In a somber turn of events, the Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU PF) faces an internal implosion as the fabric holding the party together appears to be fraying at the seams.

The emergency meeting held on a tense Monday was indicative of escalating tensions within the once-revolutionary party, now struggling amidst both internal discord and external pressures stemming from an increasingly dire economic landscape.

The meeting, flagged as a “ZANU PF Policy and Coordination Meeting,” was presided over by the Secretary-General, Dr. Obert Mpofu.

The agenda, as disclosed by an inside source, featured critical discussions on the state of the party, the faltering economy, and the weight of international affairs bearing down on Zimbabwe.

The factionalism and power struggles that have long simmered beneath the surface of ZANU PF now seem poised to erupt into full view.

Sources within the party have hinted at deep-rooted conflicts that threaten to tear apart the very foundation on which ZANU PF was built.

The economic turmoil faced by Zimbabwe has only added fuel to the fire, exacerbating existing tensions and creating an environment ripe for dissent and discord.

As the party grapples with the repercussions of a deepening economic crisis, members are finding themselves increasingly at odds over the path forward, with diverging opinions on how best to navigate the turbulent waters ahead.

A Zanu PF source on Monday said :
“We are at a critical juncture in the history of our party, facing challenges that demand unity and resolve. The state of the party is under strain, and we must address these internal fissures before they widen beyond repair.”

The mention of ‘international affairs’ on the meeting’s agenda only serves to underscore the extent to which external pressures are compounding ZANU PF’s internal struggles.

As Zimbabwe navigates a complex web of diplomatic relations and economic dependencies, the party finds itself at a crossroads, where decisions made in the corridors of power will reverberate far beyond the nation’s borders.

One of the longest serving chiefs in Matabeleland South Province, Chief Malaba of Kezi, has died.

He was 86.

According to Matobo District Development Coordinator Mr Obey Chaputsira, the traditional leader died at Tshelanyemba Hospital on Saturday.

Chief Malaba was installed substantive chief in 1988.

Wicknell Chivayo, a prominent businessman in Zimbabwe, has found himself in hot water after a leaked audio recording in which he boasted about his connections to the ruling Zanu PF party.

The recording has not only caused a stir among political circles, but has also attracted the attention of Chiwenga sympathizers, known as the Varakashi Team.

In the leaked audio, Chivayo can be heard bragging about his influence within Zanu PF and even going as far as claiming control over the Presidium.

This has not gone down well with many within the party, especially those who are loyal to Vice President Constantino Chiwenga.

The Varakashi Team, believed to be aligned with Chiwenga, has openly threatened Chivayo, warning him to watch his back.

In a statement issued on Monday, the group declared, “Dakumuputitsa chimimba mutekwa chake,” which roughly translates to ” We want to deal with that fat man. “

The threat from the Varakashi Team has left many wondering about the implications for Chivayo and his business interests.

The businessman, who is known for his flashy lifestyle and controversial dealings, may now have to watch his back as tensions escalate within Zanu PF.

It remains to be seen how this situation will unfold and whether Chivayo will face any consequences for his comments.

For now, the businessman is facing the wrath of Chiwenga sympathizers, who are not taking his words lightly. As the political landscape in Zimbabwe continues to shift, individuals like Chivayo may find themselves caught in the crossfire of internal party tensions.

By Dorrothy Moyo | Harare, Zimbabwe — In a significant crackdown on corruption, Pardon Dziva, a Public Prosecutor stationed at the Harare Magistrates’ Court, has been sentenced to 8 years in prison. Dziva, alongside his co-accused Alex Tombe, appeared at the Harare High Court today for sentencing on fraud charges.

The case, which has drawn widespread attention, began on November 15, 2023, when Dziva demanded USD 20,000 from Wellington Takavarasha to secure a lighter sentence for Henrietta Rushwaya, who had been convicted of smuggling. Takavarasha informed Henrietta Rushwaya’s sister, Helliate Rushwaya, of the demand. Helliate Rushwaya then reported the incident to the Zimbabwe Republic Police Anti-Corruption Unit, who orchestrated a sting operation.

Helliate Rushwaya arranged to meet the accused at the CABS Centre. During this meeting, Tombe, acting on Dziva’s behalf, approached her to collect the money. Helliate Rushwaya refused to hand over the cash and insisted on meeting Dziva directly. The parties then moved to Kebbab Restaurant in Milton Park, where the transaction took place in Helliate Rushwaya’s vehicle. Dziva accepted the trap money, leading to the immediate arrest of both accused.

In court, Dziva received a 10-year sentence, with 2 years suspended for 5 years on the condition of not committing a similar offense. Tombe was sentenced to 8 years, with 2 years suspended under the same conditions.

This sentencing marks a pivotal moment in Zimbabwe’s ongoing battle against corruption within the judicial system, signaling a strong message against malfeasance by public officials.

In the heart of Zanu PF, a storm is brewing, fueled by the steadfast support of Wicknell Chivayo’s ardent followers amidst the mounting tension within the party. The controversial businessman, known for his flamboyant lifestyle and questionable dealings, has found resolute defenders in the face of scrutiny from within his own political circles.

Recent events have shone a light on the intense loyalty that some individuals hold for Chivayo, as they rally around him despite the turmoil he has sparked. Supporters of the businessman, often referred to as sympathizers, have taken proactive measures to shield him from criticism, leading to a clash of opinions and a testing of allegiances within the ranks of Zanu PF.

One of the most notable incidents that have contributed to the escalating discord within the party involves beneficiaries of Chivayo’s generosity, particularly those who have received cars from him.

In a bid to shield their benefactor, these individuals have resorted to aggressive tactics, such as threatening members of WhatsApp groups and expelling dissenting voices from the platform.

The tensions came to a head when DJ Masomere, a prominent figure within the party, voiced his frustrations over the actions of Muchina Muhombe, who was questioning the authenticity of Chivayo’s actions.

“King tokudzurai pano*,” DJ Masomere fumed, highlighting the stark division that has emerged within the party as a result of Chivayo’s controversial actions and the ensuing defense of his supporters.

Amidst the chaos that has engulfed Zanu PF, a poignant observation has been made by some critics of Chivayo and his loyalists. They argue that an empty stomach and a gluttonous mind are not the hallmarks of good political advisors.

This statement underscores the concern that blind allegiance and personal gain may be clouding the judgment of those who choose to stand by Chivayo, regardless of the controversies that surround him.

As the turmoil within Zanu PF continues to escalate, it raises questions not only about the character of Wicknell Chivayo but also about the integrity of those who vehemently defend him. In a political landscape already rife with challenges and divisions, the unyielding support for a figure like Chivayo threatens to further destabilize an already fragile environment.

In a shocking turn of events in the heart of Harare, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) unveiled a case of deception and abuse as Kundai Taruvinga, aged 29, was apprehended for impersonating a police officer on the 8th of June, 2024, at the Machipisa Shopping Centre.

This incident sheds light on the dangers that lurk when imposters don the badge of authority, wreaking havoc on innocent individuals for their own gain.

The distressing ordeal began when Taruvinga, alongside two unidentified collaborators, masqueraded as law enforcement officers, descending upon a forex trader operating at the bustling shopping centre.

Under the guise of conducting official duties, they accused the victim of illicit foreign currency dealings. What transpired next spiralled into a nightmare as the trio resorted to physical violence, brutally assaulting the trader.

It was the timely intervention of vigilant members of the public that prevented a potentially tragic outcome.

Swift to protect the victim from further harm, bystanders rallied together to apprehend Kundai Taruvinga. However, the two accomplices managed to evade capture, slipping away into the crowd.

Now, the call resounds across the city for any individuals holding crucial information that could lead to the apprehension of these fugitives to come forward.

The ZRP urges witnesses to report to the nearest police station, emphasizing the collective responsibility we share in combating crime and upholding justice within our communities.

In the heart of Norton, lies a tale of neglect and danger that affects the most vulnerable members of society – delivering mothers.

The plight of these women, who arrive at the Norton Hospital maternity ward full of hope and anticipation, is one tainted by the inadequate and unsanitary conditions they are forced to endure during a critical moment in their lives.

Norton MP Hon Richard Tsvangirai recently shone a light on this unsettling reality, criticizing the Zanu PF regime for failing to prioritize the well-being of delivering mothers in his constituency. In a scathing remark, he highlighted the perilous state of the main hospital and the unacceptable conditions faced by new mothers.

“Mnangagwa’s regime is killing delivering mothers softly by ignoring the dire situation at Norton Hospital,” Hon Tsvangirai emphasized.

The maternity ward at Norton Hospital witnesses the birth of 150 to 200 babies each month, a commendable effort facilitated by the dedicated nurses.

However, this noble work is overshadowed by a chilling reality – new mothers are compelled to bathe in a dirty and filthy tub.

This lack of hygiene not only strips these women of their dignity but also exposes them to unnecessary health risks.

“There’s no disease prevention while using that bath tub,” Hon Tsvangirai lamented, highlighting the immediate need for urgent action to rectify this appalling situation.

Adding to the dismay is the revelation that the Norton town council, responsible for collecting hospital fees, operates with a substantial budget. The question of why this management fails to address such a basic need as replacing the dilapidated bath tub remains unanswered.

The funds allocated for the betterment of healthcare infrastructure and the well-being of patients seem to have vanished into a void of neglect and mismanagement.

“The Norton town council has a duty to ensure that the facilities at Norton Hospital are conducive for the well-being of both patients and staff. It is an utter disgrace that delivering mothers are subjected to such deplorable conditions,” Hon Tsvangirai expressed, echoing the exasperation of many within the community.

The inadequacies within Norton Hospital serve as a stark reminder of the urgent reforms needed within the healthcare sector in Zimbabwe.

The lives of delivering mothers, who already navigate a precarious journey, should not be jeopardized due to the negligence and oversight of those in power.

Citizens spokesperson Gift Ostallos Siziba has boldly declared Zimbabwe is a mess due bad governance, corruption and rampant looting of State resources.

Siziba stated in a statement yesterday:

“The rampant corruption, lack of accountability, and disregard for the rule of law by the government have brought Zimbabwe to its knees.

Our people are suffering, struggling to make ends meet while those in power continue to enrich themselves at the expense of the nation.”

Siziba, as the citizens’ spokesperson, has been at the forefront of advocating for change in Zimbabwe.

He has been vocal in calling out the government for its failures and demanding accountability from those in power.

“The current leadership has failed the people of Zimbabwe,” Siziba said.

“They have not only failed to address the economic crisis facing the country but have actually contributed to worsening it through their corrupt practices and mismanagement of resources.”

The citizens’ spokesperson highlighted the deteriorating state of public services in Zimbabwe, from healthcare to education, as a result of the government’s neglect and incompetence.

“Our hospitals lack essential medicines and equipment, our schools are overcrowded and under-resourced,” Siziba stated.

“The government has not invested in the well-being of its people, and this has had devastating consequences on the quality of life for ordinary Zimbabweans.”

Siziba also pointed out the crackdown on dissent and opposition voices in Zimbabwe, with human rights abuses and political repression becoming a common occurrence.

“The government is using intimidation and violence to silence any form of dissent,” Siziba noted.

“This has created a culture of fear and mistrust among the population, leading to a further erosion of democracy and basic freedoms in our country.”

Despite the challenges facing Zimbabwe, Siziba remains optimistic about the potential for change.

“We cannot continue to accept this state of affairs. We must hold our leaders accountable and demand transparency and good governance,” Siziba emphasized.

“Only through active citizen participation and solidarity can we hope to bring about a better future for Zimbabwe.”

As the citizens’ spokesperson continues to advocate for change, his message resonates with many Zimbabweans who are tired of living in a country that is in such turmoil.

“Zimbabwe is a mess, but it doesn’t have to stay that way,” Siziba concluded.

“We have the power to make a difference and create a better future for ourselves and our children. It’s time for change, and it’s time for us to stand up and demand it.”

By Farai D Hove | Norton, Zimbabwe– A Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) officer has sparked outrage and fear in the town of Norton, with numerous allegations of inappropriate conduct and physical assaults on women and children. The officer, identified as Norest Shirikadzi, has reportedly been abusing his position and terrorizing the local community.

In a heart-wrenching interview cited by Zimbolive, a local woman is quoted saying the persistent harassment that residents have been facing. “We have a problem in our neighborhood that has been happening for a long time,” she said. “Norest Shirikadzi, a soldier, abuses women when he is drunk. When he is not drunk, he is okay, but once he gets drunk, he starts attacking women. We are now getting used to staying indoors in fear because he touches women anywhere he wants. The other time, he assaulted an elderly woman. He entered her property and assaulted her. When asked why he was doing this, he said, ‘I am a gunner. There is nothing you can do to me.'”

Despite attempts to seek justice, the complainant noted that local police have been unhelpful, allegedly stating that Shirikadzi can only be prosecuted by the military. “The matter just disappeared just like that,” she continued. “Soon after that, he told us that tomorrow a big truck of soldiers is going to come after you because you have offended soldiers. We spent the whole week in fear because of this man’s threats.”

The violence escalated when Shirikadzi assaulted a child who had reported to a neighbor that the soldier had inappropriately touched his wife. “The soldier went to the child and assaulted him with a metal rod, causing injuries that required stitches. This happened on the 5th of May, and up to this date, no one has been arrested,” the woman recounted.

Just days ago, Shirikadzi reportedly targeted a group of women, including a pregnant woman, while they were at home. When the pregnant woman protested, he allegedly began assaulting her, kicking her with his boots. Despite multiple reports to the police, no action has been taken against Shirikadzi.

“This man abuses the whole neighborhood,” the woman pleaded. “He touches women inappropriately and then announces that he is a gunner. We are troubled, we are troubled. We have suffered.”

The Norton community remains in fear and is calling for urgent intervention to address the soldier’s actions and ensure their safety. Local authorities and the military have yet to respond to the allegations publicly.

The veil covering the controversial actions of Zanu PF businessman Wicknell Chivayo has been lifted as a leaked audio reveals his hidden manoeuvres.

In the recording, Wicknell unequivocally states that his proximity to the President is solely driven by financial gain.

Chivayo boasts about his lavish spending on high-end fashion and luxury vehicles.

The audio prominently features name-dropping and extortion tactics, with Chivayo asserting, “I will reconnect with you soon, and together we can secure contracts spanning various sectors globally.

We are in pursuit of new business opportunities and are not interested in dealing with individuals given to false displays of distress.”

In a bid to address growing skepticism surrounding Zimbabwe’s freshly introduced Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) currency, Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa stepped forward to defend it in a recent statement issued by the ruling party, Zanu PF.

The Zanu PF President reassured the nation that ZiG is not just stable but also firmly backed by ample gold reserves, emphasizing trust in the currency’s robustness and its potential to drive economic growth.

According to the statement released over the weekend, Mnangagwa asserted, “ZiG Currency is Solid and Backed by Ample Gold Reserves.”

This declaration aimed to dispel doubts and restore faith in the country’s economic strategies under the new currency regime.

Mnangagwa’s remarks come as a response to increasing scrutiny and concerns over the viability and sustainability of ZiG since its inception on April 5.

Mnangagwa highlighted the significance of this milestone, emphasizing how the currency’s implementation has been pivotal in fostering confidence among both the local populace and international stakeholders regarding Zimbabwe’s economic future.

In his defense of the ZiG currency, Mnangagwa underlined that extensive research conducted by the government had substantiated the currency’s reliability and its promising prospects for economic growth.

The assurance of substantial gold reserves serving as a solid foundation for the currency implies a strategic move to cement ZiG’s position as a credible alternative to previously volatile monetary systems.

In response to criticisms regarding the sustainability of ZiG, Mnangagwa reiterated, “Developed over two years, ZiG has achieved public acceptance, ensuring exchange rate and price stability.”

This assertion not only reflects the President’s faith in Zimbabwe’s economic agenda but also signals a commitment to maintaining the newfound stability within the financial sector, critical for the country’s overall progress and development.

The government’s steadfast defense of the ZiG currency underscores a broader push to reshape Zimbabwe’s economic landscape, steering it towards a path of sustainability and growth.

President Mnangagwa’s unwavering stance on the reliability and robustness of ZiG serves as a rallying call to both national and international stakeholders, urging them to embrace and support Zimbabwe’s currency reforms.

For the first time in 9 years, the convicted fraudster, and Edgar Lungu associate, Wicknell Chivayo who has been travelling around Zimbabwe plus in other African countries weakening various state institutions using millions of tender business money to bribe officials, is this week exposed in a 64 page document leak plus this (below) audio of him pleading with two partners, who are demanding their share of the millions he has been bribing celebrities with.

The latest leak, which is the most explosive since his USD5million payout for the defunct Gwanda Solar Project in 2015, involves a USD40 million payout he obtained from an elections-materials tender that was for Scott Sakupwanya’s Better Brands Security company.

The 2023 election voting was delayed and severely compromised because Chivayo (seen in video flying private jets alone with the UK convicted cheque fraudster, Joseph Mhaka) did not print enough ballot papers, which thing caused many to fail to cast their ballots.

In the audio, in which the man clearly instructs that the two must go around taking over government ministry tenders and rob the state using advance-payment-quick-cash, Chivayo is also pleading with Mike Chimombe, and Moses Mpofu who say the disbursed expensive cars (from the 2023 election money) are theirs and they want them now. (Last month, they wrote to him slapping him with a 7 day ultimatum.

The 2023 elections material money which was inflated by Chivayo from USD8 million to USD40 million, is part of the USD240 million the GoldMafia implicated ambassador Prophet Uebert Angel announced to undercover Al Jazeera Investigative Unit journalists, saying President Emmerson Mnangagwa has, and of which Zambia’s former Foreign Affairs minister, Harry Kalaba participated in covering up using Zambia state coat of arms insignia on 4 April 2023, before being physically caught in the act while receiving two fake golden IPhone 15 handsets by Al Jazeera investigative researcher Simba Chikanza on LIVE camera (Facebook Live) in full view of Zimbabwean voters on election day.

Chivayo says he has captured President Mnangagwa such that he cannot breathe without him.

Today, Uebert Angel associate, and wealth-boasting Chivayo, is telephoned by Simba Chikanza over the latest disclosures that he is heard on audio asking Chimombe and Mpofu to keep quiet about and to be content with non existent future promisories of piecemeal disbursements of ever-changing monetary figures: at one time in a leaked 4min audio message, Chivayo promises his partners USD10million, before shifting to USD100,000, and down to USD50,000, as appeasement money for failing to pay up the obligatory shares he needs to make up with the two.

Chivayo appears to patronise the two to the point of boasting that he recently purchased two clock watches for R2million so the two should not worry about school fees money they are complaining over.

Chivayo’s tone is authoritarian, instructive and rapid, such that he issues over 40 action-orders in a short 4min 23sec duration, which ZimEye reproduces as follows:

1. Sometimes I ignore because once I say good morning members, you are now rushing to hold a meeting and expect money from me, Mpofu is now wishing to possibly receive money like USD2million. USD3million!
2. I will be wanting these deals to give you like US$100,000; it keeps you going; how many times have I gotten you payments?
3. These payments
   -this week I am getting another one which is US$5.2 million and then we start on all the other projects.
4. There is one for the Police and there is a new one for Immigration.
5. The money is your pension you don’t need to be greedy to try and claim higher.
6. What I said is bring new work [because] this state-entity I have captured it with my bare hands, like dzvii! Not an imagination.
7. When he went to Italy, I was to the airport and he held my hands and said my son escorted me to the jets doors and I walked him over there once we got to the plane’s door after he had finished greeting the two vice president he returned to me and waved at me and said I will call you when I get to Italy my son.
8. So I am telling you that I am right inside, and I’m telling you to take advantage of that.
9. Don’t try and eat in what I have done myself or what caused us problems in the past, Eat it, my friend.
10. How can you cry?
11. You’re saying you want school fees money?
12. Yesterday I bought watches worth 2.2 million rands.
13. I will send you the video right now, 2.2 million South African rands; But you cry about school fees.
14. So now let me tell you my friend you fell out with your boss (murungu).
15. But if the murungu has accepted us back, let’s get whatever is there to keep you going.
16. Because what is difficult for us business people is running costs: you want to go there where you leave US$2000.
17. Your small house is troubling you, and you leave US$1000.
18. At home today is the 1st of the month, your wife is troubling you, the bills have piled up and you leave US$5000 and say here is the money.
19. The school fees let’s say it is US$10,000 or US$20,000. It is nothing!, pay, pay, pay: You are finished.
20. Your truck business, Mpofu, maybe things are not working well but then pops up this passive income that keeps you going.
21. That’s what I thought.
22. I said fine let me reconnect with these guys.
23. Because I could easily strike a new deal and we have a large lump sum of money, that will suffocate you; right now right now there is a drought- we will just create a structure and all of a sudden we are now recognized as people who are supplying the whole country with grain, and we just throw in the application and it is said that the grain is being supplied by a company called Militech, it is the one that is supplying all the grain.
24. It is the one that has won the contract.
25. Whom!, advance payment: and we are all of a sudden now starting to function.
26. And by the way, our technique is that of advance payments, we are trusted are you forgetting, that we are the boss’ children? Do you see now?
27. So I need a team like that.
28. Yes, I’ve got my own projects.
29. I have so many projects that I am chasing, but, I need a team like you that we can share ideas together, to say this we are hitting it this way and then then that one we are hitting it that way;
30. Yes, it is my project alone but the payments you will get them, when you have your people over there, I will give you money for some drinks, oh no guys here is US$50,000 take it for now;
31. Oh no here is US$100,000, we want to go for holiday to go to South Africa and then we say we go there next week;
32. I even told Victor my boys I am now agreeing with them, they even came here angry saying “we want our cars back!,” they said.
33. They even came and they were angry while with Mike [Chimombe], and said talk to your boss (your murungu), Talk to your boss talk to your boss!
34. But then now I lose all strength and say these people oh God, you know I did not want to walk away from them, without creating their US$10 million, for each person.
35. And now look at them and understand that the levels have shifted from [or since] election time I am now 10 times higher than I was then if not [20 times].
36. So the levels have shifted so you have been left behind if only you had traveled with me, step-by-step we would be here all of us so you have to give it time, then isn’t it?
37. Be patient then;
38. Let us wait for another three months let us get closer what has been given as it is okay let us keep quiet.
39. Keep silent while we wait for another job, hovering around for another government ministry project.
40. I just thought let me say good morning it is food for thought, there is no one I am insulting, have a good day.

In the heart of Norton, lies a tale of neglect and danger that affects the most vulnerable members of society – delivering mothers.

The plight of these women, who arrive at the Norton Hospital maternity ward full of hope and anticipation, is one tainted by the inadequate and unsanitary conditions they are forced to endure during a critical moment in their lives.

Norton MP Hon Richard Tsvangirai recently shone a light on this unsettling reality, criticizing the Zanu PF regime for failing to prioritize the well-being of delivering mothers in his constituency. In a scathing remark, he highlighted the perilous state of the main hospital and the unacceptable conditions faced by new mothers.

“Mnangagwa’s regime is killing delivering mothers softly by ignoring the dire situation at Norton Hospital,” Hon Tsvangirai emphasized.

The maternity ward at Norton Hospital witnesses the birth of 150 to 200 babies each month, a commendable effort facilitated by the dedicated nurses.

However, this noble work is overshadowed by a chilling reality – new mothers are compelled to bathe in a dirty and filthy tub.

This lack of hygiene not only strips these women of their dignity but also exposes them to unnecessary health risks.

“There’s no disease prevention while using that bath tub,” Hon Tsvangirai lamented, highlighting the immediate need for urgent action to rectify this appalling situation.

Adding to the dismay is the revelation that the Norton town council, responsible for collecting hospital fees, operates with a substantial budget. The question of why this management fails to address such a basic need as replacing the dilapidated bath tub remains unanswered.

The funds allocated for the betterment of healthcare infrastructure and the well-being of patients seem to have vanished into a void of neglect and mismanagement.

“The Norton town council has a duty to ensure that the facilities at Norton Hospital are conducive for the well-being of both patients and staff. It is an utter disgrace that delivering mothers are subjected to such deplorable conditions,” Hon Tsvangirai expressed, echoing the exasperation of many within the community.

The inadequacies within Norton Hospital serve as a stark reminder of the urgent reforms needed within the healthcare sector in Zimbabwe.

The lives of delivering mothers, who already navigate a precarious journey, should not be jeopardized due to the negligence and oversight of those in power.

By A Correspondent| Late former President Robert Mugabe’s spokesperson Jealousy Mawarire has called on the army to stage another coup against President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

This follows a widely circulated audio recording of controversial businessman and ex-convict Wicknell Chivhayo boasting that he now has grip over the government through Mnangagwa.

Posting on Twitter, Mawarire said in November 2017, the military staged a coup against Mugabe claiming to be targeting criminals around him, an almost similar situation now as Chivhayo seems to have self-confessed to capturing the state.

“If the Zimbabwe National Army did a coup to deal with perceived “criminals around the President” (Mugabe), isn’t there now a prima facie case for them to do another since this time, unlike during RGM’s time, the “criminals around the president” are self-confessing? Hanzi “ndakachibata kuti dzvii”, what is that? Isn’t that state capture? Vakomana, batai munhu! Come on, roll the tanks,sandiwo masystem yacho here?,” said Mawarire.

In the circulating audio, Chivhayo is heard boasting that he now has unfettered access to Mnangagwa who when he was travelling to Italy spoke to him after all the protocols and promised to call him upon arrival.

In a bid to address growing skepticism surrounding Zimbabwe’s freshly introduced Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) currency, Mr Emmerson Mnangagwa stepped forward to defend it in a recent statement issued by the ruling party, Zanu PF.

The Zanu PF President reassured the nation that ZiG is not just stable but also firmly backed by ample gold reserves, emphasizing trust in the currency’s robustness and its potential to drive economic growth.

According to the statement released over the weekend, Mnangagwa asserted, “ZiG Currency is Solid and Backed by Ample Gold Reserves.”

This declaration aimed to dispel doubts and restore faith in the country’s economic strategies under the new currency regime.

Mnangagwa’s remarks come as a response to increasing scrutiny and concerns over the viability and sustainability of ZiG since its inception on April 5.

Mnangagwa highlighted the significance of this milestone, emphasizing how the currency’s implementation has been pivotal in fostering confidence among both the local populace and international stakeholders regarding Zimbabwe’s economic future.

In his defense of the ZiG currency, Mnangagwa underlined that extensive research conducted by the government had substantiated the currency’s reliability and its promising prospects for economic growth.

The assurance of substantial gold reserves serving as a solid foundation for the currency implies a strategic move to cement ZiG’s position as a credible alternative to previously volatile monetary systems.

In response to criticisms regarding the sustainability of ZiG, Mnangagwa reiterated, “Developed over two years, ZiG has achieved public acceptance, ensuring exchange rate and price stability.”

This assertion not only reflects the President’s faith in Zimbabwe’s economic agenda but also signals a commitment to maintaining the newfound stability within the financial sector, critical for the country’s overall progress and development.

The government’s steadfast defense of the ZiG currency underscores a broader push to reshape Zimbabwe’s economic landscape, steering it towards a path of sustainability and growth.

President Mnangagwa’s unwavering stance on the reliability and robustness of ZiG serves as a rallying call to both national and international stakeholders, urging them to embrace and support Zimbabwe’s currency reforms.

By A Correspondent| Vice President Kembo Mohadi who was addressing a meeting in Harare recently

In a video making rounds on social media, Mohadi is seen making a speech in a very low tone, he continued to read until he reached a point where he could not continue to read while standing.

He is heard saying, “I can’t, I can’t…” said Mohadi while sitting down.

“He couldn’t stand and so they helped him to a chair. He spoke briefly after and after animated back stage discussions his presentation was cut short,” a witness said.

According to HSTV, journalists covering the event were later ordered to delete the footage of the incident.

Mohadi has had many health scares.

In October last year, he collapsed while addressing a Zanu PF by-election campaign launch for the Gutu West constituency.

Mohadi was delivering a lecture on the title ‘Liberation Movements and African Unity: Why Resilience Matters for Sustained Transformative Possibilities.’

He was conspicuously absent later when President Emmerson Mnangagwa aunched 17 schools in Chikomba constructed with assistance from the OPEC Fund for International Development.

The Curious Case of Zvimba Kids Hospitalized After Consuming Home-Cooked Food

Friday Morning at Matoranhembe Primary School

By Dorrothy Moyo | It was a typical Friday morning at Matoranhembe Primary School in the quiet district of Zvimba. Children filled the classrooms with their laughter and chatter, eagerly awaiting the weekend. Among them was a young girl who, unlike her peers, had an unusual burden. Her mother had handed her two lunch boxes filled with rice and soup, along with strict instructions on how to share the meal with her friends.

-Lunchtime Turns Tragic

As the lunch bell rang, the girl opened the lunch boxes, revealing a hearty meal that she had been instructed to share. Unaware of the impending danger, she invited seven of her classmates to join her in the feast. The children, excited for a change from their usual lunches, eagerly gathered around and began to eat.

-The First Signs of Trouble

Within an hour, the cheerful atmosphere turned grim. The children started to experience severe stomach pains, nausea, and dizziness. Teachers, alarmed by the sudden illness, quickly called for medical assistance. The eight pupils, including the girl who brought the food, were rushed to the nearest hospital in critical condition.

-Investigations Begin

The incident prompted an immediate investigation by the local police. Commissioner Paul Nyathi spearheaded the efforts to uncover the cause of the sudden illness. “Investigations carried out by the police revealed that a fellow school pupil brought the lunch box which contained home-prepared food after being given two lunch boxes by her parent. The parent gave her instructions on how to share the food,” he stated.

-Examining the Source

Attention quickly turned to the lunch boxes and their contents. Forensic teams collected samples of the rice and soup for laboratory analysis, aiming to determine if food poisoning or contamination was responsible for the children’s illness. Meanwhile, police interviewed the girl’s parents to understand more about the preparation and storage of the food.

-Community in Shock
The news spread rapidly through the Zvimba community, leaving parents and residents in shock and fear. The school temporarily halted its operations, and parents rushed to the hospital to check on their children and seek assurances from the authorities.

-Hospital Update
Doctors at the hospital worked tirelessly to stabilize the affected children. By the evening, the hospital released a statement saying that all eight children were in stable condition and responding to treatment. The quick medical response was credited with preventing a potentially worse outcome.

-Preliminary Findings

Preliminary lab results indicated that the food might have been contaminated with a harmful bacterium, possibly due to improper handling or storage. This finding led to further scrutiny of the conditions in which the food prepared and stored at home.

The incident served as a grim reminder of the importance of food safety. Schools in the region began to implement stricter policies regarding the sharing of food, and local health authorities launched a campaign to educate the community about safe food preparation practices.
