A Correspondent- Zimbabwe has since the beginning of the year recorded a sharp rise in cases of pellagra, a serious condition that is caused by low levels of niacin, due to either malnutrition or an absorption problem.

The United Nations for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs attributes the spike to malnutrition which results from drought and a worsening economic and humanitarian crisis in the country.

In its latest situation report, the UN agency predicted that pellagra cases will keep rising as hunger deepens. Reads the report in part:

The number of reported pellagra cases has continued to increase in Zimbabwe, with 831 cases recorded from January to May 2020, doubling from 400 cases over the same period last year.

Pellagra cases are likely to increase as food insecurity in the country deepens and household income for accessing diversified diets continues to be depleted by the economic crisis.

Statistics provided by Bulawayo City Council’s health department on Wednesday indicate that Bulawayo recorded 10 pellagra cases in June up from eight in May.

The government and its stakeholders, including the Word Foo Programme (WFP), concur that about half of the national population is in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.

Another 58 Zimbabweans were confirmed infected with Covid-19 yesterday, 48 of them being infected within Zimbabwe, taking the total to 1 420, with another death, a 19-year-old Bulawayo man with other medical conditions, taking the death toll to 24.

But 32 of the local infections were from a known contact of the sick people, leaving only 16 to have the source traced.

The rapid rise in local infections has seen the total of community infections reach 654, compared to the 766 people infected outside the country, who tested positive in quarantine on their return to Zimbabwe.

Bulawayo is the most seriously hit province, with 411 of the 654 local infections recorded in that city and 11 of the 24 deaths. Of yesterday’s 48 local infections, more than half, 27, were from Bulawayo, according to the latest figures from the Ministry of Health and Child Care.

Harare has 151 of the local infections, Mashonaland East 46, Matabeleland South 19, Midlands nine, Matabeleland North and Manicaland five each, Mashonaland West four, and Mashonaland Central and Masvingo two each.

Recoveries continue to rise with 438 people now confirmed cleared of infection and able to now return to their normal lives.The rising rate of infection means that only 30 percent of cases are now cleared, either by recovery or death, leaving 958 active cases.

The latest available figures from South Africa show 4 669 deaths and 165 591 recoveries from 324 221 confirmed cases. With infection rates starting to slow, more than half all infected South Africans are now recovered. The global totals are 592 573 deaths and 7 779 604 recoveries from 13 885 746 confirmed cases.

The number of cases is seen as a significant underestimate since in several countries not all sick people are tested. The three most severely hit countries are USA, with 3 677 453 cases and 140 888 deaths, Brazil with 2 014 738 cases and 76 822 deaths and India with 1003 832 cases and 25 602 deaths.

By A Correspondent- The former Police Chief Augustine Chihuri’s corruption case has exposed gross levels of rot at the PGHQ as police officers are testifying that documents were destroyed, doctored and or disappeared in what might pass on as a way to conceal corruption at the country’s law enforcement headquarters.

The matter came to light as the National Prosecuting Authority is building a case against Augustine Chihuri who it claims siphoned public funds into his companies and is seeking a court order to forfeit his assets.

A police officer, Constable Ellison Mutivayo in a sworn affidavit has said he was given an order to type an order to destroy 20 selected documents in 2017.

According to ZBC, these documents which were at the PGHQ were destroyed after police bosses ordered that they be destroyed:

1. Some of the documents which were doctored and burnt include records for Mastaw Investments where Chihuri was a manager and his wife Isobel was managing director. Chihuri’s brother-in-law Aitken Khan was operations manager for the same company.
2. Documents for Croxile Investments where Isobel was general manager were, according to the investigations, allegedly tampered with.
3. Other records for Adamah Enterprises and Nodpack Investments where Isobel was general manager were also reportedly destroyed, Adamah had the tender to supply cap drab, blue hats for female officers and clothing material.
4. Documents for Rewstand Enterprises owned by Mrs Abigail Billie Makono, wife of a top police officer Assistant Commissioner Makono and her sister Beaula Billie, were also allegedly tampered with. Rewstand had the tender to supply tents and clothing material.

According to the publication, an officer Constable John Shoko said he was ordered to pluck out some pages from the goods received register which were then destroyed by fire.

Another police officer, Sergeant Tamirirashe Matutu, who once worked at the buying office, fingered one officer Supritendent  Munemo and said he visited their office and asked for files in respect of Rewstand, Adamah, Mastaw, Nodpack and Croxile which he took to his office: He came back and took used up goods received registers from the safe where they were kept. He also took another goods received register from receipt bay section to his office. After an hour, he came back with pages which had entries of receipts in respect of the above mentioned companies, folded and marked while others were detached.

He gave us blank pages of the registers and instructed us to rewrite the entries excluding those for the above mentioned companies which were left blank. Those blank spaces were filled in with false information and later cancelled.

Supt Munemo then took the registers and asked Cst Shoko to accompany him to Police Printers for rebinding. All this happened when the overall officer-in-charge Chief Inspector Gavaza was on occasional leave.

Another police officer, Assistant Inspector Nelson Phiri in yet another affidavit, said he actually saw one of his colleagues rewriting the registers and he said he had been instructed by Superintendent Munemo to rewrite the registers:

… noted that pages which had entries and information of the aforementioned companies had been plucked out and replaced by newly re-written pages. The books had been bound anew to appear as if everything was still intact,

By A Correspondent- A 11 year old teenager got shocked when she woke up to find her 16-year-old stepbrother in her blankets naked making sexual moves on her.

A family member who spoke to B-Metro on condition of anonymity said the girl was asleep alone in her bedroom when her stepbrother tip-toed into her bedroom at around 1am last Friday.

The relative said: “She was awoken by a heavy weight of her naked brother who was caressing her while making sexual moves on her. She screamed for help and her naked brother tried to flee but her twin brother intercepted him.”

The relative went on to say they led him to the living room and tied him with a rope.

“He tried to flee but they caught up with him and pinned him on the ground. They tied him with a rope while the mother of the victim and a cousin rushed to a police station where they made a police report leading to his arrest,” said a relative.

The minor was referred to a hospital where she was treated.

In another related incident Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube said a woman in Nkulumane suburb was attacked with an unspecified weapon before she was raped at around 8pm last week on Thursday while she was heading home.

Inspector Ncube expressed worry at the rising cases of rape in Bulawayo.

“Parents and guardians should take keen interest in the protection of their children during daytime and evening. Parents should teach their children to report any one who touches them or does some strange things on them. It is worrying that rape cases are on the rise in Bulawayo, as such I would like to urge parents and police to join hands and come up with strategies on how to fight the rape scourge,” he said.

A copy of a memorandum purported to be from Chief Justice Luke Malaba to other judges suggests that judges now have to show their judgments to heads of courts before they hand them down.

The memorandum claims the directive was triggered by the manner in which orders are being handed.

We present the memorandum below.

HONOURABLE MHURI J

HONOURABLE MANDEYA J

CC: SECRETARY – JUDICIAL SERVICE COMMISSION

ALL REGISTRARS

RE: DIRECTIVE ON HANDING DOWN AND DISTRIBUTION OF JUDGMENTS AND ORDERS

1. The above matter refers.
2. Following concerns raised about the manner in which judgments are handled after being handed down it is hereby directed as follows:

i. No judgment should be handed down when it is not yet ready to be distributed.

ii. Once a judgment is handed down it shall not be withdrawn for any reason. Handing down of a judgment is evidence that the judgment is ready for access by the parties and members of the public.

iii. All judgments handed down must be immediately accessible to the Registrars. litigants and the public.

iv. Before a judgment or an order of the High Court or Labour Court is issued or handed down, it should be seen and approved by the head of court or division.

v. The practice of issuing orders with the undertaking that reasons will follow is to be desisted from forthwith. Only the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court can issue such orders as they are courts with final jurisdiction. The only exception is when a Judge will be dealing with a point in limine. Such an order will be appropriate as it enables the court to expeditiously finalise the main matter.

vi. For the avoidance of doubt, it is proper for a Judge when dealing with a point in limine to give an order and advise that the reasons will be stated in the main judgment.

vii. Where a Judge decides to issue an order in an ex tempore judgment, he or she must ensure that the reasons given are comprehensive on the understanding that they will be accessible to the parties, the Registrar and members of the public.

3. All heads of courts are advised to bring this information to the attention of all Judges.

MDC Alliance spokesperson Fadzayi Mahere has described the move by the state to search Econet and Cassava offices and seize full subscribers’ details as a “far-reaching breach of privacy.”

Police on Friday executed a search and seizure warrant at Money Laundering-accused Econet Wireless and Cassava’s main offices in Harare.

Posting on Twitter, Mahere said:

“Full subscriber details” of each user means they have your name, cellphone number, address and all EcoCash records for the relevant period. This is a far-reaching breach of privacy. Imagine what @PoliceZimbabwe can do in this authoritarian environment with such extensive data.

By A Correspondent- A senior lecturer at Lupane State University (LSU) has been accused of allegedly demanding sex from students in return for university-facilitated trips that pay up to US$30 a day in allowances.

Dr Thulani Dube is the Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences and also senior advisor of the University Christian Union. Dube worships at a city church and holds a senior position.

A student that he was allegedly having ‘‘sexcapades’’ with before their love turned sour said Dube would select female students that he targeted to be in between the sheets with, and a few male students.

“Most of the students that he pounces on are in the Climate Change Club who work with him as research assistants. He would select female students that he targets to have sexual sojourns with and a few male students. He would propose love during the trip. It becomes difficult to turn down his sexual advances because of fear of being dropped from the next trip and losing out on the US$30 per day. That is equivalent to someone’s salary,” she said.

The student revealed that two students (names supplied) raised a red flag about the issue after he dropped them from the trips.

“Two students who complained to him about his sexual affairs with other students were dropped from the trips,” said the student.

The student alleged Dr Dube was involved in affairs with four students who have benefited from conferences like the Climate Change Conference and Climate Change Research Project.

B-Metro is in possession of chats Dr Dube allegedly exchanged with one of the students, Elaine, who is pursuing a Development Studies Degree.

In the chats in which the lecturer complained that a friend was spreading rumours that he was madly in love with a student on attachment, the two chat about meeting and enjoying each other’s company and also ensuring that their secret was not known to a Phiri as “the whole university will know”.

Elaine strongly denied that she was involved in a sexual relationship with Dube: “I’m not in a relationship with him and if you write that I will sue you.”

When this reporter told her that this publication was in possession of the chats she exchanged with Dr Dube she said: “Where can we meet? I want to see the chats. I can’t come to your workplace.”

Another student who is privy to Dr Dube’s shenanigans said one of the female students was even seen driving his car.

“One of the students was seen driving his car around campus during the weekend because most of the students would have travelled to Bulawayo,” the student said.

B-Metro contacted Dr Dube on Monday last week but he terminated the calls and ignored WhatsApp messages sent to him.

On the following day he responded through a WhatsApp message: “The truth is this is a politically-motivated story. There is no truth at all behind it. As you may be aware the university Pro-Vice Chancellor (name supplied) is moving to Gwanda State University. The next line of leadership to fill up the gap is at my level. There is a group of people who have come up with a strategy to soil my name for a position I’m not even interested in.”

He added:

“They are keen to ensure that my reputation is destroyed so that I don’t compete for this post. The issue is that I’m entangled in a political storm where stories are created to soil my name. The people that know me will know if there is substance or not to the story. In short I know nothing about the story.”

Last week B-Metro tried to get a comment about the chats he exchanged with Elaine but he ignored the messages sent to him and he would terminate calls.

On Tuesday B-Metro managed to get hold of him through his wife’s phone and he said: “I responded in a chat. I don’t have a comment.”

When this reporter probed further he said:

“You will get a response from my lawyers.”

Asked for the contact details of the lawyers so that the reporter could get a comment from them he said: “I will not give you the cellphone number of my lawyer, please ngicela utshiyane lami (Please leave me alone).”

By A Correspondent- The misery of a Bulawayo man who forced-marched his wife to the house of a local prophet she had allegedly consulted to make him fail to sustain an erection each time he tried to have s_ex with his mistresses ended when his shrunk manhood was brought to life.

The embarrassed man only identified as Manjoro, caused quite a stir about a fortnight ago when he stormed Prophet Mduduzi Dube, popularly known as Black Elisha’s house demanding to meet him while complaining that he had rendered him impotent in bed by “locking” his privates at the instigation of his jealous wife.

But the restoration of his sexual agility reportedly came with a strict condition that his equipment should be used to entertain his wife ONLY.

It emerged that Manjoro approached Black Elisha, founder of the Christ Life Generation Church in Old Magwegwe, after suspecting his livid wife of consulting the latter to curse his manhood.

After the curse his manhood reportedly refused to report for duty whenever he wanted to have sex with his mistresses.

In performing the locking ritual, Black Elisha reportedly instructed Manjoro’s wife to bring a padlock and her husband’s underwear. This was designed to render her husband’s organ unable to perform on any other woman except her.

According to a source, Black Elisha “confessed” on Saturday last week during a mountain prayer service that he “reversed” Manjoro’s bedroom humiliation using his “Spiritual Padlock” healing.

“He told all the congregants that accompanied him to a mountain prayer service that the man who had visited him at his house to reverse the curse which he had administered on his manhood had received his miracle for his manhood to function well again but on his wife only,” said the source.

The source said Black Elisha who is now popular with his “Spiritual Padlock” healing sternly charged Manjoro that if ever he tried to bed another woman his amorous ways would be tamed for life.

When B-Metro visited Black Elisha’s house in Mpopoma suburb, there was a handful of people mostly women waiting to see him. They were, however, too shy to be identified.

Black Elisha who refused to reveal the secret behind his “Spiritual Padlock” healing told B-Metro that it was God’s power that “healed” Manjoro.

“This is the gift I got from God. I don’t use juju but only anointing water. His (Manjoro) erection problem was resolved after I prayed for him. This is also a sign that besides healing people of different ailments, I’m also providing stability in homes. Despite the numerous temptations, couples should remain faithful and loyal to each other,” warned Black Elisha.

He, however, refused to disclose Manjoro’s contact details saying confidentiality was central to the preservation of trust between prophets and their clients.

Black Elisha is, however, no stranger to controversy.

He sparked controversy late last year when he sensationally prophesied that he had seen a vision of two local “prominent” prophets falling from grace after being haunted by allegations of adultery.

JEALOUSY MAWARIRE REBUKES TALENT CHIWENGA OVER ACCIDENT CLAIMS

1) We note, with concern, the attempt, by Talent Chiwenga’s church, to assume the duty of the police, VID & even the courts, to preside over a matter, that surely shld be b4 the courts since the accident claimed 3 lives.

2)While we are not experts in analysing accidents,we note,in the church statement,a deliberate omission of a huge contribution to that head-on collision, which is the absence of clear markings at the Norton tollgate of the transitioning from a single carriage into a dual carriage

3)No attempt was made,in the interest of fairness & safety of other road users today,to explain that while the Byo-Hre road dualisation is starting at the Norton tollgate, the tollgate covers only the old section, hence when travelling from Byo,the rd is a single carriage meaning

4)when one is driving from Byo u get into the tollgate on a single carriage but exit the tollgate already in a dual carriage meaning automatically the lane u were using from Byo becomes a wrong lane just at the tollgate exit.There are no carriage marks to indicate this transition

5)There are no barricades to avoid traffic from Bulawayo proceeding through a wrong lane. This is information the Norton traffic police gave to family members of those who were involved in the accident & am sure the church got that info as well.

6) This info wasn’t given, just to explain how the accident happened, but also to warn us when travelling to the scene to avoid a similar collision. When we went to the scene around 10pm, the police insisted we drove to the extreme left to avoid the fate that befell our relatives

7)As a family,thru a relative in the parliamentary portifolio committee on transport, we raised a complaint to the Min of Transport on the lack of clear transitioning markings at the tollgate.While this wld not help our already deceased relatives, it will help the motoring public

8) In the presence of such information, we wonder why the church, a supposedly religious & charitable organisation, deliberately, or otherwise, doesn’t inform the public of that info which even the Norton traffic police is complaining about. As a family we also believe

9)the church shld have contacted us as a bereaved family,if not to convey their condolences,but to inform us of allegations they’re now laying against our deceased relatives. My bro who was driving the white car had his drivers licence on him & a phone police used to contact us

10)I also posted here that the person involved in the accident was my brother & if the church is making allegations against him, it is really fair that they contact us since he is no longer alive to answer to their allegations.

11) It is quite unfair to suggest that an educationist, owner of Prestige Secondary & Primary schools in Bulawayo, his wife & a Harare lawyer, Mr Makopa, who also perished in the accident, were on a suicidal mission to harm Chiwenga & kill themselves in the process.

12)Such allegations r not only callous,but do not even rise to the level of nonsense. As a family we have also registered disquiet, as to why a driver involved in a fatal accident was immediately extracted from the accident scene by non-medical staff b4 police attended the scene.

13) My brother, his wife & Mr Makopa were taken alive to Norton Hospital & Mr Makopa was then transferred to Harare where he unfortunately passed on early Tues while my brother & his wife unfortunately succumbed to injuries while being attended to at Norton hospital.

14)While we r not legal experts, we’re just surprised why the driver of the other car was wisked away from the accident scene “by a well-wisher” & also question the legality of such an act. Ordinarily that wouldn’t have concerned us but it matters when same driver, on the night

15)of the accident,was in a state of mind to begin circulating infor alleging our relatives, who passed on in the accident involving the car he was driving,were state security agents after his life.We r also interested, as he is,to know the identity of the car & driver he alleges

16)was chasing him from Kuwadzana roundabout, caz that detail has effect on the way he was driving & consequently the head-on collision & the failure, by the 2 drivers, to avoid an imminent collision. We are also interested to know why he didn’t drive into either

17) Kuwadzana or Norton police stations to alert Police cars revolving light that he was being trailed? We are of the opinion such a measure would have helped him avoid collision with our relative & may be our relative cld have met other responsible drivers to alert him he was on the wrong lane.

18)While it wldnt have helped us or our deceased relatives we also believe, as part of ubuntu, the driver of the car involved in the accident with our deceased relatives, shld have contacted us since we understand he is alive. We had to know who he was thru his social media rants

19) and a piece of paper we found around the wreckages which I attach here. We thought it was in his interest, as is ours, to know the parties involved in the accident b4 his rantings on social media. A young lawyer’s life was lost in the accident, Presige group of schools lost

20) two directors in the accident & families lost breadwinners, relatives & friends in that unfortunate accident & were expected responsible citizens, let alone supposed church pple, guided by the Spirit of Truth, to act responsibly & not use the demise of our relatives

21)to feed into their paranoia & conspiracy theories. My brother & his wife were travelling for the burial of our sister on Tuesday morning when they met their deaths Monday evening & as a family we ended up with 3 bodies to bury. That alone took a huge toll on us emotionally

22)the least we expected from a party to the Collision symbol was to act responsibly after contacting our family.But since we’re different beings with different aspects, temperaments, psychological & mental states, we have no choice but to live with extremities & absurdities life threw on us.

23) While we don’t want to be conspiracy theorists like Chiwenga & his church, we are naturally bound to ask why Talent Chiwenga is always involved in fatal road traffic accidents where 3 people die.Last year it was his wife,Mai Vhurumuku & a church member, this year it’s my bro

24)his wife & a harare lawyer. In normal jurisdictions,the mental state, driving competency & psychological disposition of a common denominator in such fatal accidents is investigated,we can’t have a single being competing with Covid-19 in killing pple thru road traffic accidents

You cant stoop so low to defend the accident whose circumstances you do not understand! Please desist from this tendency of making everyone who speaks against Emmanuel Makandiwa a Target! Let Makandiwa Fight his own Wars. This is pathetic and embarrassing from you!

Ministry of Information secretary, Nick Mangwana says two brothers who returned recently from South Africa have infected eight family members with coronavirus after escaping from the NSSA quarantine centre in Beitbridge.

“Wiseman Ngwenya and Morgan Ngwenya absconded from Beatrice quarantine centre and went home to Madulo Village in Ward 1,” Mangwana said.

“Yesterday (Thursday), tests were done on their family members. Eight out of 18 family members tested positive. These are children below 10 years save for one who is 15 years.”

Mangwana added; “(In) Masvingo, 14 Malawians who had been quarantined at Mushagashe (Training Centre) were repatriated to Malawi yesterday (Thursday). Twelve had been intercepted by police at Nyanda Block along the Harare-Beitbridge Highway. Four had been intercepted at Gokomere when their truck broke down. Two escaped from Mushagashe.”

“The threat to our existence is real, in Gweru, we have 26 contacts to a deceased patient who was admitted at a local hospital for another ailment but later tested positive to Covid-19. Tests are being carried out to ascertain the status of the contacts,” added Mangwana.

State Media

A Zimbabwe Prison and Correctional Service (ZPCS) officer on night duty at Whawha Medium Prison allegedly plunged to his death from a guard tower that is over 30 metres high.

Sources said Correctional Officer Grade 1 Joseph Makwenya fell from the tower between 3AM and 6AM yesterday.

Prison sources said no one knows what really happened as his lifeless body was only discovered around 6AM by another correctional officer who had gone to the tower to take over watch duty.

The source said CO Makwenya’s head had a crack and there were blood clots on the ground.

ZPCS national spokesperson Superintendent Meya Khanyezi said investigations into the death were underway.

“I can confirm that we lost a correctional service officer from Whawha Medium Prison who allegedly died while on duty at the guard tower. His lifeless body was discovered yesterday morning by fellow officers. We are awaiting post mortem results and we have since launched our own investigations to understand what happened,” said Supt Khanyezi.

She said ZPCS had lost a dedicated officer.

“We are so saddened by this occurrence; we lost a dedicated officer and we want to know what happened. Our deepest condolences go to his wife and kids,” said Supt Khanyezi.

ZPCS sources said CO Makwenya was alone when he made his way to the guard tower to take on his duties.

They said the tower is steep and he could have slipped and fell to his death.

“It was around 3AM when he made his way to the guard tower. We don’t know what happened from that time until his body was discovered around 6AM some three hours later by another correctional officer who was supposed to relieve him and take over the watch tower duties.”

Independent

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa has instructed Treasury to urgently buy a fleet of brand new vehicles for the police, including all-terrain troop carriers, water cannons, buses and equipment used by riot police.

This urgent procurement request comes as the restive population gears for the July 31 demonstrations organised by the opposition to protest against corruption.

Senior government officials told the Zimbabwe Independent this week that Mnangagwa, in a top-level meeting on Tuesday, instructed Ncube during a fiery debate on how to contain the Covid-19 pandemic to arm and equip the police so that they can effectively enforce the restriction measures.

Covid-19 cases have increased sharply in recent weeks, prompting public health experts to warn that the country was hitting a peak characterised by higher mortality and rising infection numbers.

Official sources said soon after Vice-President Kembo Mohadi — who chairs the national Covid-19 taskforce — presented a gloomy report, Mnangagwa asked Home Affairs minister Kazembe Kazembe why the police were failing to effectively enforce the level two lockdown rules.

Mnangagwa, the sources said, expressed concern over the flooding of streets in major cities and towns, against the restrictive measures which prohibit “unnecessary movements”.

Kazembe is said to have replied that from his engagements with Zimbabwe Republic Police bosses, it had emerged that police were hampered from enforcing the lockdown rules by a lack of vehicles and fuel.

“Basically, there was an intense discussion over the proliferation of Covid-19 cases in the country over the past few weeks. All members agreed that the current level two was not sustainable and we needed to be stricter in enforcing the lockdown if we are to avoid a total catastrophe. Everyone blamed the police for the failure since people are now moving around so freely as if there is no deadly pandemic in our midst,” an official said.

“So as this discussion went on, the President himself took issue with Kazembe and asked him to explain what the problem really was. Mnangagwa said from what is obtaining on the ground, it appears there is general fatigue in terms of efforts to fight the spread of the coronavirus. People are not following the lockdown rules and are highly mobile.

“In his response, Kazembe told the meeting that he has held meetings with senior police officers over the same concerns in the past two weeks and one thing which they have consistently raised as being the biggest hindrance was the shortage of vehicles and lack of fuel. He said ZRP bosses have indicated to him that they are relying on a handful of old trucks which suffer frequent breakdowns.

“He also said they indicated that they were in need of a new fleet of smaller cars in addition to trucks as well as related crowd control equipment in the event some turn rogue. Kazembe also told the meeting that the ZRP bosses indicated in their meetings that, in addition to the vehicles, they would also require constant supplies of fuel in order to be able to move around.

“So after he had spoken at length, the President then gave an instruction to Finance minister Mthuli Ncube to treat the matter as a case of emergency and avail funds for the purchase of the vehicles for the police and related equipment which allows them to enforce the lockdown regulations more efficiently. He (Mnangagwa) was saying it’s better to spend on these vehicles if they are going to help save lives. He also indicated that the informal sector will soon be closed since it has been identified as the biggest driver of Covid-19 cases.”

Officials further said consultations have already begun to establish how many vehicles the police would require and determine the amount of money to be released by Treasury.

Mnangagwa’s administration has been widely criticised for its misplaced priorities in terms of expenditure.

It continues to splurge millions of United States dollars on luxury vehicles for ministers, legislators, army officials and senior bureaucrats.

According to another source, Mnangagwa also took to task the Minister of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare, Paul Mavima over the situation in public hospitals and clinics, which are virtually deserted because of a long-running strike by nurses and doctors.

The government tried to appease health workers, along with the rest of its workforce, by increasing their monthly salaries by 50%, in addition to a monthly US$75 Covid-19 allowance for three months. Civil servants’ representatives rejected the offer as paltry and vowed to press on with the strike.

“Mnangagwa basically wanted to know why it was taking too long for Mavima to conclude the tripartite negotiations so that things can start moving. He indicated that government only offered them the US dollar allowance because he hoped that by then the TNF (Tripartite Negotiating Forum) negotiations would have been concluded,” the official said.

Mavima reportedly said in response that the negotiations between the government, labour and business are ongoing and would hopefully conclude soon.

“The minister said we are still in negotiations and an agreement was yet to be reached. He said he was still negotiating with civil servants’ representatives and hoped to conclude those negotiations as soon as possible,” the source said.

POLICE and other security services are tightening enforcement of the existing lockdown regulations following the spike in local infections, with special attention already seen on dealing with face-mask wearing, unnecessary movement and unlawful gatherings such as backyard parties.

There has been a rapid increase of people infected within Zimbabwe which spiked to 654, when before the last fortnight almost all confirmed cases were of people infected outside the country and those who were tested in quarantine centres.

In a statement yesterday, national police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi urged the public to cooperate.

“The police are disturbed by the number of people who are being arrested for failing to wear face-masks, making unnecessary movements and unlawful gatherings.”

AsstComm Nyathi said on Thursday,about 478people were arrested for violating lockdown measures, with the majority, 304, arrested for failing to wear face masks.

“There is an increase in the number of people in the high density surbubs with shebeens and backyard beer drinking binges becoming commonplace.”

Meanwhile, Asst Comm Nyathi said since June 1, a total of 79 cross border truck drivers were arrested for contravention of national lockdown regulations.

The total number of people reported escaping from quarantine centres is now 268 while those arrested remain at 29.

He called on everyone to play a role minimising the spread of the pandemic. The number of people arrested for violating lockdown regulation has topped the 100 000 mark with most of the people having paid admission of guilt fines ranging between $200 and $500.

A total of 101 845 people have been arrested for lockdown-related offences since the lockdown began.

Harare is topping the list with 20 970 arrests followed by Manicaland with 19 634 and Bulawayo with 15 034.

Police are also targeting illegal passenger services. So far, 2 534 pirate kombis and mushika-shika have been impounded countrywide for carrying paying passengers in defiance of the lockdown regulations and 78 truck drivers arrested for carrying passengers.

By Masimba Mavaza- A very sad day ended badly for the Madzingira family in Harare.  A couple was killed in a car crash while driving to a funeral of their sister who had passed on suddenly in Harare Zimbabwe.

Sam Madzingira was coming from Bulawayo to Harare for the funeral of his sister Mrs Felistas Dimairo who had passed on after few hours of complaining of dizziness.

Mr Sam Madzingira was driving a Mercedes Benz C class series when his car was involved in a head on collusion with The Controversial Prophet Talent Chiwenga just after the Norton Toll gate towards Harare.

Watch the live video loading below as Norton MP Temba Mliswa speaks on the accident which occured in his constituency……

Their car collided with a Landrover Discovery being driven by Talent Chiwenga killing them both on the scene.

Sam Madzingira has founded several schools which he was operating under a trust Turnup Enterprises, he was a director.  His school had classes up to A level enrolling over a thousand students per year.

Madzingira oversaw a construction equipped well with the teachers’ staff rooms, headmaster/deputy headmaster’s office, reception, pupils’ toilets and classroom blocks already complete. The school’s construction project is being bankrolled by Madzingira’s Turnup study pack and it has become a state of the art school. 

This New Bulawayo secondary school, Prestige High, in Cowdray Park suburb, opened its doors in January 2015. Madzingira was the school’s founder. Talking in 2015 Turnup Enterprises director Sam Madzingira, said the school would have nine blocks with three classes each.

The school, which will go up to A-Level, will accommodate up to 720 pupils.

Madzingira started building the school in September 2013 and over $300,000 had been used so far for the construction. It was completed by January 2014.

Madzingira and his wife were merging onto a highway from the toll gate they collided with a car being driven by the self proclaimed prophet Mr Talent Chiwenga who quickly blamed the CIO for his accident.

Without verifying the issues Talent Chiwenga flooded the social media with rhetoric and shameless accusations accusing The educationist Madzingira for being CIO.

“Those two Madzingira and his wife Only wanted one thing that they wanted to educate every Zimbabwean. The two of them had so many dreams. Mr Madzingira had hoped to open a University and impart knowledge and deliver education to as many people as possible.

Mr Mpofu a parent of a student from Madzingira’s school fumed and said ” these false prophets like Chiwenga must be ashamed of themselves. Chiwenga should have known better before he rushed to the press and social media accusing Madzingira and his wife to be CIOs.

Mrs Nodumo Siza a former officer in the president’s office said Zimbabwean intelligence service will never sacrifice officers for Talent.

Talent Chiwenga is the incarnation of the devil.  He is vile and an attention seeking liar. God should have shown him that the people he killed were just a bereaved couple on their way to the funeral

Madzingira and wife died at the scene. The man driving the Land Rover was unharmed. It is a shame that he flooded the social media with self aggrandising paranoiac statements.

“The Madzingira family witnessed their own worst nightmare,” “That’s an image that will haunt them for the rest of their lives.” Said Silas Mbambo who was the first to attend the accident.

“I won’t forget it. It will never go away. I will see that truck hit the Merc spinning it around and killing them every night of my life, the rest of the time that I’m on earth.”

Mr Madzingira and his wife were buried yesterday in Zaka SVINA Village under Chief Benzi. while Mrs Dimairo was buried in Harare on Tuesday.

A nine-month-old baby from Maphisa in Matabeleland South Province who allegedly travelled to Bulawayo with her mother last week has died of Covid-19, becoming the first child in the country to succumb to the virus.

The baby was admitted to Maphisa District Hospital last Friday with severe pneumonia and died the following day.

It was only discovered that she had succumbed to Covid-19 after her death through a post-mortem and was buried on Wednesday at the family’s rural home in Silawa, Maphisa.

Preliminary investigations by the Ministry of Health and Child Care have shown that the child travelled to Bulawayo with her mother some time last week.

The mother who lives in Garikai Houses in Maphisa has now been placed under isolation at her home.

Matabeleland South Provincial Medical Director, Dr Rudo Chikodzore said this was the first Covid-19 related death of a child recorded in the country.

“As Matabeleland South Province we recorded a Covid-19 death of a nine-month-old female baby from Maphisa area in Matobo District.

“The child died on Saturday at Maphisa District Hospital after she was admitted with severe pneumonia. A post-mortem was then conducted and it revealed that the child had succumbed to Covid-19. These results came in yesterday (Tuesday),” said Dr Chikodzore.

“Investigations have shown that the child travelled to Bulawayo some time last week and upon returning she fell ill. This is a local transmission case. We have started making follow ups and we have informed authorities in Bulawayo and we are making follow ups to find the addresses of the people they visited while in Bulawayo.

“We are also tracing contacts within the local community. We have been recording cases of children testing positive for the pandemic across the country but this is the first death.”

In a statement released on Tuesday night, the Ministry of Health and Child Care said it regretted the baby’s death.

A senior health official who has been directly handling the matter said they have been struggling to get information from the bereaved family as they have not been co-operative. He said the authenticity of some of the information is questionable.

The official also said members of the family were also giving contradicting explanations on issues surrounding the death of the baby and the travel history.

“This family has been giving us problems when it comes to supplying us with information as they are not forthcoming.

“It might take us longer to gather all the details as we also have to consider that this is a bereaved family and we have to be patient with them,” said the official on condition of anonymity.

The mother of the late child said her daughter was buried under strict supervision by Ministry of Health and Child Care officers and there were about 20 people. She said the burial was conducted in line with the Covid-19 regulations.

The woman said she had been placed under isolation at her home for the next 14 days, but had not yet been tested for Covid-19.

She said she was advised to contact health officials once she experiences any pain.

The bereaved mother said she however, does not believe that her child succumbed to Covid-19 as reported by health officials.

She also said they had not travelled to Bulawayo as alleged.

“My child was born with an asthma problem and when I took her to hospital, she had experienced an asthma attack. Unfortunately, she died the following day and all I know is that it was because of an asthma attack and not Covid-19.

“I don’t understand how my child could have contracted this virus as we have not been mobile since the outbreak was reported and the lockdown was introduced,” she said.

“We stay in Maphisa and that’s where we have remained over the past months without travelling.

“We last travelled to Bulawayo before the lockdown came into effect. My husband has been away for some time.

“I don’t understand how they could say my child succumbed to the pandemic. I’m not aware that my child was tested for Covid-19 or that a post-mortem was conducted.”

Chief Justice Luke Malaba has instructed High Court and Labour Court judges to submit to his office all judgements before they are handed down.

The move has attracted backlash on social media with people expressing concern that this could be used to take away Judges independence.

Read Malaba’s circular below:

Following concerns raised about the manner in which judgments are handled after being handed down it is hereby directed as follows:

i. No judgment should be handed down when it is not yet ready to be distributed.

ii, Once a judgment is handed down it shall not be withdrawn for any reason. Handing down of a judgment is evidence that the judgment is ready for access by the parties and members of the public.

iii. All judgments handed down must be immediately accessible to the Registrars, litigants and the public.

iv. Before a judgment or an order of the High Court or Labour Court is issued or handed down, it should be seen and approved by the head of court or Division.

v. The practice of issuing orders with the undertaking that reasons will follow is to be desisted from forthwith. Only the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court can issue such orders as they are courts with final jurisdiction. The only exception is when a Judge will be dealing with a point in limine. Such an order will be appropriate as it enables the court to expeditiously finalise the main matter.

vi. For the avoidance of doubt, it is proper for a Judge when dealing with a point in limine to give an order and advise that the reasons will be stated in the main judgment.

vii. Where a Judge decides to issue an order in an ex tempore judgment, he or she must ensure that the reasons given are  comprehensive on the understanding that they will be accessible to the parties, the Registrar and members of the public.

3. All heads of courts are advised to bring this information to the attention of all Judges.

By A Correspondent- A 51 year old Glendale man was sentenced to 16 years in jail by Bindura regional magistrate Gloria Takundwa on Thursday after he was caught raping his 12-year-old neighbour.

Moses Jimu of Major Brown farm, Glendale will spend 13 years effective after the magistrate conditionally suspended 3 years.

Prosecutor Ngoni Kaseke told the court that sometime in November last year the rapist called the complainant to his house and raped her before buying her silence with $2 bond.

The matter came to light on November 24 when the complainant’s uncle received a tip-off that  Jimu had called the complainant in his house.

The uncle stormed in the house and caught Jimu pants down raping the complainant.

He escorted the complainant to the police station leading to the arrest of Jimu.

The complainant was medically examined at Concession hospital.

ZANU PF acting deputy secretary for Youth Affairs Tendai Chirau has hailed President Mnangagwa, for the measures his administration is taking to curb the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Speaking at a national executive meeting of the Youth League in Harare yesterday, Chirau said the measures, which include various levels of lockdowns and other strict restrictions, demonstrated astute leadership that was sensitive to the need to preserve life.

Chirau’s sentiments come as the country’s Covid-19 cases are shooting up on a daily basis and deaths increasing. As of Friday, goverment recorded the national tally at 1420 with 21 deaths.

He said while Government and the ruling party continued to encourage citizens to take preventative measures to combat Covid-19, the ultimate responsibility to prevent the pandemic lay with every Zimbabwean.

“To this end, I encourage all Zimbabweans to embrace lockdown measures put in place by Government for these measures are meant to protect the masses. The Youth League will also not stand by and watch lockdown measures being violated and I urge all our members to report all persons who violate lockdown measures,” said Cde Chirau.

“The Covid-19 pandemic brings new and unique livelihood challenges for young people.

“It is critical that as revolutionary members of the party, the youth remain united and continue to work together in shaping the desired destiny of our generation.

“The seriousness of this disease outbreak compels us to think outside the box and even imagine our further progress without the box, as we adapt to new realities and possibilities.

Virtual meetings, for instance, are just a tip of the iceberg in terms of the new approaches and mechanisms for survival and development we have the potential to exploit.

The league warned opposition parties against destabilising the country by planning illegal demonstrations.

“We are more than doubly aware that these attempts to cause mayhem in the country are part of a broader sponsored regime change strategy that has in the past, yielded nothing but violence,” said Chirau adding that the only acceptable path to political power in Zimbabwe was through elections.

A large group of streets in Bulawayo, Bindura, Chegutu, Chipinge, Gweru, Harare, Masvingo and Mutare, largely named after colonial figures have had their names changed yesterday to national heroes or leaders of countries allied to the liberation movements.

The changes were gazetted by the Minister of Local Government and Public Works, July Moyo in Statutory Instrument 167 of 2020.

The change of names follows a Cabinet decision that was made last year in November.

Notable among the changes is the renaming of Enterprise Road in Harare to Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa Road.

VIEW COMPLETE LIST HERE

Besides Enterprise Road being named after President Mnangagwa, roads in other towns now bear Mnangagwa’s name.

They include Sixth Avenue in Bulawayo, A5 Road in Kwekwe, Main Street in Gweru, Chipinge Main Street, Etherton Road in Bindura, Edgar Peacock Road in Mutare, Henry Hartley Road in Chegutu and Hughes Street in Masvingo.

Some of the streets whose names changed in Harare are Speke Avenue, which changed to Agostinho Neto Avenue, Angwa Street to Sir Seretse Khama Street, Third Street to Patrice Lumumba Street, Rezende Street to Julia Zvobgo Street, Selous Avenue to John Landa Nkomo Avenue, Cameron Street to Joseph Msika Street, while the stretch from Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport to Manyame Air Base is now called Josiah Tungamirai Drive, and Kirkman Drive is now known as Solomon Mujuru Drive.

In Bulawayo, the stretch from Fourth Avenue through to Seventh Street up to King George has been renamed John Landa Nkomo Avenue, Collenbrander Avenue is now Lookout Masuku Avenue and Victoria Falls Road is Mosi-Oa-Tunya Road.

Fort Street through to Bellevue Road up to Plumtree Road has been renamed Benjamin Burombo Street.

Some of the Government buildings whose names have been changed include the New Government Composite Office Building in Harare which will now be called Mgandane Dlodlo Building; Harare Central Hospital is now Sally Mugabe Central Hospital; Immigration Building in Harare has been named to Chingaira Makoni Building; Defence House to Hashim Mbita House; CID Headquarters Building to Ethan Dube Building and Central Registry Building to Muchecheterwa Chiwashira Building.

By A orrespondent- Polices bosses reportedly ordered their subordinates to destroy the ZRP financial records during the 2017 November Coup code-named operation restore legacy that toppled former president Robert Mugabe.

According to the publication, the records were loaded into a Nissan UD truck and were destroyed at the Chikurubi Camp by fire.

The records according to the publication would have been used to investigate the then police boss and his relatives who are now being accused of siphoning public funds into their companies and buying assets which are on the verge of being forfeited by the state.

This was revealed in a sworn affidavit being used by the NPA in the Chihuri’s case by one Constable Ellison Mutivayo who reportedly said he was responsible for typing in the office of the then Staff Officer Ordinance. Mutivayo said he was instructed to type the order to destroy 20 sets of selected records which were then taken by a lorry for destruction:

All sections like receipt bay, bulk store, stores office, buying office, cardex office, loan office, dispatch carding, issues and discharges, took the books to his office. The Staff officer did the selection of files with the administrator and brought them to my office where I was ordered to type out a destruction order in respect of the selected books. The books were more than 20 in number.

According to the publication, an assistant inspector then arrived driving a UD lorry, the policeman and others had to load the books detailed for destruction and the truck drove off to Support Unit in Chikurubi where they were destroyed by fire. Chihuri is yet to respond to the allegations that PGHQ destroyed files that could have been used in his case.

MDC-Alliance officials have been accused of forging affidavits of legislators in a court application that has since been withdrawn as the battle for control of the opposition party takes another nasty twist.

Branding the MDC-Alliance led by Mr Nelson Chamisa as a “bunch of criminals”, MDC secretary-general Douglas Mwonzora said law enforcement should step in and arrest the “crooks” masquerading as democrats.

And in the ensuing battle for control of the opposition party, Dr Thokozani Khupe and her allies who include Mr Mwonzora, have been calling the shots, including recalling MPs who were refusing to abide by the Supreme Court ruling.

In a fresh bid to stop the culling, the Chamisa camp approached the High Court, but Mr Mwonzora claimed that their initial application was premised on forgery and should be investigated.

“Their application was accompanied by forged affidavits. The MPs were made to sign blank affidavits without anything. If you look at the affidavits that were filed in the main original body and the tail end is where the applicant signature is, it’s a photocopy that was forged. We also had Members of Parliament who were disowning the affidavits,” said Mr Mwonzora.

“I raised that with some of the MDC-A people and they said they had no idea; that is when we realised that the whole application had been forged. I got in touch with a number of MPs and they professed ignorance of the application. I think it was withdrawn specifically because of that,” said Mr Mwonzora.

Mwonzora claimed that the High Court application was designed to demonstrate that the MDC A was still in control of legislators in parliament.

“They wanted to present that they still have 51 members of Parliament. That is the impression they wanted to create because right now they have less than 15 MPs sympathetic to them out of 111.

“They wanted to give an impression that MPs were behind them and against us. It was simply political posturing, an awkward political manoeuvring that confirms our earlier assertion that these people are criminals. They are crooks who forged the succession. They try to forge papers of ownership of Harvest House. They now have forged this application who ought to be prosecuted,” said Mr Mwonzora.

MDC-A lawyer Mr Alec Muchadehama confirmed that they withdrew the case, but on the grounds that it had been filed as an urgent application.

“We withdrew the case because we saw that we could run around issues of urgency. So we withdrew it and we will file it as an ordinary application. However, I don’t think it is possible to forge someone’s signature. As far as I know, it did not happen,” said Mr Muchadehama.

He, however, could not say how many people had signed the affidavits that will be filed as an ordinary application at the High Court, where legislators are challenging Dr Khupe’s legitimacy to recall them from Parliament.

Financial records at Police General Headquarters (PGHQ) were reportedly loaded into a Nissan UD truck on the instruction of then police bosses and destroyed by fire at Chikurubi Camp during Operation Restore Legacy in 2017, allegedly to cover up corrupt procurement and other illicit payments.

The destruction of the records, according to investigations, was not done in accordance with the law and was allegedly designed to destroy evidence that could be used in the present investigations into former Commissioner-General Augustine Chihuri and his relatives.

Affidavits by four police officers in the police procurement section stated how pages of files involving companies linked to relatives of top police officers, including Chihuri, were pulled out and burnt. The affidavits also narrates how some senior officers instructed juniors to replace the pages in question with alternative and probably fake documents in a bid to erase any incriminating evidence.

The companies in question were allegedly awarded tenders without following procedure and it is suspected they might have received money without providing goods and services.

Some of the documents which were doctored and burnt include records for Mastaw Investments where Chihuri was a manager and his wife Isobel was managing director. Chihuri’s brother-in-law Aitken Khan was operations manager for the same company.

Documents for Croxile Investments where Isobel was general manager were, according to the investigations, allegedly tampered with.

Other records for Adamah Enterprises and Nodpack Investments where Isobel was general manager were also reportedly destroyed.

Documents for Rewstand Enterprises owned by Mrs Abigail Billie Makono, wife of a top police officer Assistant Commissioner Makono and her sister Beaula Billie, were also allegedly tampered with.

Rewstand had the tender to supply tents and clothing material.

Adamah had the tender to supply cap drab, blue hats for female officers and clothing material while Mastaw and Croxile would supply tents.

Prosecutor-General Mr Kumbirai Hodzi, is also on record as saying there was a reasonable basis to suspect Chihuri of instructing some senior officers to spearhead the destruction of records relating to his family companies as he was then still in charge.

Constable Ellison Mutivayo who was responsible for typing in the office of the then Staff Officer Ordinance said he was instructed to type out an order to destroy 20 sets of selected records which were immediately ferried in a lorry for destruction.

“All sections like receipt bay, bulk store, stores office, buying office, cardex office, loan office, dispatch carding, issues and discharges, took the books to his office. The Staff officer did the selection of files with the administrator and brought them to my office where I was ordered to type out a destruction order in respect of the selected books. The books were more than 20 in number.”

An assistant inspector then arrived driving a UD lorry; the policeman and others had to load the books detailed for destruction and the truck drove off to Support Unit in Chikurubi, said Cnst Mutivayo in his sworn affadavit.

Another officer, Cst John Shoko, said he was ordered to pluck out some pages from the goods received register which were also burnt.

Sergeant Tamirirashe Matutu, who worked at the buying office, said Supt Munemo visited their office and asked for files in respect of Rewstand, Adamah, Mastaw, Nodpack and Croxile which he took to his office.

“He came back and took used up goods received registers from the safe where they were kept. He also took another goods received register from receipt bay section to his office. After an hour, he came back with pages which had entries of receipts in respect of the above mentioned companies, folded and marked while others were detached.

He said that he had been instructed by a Senior Assistant Commissioner to remove the marked pages. “He gave us blank pages of the registers and instructed us to rewrite the entries excluding those for the above mentioned companies which were left blank. Those blank spaces were filled in with false information and later cancelled.

“Supt Munemo then took the registers and asked Cst Shoko to accompany him to Police Printers for rebinding. All this happened when the overall officer-in-charge Chief Inspector Gavaza was on occasional leave,” said Sgt Matutu.

Assistant Inspector Nelson Phiri said at one point, the goods received register at the buying office went missing, only to find it a week later in the company of Cst Shoko who was busy plucking out pages and rewriting the information on the superiors’ instructions.

“On Wednesday 22 November 2017, I entered the Buying Office while searching for the missing book.

“I then found Cst Shoko with the goods received register on his table. I observed that he had a bunch of blank papers of the goods received register. He was busy re-writing the entries and other information.

“When I asked him why he had taken my book, he made a statement that he had been instructed by the Staff Officer Supt Munemo to rewrite new pages and removing all entries with information of deliveries of companies namely; Adamah, Croxile, Rewstand, Mastaw and Nodpack,” reads Asst Insp Phiri’s affidavit.

A week later, Asst Insp Phiri said he discovered that pages related to the five companies had been removed and replaced with newly doctored ones.

“I noted that pages which had entries and information of the aforementioned companies had been plucked out and replaced by newly re-written pages. The books had been bound anew to appear as if everything was still intact,” reads Asst Insp Phiri’s statement.

The re-written entries, according to the police officers, now had forged signatures, force numbers and names of officers who once worked in the receipt bay office.

SEVEN National Pharmaceutical Company (NatPharm) bosses have been fired as the company reels from allegations of multi-million dollar corruption involving the acquisition of medicines and equipment meant for the Covid-19 pandemic response.

Those who have been fired are managing director Flora Sifeku, operations manager Charles Mwaramba, finance manager Rolland Mlalazi, human resources manager Walter Nhau, regional manager Raguel Mthombeni, stores pharmacist Rumbidzai Kanhema (Matambanadzo) and Bridget Kumapenda.

NatPharm is mandated with the procurement, storage and distribution of medicines and medical equipment for public health institutions.

Some of the managers were implicated in the Drax International LLC US$60 million Covid-19 medicines supply scandal.

They were arrested and face charges of criminal abuse of office.

Sifeku, Mwaramba and Mlalazi were arrested early this month and are being accused of processing government procurement without following proper tender procedures.

In a July 14 internal email with the subject head “Termination of contracts for some managers”, acting managing director Zealous Nyabadza said the seven have been dismissed from their posts with immediate effect. This email serves to inform you that the following managers have been dismissed from NatPharm with immediate effect,” Nyabadza said, without elaborating.

An unprecedented purge has already seen several Ministry of Health officials and chief executive officers of major referral hospitals being fired.

Yesterday, several senior managers at the Health Services Board were also either relieved of their duties or transferred.

“This is part of the large-scale purging of those perceived to be involved in the controversial cases surrounding the procurement of medical supplies and Covid-19 equipment. In fact, more of these senior people are going to fall by the wayside going forward,” an official said.

First to fall was former Health minister Obadiah Moyo, who was fired on July 8 by President Emmerson Mnangagwa for what he deemed behaviour inconsistent with a member of cabinet.

Moyo was arrested last month after an investigation by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission. He was freed on bail and returns to court on July 31.

Moyo is facing charges of corruption and criminal abuse of office over his role in a deal with Drax to supply personal protective equipment and Covid-19 test kits. If convicted, he faces a fine or up to 15 years in prison.

A representative of Drax, Delish Nguwaya, was also arrested and is facing charges in connection with the contract.

Nguwaya is also on bail. His company has, however, denied wrongdoing and has written to the government protesting the cancellation of the procurement deal.

Apart from the Drax controversy, the Ministry of Health has also been accused of mishandling the procurement of Covid-19 materials through a Namibian-based company, Jaji Investments.

Both deals were concluded without the approval of the Procurement Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe. The Drax deal was cancelled after journalists exposed the transaction, sparking public outrage.

The Health Service Board last week fired chief executive officers of central hospitals, while directors in the Ministry of Health were sent on forced leave as part of what was termed a restructuring exercise.

Those fired are Ernest Manyawu (Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals), Tinashe Dhobbie (Sally Mugabe Central Hospital, formerly Harare Central Hospital), Enock Mayida (Chitungwiza Central Hospital), Nonhlanhla Ndlovu (United Bulawayo Hospitals) and Leonard Mabhandi (Ingutsheni Hospital).

The ZANU PF National Youth Executive held its second national executive council meeting this Friday at the party headquarters in Harare, where Acting Deputy Secretary for Youth Affairs, Tendai Chirau called for Zimbabwe to stand “against subversion of their will.”

“As ZANU PF Youth league, we register our preparedness to stand in resolute defence of legitimate national interests, in defence of innocent breadwinners and their dependents who are being threatened with disruptive, senseless violence and injury. We further reiterate our conviction that the only acceptable path to political power in Zimbabwe is through the plebiscite.

“In the 2018 elections, the voice of the majority emphatically spoke in favour of ZANU PF running the country until 2023. The threats to remove the Government that we hear are unconstitutional and we remain ready to defend the constitution of Zimbabwe and accordingly warn all putschist elements to hold their peace,” he said.

Chirau also raised concern that the people who are agitating for a demonstration are the same people who bad mouth the country to foreigners and then come back to lay blame on the government.

“We will therefore not entertain any form of retrogressive opportunism, which is in many predictable ways, similar to the coordinated anarchy of 1 August 2018 and January 2019, which should never be repeated. We are tired of merchants of regime change abusing the universal right to demonstrate and wish to remind them that such right is subject to limitations in defence of national security,” he said.

By A Correspondent- Harare’s Glaudina suburb has recorded another COVID-19 death, ZimEye can exclusively reveal.

The man, who worked at a local sugar refinery company died Friday morning at his home where he was recuperating in self quarantine.

Neighbours had to break the windows of the house where the man was after his wife who is in Bulawayo asked a neighbour to check on her husband whom she said was not picking up her calls since yesterday.

Said the source:

“Everyone was equally afraid to get closer to the corpse because he was a COVID-19 known case. So when the community members broke the windows, no-one got close to the corpse for fear of contracting the virus.”

The source narrated how the community tried in vain to call the publicised COVID 19 toll free numbers.

“We called the numbers that were publicised by the Information minister Monica Mutsvangwa but no one was picking up the call. We tried it for over 2 hours while some of the community members went to report the death at a local police station.”

The source said they went to Dzivarasekwa police station where they noted that the police were not properly equipped to deal with COVID-19 deaths.

“They had a car but no fuel to start with. What was even baffling is that the police officers had no PPEs so most of the police details were reluctant to attend to the corpse.”

The source told this publication that the officer in charge at Dzivarasekwa police station assisted the community members to contact City of Harare’s rapid response team who quickly attended to the dead man.

However, the City of Harare did not fumigate the house where the man died.

Added one Masunda:

“Nothing was done to fumigate the house and they just collected the body and left. We engaged Dr Prosper Chonzi who was very rude to us.

He told us that the City of Harare does not have the capacity to fumigate the house and that there was nothing that they can do. He even said we should stop troubling him as he had received over a 100 calls from concerned residents.

Dr Chonzi’s conduct is not reflective of a public official. He is an arrogant man who should just call it quits becuase he does not have the skills to deal with the public. Rather than giving us the way forward, he was just very rude.”

Efforts to get a comment from Dr Chonzi were futile by the time of writing.

There are reports that the government has finally disbursed the USD75 promised to civil servants last months but they are now faced with the dilemma on how to access the money as they do not have bank cards to use in shops while banks are said to be refusing to give them hard cash.

Government last month promised to give civil servants a flat USD75 which they can use to buy in shops but it appears most if not all of them do not have Foreign Currency Account cards.

Posting on Twitter, vibrant teachers union PTUZ, questioned government its members could do to access their money in light of the challenges of banks refusing to give them cards.

“Now that gvt has paid $75, nobody knows how that money is used. Banks say they won’t give cash, won’t give cards, with some “advising”clients to liquidate into RTGS at bank rate. Come here @MthuliNcube , @Jamwanda2 and @nickmangwana,” said PTUZ.

THE Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) has distanced itself from social media allegations that it is backing a deceitful plan by the opposition to effect regime change on July 31 under the guise of denouncing corruption.

ZDF noted with concern false accusations peddled on social media that it said was intended to cause alarm and despondency within the nation.

This comes as security chiefs in June warned of a plot by some opposition parties, working with foreign embassies in Zimbabwe and private media to undermine the authority of the Government, saying that those engaging in treasonous acts would be punished.

In a statement, Defence Forces Commander General Phillip Valerio Sibanda dismissed the allegations as a figment of social media websites imaginations and not of the ZDF.

“The Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) notes with concern the concerted efforts by some sections of the private media, which are bent on dragging the ZDF into their political scheming. This is evidenced by an online news item titled, ‘Military backing demo’ published by Transform Zimbabwe on Chimurenga Radio on 13 July 2020. On the same day there was another publication by ZimEye in their article, ‘The army has been used settle politics’ and that the ZDF and ‘other security structures are literally used to silence, remove and oppress the people of Zimbabwe in a bid to keep ZANU PF in power’.

“Further to this scheming, ZimEye on 05 June 2020, claimed that the ZDF had helped the MDC-T, led by Thokozani Khupe to reclaim Morgan Richard Tsvangirai House, formerly Harvest House, from the MDC-Alliance. These claims and assertions are the work of very fertile imagination of the authors of these articles, which members of the public should dismiss with the contempt they deserve. They are aimed at unfairly using the security establishment to drum up support for their planned illegal anti-Government protests.

“It should be noted that, as a professional, loyal and patriotic Defence Force, the ZDF does not involve itself in anti-people activities that are designed to achieve anti-Government political and economic objectives by some malcontents within our citizenry,” he said.

The ZDF Commander added that the country’s military is guided by Section 212 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe, which mandates the Defence Forces to protect Zimbabwe, its people, its national security and interests and its territorial integrity and to uphold this Constitution, “and not in shenanigans as those purveyed by the authors of the articles mentioned above”.

Mnangagwa promises full electricity in 2023 | TRUTH or UTTER NONSENSE

— ZimEye (@ZimEye) July 18, 2020

Zimbabwe will have enough power to push forward its rapid industrialisation from 2023 and is poised to become an exporter of electricity as new coal and coal gas generation capacity being planned or commissioned by private and public initiatives in Hwange come on stream.

This emerged when President Mnangagwa concluded his two-day working visit of coal projects here that saw him touring eight power concerns.

Zimbabwe imports power from South Africa’s Eskom and Mozambique’s Hydroelectrica de Cahora Bassa after a 30-year hiatus when no new generation capacity was installed.

Power projects visited by the President on Thursday and Friday are expected to feed an additional 3 000MW into the national grid upon envisaged completion by 2023.

The power is not only sufficient for the country’s present needs, but will also suffice for an industrialised Zimbabwe as envisaged by the economic growth that is being planned in line with Vision 2030 that is set to transform Zimbabwe into an upper middle income economy.

The projects themselves, are designed to support the country’s industrialisation drive by generating the required electricity.

Crucially, the projects will also play a critical role in Government’s devolution strategy which is aimed at improving standards of living, creating jobs and generating wealth in the provinces.

Speaking here yesterday, President Mnangagwa noted that employment creation will be accelerated for the benefit of local communities. With some of the projects being foreign-owned, the President implored the companies to prioritise using the local workforce in line with Government policy.

“You (Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube) are spending hundreds of millions a month importing power when we have everything to produce power in this country,” said the President during the tour of Zambezi Gas and Coal Mine.

“Yesterday, where we visited and the general picture I have been given now, is that we should be energy sufficient by 2023 because we have everything. We have the coal, we have the gas in Zimbabwe . . . None of us here will live beyond the volumes of coal we have,” said the President.

With the projects being dominated by companies of Chinese origin, the President also highlighted that this was a result of his visit to China in April 2018, where he got the backing and support of his Chinese counterpart President Xi Jinping.

Although the President assured all the companies he visited of Government’s total support, he reserved special mention for the locally owned duo of Zambezi Gas and Makomo Resources.

He said he was particularly pleased by the progress being made by the two and noted that they have an added advantage in that their profits will not be repatriated to foreign countries.

He also challenged the two to draw and follow extensive expansion road maps.

Mines and Mining Development Minister Winston Chitando who accompanied the President said the visit had showed that the coal sector is poised to become the first to attain its target under the US$12 billion mining industry set for 2023.

The sector is envisaged to contribute US$1 billion by the 2023 milestone.

“The coal and hydrocarbon sector had been allocated to achieve US$1 billion, but all indications are that it will not only be the first to achieve but will exceed the US$1 billion,” said Minister Chitando.

“This visit by His Excellency has now clearly demonstrated that Zimbabwe is well on course to move from being an importer of power but a net exporter of power,” he said. -Herald

The head of government business in Parliament, Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi while responding to Bulawayo East MP Ilos Nyoni’s question in Parliament this week said the government had no plans of abandoning the Zimbabwe dollar which has greatly depreciated in value since its infamous debut on 24 June 2019.

Nyoni had asked if the government was aware that people were now preferring the USD to the depreciating Zimbabwe dollar.

Ziyambi said:
Government has no desire to abandon the Zimdollar. The MP is aware that when COVID-19 came, the Minister of Finance allowed the use of free funds.

There was no pronouncement to say that we are going back to the US dollar that we do not produce. Our desire is to stabilise our currency so that the earnings of our people are not eroded. At no point are we going to abandon the idea of our currency.

The Minister repeated the same answer when Tendai Biti asked him:

The Ministry of Transport through Statutory Instrument 161/2020 has announced that all vehicle number plates must be paid for in US dollars, and the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe through its auction floors is trading in foreign currency and has obliged all shops to display prices in US dollars and local currency and so are we going to officially dollarise?”- NewsDay

By Fanuel Chinowaita Kasiyamhuru| Today is one of the darkest day as i heard the untimely death of Kerine Murwira.

Kerine was my sister and a comrade in the Movement for Democratic Change.

She died today due to serious headache.

It is very painful that I will not be able to attend her funeral due to long distance and Lockdown.

Anyway, let me take this time to say very little things I know about Kerine. When it comes to politics, she was steadfast and so principled.

She is someone I always consulted and her advices made me strong. She always said, “usazviise muhana sterek mwana waMai, let’s soldier on kusvika Zimbabwe yasununguka.”

Her presence made the struggle real and stronger. She was a force in Manicaland and Zimbabwe as a whole.

You will always be remembered Keri.

Pese peairwara aindiudza kuti mwana waMai ndarwara, but this time she did not say any word. The last time I talked to her she said, “mwana waMai ita plan and see how I can reach that side.” Sad, she just go without saying good bye!!!

Nguva iyi yandirwadza.

To Tyne, please take care of Kupa and Nenyasha. To our lovely and caring mother, be strong….chemai netariro…chengetaiwo vazukuru vemasiirwa naKerine.

Rest in Power Kerine. We will meet again.

By A Correspondent- A Harare man died from COVID-19 Friday in Glaudina suburb, Harare, ZimEye can exclusively reveal.

The man, who worked at a local sugar refinery company died at his home where he was recuperating in self quarantine.

The sugar refinery company where he was working has reportedly closed and sent all it’s workers to a local health institution for COVID 19 tests and self quarantine following this incident.

Neighbours had to break the windows of the house where the man was staying after his wife who is in Bulawayo asked a neighbour to check on her husband whom she said was not picking up her calls since Thursday.

Said the source:

“Everyone was equally afraid to get closer to the corpse because he was a COVID-19 known case. So when the community members broke the windows, no-one got close to the corpse for fear of contracting the virus.”

The source narrated how the community tried in vain to call the publicised COVID 19 toll free numbers.

“We called the numbers that were publicised by the Information minister Monica Mutsvangwa but no one was picking up the call. We tried it for over 2 hours while some of the community members went to report the death at a local police station.”

The source said they went to Dzivarasekwa police station where they noted that the police were not properly equipped to deal with COVID-19 deaths.

“They had a car but no fuel to start with. What was even baffling is that the police officers had no PPEs so most of the police details were reluctant to attend to the corpse.”

The source told this publication that the officer in charge at Dzivarasekwa police station assisted the community members to contact City of Harare’s rapid response team who quickly attended to the dead man.

However, the City of Harare did not fumigate the house where the man died.

Added one Masunda:

“Nothing was done to fumigate the house and they just collected the body and left. We engaged Dr Prosper Chonzi who was very rude to us.

He told us that the City of Harare does not have the capacity to fumigate the house and that there was nothing that they can do. He even said we should stop troubling him as he had received over a 100 calls from concerned residents.

Dr Chonzi’s conduct is not reflective of a public official. He is an arrogant man who should just call it quits becuase he does not have the skills to deal with the public. Rather than giving us the way forward, he was just very rude.”

Efforts to get a comment from Dr Chonzi were futile by the time of writing.

By A Correspondent| Hundreds of Prophetic Healing and Deliverance (PHD) Ministries followers recently besieged their leader Prophet Walter Magaya’s  offices in Cape Town, South Africa, demanding refunds following a botched stands deal.

The followers said they wanted their money back since nothing had materialised three years after paying deposits.

Through Planet Africa, the investment arm of Prophet Magaya’s church, the followers were asked to pay varying deposits into a housing scheme.

In a grey agreement of sale, the investors (who are named as partners in the agreement) were informed that the stands’ sizes and prices were to vary and would be determined after the sub-division of the land.
