Chiwenga Fights Back, Flies To France

By Sports Reporter- Zanu PF youths have attacked Zanu PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa for blocking Vice President Constantino Chiwenga from the party’s succession race.

Zanu PF youths said Mutsvangwa should follow protocol and stop blasting Chiwenga in public.

The attack on Mutsvangwa happened Wednesday, soon after Chiwenga flew to the Paris Olympic Games.

Chiwenga is, however, also criticised for leading a staggering 67 officials to the Games, which only have seven athletes participating.

Chiwenga has jetted into Paris to attend the opening ceremony scheduled for Friday.

This marks a stark contrast to other nations, such as China, which has sent a formidable 338 athletes to the Olympics. Remarkably, China’s Sports Minister did not even make the trip, highlighting the disparity in delegation size and importance between the two countries.
Zimbabwe’s seven athletes will compete in athletics, rowing, and swimming. The representatives include sprinters Makanakaishe Charamba and Tapiwanashe Makarawu in the 200m dash, marathon runners Isaac Mpofu and Rutendo Nyahora, swimmers Paige van der Westhuizen and Denilson Cyprianos, and rower Stephen Cox.
Ringisai Mapondera, Team Zimbabwe’s chef de mission, confirmed the team’s arrival and settling in Paris. “At the moment in camp, we have Stephen Cox and Denilson. Denilson arrived today. We are expecting Paige later on today,” he said. He also mentioned the presence of a physiotherapist and a swimming coach, adding that the full team would assemble within a few days.
While Zimbabwe’s athletes are gearing up for their events, the massive entourage accompanying them has raised eyebrows. Among the officials are various dignitaries, many of whom have little direct involvement with the athletes’ preparation or performance. The delegation’s size, compared to the small number of competitors, has sparked widespread criticism.
Former Olympian Abel Chimukoko praised the athletes’ potential, expressing optimism about their performance. “The sprinters, Makarawu and Charamba, are stars. Isaac Mpofu is a top contender in the marathon,” Chimukoko said, emphasising the need for support and investment in sports to achieve better results.
However, the disproportionate number of officials has overshadowed these positive notes. Critics argue that the resources spent on non-essential personnel could have been better utilised to support the athletes and improve their training conditions.
The Vice President’s presence in Paris is said to be part of a broader diplomatic mission, with business meetings lined up to further Zimbabwe’s engagement and re-engagement efforts on the international stage. Yet, this has done little to quell the discontent at home. 
As the Games progress, Zimbabweans will be watching closely, not only to support their athletes but also to scrutinise the delegation’s composition and its implications for the nation’s sports administration. The official opening ceremony of the Games is scheduled for Friday, and the competition will run until August 11.

Mugabe Minister Arrested Again

By Political Reporter- Former Deputy Minister of Information Bright Matonga, has been arrested again, this time for theft.

Matonga was arrested last month on allegations of stealing farming equipment.

Following his arrest on 25 June 2024, Matonga was subsequently granted US$600 bail by Chegutu Magistrate, Evelyn Mashawakure.

However, Matonga’s legal troubles appear to be far from over, as he has now been arrested once more, this time on accusations of theft of irrigation pipes.

Matonga’s lawyer, Innocent Muchini of Muchini Attorneys told The Herald that Matonga was arrested on Wednesday morning on allegations of theft of irrigation pipes. Said Muchini:

He called me in the morning over the issue. The allegations are not clear. I am driving to Chegutu to attend to the matter and will share all the information once I get the facts.

When Matonga was arrested last month, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) outlined the charges he was facing as follows:

Count 1

The accused person is facing allegations of theft emanating from an incident which happened on the 10th of December2021 when he unlawfully took two John Deere tractors belonging to the complainant from Monchris (Landos) farm in Selous and took them to his farm. The accused person owns the Chigwell farm in Chegutu. The tractors are valued at USD70 000 and were both recovered.

Count 2

The accused person is jointly charged with his employee, Wasili Wisili on allegations of theft. The State is alleging that on the 19th of February 2016, the complainant, Talbec Investments Pvt Ltd represented by David Leonard Van Breda entered into a joint venture with the first accused person who is the owner of Chigwell farm in Chegutu. The agreement gave the complainant farming rights on the said farm for up to 15 years. Upon occupying the farm, the complainant equipped the farm with farm implements and machinery valued at USD414 888. The complainant only operated on the farm for six years before his employees were evicted by the first accused person on the 11th of December 2021 and they left behind all their farm equipment, implements as well as consumables. It is alleged that sometime in December 2021, the first and second accused persons instructed Chigwell Farm employees to open the warehouse at the farm and load farming equipment and implements belonging to the complainant onto vehicles on multiple occasions. They took the farm implements to a destination unknown to the State.

Matonga served as the Deputy Information Minister in the cabinet of the late former President, Robert Mugabe.

In 2016 Matonga was reported to have been blamed for the rundown of Chigwell Estate in Chegutu. It was reported that the farm before Matonga took over would sustain the livelihood of about 500 people and help Zimbabwe’s annual revenue with $4 million in exports.

In July 2020, Bright Matonga was listed, in the BSR of 18 July 2020, as a beneficiary in the 2007 RBZ Farm Mechanisation Scheme, as a result of the Fast Track Land Reform Programme.

He is listed under the thematic group “Politicians”. According to the list, he got goods worth US$359,420.00.

Police Bust R2 Billion Drug Lab

South Africa- Police have dismantled an R2 billion drug lab in Limpopo, arresting three Mexican nationals and several locals involved in the operation.

The Limpopo Hawks and SAPS revealed that the drug lab, located on a farm in Groblersdal, is the largest ever discovered in the country.

Hawks spokesperson Katlego Mogale stated that the team had received a tip-off about suspicious activities at the property. 

Upon arrival, they discovered four structures filled with chemicals used in manufacturing illicit drugs, including acetone and crystal meth. The haul’s estimated street value is R2 billion.

Four suspects, including the farm owner and two Mexican nationals, were arrested. 

The suspects will appear in the Groblersdal Magistrate’s Court on Monday, facing charges of manufacturing, dealing, and possession of illicit drugs. 

The Hawks have not ruled out further arrests as the investigation continues.

Last month, another drug lab was found in Gauteng, where police seized 4,000 mandrax tablets worth R200,000 from a 40-year-old Nigerian man in Vereeniging. 

During the search of another property in the area, police found additional drugs, including nine packets of CAT, three packets of crystal meth, and 1,300 mandrax tablets, along with materials used in drug production.

A 39-year-old Nigerian man was arrested.

Additionally, a week ago, police discovered a drug lab in De Deur, Gauteng.

Acting on a tip-off, the Sedibeng Flying Squad and K9 Unit found equipment and materials valued at approximately R2.3 million, arresting four suspects aged between 37 and 56.

The Hawks have uncovered ten clandestine drug laboratories since the start of the year, leading to 34 arrests.

Manchester City Cling To De Bruyne

Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has dismissed rumours linking Kevin De Bruyne with an exit this summer.

Reports emerged on Monday suggesting that De Bruyne, who has a year remaining on his current deal, is in talks with Saudi Pro League club Al Ittihad.

Speaking ahead of City’s friendly against Celtic in North Carolina, USA, Guardiola declared that the Belgian midfielder is not leaving the club.

“Kevin isn’t leaving,” the gaffer told the reporters.

“If someone leaves, we’re going to talk about that.”

Brazil goalkeeper Ederson has also been the subject of interest from Saudi Arabia.

But Guardiola feels it is more likely he will have the same squad as last season.

He added: “Of course, until the last day, we have chances (to make transfers), I don’t rule out the option to have new players but I think there is an 85/90 per cent chance we will have the same squad.

“I feel comfortable, because the quality of human beings we have in the squad is difficult to be replaced, and the quality is there.

“But we’ll see, I don’t know in the last moment if someone comes for some players and they leave, we’re going to decide.”

Millers Commence Traditional Grain Processing

By Business Reporter- The Grain Millers Association of Zimbabwe (GMAZ) has initiated the processing of traditional grains to enhance health and well-being among Zimbabweans.

These small grains include sorghum, millet, rapoko, and groundnuts, among others.

Previously, local millers focused on processing maize and wheat while also packaging rice, beans, and salt.

The new products that GMAZ has begun producing will be showcased at the inaugural United Nations Gastronomy Forum, set to be held in Zimbabwe’s Victoria Falls Resort town, from July 26-28, 2024.

The event is spearheaded by the First Lady, Auxilia Mnangagwa.

In a statement on Wednesday, GMAZ National Chair Tafadzwa Musarara thanked the First Lady for her creative efforts that have culminated in this event.

He also applauded the government for providing the milling industry with an opportunity to showcase their new products, enhancing the family basket.

“This event heralds the rise of a new food revolution that decolonizes consumer food preferences, promotes a balanced diet, and accelerates the fight against non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and high blood pressure,” said Musarara.
“We are excited about this new development, which is well-positioned to attract a new niche of the tourist market. This commercialization endeavor is a first in Africa and should be replicated across the Global South,” he added.

GMAZ is also in the process of importing maize from the region and abroad to avert looming hunger.

The association aims to import 1.4 million metric tonnes of maize.

Musarara recently led a 20-member delegation to São Paulo, Brazil, to negotiate grain importation.

Unmasking Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Pretence

It is quite disturbing that members of the SADC region are falling over each other to condemn Israel for the war against Palestine while they wine and dine with the black apartheid government of Zimbabwe in their own region that has committed genocide against Matabeles in which over 40 000 innocent Matabele civilians including women and children were slaughtered.

What is more disgusting is the fact that Zimbabwe, which is the perpetrator of Matabele genocide and tribal oppression of more than 5 million Matabeles is more vocal in supporting the two state solution between Israel and Palestine while it is denying Matabeles the same right to self determination.

In 2015, Matabeleland Liberation Organisation- MLO President, Cde Paul Siwela, on behalf of MLO, delivered a Notice of Demand for the Restoration of Matabeleland State which shall join the family of nations as The Republic of Matabeleland- RoM.

Copies of the Notice of Demand were also distributed to all SADC countries and other African states as we have nothing to hide and our cause is just.

The Zimbabwe President by then, late Robert Mugabe pretended as if did not know anything about the notice until he was overthrown through a military coup by Emmerson Mnangagwa and died in exile in 2017.

Mr Mnangagwa continues to bury his head in the sand concerning Matabeleland restoration cause, lifting it up only when he issues death threats to all Matabeles who are fearlessly and unapologetically demanding the restoration of Matabeleland state.

Currently, the Zimbabwe government is conducting an illegal process named ” Gukurahundi Hearings” in which the perpetrator is the judge and jury in his own case of genocide to minimise the scale of genocide, get rid of evidence cleanse self of Matabele blood and give a false narrative of the whole situation.

MLO and the people of Matabeleland are saddened and pained by the perpetrator’s lack of remorse and heartlessness. We take this as disrespect of the dead and living Matabele genocide victims and provocation that must not go unpunished.

Again, our brothers and sisters in the SADC region, Africa and the world are turning a blind eye to diabolical events and injustcies taking place in Zimbabwe against Matabeles.

It seems there are some tribes and governments in the SADC region and Africa that are given the license to wantonly murder and tribally oppress others. And there are some that must be permanent slaves of others to be continuasly slaughtered and oppressed abused.

“If you are neutral in the situations of injustice you have taken the side of the oppressor” Achibishorp Desmond Tutu once said. It is clear that our African brothers from the SADC region and beyond are taking the side of the perpetrator in Zimbabwe.

We call upon all peace loving good people and organisations in the world to support the two state solution in Zimbabwe that will permanently solve Matabele genocide, tribal oppression, Matabele- Shona tribal animosity and political abuse of the people of Matabeleland in Zimbabwe.

Our demands to the government of Zimbabwe are as follows:

i) restoration of Matabeleland state as at 3 November 1893

ii) payment of US$ 100 billion reparations for Matabele genocide

iii) unconditional withdrawal of trumped up treason charges and warrant of arrest against MLO President Cde Paul Siwela

Harare Mbinga Fails To Pay Rent, Kicked Out Of Premises

By Showbiz Reporter- Harare socialite and businessman Tinashe Mutarisi has been evicted from his rented business premises in Bulawayo due to nonpayment of rent.

Mutarisi’s leading furniture company, Nash Furnitures, a subsidiary of Nash Holdings, was forced out of its location at the corner of 10th Avenue and George Silundika.

This eviction occurred just a week after the Messenger of Court seized high-end sofas and other furniture items from the company as part of debt collection measures.
According to reports, the eviction stemmed from the company’s failure to pay rent.

Mutarisi is the founder and chairman of Nash Paints, a top paint manufacturing and distribution company in Zimbabwe, which also falls under Nash Holdings.

He is well-known for promoting young and upcoming musicians in the country, often competing with the controversial preacher Passion Java for social media attention.

Unlike Java, whose wealth is often scrutinized, Mutarisi’s financial success is well-documented.

Both men are also closely associated with the ruling Zanu PF party.

FULL TEXT: Union Says Obert Masaraure Remains A Teacher

The government of Zimbabwe, in the form of the Ministry of Primary and Secondary education through the Public Service Commission has once again trampled on the basic rights of workers in Zimbabwe by illegally and unilaterally discharging Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) President from his teaching position.

The government employed the usual modus operandi of concocting strange non-existent charges against President Masaraure.

We on behalf of the Union tried to engage the employer over the issue. Our spirited efforts of engagement were stonewalled as staffers whom we met were hesitant and even afraid of engaging. Some powerful force was apparently leaning on them. Call it duress or undue influence if you like.

The government proceeded to cease the President’s salary for more than 5 years. We naturally pressed for the remuneration of the President only for the government to discharge him of his employment.

The government as an employer has always been an insincere coward who engages workers in bad faith. Our Union President Cde Obert Masaraure is a passionate patriotic award winning Science Teacher whose only crime was leading the majority of patriotic teachers in their correct legitimate fight for reasonable working conditions.

It is not Cde Obert Masaraure’s fault that the government has been paying dog’s tax to teachers for decades. He simply highlighted this plight and engaged the government in good faith within the constitutional provisions and parameters of the land. His victimisation through termination of his employment contract once again confirms the brutal vindictiveness and primitive bullying propensity of the government.

ARTUZ wishes to categorically and unequivocally reject, here and now, the illegal discharge of the President. We wish to make it clear, as we hereby do, that we will use all means necessary and unnecessary to fight and reverse this monumental injustice. We will leave no stone unturned and no turn unstoned as we claim justice for the President. All legal apparatus have since been activated to correct this illegality. Let be known that all teachers in particular and all workers in general stand behind and with our Union President against this injustice. We will provide leadership and direction until Cde Masaraure is reinstated and restitution is effected. That is a promise.

For now we declare without any avoidance of doubt that Cde Obert Masaraure remains a teacher in good standing. We treated the unlawful discharge letter as another just piece of toilet paper that we have already used it in the rightful ablution facility and flushed it to the sewage plant.

The struggle continues.

For and on behalf of Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ)

Secretary General

Cde Robson Nikita Chere.

VP Chiwenga Stampedes 67 Crowd To Paris Olympics As China Arrives Without Any Govt Minister

Controversy Surrounds Zimbabwe’s Olympic Delegation

By Sports Reporter | ZimEye | Harare, Zimbabwe – July 24, 2024 | As the 2024 Paris Olympic Games prepare to kick off, Zimbabwe finds itself at the center of controversy over the size and composition of its delegation. With only seven athletes set to compete, the country has sent a staggering 67 officials to the Games, including an ailing Ceremonial Vice President, Dr. Constantino Chiwenga.

Vice President Chiwenga has jetted into Paris to attend the opening ceremony scheduled for Friday. This marks a stark contrast to other nations, such as China, which has sent a formidable 338 athletes to the Olympics. Remarkably, China’s Sports Minister did not even make the trip, highlighting the disparity in delegation size and importance between the two countries.

DEVELOPING: 15 Zimbabwean, South African Trafficking Victims Trapped in Thailand

By A Correspondent| A ZimEye source has alerted us to a case involving approximately 15 girls from Zimbabwe and South Africa who were recently trafficked to Thailand after being misled with promises of high paying jobs in Dubai.

Their passports have been confiscated and are locked away, making escape impossible.

According to the source, one of the victims, a South African girl named Hlengiwe Ndhlovu, video-called her parents using a South African number and shared her location, which turned out to be in Thailand. The location she sent can be found here. During the call, her parents noticed her visibly swollen face, likely due to abuse from her captors.

“Hi ZimEye, how are you? I have a case of girls who were taken from South Africa under the pretense of going to Dubai but are now in Cambodia. This came to light yesterday after one of the girls video-called her parents with a swollen face and sent her location. She left in May. Their passports were taken away and they are locked in and unable to leave,” the ZimEye source reported.

ZimEye has tracked Hlengiwe’s father, Sonnyboy Ndhlovu who confirmed that her daughter is in Thailand and last spoke to her on Sunday.

On Wednesday, Ndhlovu said he tried calling her daughter on the mobile number she used but could not reach her and was getting worried.

“I couldn’t get hold of her and I’m getting worried,” he told ZimEye.

He said he has since reported the matter to South African police and Interpol who are now seized with the matter.

Zimbabwe is grappling with human trafficking, exacerbated by economic hardships. Recently, a woman named Caroline Zinyanga was sentenced to 90 years in prison for trafficking nine girls to Oman. Additionally, a police officer named Forward Mashonganyika and another individual, Tendai Muswe, were convicted of human trafficking after luring Zimbabwean job seekers to Oman, where they were subjected to slave labor and sexual exploitation.

The US State Department’s Trafficking in Persons Report describes Zimbabwe as “one of the Sub-Saharan African nations grappling with a serious undercurrent of human trafficking.” The report highlights that Zimbabwe has become a source, destination, and transit point for human trafficking. Traffickers exploit Zimbabwean women in domestic servitude, forced labor, and sex trafficking in Iraq, Kenya, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, the People’s Republic of China (PRC), and Uganda, often under the guise of legitimate employment.

Unlike Baba Harare, Paul Of Bible Never Abandoned His Jiti-Entertainment Venue Business After Conversion, He Increased It

Musician Baba Harare posing to become a pastor after conversion. Pics – Baba Harare, Pastor Aldridge Marufu Church

By Religion Editor | ZimEye | A notion has been developed that artists must abandon their businesses after conversion to Christianity. This belief imposes that the music business is a form of worship and so people like Baba Harare Braveman Chizvino, must ditch it and become pastors. Chizvino has since adopted it and cut off his hair so he can become a pastor.

Unlike @Baba Harare, the Bible author Paul of Tarsus didn’t stop his Jiti-entertainment venue provider-business, he actually increased it… that’s how he funded his preaching, not from tithes or offerings, and because he didn’t stop his entertainment venue services, he was effective to the point of writing almost 3 quarters of the new testament, a career he paid for with his own sweat, and he prescribed that no pastor should earn from tithes (Acts 20:32), and that good leadership must be funded from people’s professions, which they must not stop doing.

    The lifestyle the great author of the new testament teaches, is contrary to what mordeners like Ezekiel Guti have led musicians like Biggie Tembo to do, who’ve ended vaakuzviuraya, in dejection. Instead of donating money to Tembo and other musicians so that they can generate more income, Guti leads them to convert selves into pastors, the same way his business, ZAOGA deceives aboriginal citizens to become clergymen just in order to chop the Australian Govt’s community grants (see article in the comments).

    The pastors abuse the musicians’ ignorance to advertise their church businesses, the way @Aldridge is doing.

    These new comers like Guti et al have invented their own form of religion that kills economies, because persons of Harare’s stature are capable of bringing USD4billion into the economy monthly as taxes (just 4 million of such citizens earning an average USD3,000 monthly income), just as they feed their own families. But alas business facilities are turned into cult buildings.

    Another example of a lost soul is a highly paid music band manager in the 60s, who after converting to Christ, missed his first appointment to run the Beatles band durijg the infancy, when he chose to go and lead a Bible Study group instead, during a moment that could have helped shape the morals of the famous band and in turn influence the world with the very same spiritual values he wished to do. That man ended up crashing his entire career and eventually became a cult leader.

    Hope this is not where Harare is heading.

    Teacher In Trouble For Possessing Drugs

    SEŠHEGO TEACHER IN HOT WATER AFTER HE WAS FOUND IN POSSESSION OF DRUGS WORTH R20 000

    POLOKWANE: A 33 – year old Sešhego teacher is set to face disciplinary action after he was found in possession of drugs in Polokwane last week.

    The educator from Tlakale Mashashane Commercial school was arrested by SAPS in the Polokwane CBD on Tuesday, 16 July 2024, after the vehicle he was traveling in was searched.

    Marondera Man Brutally Kills Wife

    A man from Marondera, who allegedly murdered his wife and son on Sunday night in a suspected case of domestic violence, has been arrested.

    Ezekiel Chibvongodze who was staying with his wife and child in the Nyameni area of Marondera, is alleged to have stabbed his 26-year-old wife and six-year-old son over an unknown issue at around 8 pm Sunday night.

    A fellow tenant, Egenia Bhainai, said she heard the now-deceased woman screaming and went to investigate only to discover that she had been stabbed together with her son.

    “When I heard the screaming, I went to investigate only to realise the woman had been stabbed, while the child had the knife at the back and had died in the house, while the woman died outside trying to seek help,” she said.

    Chibvongodze allegedly went on to drink poison and later handed himself to the police.

    Scores of onlookers and relatives were gathered at the house as the police brought the suspect for indications.

    Blood stains could be seen in and outside the house.

    Sikhala Slams Mr Mnangagwa

    By Hon Job Sikhala

    For 595 days, I was thrown in solitary confinement shackled in chains like a terrorist and suffered the most horrible abuse any person can be put under by the criminal regime in Harare for allegedly inciting public violence to revenge the gruesome murder of Moreblessing Ali.

    I told all who cared to listen to me that I did not commit any crime in my professional calling to represent the Moreblessing Ali family.

    I told all of you that it was the evilness that resided in the hearts of those who ran our country , and it was political persecution to remove me from the 2023 general elections.

    Today, the High Court sat in Harare to hear my two appeals, one fake conviction of publishing falsehoods and another one of inciting public violence to revenge the death of Moreblessing Ali.

    The High Court acquitted me in the two cases. There was concurrence by the state that the first case was a wrong conviction based on the law that does not exist at all.

    In the second case of Moreblessing Ali, the state agreed that there was no evidence at all in the record, showing that I incited anyone.

    To those who have been used to persecuting me, my family, and everyone associated with me, remember there is God in heaven.

    Your day of judgement shall also come. The nonsense peddled that it then defeats our view that the judiciary is captured when it comes to political prisoners is scandalous as its peddlers.

    Where, there is no evidence that even a kraalhead would convict leaves judiciary officers of dignity with no option but to uphold their dignity by throwing away fake convictions.

    Zimbabweans Hold Demo Outside Zimbabwe Embassy demanding Mnangagwa To Go

    By Diana Machingauta| Zimbabweans held a protest outside the Zimbabwe Embassy in London, on the 19th of July 2024, demanding the release of Senator Jameson Timba and 78 other opposition members who are incarcerated.

    These individuals were detained in Avondale on June 16th during a private function commemorating the International Day of the African Child.

    The protesters also called for a fresh election in Zimbabwe, following last year’s elections which were condemned by the international community, including the Southern African Development Community (SADC), for not being free and fair and failing to meet SADC principles and guidelines.

    Additionally, the protesters demanded that Mr Mnangagwa should not oversee the Gukurahundi Genocide hearings, as he is the main perpetrator in the murder of over 20,000 citizens from Matabeleland and Midlands.

    The overarching demand of the protesters was for Mr. Mnangagwa to step down, citing him as the cause of the above-mentioned matters.

    WindFall For Gwekwerere 

    By Sports Reporter-Former Dynamos FC striker Evans Gwekwerere has reportedly been paid a portion of a US$27,000 Dembare owed him to guarantee Glamour Boys’ participation in the upcoming 2024/25 CAF Confederation Cup.

    Gwekwerere had claimed that his former employer, Dynamos, owed him US$27,000 following his different stints with the club.

    The intervention of the Football Union of Zimbabwe (FUZ) helped Gwekwerere approach CAF, who was prepared to block Dynamos from taking part in the Confederation Cup.

    As part of the CAF men’s club licensing regulations, clubs must prove that they have no outstanding disputes related to overdue payments before being granted the necessary licenses to participate in inter-club competitions.

    In response, the Dynamos executive reportedly pooled resources and managed to pay Gwekwerere US$17,000, with an agreement to settle the remaining amount in batches within the next three months.

    It was further reported that the parties agreed to a reduced total payment of US$20,000, instead of the initial US$27,000 claimed by the player.

    A portion of the initial payment came from the gate receipts when Dynamos hosted their local rivals, Highlanders, in a recent match. Said a source:

    To be precise it is only one player, not three and it is Evans. He had a special case that went through the courts and he won his case a long way back.

    Since then, the club hasn’t come forward to pay him his dues and the current executive just inherited that debt. The issue was overlooked and the club failed to comply with a court order all these years.

    The player approached FUZ which we believe advised him to report the case to CAF ahead of our participation in the Confed Cup.

    Nowadays, the rules don’t allow teams to participate in competitions when they have debts and owe players money and we believe Evans and FUZ took advantage of that and approached CAF.

    This situation meant the club was going to fail the criteria for club licensing and we weren’t going to participate in the African Safari.

    Dynamos are scheduled to face off against Zambian club ZESCO United in a two-leg preliminary first-round tie of the 2024/25 CAF Confederation Cup, set to take place between August 16 and 25.

    Tariro Authenticates Chivhayo Chats

    By Showbiz Reporter- Radio personality Tariro Gezi had an authenticated chat with the fraudster and controversial businessman Wicknell Chivayo but firmly denied any romantic involvement.

    Gezi, is one of the women whose chats with Chivayo were leaked last week.

    She authenticated the exchange but said it was purely professional.

    “Wicknell is a public figure that I admire, but I’m not one for scandals. The only time I spoke to him was when I was trying to assist musician Greatman in getting an electric wheelchair after Greatman posted his plea to Chivayo on Facebook,” Gezi explained.
    “I then took that post and sent it to Chivayo’s DM, and I don’t see that as a bad move. I was only trying to help. It’s sad that the internet is now used as a tool to destroy careers. I’ve never called or met Chivayo in person. It was just that innocent Instagram chat, and I think the leaked chats are a way of trying to discredit what I’ve built over the years. I didn’t flirt with Chivayo.”
    In the past, Gezi has faced rumours of being romantically involved with musicians Jah Prayzah and Baba Harare, allegations she has consistently denied.

    Gezi leads a single mothers’ support group called “My Sister’s Keeper” and is the founder of the philanthropic brand “Kwana Kwana.”

    Born and raised in Queenspark East, Bulawayo, by her late grandmother, Gezi attended Thomas Rudland Primary School and Regina Mundi High School in Bulawayo before relocating to Chiredzi and later to Harare.

    Police’s $10,000 Reward for A Nameless Suspect Who Stole from A Nameless Company

    By Farai D Hove | ZimEye | The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has issued a public appeal for information regarding a fraud suspect, accompanied by a substantial reward of $10,000. The suspect, whose photograph is prominently displayed in the ZRP press statement, is accused of defrauding a Bulawayo-based firm of $300,000. However, an investigative dive into the suspect’s history reveals that his only known and documented offense is his involvement in the infamous 2018 June White City bombing. This raises significant questions about the ZRP’s current charges and their true intentions.

    – The Press Statement

    The ZRP’s press release dated July 23, 2024, urgently seeks public assistance in identifying and locating a man involved in a significant fraud case. According to the ZRP, the suspect defrauded a local firm in Bulawayo of $300,000 before disappearing. The statement promises a reward of $10,000 for credible information leading to his arrest.

    -The Suspect’s Controversial Past

    The suspect’s image in the press statement unmistakably identifies him as a figure linked to the 2018 June White City bombing, an attack that sent shockwaves across the nation. This incident occurred at a rally in Bulawayo and was one of the most high-profile acts of political violence in recent Zimbabwean history. Despite being a well-known figure due to this event, the ZRP’s statement omits any reference to his past, focusing solely on the alleged fraud.

    – Inconsistencies in the Police Claims

    Several inconsistencies in the ZRP’s current claims are worth noting:
    1. The ZRP has not named the company allegedly defrauded by the suspect. Given the magnitude of the fraud, one would expect the victimized company to be identified, if not for transparency, then for public verification of the claim.

    2. **Timing and Motives:** The timing of this press release is curious. The suspect has been relatively low-profile since the 2018 bombing incident. The sudden resurgence of interest in him, under the guise of a fraud charge, raises questions about the underlying motives of the ZRP.

    3. Reward Size: The $10,000 reward is unusually high for a fraud case in Zimbabwe, where economic constraints often limit such offers. This discrepancy suggests that the ZRP may have alternative motives for apprehending this individual.

    – A Deeper Motive?

    Several sources suggest that the ZRP’s intense focus on this suspect may be politically motivated. The faceless suspect’s alleged involvement in the 2018 bombing has made him a figure of considerable interest and potential leverage within political circles. By framing him for a high-profile financial crime, the ZRP might be aiming to either neutralize a perceived threat or someone connecter to an influential contender.

    Speculation is rife that the faceless suspects is a state seurity mole who sought to kill Vice President Constantino Chiwenga and his then wife, Marry, in 2018 for Emmerson Mnangagwa’s gain, and he is feared to have switched sides.

    – Public Reaction and Legal Implications

    The public’s reaction to the ZRP’s statement has been mixed. While some citizens are eager to see any form of justice served, others are skeptical of the police’s motives, especially given the suspect’s controversial history. Legal experts have also raised concerns about the lack of transparency and the potential misuse of law enforcement for political purposes.

    The ZRP’s recent press statement and the substantial reward offered for the arrest of a suspect with a well-documented past raise significant concerns. The inconsistencies in the ZRP’s narrative, coupled with the suspect’s history, suggest that there may be more at play than a straightforward fraud case. As this story unfolds, it is crucial for the media and the public to scrutinize the actions of the ZRP and demand transparency and accountability in this high-stakes situation. – ZimEye

    Zanu PF Infighting Reaches Alarming Level

    Is History repeating itself or Not…

    Leading up to 2018 elections, in December 2014 Jonathan Moyo was on BBC Hardtalk saying the then VP ED Mnangagwa was not anointed to take over

    10yrs later Chris Mutsvangwa says the same thing to the current VP

    The 2014 to 2017 was a very difficult period wherein we lost economic and social development time due to overbearing and toxic politics and as Zimbabweans l guess we must not allow what happened before to happen now for the betterment of our economy

    Eventually the legacy was restored in November 2017.

    From 2017 to date we have witnessed development and stability under the Leadership of President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa

    Zimbabweans , lets put our country first, allow our constitutional processes, values and principles to guide us

    Let’s not lose developments momentum.

    We want our currency to be stable… that should be the focus……. for we know in the end, good and right will prevail

    Let’s be focused as a Nation

    Mnangagwa, Chiwenga Power Struggles Escalate

    Political Reporter-As power struggles intensify in the ruling party, Zanu PF has called for an urgent Politburo meeting on Wednesday.

    The party’s acting Secretary General, Advocate Jacob Mudenda, announced that all members are expected to attend the meeting on Wednesday, July 24th, 2024, at 10:00 AM at the Zanu PF headquarters.

    Although Mudenda stated that the primary agenda would be to provide an update on preparations for the 44th SADC Summit, sources within the party indicate that the power struggle between Emmerson Mnangagwa and his deputy Constantino Chiwenga will be a significant topic.

    Over the weekend, Mutsvangwa gave an interview to The Standard, where he publicly opposed  Chiwenga’s takeover from Mnangagwa, advocating instead for Mnangagwa’s successor to be elected.

    Former Norton MP Temba Mliswa has claimed that Mutsvangwa harbours presidential aspirations, which is corroborated by Mutsvangwa’s consistent criticism of Chiwenga. 

    This internal conflict traces back to the 2017 coup led by Chiwenga, which ousted former President Robert Mugabe and installed Mnangagwa as the leader.

    The original plan of the junta promised that Mnangagwa would serve two terms before handing power to Chiwenga without an election. 

    However, Mnangagwa’s supporters, including Mutsvangwa, seem to be reneging on this agreement.

    Mutsvangwa, a staunch Mnangagwa ally, has openly stated that Chiwenga should face an election to become Mnangagwa’s successor. 

    In a recent interview with The Standard, he asserted, “There is no godly anointment in Zanu PF. Zanu PF is not a church where people can be anointed. The president is not the Pope of the Catholic Church or the Archbishop of Canterbury, who anoints priests.” He emphasized that all political aspirants must abide by democratic principles, saying, “Everyone who goes into politics and has an ambition to be a leader must play by the rules, especially of a revolutionary democratic party. That’s why the president was very clear, saying, ‘I will not usurp the decision-making powers of the people of Zimbabwe or the membership of Zanu PF – I will retire.’”

    Mutsvangwa further compared the ruling party’s processes to religious organizations, arguing that Zanu PF operates democratically, unlike churches where leaders can unilaterally appoint successors.

    “Zanu PF is not Makandiwa’s church where he can have himself, his wife, his kids, and his followers say this is my church. President Mnangagwa is an elected leader of a revolutionary democratic party,” he concluded.

    This power struggle within Zanu PF raises questions about the future leadership of Zimbabwe and the party’s commitment to democratic processes amidst internal rivalries.

    Government of Unity to build a better South Africa

    The South African government of national unity (GNU) was formed just a month after the 2024 elections and the ANC leaders believes that this is part of building a better South Africa.

    Ramaphosa said he had told cabinet ministers that there should not be any competition among parties to the GNU “to outdo each other or lay claim to the policies that we collectively adopt”.

    The other mandate of GNU includes boosting of the South African economy and creating of jobs.

    President Ramaphosa delivered the Opening of Parliament Address on Thursday night followed by a debate by political parties regarding the forming of government of national unity (GNU).

    “We are now a Government of National Unity, formed in the cause of rebuilding our nation. We are committed to putting our differences aside and working together for the common good. I’m really pleased that the members of the [GNU] demonstrated a unity of purpose and the commitment they have to advancing the interests of all South Africans during the debate and in what they will be doing as leaders of the [GNU].

    “Behind us are 62 million South Africans who want and need us to succeed. And we will succeed as the [GNU] even though others don’t wish us well, succeed we shall. As Minister [Pieter] Groenewald has said, we have before us an opportunity to restore and build. So let us use this opportunity. In the challenging and difficult times, we live; this unity will be our comfort, the unity that we are forging our courage, and it will be our greatest strength.

    “It is time to get South Africa working again,” said the President

    Despite the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) not being part of the Government of National Unity (GNU), President Cyril Ramaphosa is convinced that the will succeed in building a better South Africa.

    South African Labour activation programmes to create Jobs – Minister Nxesi

    The Department of Employment and Labour Minister, T.W. Nxesi announced that the department through its entity, the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF), will enter into partnerships with private business, SETAs and NGOs to create thousands of employment opportunities for residents of South Africa.

    Addressing the Nation, Nxesi said that in the face of rising unemployment, all efforts to create jobs in South Africa should be welcomed.

    “It is very important that we respond to the challenge of unemployment, and plan together to implement strategies to mitigate it on an ongoing basis. We believe that government, working together with all stakeholders, has a major role to play in mitigating unemployment, and creating and preserving jobs,” said the Minister.

    The event commenced with an Employer Breakfast Session, where Minister Nxesi was leading discussions on labour market issues, and mitigating to address unemployment in the country.

    Addressing a gathering of employers during the Jobs and Careers Fair Breakfast session in April, Minister Nxesi said unemployment and employment has nothing to do with politics.

    “I want to repeat this, employment or no employment knows no politics, it’s a crisis facing our young people. So when we deal with the issue of unemployment, we must know that we are dealing with a crisis which is facing our young people.

    “And we are saying, we are interacting with all the Premiers, but our intention is very simple because the Premiers have the authority to talk with their Departments and their Municipalities. At the end of the day, if we want these programmes to be relevant they must come to the district and local municipalities and that is our logic,” said Minister Nxesi.

    The launch was attended by labour activation programme beneficiaries, project owners, various MECs from the provincial government, as well as senior government officials.

    Participants that will be hired and trained in the programme will be selected through the Department of Employment and Labour’s Employment Services of South Africa database (ESSA).

    Impact of the 2024 Euro U21 Championship on Senior National Teams

    Explore how the 2024 Euro U21 Championship standout players could influence senior national teams with potential call-ups, expected impacts on international fixtures, and intriguing storylines.

    U21 Euros: The Next Generation of Talent

    The 2024 UEFA European Under-21 Championship has provided thrilling football action and served as a beacon of hope for the future of senior national teams. The emerging talents showcased in this tournament are poised to impact their respective senior national teams significantly. As the tournament concludes, football enthusiasts and national team managers are filled with optimism, keenly analysing standout players’ performances and contemplating their potential call-ups for upcoming international fixtures. Keep an eye on free livescore to analyse the games and potential of promising young footballers.

    Standout Performances and Potential Call-Ups

    • Rising Stars Ready for Senior Team Duties

    One of the most talked-about prospects is Spain’s Alejandro Serrano, whose creative midfield play and vision have drawn comparisons to legends like Xavi and Iniesta. Serrano’s ability to control the game’s tempo and deliver incisive passes makes him a prime candidate for the senior squad as Spain bolsters its midfield options ahead of the next major tournaments.

    Similarly, Italy’s Luca Bellini has been a revelation in defence, showcasing a blend of physicality and tactical awareness reminiscent of Giorgio Chiellini. His performances have caught the eye of Roberto Mancini, and a call-up to the senior team seems imminent. Bellini’s inclusion could give Italy a reliable defensive option as they prepare for the World Cup qualifiers.

    England’s forward, Marcus Thompson, has also turned heads with his goal-scoring prowess. His ability to find the back of the net in crucial moments has been instrumental in England’s U21 campaign. Given England’s current need for a reliable striker, Thompson’s transition to the senior team could inject fresh energy into their attacking lineup.

    • Midfield Maestros and Defensive Stalwarts

    Germany’s Max Müller has emerged as a midfield powerhouse, displaying exceptional work rate and versatility. Müller’s knack for breaking up opposition play and initiating counterattacks has made him a standout performer. Hansi Flick, Germany’s senior team coach, will likely consider Müller for upcoming fixtures, especially with the need to inject youth into the squad.

    France’s Adrien Laurent has been nothing short of spectacular in defence. His commanding presence and ability to read the game have earned him plaudits from pundits and fans alike. With the senior team’s defence needing reinforcements, Laurent’s seamless integration could be a game-changer for France.

    Expected Impact on Upcoming International Fixtures

    • Fresh Talent Enhancing Team Dynamics

    Infusing these young talents into the senior teams will bring a new dynamic to international fixtures and a fresh perspective. The perfect balance of youthful vitality and seasoned know-how can produce a dominant squad. For instance, Alejandro Serrano’s creativity could unlock defences in ways that Spain has struggled with recently, while Luca Bellini’s defensive acumen could solidify Italy’s backline. This potential for new strategies and approaches is sure to excite football enthusiasts and national team managers.

    • Tactical Flexibility and Depth

    These potential call-ups also offer greater tactical flexibility for national team coaches. Max Müller’s versatility allows him to play multiple midfield roles, giving Germany more options in their formations. Similarly, Marcus Thompson’s ability to play both as a central striker and a winger provides England with varied attacking strategies.

    • Building for the Future

    Beyond the immediate impact, integrating U21 stars into senior squads is a strategic move for building a future-ready team. Having already gained international experience at the youth level, these players are better prepared to handle the pressures of senior international football. Their development and performance in senior matches will be crucial as nations look to build competitive teams for future tournaments like the World Cup and the Euros.

    Intriguing Storylines to Follow

    • The Transition of U21 Stars to Senior Glory

    One of the most intriguing storylines will be how these U21 stars adapt to the senior level. Will Alejandro Serrano replicate his U21 success on the grander stage? Can Luca Bellini maintain his defensive solidity against the world’s best attackers? Watching these young talents transition and grow will fascinate fans and analysts alike.

    • The Role of Experienced Mentors

    Another storyline to watch is the role of experienced players in mentoring these young stars. The interaction between youth and experience can significantly impact team cohesion and performance. Veterans like Sergio Busquets for Spain or Harry Kane for England could play pivotal roles in guiding the newcomers.

    • The Evolution of Team Strategies

    Lastly, the evolution of team strategies with the inclusion of these young talents will be a crucial narrative. Coaches might adjust their tactics to leverage the unique strengths of these players, leading to potentially new styles of play and innovative approaches in international football. This potential for innovation and change will intrigue football enthusiasts and national team managers, sparking their curiosity about the game’s future.

    In conclusion, the 2024 Euro U21 Championship has been a treasure trove of talent, with several players poised to leap to senior national teams. This can be clearly seen after watching yesterday games of these talented rising football stars. Their performances not only promise immediate benefits but also signal a bright future for their respective national squads.

    Kingdom Boys Eye Promotion

    21 July 2024

    Eastern Region log leaders, FC Wangu Mazodze yesterday thumped Surrey FC 2-0 at Surrey Arena to extend lead at the top.

    The Kingdom Boys now sit on 39 points at the apex and a win over Mutare City in their rearranged game will see the Masvingo based side further up atop.

    In yesterday’s game, FC Wangu Mazodze started on the front foot and it was not surprising when they took a deserved lead on the 36th minute courtesy of an own goal from Surrey captain who turned a good cross from Nicholas Muchadei into his own net.

    In the second half, the Kingdom Boys shifted a gear up bombarding the Surrey goal area relentlessly in search of the second goal. That goal arrived exactly on the hour mark from the boot of the reliable Nicole Mutatiwa who gave the Surrey keeper no chance with a shot from the edge of the box.

    The goal came following a neat exchange of passes on the left between the impressive Michael ‘Bastos’ Chihowa and the trickery substitute, Edward Mafa.

    FC Wangu Mazodze could have scored more but some chances went begging and in the end they settled for a 2 nil scoreline.

    Credit goes to Coach Emeritus, Rtd Warrant Officer Class II, Nyikadzino J for knitting a side solid at the back and capable of conjuring up wins even in difficult situations. The Kingdom Boys have only conceded 4 goals in 15 outings and have not tasted defeat in the process, claiming 12 wins and 3 draws.

    This is the stuff that makes champions and if the team keeps winning, then the Premier Soccer League dream will certainly become a reality. Zhalala Zhululu fans can now surely start to dream of a return of PSL action at Mucheke Stadium in Masvingo.

    The success story of FC Wangu Mazodze surely can never be complete without mentioning professional management and stability by Club Chairman, Trevor Chatewuka and Club President, Dr Richard Wangu Mazodze and his wife.

    Indeed the future is exciting Zhalala Zhululu fans.

    Urgent Politburo Meeting As Zanu PF Burns

    Political Reporter-Zanu PF has called for an urgent Politburo meeting on Wednesday to discuss the party’s succession battles.

    The party’s acting Secretary General, Advocate Jacob Mudenda, announced that all members are expected to attend the meeting on Wednesday, July 24th, 2024, at 10:00 AM at the Zanu PF headquarters.

    Although Mudenda stated that the primary agenda would be to provide an update on preparations for the 44th SADC Summit, sources within the party indicate that the power struggle between Mutsvangwa and Chiwenga will be a significant topic.

    Over the weekend, Mutsvangwa gave an interview to The Standard, where he publicly opposed Vice President Constantino Chiwenga’s takeover from President Emmerson Mnangagwa, advocating instead for Mnangagwa’s successor to be elected.

    Former Norton MP Temba Mliswa has claimed that Mutsvangwa harbours presidential aspirations, which is corroborated by Mutsvangwa’s consistent criticism of Chiwenga. 

    This internal conflict traces back to the 2017 coup led by Chiwenga, which ousted former President Robert Mugabe and installed Mnangagwa as the leader.

    The original plan of the junta promised that Mnangagwa would serve two terms before handing power to Chiwenga without an election. 

    However, Mnangagwa’s supporters, including Mutsvangwa, seem to be reneging on this agreement.

    Mutsvangwa, a staunch Mnangagwa ally, has openly stated that Chiwenga should face an election to become Mnangagwa’s successor. 

    In a recent interview with The Standard, he asserted, “There is no godly anointment in Zanu PF. Zanu PF is not a church where people can be anointed. The president is not the Pope of the Catholic Church or the Archbishop of Canterbury, who anoints priests.” He emphasized that all political aspirants must abide by democratic principles, saying, “Everyone who goes into politics and has an ambition to be a leader must play by the rules, especially of a revolutionary democratic party. That’s why the president was very clear, saying, ‘I will not usurp the decision-making powers of the people of Zimbabwe or the membership of Zanu PF – I will retire.’”

    Mutsvangwa further compared the ruling party’s processes to religious organizations, arguing that Zanu PF operates democratically, unlike churches where leaders can unilaterally appoint successors.

    “Zanu PF is not Makandiwa’s church where he can have himself, his wife, his kids, and his followers say this is my church. President Mnangagwa is an elected leader of a revolutionary democratic party,” he concluded.

    This power struggle within Zanu PF raises questions about the future leadership of Zimbabwe and the party’s commitment to democratic processes amidst internal rivalries.

    Government In Another Controversial-Chivhayo-Like Solar Project

    Business Reporter- The government has launched another presidential scheme focused on solar energy, drawing immediate comparisons to Wicknell Chivhayo’s infamous multi-million dollar Gwanda solar project, which never saw the light of day.

    State media reports that the new initiative has begun with installations at 400 houses in Harare, where solar panels are being laid on rooftops to generate power to be sold to Zesa and fed into the national grid.

    The project, it says, involves renting and installing solar panels on rooftops in Harare, starting with a pilot project in Glen View.

    Homeowners, the state media says, will receive a token of appreciation for their participation.

    The pilot project is being rolled out by the Zimbabwe Solar Energy Company (ZISEC), a subsidiary of Prevail Group International (PGI), in Ward 30, Glen View suburb. Standard contractual arrangements have been agreed upon, allowing ZISEC to recoup its investment over the life of the scheme and make a fair profit if they are efficient.

    PGI chairman Paul Tungwarara announced over the weekend that the program is underway. “The Presidential Solar Scheme has kicked off. This project is being executed under ZISEC in conjunction with Prevail Group. We are generating solar power from rooftops and feeding the electricity into the grid to eradicate load-shedding in the areas where we are installing the solar system,” he said.

    Tungwarara added that initially, they are targeting 400 houses and training locals to install the solar systems as a way of creating employment.

    Landlords will also be given a token of appreciation for contributing electricity to the national grid.

    As this new scheme unfolds, many are reminded of Chivhayo’s failed Gwanda project, which promised significant contributions to Zimbabwe’s energy sector but ended up mired in controversy and unmet targets.

    The public remains skeptical, wary of another high-profile solar initiative that might not live up to its grand promises.

    Khupe Hit By New Cancer

    By Political Reporter- The former MDC-T deputy President Thokhozani Khupe has been hit by another form of cancer.

    The former deputy Prime minister (59) was first diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2011 and underwent treatment and surgery, resulting in the surgical removal of one of her breasts.

    Khupe last week revealed in parliament that she is now battling another form of breast cancer, Lobular cancer, after being initially misdiagnosed and treated for ovarian cancer.

    Invasive lobular carcinoma is a type of breast cancer that begins as the growth of cells in the milk-producing glands of the breast. Khupe said:

    You all saw me when I came for the swearing-in-ceremony, I was a moving grave, but look at the transformation – this is God’s work.

    I would like to thank Him so very much for giving me a second chance at life, and for being my Saviour, my doctor and my protector.

    Sikhala Speech After Court Acquittal | FULL TEXT

    I am angry with the regime to the last coma:

    By Hon Job Sikhala

    For 595 days, I was thrown in solitary confinement shackled in chains like a terrorist and suffered the most horrible abuse any person can be put under by the criminal regime in Harare for allegedly inciting public violence to revenge the gruesome murder of Moreblessing Ali.

    I told all who cared to listen to me that I did not commit any crime in my professional calling to represent the Moreblessing Ali family. I told all of you that it was the evilness that resided in the hearts of those who ran our country , and it was political persecution to remove me from the 2023 general elections.

    Today, the High Court sat in Harare to hear my two appeals, one fake conviction of publishing falsehoods and another one of inciting public violence to revenge the death of Moreblessing Ali.

    The High Court acquitted me in the two cases. There was concurrence by the state that the first case was a wrong conviction based on the law that does not exist at all. In the second case of Moreblessing Ali, the state agreed that there was no evidence at all in the record, showing that I incited anyone.

    To those who have been used to persecuting me, my family, and everyone associated with me, remember there is God in heaven. Your day of judgement shall also come. The nonsense peddled that it then defeats our view that the judiciary is captured when it comes to political prisoners is scandalous as its peddlers. Where, there is no evidence that even a kraalhead would convict leaves judiciary officers of dignity with no option but to uphold their dignity by throwing away fake convictions.

    ZANU Celebrates Sikhala Acquittal After Failing to Convince Him He’s Mandela As Hopewell Wanted

    Months after failing to convince him that he is Nelson Mandela who’s been neglected by Nelson Chamisa as money laundering suspect, Hopewell Chin’ono claimed, ZANU PF has thrown a party as Jon Sikhala is acquitted.

    By Investigative Reporter | The below audio recording is of the controversial activist Hopewell Chin’ono screaming out while walking away from legend singer Thomas Mapfumo’s photoshoot in Leicester, UK.

    Chin’ono in the audio accuses the country’s most popular politician, Nelson Chamisa of neglecting the jailed legislator, Job Sikhala, saying he was wasting time tweeting while Job Sikhala was suffering in prison. He says Chamisa seemed more concerned over his register-to-vote rallies that over Sikhala’s plight.

    Ironically Chin’ono has also accused Chamisa of not holding any register-to-vote rallies in the run up to the 2023 elections.

    He accuses Chamisa of sending him pictures of his (Chamisa’s) rally during Sikhala’s trying moments.

    “He sent me [rally pictures), I don’t tweet things like that,” says Chin’ono.

    Sikhala’s best friend, Tafadzwa Musekiwa then answers back asking if the rally “is the Kariba one,” to which Chin’ono blows back saying,

    “I was being tweeted to and would just ignore; everything I was getting tweeted and would just ignore. There is someone who is in prison [and he’s doing this],” he says in the clip captured by ZimEye in July 2022, comments which Zimbabweans have re opened as they connect them to Chin’ono’s allegation that Nelson Chamisa’s party is going to split because according to him (Chin’ono) the CCC leader is incompetent.

    ….

    Since 2022 Chinono has continued berating Chamisa saying he focuses too much on citing Bible verses. while Sikhala is suffering.

    Chamisa has chosen to ignore the commentator.

    Meanwhile, Hopewell Chin’ono’s repeating behaviour is explained by an NHS mental health expert who among many others alleges on video she witnessed him engaging in credit card fraud and that he was once arrested over money laundering in UK, before changing his surname from Mukusha after leaving UK for Zimbabwe.

    She also says she has to repeat these allegations in order to alert the nation over how he has hurt many people since his Marlborough High School days.

    “What he did to me without remorse, if he does it to Zimbabwe without remorse, will there be any chance of a reversal?,” says Grace Mupfurutsa, around the time of Chin’ono’s first arrest by the Zimbabwe military government he’s been working for, on 18 Aug 2020.

    In yesterday’s game, FC Wangu Mazodze started on the front foot and it was not surprising when they took a deserved lead on the 36th minute courtesy of an own goal from Surrey captain who turned a good cross from Nicholas Muchadei into his own net.

    In the second half, the Kingdom Boys shifted a gear up bombarding the Surrey goal area relentlessly in search of the second goal. That goal arrived exactly on the hour mark from the boot of the reliable Nicole Mutatiwa who gave the Surrey keeper no chance with a shot from the edge of the box.

    The goal came following a neat exchange of passes on the left between the impressive Michael ‘Bastos’ Chihowa and the trickery substitute, Edward Mafa.

    FC Wangu Mazodze could have scored more but some chances went begging and in the end they settled for a 2 nil scoreline.

    Credit goes to Coach Emeritus, Rtd Warrant Officer Class II, Nyikadzino J for knitting a side solid at the back and capable of conjuring up wins even in difficult situations. The Kingdom Boys have only conceded 4 goals in 15 outings and have not tasted defeat in the process, claiming 12 wins and 3 draws.

    This is the stuff that makes champions and if the team keeps winning, then the Premier Soccer League dream will certainly become a reality. Zhalala Zhululu fans can now surely start to dream of a return of PSL action at Mucheke Stadium in Masvingo.

    The success story of FC Wangu Mazodze surely can never be complete without mentioning professional management and stability by Club Chairman, Trevor Chatewuka and Club President, Dr Richard Wangu Mazodze and his wife.

    Indeed the future is exciting Zhalala Zhululu fans.

    FULL TEXT: Kasukuwere Mourns Soldier Who Died Yesterday

    Eulogy – Brigadier General Dr. Michael Chaminuka

    I do not often write about events that happened in the past. However, the passing of General Michael Chaminuka has moved me to write and salute one of the finest soldiers and liberators this country has ever produced.

    Humble, grounded and smart, I first met then Captain Michael Chaminuka at Special Task Force(STF) Chimoio in Mozambique in 1990. At that time, Zimbabwe had deployed security forces in Mozambique to safeguard the pipeline and assist the FRELIMO government to restore peace, law and order in Mozambique. The RENAMO insurrection was at its peak and Zimbabwe was heavily involved in the fight on the side of FRELIMO and the Government of Mozambique.

    Captain Chaminuka, was the Military Intelligence Officer (MIO) of the 5th Brigade. The Commander was Colonel Elisha Musonzini. I, together with my senior colleague Katsiru were deployed in Chimoio and worked together with the ZNA in providing intelligence. As the youngest in the intelligence circle, I struck a strong relationship with Captain Chaminuka and Dr Kamusoko who was the Brigade Medical Officer. We would spend numerous days traveling together and gathering intelligence, analyzing and processing information gleaned from various sources. Ours was to ensure we provided timeous intelligence to the command element, so they could make prompt decisions.

    Michael struck me as a dedicated officer and disciplined war veteran. He had gone through the officer cadet training and was highly trained in intelligence. During our tour of duty in Mozambique, a cable came from National Joint Operations Command headquarters in Harare tasking us to go and interview RENAMO bandits who had been captured and detained at Nhamatanda, Sofala province. A number of our troops had been ambushed and killed in the area between Nhamatanda and Lamego. The battalion leadership led by then Lt. Col Nicholas Dube, a decorated Commando Trooper was baffled and frustrated. A crack team was then assembled to come and assist the military leadership.

    Gen Chaminuka and I drove down to Lamego and we were received by Lt Col Nicholas Dube and his senior command element, who gave us a detailed briefing on what was obtaining in his area of tactical responsibility. He was deeply concerned about the volatile situation.

    The two of us immediately got to work and began our task early in the morning the following day. We were accompanied by the battalion intelligence team to Nhamatanda prison to interview the captured bandits. We drove in a CIO issued B2200 to the main camp at Nhamatanda. After disembarking and identifying ourselves, the security details then accompanied us into the holding cells. The prisoners were standing in an open pit prison in water which was slightly above the hip. These were the conditions under which the captured bandits lived in. To get into the prison, we had to walk down a spiral staircase into the water logged cells.

    As we started enquiring and interviewing the captured bandits, I overheard in Portuguese, remarks that immediately concerned me. I had acquired a working knowledge of Portuguese and could understand the language. The officers from our sister institutions who had accompanied us into the cell murmured something to the effect that the Zimbabweans were now their problem and they should deal with us. The insinuation, was that we should be attacked whilst inside the prison. I immediately alerted Michael and my colleagues to the danger we faced and told them to draw their guns and get out of the place. Armed with our pistols, we made our way out of the building, got into our vehicle, and drove to the battalion camp at Lamego.

    We were shaken but not deterred, for we knew it was a war and anything was possible. We briefed the Commanding Officer Lt Col Dube, on what had transpired. In our report to the National Joint Operations Command, we highlighted our observations, that the war had taken a dramatic turn and that the RENAMO bandits had been able to get the people on their side, and had infiltrated most of the institutions, in that area. The attacks on our troops and vital infrastructure was being carried out by bandits who would were now operating from within the various settlements along the corridor.

    We observed that it was no longer attacks coming from bases located far away but that the very communities were hosting the bandits. We strongly recommended to the leadership that, the war effort required a review. We opined that the war was now a quagmire and would not be winnable. Meanwhile our colleagues in Beira, Captain Josto (Defence Attache), Jeff Mbalekwa, Kufa Chinoza and Tadzingaira Tachiyezi were also of the same opinion.

    Fast forward, the peace process got underway and elections were held under the supervision of the United Nations, led by Aldo Ajello. The complete sweep by RENAMO of the Sofala Province, and in particular, the Nhamatanda area proved our point that the bandit movement was enjoying unequal support from the community.

    I chose to dwell on this one incident to confirm the commitment and determination Michael had for his country. He was a professional soldier and dedicated patriot. Fair and balanced, he was a remarkable officer and gentleman. We continued to work together after he was appointed to higher offices. In all our interactions, it was evident, Michael was a caring big brother.

    Our two daughters Natasha Kasukuwere and Rachelle Chaminuka were to study law together at the University of Zimbabwe and become great friends. We last met, when both girls were registered as legal practitioners at the High Court of Zimbabwe in 2018.

    Michael was not only a comrade in arms but also a brother, and patriotic warrior for the Motherland. Mukoma, Bvumavaranda, famba zvakanaka, I will not be able to attend your burial, but I will plant my flowers on your burial ground in good time.

    Farewell Great Commander.

    By A Correspondent

    Zimbabwean Vice President Constantino Chiwenga has advocated for the removal of “sanctions” imposed on senior Zanu PF officials.

    Zivhu Fights In Chiwenga Corner

    By A Correspondent

    Killer Zivhu, a notable figure within Zimbabwe’s ruling party Zanu PF, has stepped forward to address the ongoing discourse surrounding succession within the party, emphasizing the importance of respecting Vice President Constantino Chiwenga.

    Speaking on Sunday, Zivhu conveyed a straightforward message:

    “Stop fooling yourselves with theories! Seniority rules.

    The Vice President is as good as the President. There has been no party election since 1980; candidates are endorsed by provinces.

    Anyone thinking of upstaging the Vice President is simply wasting their time. The lineup is clear, and it will guide both the party and the government.”

    Zivhu’s remarks come amidst speculation and debate within Zanu PF regarding future leadership transitions. His stance not only supports Vice President Chiwenga but also underscores the party’s historical practices of endorsement rather than competitive elections for top positions.

    As the political landscape in Zimbabwe continues to evolve, Zivhu’s endorsement of Chiwenga serves as a notable statement within the party, potentially influencing internal dynamics and discussions moving forward.

    Scramble For Pomona City Stands, As WestProp Concludes Roadworks

    By Business Reporter- The last batch of stands at Pomona City is selling fast ahead of the introduction of the novel leasehold scheme to be launched next year.

    WestProp chief sales and marketing officer Ms Marilyn Mosha, who interfaces with buyers at the estate, is happy with the sales and progress on the construction of asphalt roads at Pomona City that will soon pave the way for close to 600 stand owners to start erecting their homes in the live, work, shop and play themed estate.
    “The site is taking shape. The road works are progressing well. We now have less than 120 stands remaining,” she said.

    Pomona City

    WestProp Holdings is currently running a winter warmer promotion to promote sales and allow people to own a home in one of Harare’s prime spots.

    The promotion was launched at the beginning of July and will end at the end of August.

    Ms Mosha attributed the surge in sales to the roadworks currently underway and the winter warmer offer.

    She said the customer-centric Real Estate Company responded to customer demands for flexible payment terms, that include a five-year payment period.

    “The five year mortgage payment plan has eased payments and attracted more customers. We are customer centric. We respond to customer demands. The winter promotion was as well a response to customers,” she said.
    Ms Mosha revealed that after the current phase is sold out – the next property sales will be “finished homes” on a leasehold scheme.
    “The land on which the properties sit on would be on long term leasehold. It is a scheme where one has title to the improvement on the land but leases the land,” she said.

    WestProp Holdings CEO Mr Ken Sharpe weighed in, saying the discount offer “was to promote homeownership and acknowledge the massive support by customers”.

    He described the scheme as “disruptive, futuristic, innovative and unique.”

    Mr Sharpe said in line with the company’s quest for quality – a decision was made to abandon the chip and spray road construction which would have cost US$500 000 and instead opted for the asphalt at a cost of US$2 million.
    “We looked at the longevity and ambience of the roads. This is in line with our strategy to under-promise and over deliver bringing our customers world class high quality developments that are affordable. We cut no corners and will not compromise on quality because we are a developer of the future with 2050 and beyond as our goal,” he said.

    The leasehold model makes the acquisition of property much cheaper as it removes the bulk cost of the land. The property owner only acquires the building and leases the land from the developer.
    “One of the unique features of the Pomona City phase 2 and 3 is the introduction of the leasehold model a completely new feature in Zimbabwe but very common in developed economies,” he said.

    Many people have been failing to build their properties after spending much of their investment in purchasing the land.

    The new scheme is a reversal of the norm, which now allows prospective homeowners to spend on the structure and lease the land on which their house is built at very concessionary rates.

    Dubbed a city within a city because of its attributes that bring all urban aspects of life, work, shop, and play into one community, Pomona City is set to be a major prototype development that will be copied and replicated by other developers.

    World-renowned architects were engaged in working on the master plan and building structures, making the development a fusion of cultures and very cosmopolitan.

    Mnangagwa Aide Invades Students’ Conference in Zambia

    By A Correspondent

    Taurai Kandishaya, the Zanu PF Youth League Boss, invaded a youth conference in Zambia over the weekend.

    In a statement, Kandishaya said:

    Today, I had the honor of speaking at the National Council of Students Union (NACOSU) Conference held at the National Institute of Public Administration (NIPA).

    We addressed critical issues such as the impact of climate change on energy, food, and security in the SADC region.

    The atmosphere was vibrant as youth passionately discussed the importance of unity between Zimbabwe and Zambia.

    They stressed that our strength lies in standing together, highlighting the mutual benefits of this partnership beyond mere solidarity.

    Cooperation between Zimbabwe and Zambia enhances regional stability and fosters collective progress.

    Zimbabwe stands to gain significantly from shared innovations and support in addressing climate change.

    Representatives from 12 universities contributed diverse perspectives, emphasizing solidarity.

    The consensus was clear: Zimbabwe’s upcoming chairmanship of SADC represents hope, promising substantial benefits for both Zimbabwe and Zambia, as well as the entire SADC community.

    I also witnessed the deep admiration Zambians have for Zimbabwe and their concern over external attempts to sow division through misinformation.

    This underscores our need to remain united and well-informed, acknowledging the substantial mutual benefits of our partnership.

    Khupe In Fesh Cancer Battle

    By Political Reporter- Former Deputy Prime Minister Thokhozani Khule is battling another form of cancer.

    The former MDC-T deputy President (59) was first diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2011 and underwent treatment and surgery, resulting in the surgical removal of one of her breasts.

    Khupe last week revealed in parliament that she is now battling another form of breast cancer, Lobular cancer, after being initially misdiagnosed and treated for ovarian cancer.

    Invasive lobular carcinoma is a type of breast cancer that begins as the growth of cells in the milk-producing glands of the breast. Khupe said:

    You all saw me when I came for the swearing-in-ceremony, I was a moving grave, but look at the transformation – this is God’s work.

    I would like to thank Him so very much for giving me a second chance at life, and for being my Saviour, my doctor and my protector.

    Rude Awakening for Mnangagwa’s 2030 Campaigner

    By A Correspondent| Zanu-PF legislator Tatenda Mavetera of Chikomba West got a rude awakening after her victory rally was abruptly cancelled due to poor attendance as party supporters allegedly disapproved her perceived support for President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s rumored bid to extend his presidency beyond 2028.

    The event, planned at Garwe Stadium in Chivhu, failed to draw a significant crowd, prompting Mavetera to postpone it indefinitely to avoid embarrassment.

    Internal sources within Zanu-PF suggested that factionalism over Mnangagwa’s potential third term contributed to the sabotage of Mavetera’s rally.

    Party officials, feeling sidelined, reportedly neglected to mobilize support, leading to the low turnout.

    Even at other rallies within her constituency during the same period, Mavetera struggled to attract attendees, sometimes resorting to addressing school pupils instead of party members.

    In response to the poor attendance, Mavetera downplayed the issue.

    Pay Back For Zanu PF Supporters As They Are Evicted To Pave Way For Chefs

    Over 700 tenants, including Zanu PF supporters and war veterans, have been evicted from Clipsham Farm, where they resided for the past 24 years. The eviction clears the way for a new smart city project intended for senior government officials, including numerous individuals from Minister Ezra Chadzamira’s office.

    The tenants were verbally notified on June 21, 2024, to vacate within seven days. They maintain their resettlement was legitimate and now face displacement with nowhere to go.

    Beneficiaries of the new development scheme include permanent secretaries, directors in various ministries, and staff from the office of the Minister of State for Masvingo, Ezra Chadzamira. The project is reportedly under private developers, allegedly the children of a high-ranking Zanu PF politician.

    Masvingo Mayor Aleck Tabe asserts that the land belongs to the council and is designated for a provincial hospital, as highlighted in Masvingo’s draft masterplan. This plan suggests the location is ideal for the province’s largest hospital.

    A letter dated August 4, 2016, from the then Minister of Lands and Rural Resettlement, Douglas Mombeshora, to the then Minister of Local Government Public Works and National Housing, Saviour Kasukuwere, confirms the handover of Clipsham Farm for urban development.

    Ironically, the evicted tenants include some of the most vocal Zanu PF supporters from Chadzamira’s Masvingo West Constituency. Their chairman, Rogers Gava, complained to Zanu PF provincial chairman Robson Mavhenyengwa, who indicated that the land had been reclassified as urban.

    The land transfer remains shrouded in secrecy, with no public information available. While sources claim the project is privately owned by a politician’s children, Mayor Tabe insists it belongs to the council and is intended for a hospital.

    Permanent Secretary in the Minister of State’s Office, Dr. Addmore Pazvakavambwa, confirmed the situation and mentioned that Chadzamira and he had met with the tenants’ committee. They assured a meeting would be arranged with the Minister of Local Government and Urban Development, Daniel Garwe, and the Minister of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development, Anxious Masuka, but this has not yet occurred. He denied knowledge of his office workers benefiting from the scheme.

    Minister Chadzamira referred questions to his permanent secretary, Pazvakavambwa, while Minister Garwe, new to his post, requested questions be resent via email for him to review before commenting.

    Zanu PF director of information, Farai Marapira, suggested that villagers should approach the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) if they suspect corruption. He emphasized that Zanu PF does not condone corruption and urged those with evidence to lodge complaints with relevant authorities.

    The Mirror has obtained the names of workers from Chadzamira and Pazvakavambwa’s offices who were allocated plots, including Chadzamira’s personal assistant and various deputy directors, drivers, and office orderlies.

    The tenants’ letter to Mavhenyengwa expressed their grievances and requested intervention, highlighting disturbances caused by uncommunicated re-pegging of their plots by individuals claiming to be from the Surveyor General’s Office.

    Mavhenyengwa acknowledged receiving numerous appeals from supporters but stated that the matter had escalated beyond the party due to the area’s designation for urban expansion.

    Former Mines and Mining Development Permanent Secretary, Onesimo Mazai Moyo, a beneficiary of the land, claimed he applied like any other person and deferred comments to the Minister of Local Government.

    Susan Mutami Says Mudha Wants To Be President

    By A Correspondent| Controversial Australian based socialite Susan Mutami has made sensational claims that former State Security minister and now Midlands supremo Owen Mudha Ncube has ambitions to succeed President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

    Posting on Twitter, Mutami said she heard about Mudha’s ambitions.

    “I hear Owen Mudha wants to be the President of ??in 2028 ?. I’m so proud of him for even attempting to give it a try because it’s not easy fighting for the top job against a great intellect of par excellence, statesman, former commissar who has charisma @Hon_Kasukuwere. I also see most of u mocking General Chiwenga saying he’s lost power. That man is very much in charge of that country, he’s the hand to the power and does not wish to take on both roles and be the face of the power. If Chiwenga is fired today you will all see what I mean when I say China is our all weather friend. Even Belarus will go into hiding,” said Mutami.

    Whether Mutami was just making wild claims, Zanu PF is currently going through succession issues following Mnangagwa’s pronouncement that he will not extend his term beyond 2028.

    Over the weekend, Zanu PF Spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa who is believed to also have ambitions to take on the country’s number 1 job said Mnangagwa’s deputy Constantino Chiwenga will not automatically succeed his boss in what has further added confusion in the ruling party.

    Regarding the alleged 2017 coup power deal between Chiwenga and Mnangagwa, Mutsvangwa categorically denied its existence and warned against speculating on such matters. He asserted Mnangagwa’s commitment to constitutionalism and democracy, reaffirming that any leadership aspirations within Zanu-PF must be earned through popular support and not assumed through political maneuvers.

    Another Wicknell Type Solar Govt Tender

    New Tender Scheme Unveiled Amidst Wicknell Chivayo Scandal.

    By A Correspondent | In a move that has raised eyebrows across the nation, another Presidential scheme has been introduced by the government, this time focused on providing solar energy. The announcement comes at a precarious moment as the country is still reeling from the Wicknell Chivayo multiple tenders scandal, notably the infamous Gwanda solar project that squandered USD 5 million of ZESA funds without tangible results.

    The state-owned Herald reports that the new scheme has already commenced, with installations at 400 houses underway in Harare. Solar panels are being mounted on rooftops with the intention of generating power to be sold to ZESA, subsequently feeding into the national grid.

    The initiative, led by the Zimbabwe Solar Energy Company (ZISEC) – a subsidiary of Prevail Group International (PGI), is being piloted in Ward 30, Glen View suburb. Homeowners participating in the project will receive a token of appreciation for hosting the solar panels.

    Dr. Paul Tungwarara, PGI chairman, confirmed the rollout of the programme. “The Presidential Solar Scheme has kicked off. This project is going to be done under ZISEC which is going to be involved together with Prevail Group. We are generating solar from the rooftops and putting the electricity into the grid to eradicate load-shedding in the specific areas where we are installing the solar system,” he stated.

    The pilot phase targets 400 houses, with an emphasis on training locals to install the solar systems, thus fostering employment creation. Dr. Tungwarara highlighted that landlords will be compensated for contributing electricity to the national grid.

    However, the timing and execution of this scheme have drawn scrutiny, given the backdrop of Chivayo’s Gwanda solar scam. The Chivayo scandal involved the disbursement of USD 5 million by ZESA for a solar project that never materialized, leaving the nation questioning the efficacy and transparency of similar government schemes.

    Critics argue that the new solar initiative could potentially follow the same path if not meticulously monitored and managed. The contractual arrangements that allow ZISEC to recoup its investment and make a profit raise concerns about the prioritization of corporate interests over public benefit.

    As the government embarks on this new venture, the shadow of the Chivayo scandal looms large, demanding a higher standard of accountability and transparency. The success of this Presidential Solar Scheme hinges not only on its technical and economic feasibility but also on the government’s ability to restore public trust in its tender processes.

    The nation watches closely, hoping that this initiative does not become another chapter in the saga of failed government projects but instead a beacon of sustainable energy and economic progress.

    SADC must kick Out Zimbabwe for Killing And Oppressing Matabeles

    It is quite disturbing that members of the SADC region are quick to condemn Israel for the war against Palestine while they wine and dine with the black apartheid government of Zimbabwe, which has committed genocide against the Matabele people. Over 40,000 innocent Matabele civilians, including women and children, were slaughtered.

    What is more disgusting is that Zimbabwe, the perpetrator of the Matabele genocide and tribal oppression of more than 5 million Matabele people, is vocal in supporting a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine while denying the Matabele the same right to self-determination.

    In 2015, Matabeleland Liberation Organisation (MLO) President, Cde Paul Siwela, on behalf of MLO, delivered a Notice of Demand for the Restoration of Matabeleland State, which aims to join the family of nations as The Republic of Matabeleland (RoM).

    Copies of the Notice of Demand were distributed to all SADC countries and other African states, as we have nothing to hide and our cause is just.

    The then Zimbabwean President, the late Robert Mugabe, pretended to be unaware of the notice until he was overthrown in a military coup by Emmerson Mnangagwa and died in exile in 2017.

    Mr. Mnangagwa continues to ignore the cause of Matabeleland restoration, addressing it only to issue death threats to Matabele people who are fearlessly and unapologetically demanding the restoration of Matabeleland state.

    Currently, the Zimbabwean government is conducting an illegal process named “Gukurahundi Hearings,” in which the perpetrator acts as judge and jury in their own case of genocide. The aim is to minimize the scale of the genocide, eliminate evidence, cleanse themselves of Matabele blood, and present a false narrative of the situation.

    The MLO and the people of Matabeleland are saddened and pained by the perpetrator’s lack of remorse and heartlessness. We consider this a disrespect to both the deceased and living Matabele genocide victims and an act of provocation that must not go unpunished.

    Our brothers and sisters in the SADC region, Africa, and the world are turning a blind eye to the diabolical events and injustices occurring in Zimbabwe against the Matabele people.

    It seems some tribes and governments in the SADC region and Africa have the license to murder and oppress others, while some are doomed to be continuously slaughtered and oppressed.

    “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have taken the side of the oppressor,” Archbishop Desmond Tutu once said. It is clear that our African brothers from the SADC region and beyond are taking the side of the perpetrator in Zimbabwe.

    We call upon all peace-loving, good people and organizations worldwide to support a two-state solution in Zimbabwe that will permanently resolve the Matabele genocide, tribal oppression, Matabele-Shona tribal animosity, and political abuse of the people of Matabeleland in Zimbabwe.

    Our demands to the government of Zimbabwe are as follows:

    i) Restoration of Matabeleland state as of 3 November 1893
    ii) Payment of US$100 billion in reparations for the Matabele genocide
    iii) Unconditional withdrawal of trumped-up treason charges and warrant of arrest against MLO President Cde Paul Siwela

    Zimbabwean Runs Out Of Luck Over South African Murder Case

    Harare, Zimbabwe — A Zimbabwean national accused of killing a love rival in South Africa is now facing extradition to stand trial in that country. Tinashe Hove fatally stabbed Theophilus Musekiwa during a fight over a girlfriend, Lequina Chikato, in Durban, South Africa. After fleeing to Zimbabwe, Hove was arrested following a week on the run.

    The Prosecutor-General of Zimbabwe has submitted a motion at the Harare Magistrates Court, following approval by the Zimbabwean Minister of Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage, requesting Hove’s extradition to South Africa under the Extradition Act.

    Principal public prosecutor Ms. Farai Zachariah stated that Hove’s extradition complies with the Extradition Act and does not conflict with Zimbabwe’s international and regional treaty obligations. She emphasized that there is overwhelming evidence linking Hove to the crime, including testimony from an eyewitness, David Chikore, who saw Hove arguing with Musekiwa before the fatal stabbing.

    In supporting the extradition request, the court referenced the landmark case of State v. Nkomo (1993), where the Supreme Court of Zimbabwe upheld the principles of extradition, emphasizing the importance of international cooperation in criminal matters. The court ruled that extradition should be granted when there is a prima facie case and the requesting country provides sufficient evidence of the alleged crime.

    Hove’s luck has run out as he now faces extradition to South Africa to stand trial for his alleged crime. The legal proceedings underscore the seriousness with which both Zimbabwe and South Africa address cross-border criminal activities and their commitment to upholding justice.

    Another “Stomach” Politician Joins ED Party

    By A Correspondent

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

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

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

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

    The opposition is effectively non-existent in Zimbabwe.”

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

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

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

    Mnangagwa Ignores Police Officers’ Plight

    By A Correspondent

    In a sudden and controversial move, President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration has sparked outrage among junior police officers by cutting their transport allowances without prior notice.

    This decision has not only left the officers disillusioned but has also strained morale within the law enforcement ranks.

    According to a police source who spoke on condition of anonymity, the junior officers were taken aback when they discovered the abrupt axing of their allowances.

    Commenting on the fiasco, Citizens spokesperson Gift Ostallos Siziba said :

    “Outrageous! Junior police officers are reportedly unhappy after the regime abruptly axed their transport allowances without warning. “

    The move, seen as a cost-cutting measure by the government, has had a significant impact on the daily lives of these officers, many of whom rely on these allowances to commute to work.

    To exacerbate the situation, authorities allegedly suggested that officers purchase bicycles as an alternative means of transportation, a proposal that has been met with further frustration and indignation among the affected personnel.

    “To add insult to injury, authorities allegedly told them to purchase bicycles when they voiced their concerns,” a political observer said.

    This directive has been perceived as impractical and insensitive, considering the economic challenges faced by many junior officers.

    The discontent among the police ranks underscores broader issues of economic hardship and deteriorating living conditions in Zimbabwe.

    Many junior officers already struggle to make ends meet on their current salaries, which are often insufficient to cover basic necessities.

    The removal of transport allowances exacerbates these challenges, making it increasingly difficult for officers to fulfill their duties effectively.

    Mutsvangwa Enters Presidential Race, Blocks Chiwenga

    By Political Reporter- Zanu-PF spokesperson Christopher Mutsvangwa is reportedly blocking Vice President Constantino Chiwenga from taking over power from President Emmerson Mnangagwa, advocating instead for Mnangagwa’s successor to be elected.

    Former Norton MP Temba Mliswa is on record saying that Mutsvangwa harbours presidential aspirations, and this is confirmed by  Mutsvangwa’s consistent criticism of Chiwenga.

    This internal conflict traces back to the 2017 coup led by Chiwenga, which ousted former President Robert Mugabe and installed Mnangagwa as the leader.

    The junta’s original plan promised Mnangagwa would serve two terms before handing power to Chiwenga without an election. 

    However, Mnangagwa’s supporters, including Mutsvangwa, appear to be reneging on this agreement.

    Mutsvangwa, a staunch Mnangagwa ally, has openly stated that Chiwenga should face an election to become Mnangagwa’s successor. 

    In a recent interview with The Standard, he asserted, “There is no godly anointment in ZANU-PF. ZANU-PF is not a church where people can be anointed. The president is not the Pope of the Catholic Church or the Archbishop of Canterbury, who anoints priests.”

    He emphasized that all political aspirants must abide by democratic principles, saying, “Everyone who goes into politics, and has an ambition to be a leader, must play by the rules, especially of a revolutionary democratic party. That’s why the president was very clear, saying, ‘I will not usurp the decision-making powers of the people of Zimbabwe or the membership of ZANU-PF – I will retire.’”

    Mutsvangwa further compared the ruling party’s processes to religious organizations, arguing that ZANU-PF operates democratically, unlike churches where leaders can unilaterally appoint successors. “ZANU-PF is not Makandiwa’s church where he can have himself, his wife, his kids, and his followers say this is my church. President Mnangagwa is an elected leader of a revolutionary democratic party,” he concluded.

    This power struggle within Zanu-PF raises questions about the future leadership of Zimbabwe and the party’scommitment to democratic processes amidst internal rivalries.

    Another Horror Accident

    Letter to the Editor:

    The Ginimbi Death Tree Has Claimed Another Life

    Dear Editor,

    It is with a heavy heart that I share a chilling tale that echoes a tragedy we all remember too well. The same fateful tree that claimed the life of the beloved and wealthy socialite, Genius Kadungure, known to many as Ginimbi, has struck once again. This time, it has taken the life of another affluent individual, a woman whose vibrant life was cut tragically short under eerily similar circumstances.

    On that same cursed road, at the same haunting hour, and against the same unforgiving tree, another soul was lost. She was returning from a night out at a club, just as Ginimbi had been, when her journey back home was brutally interrupted. The car, the crash, the devastation—everything mirrored the past, as if fate itself had orchestrated this cruel reenactment.

    This young woman, whose identity and vibrancy echoed in the circles of the elite, met her untimely demise on the very spot where Ginimbi had fallen. The parallels are almost too surreal to believe, yet they starkly remind us of the fragile line between life and death, and the haunting grip of destiny.

    In the aftermath of this latest tragedy, our community is left grappling with grief and a sense of foreboding. How many more lives will this tree claim before measures are taken to prevent further loss? It stands as a silent witness to these horrific events, a sentinel of sorrow on our roads.

    Let this letter serve as a somber call to action. We must address the safety of our roads and take steps to ensure that such a devastating event does not repeat itself. Lives are precious, and we cannot afford to lose more in such a harrowing manner.

    Sincerely,

    A Concerned Subscriber

    USD3Million Vanishes As Welshman’s Implicated in Major Financial Scandal

    By A Correspondent | ZimEye | Harare, Zimbabwe – Prominent lawyer, academic, and CCC factionist, Professor Welshman Ncube, has been thrust into the spotlight amid allegations of serious financial misconduct.

    Welshman Ncube

    The accusations involve several illegal actions connected to the Mphoko family’s business transactions, putting Ncube at the center of a significant legal controversy.

    The RBZ letter

    Illegal Actions Involving the Mphokos’ Lawyer, Prof. Welshman Ncube

    Issuing or Transferring Shares Without Exchange Control Authority

    Professor Welshman Ncube, taking advantage of his solicitor powers and the powers of attorney granted him by former Vice President Mr. Phelekezela Mphoko and his son Mr. Siqokoqela Mphoko, is accused of facilitating the issuance of shares to a foreign resident or nominee without obtaining the necessary Exchange Control authority. This action violates Section 12 of Statutory Instrument 109 of 1996, which mandates prior approval for such transactions.

    Absence of Exchange Control Authority for Share Disposal

    Further allegations indicate that Prof. Ncube did not secure the required Exchange Control authority when Mr. Phelekezela Mphoko and Mr. Siqokoqela Mphoko sold their 51% shareholding in Nanavac Investments to Choppies Investments, a company based in Botswana. This oversight constitutes a breach of Zimbabwe’s stringent financial regulations.

    Acquisition of Shares by Foreign Entity Using Local Currency Without Approval

    Prof. Ncube is also implicated in overseeing the purchase of shares by Choppies Investments using local currency funds without obtaining prior approval from Exchange Control. This unauthorized use of local funds for share acquisition raises serious concerns about the legality and transparency of these transactions.

    Payment for Shares from Non-approved Channels

    The accusations extend to the payment for shares using funds that were not transmitted through normal banking channels, again without the necessary Exchange Control approval. This method of payment under Prof. Ncube’s guidance adds to the list of alleged financial infractions.

    Issuance or Transfer of Shares Without Reserve Bank Permission

    The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe has highlighted that Prof. Ncube facilitated the issuance or transfer of shares without securing the required permission from the bank. This breach of regulatory frameworks is seen as a significant violation of Zimbabwe’s financial laws.

    Purchase of Foreign Currency on the Parallel Market

    One of the most severe allegations against Prof. Ncube involves the purchase of foreign currency on the parallel market, a practice prohibited under Section 5 (1) (a) (ii) of the Exchange Control Act Chapter 22:05. This illegal activity undermines the formal financial system and contributes to economic instability.

    Official Statement from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe

    In response to these serious allegations, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe has issued a formal communication to the C.I.D Bulawayl Anti-Corruption Unit. The letter, signed by Director F. Masendu, details the multiple breaches of financial regulations and underscores the necessity for proper Exchange Control approval in all such transactions.

    The bank’s statement provides a comprehensive outline of the general guidelines for transactions involving foreign entities, emphasizing the mandatory requirements for Exchange Control approval and the use of proper banking channels. The communication also reiterates the illegality of purchasing foreign currency on the parallel market.

    Impact and Next Steps

    These revelations have sent shockwaves through Zimbabwe’s legal and business communities. The allegations against Prof. Ncube not only damage his reputation but also raise significant questions about the integrity of the financial operations involving Choppies Enterprises.

    Authorities are expected to launch a thorough investigation into these allegations. Legal experts predict substantial ramifications for all parties involved as the case progresses.

    For now, Prof. Welshman Ncube and Choppies Enterprises remain under intense scrutiny, with the potential for significant legal and financial consequences looming large.

    Meanwhile, the following questions remain:

    1. Who authorized Choppies Enterprises to operate in Zimbabwe without the necessary permissions?
    2. How are they addressing the allegations of violating Zimbabwean laws?
    3. What measures are in place to prevent money laundering within their operations?
    4. How are they managing to operate 100% as a foreign entity in a sector reserved for local businesses without prior clearance?
    5. What actions will be taken to ensure compliance with Zimbabwe’s regulations moving forward?

    Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.

    “Marriages Endangered By Wicknell Chivayo”

    Analysis: The Impact of Male Money Launderers on Marriages and Community Stability

    By Dorrothy Moyo |

    Recent revelations involving convicted fraudster Wicknell Chivayo, who has been implicated in using illicit proceeds to buy luxury cars and other extravagant items for women, including those married, have sparked widespread concern.

    Wicknell Chivayo

    This analysis explores the broader implications of such actions, drawing on various case law from around the world to highlight the legal, social, and ethical consequences.

    Case Studies and Legal Precedents

    1. United States v. Frank Abagnale:
    • Frank Abagnale, famously depicted in the movie “Catch Me If You Can,” was a master forger and imposter. His case underscores the legal repercussions of fraud and money laundering, including long prison sentences and the forfeiture of assets. Abagnale’s activities also strained relationships and trust within communities, showcasing how illegal financial gains can disrupt societal norms.
    1. R v. Anand (Canada):
    • In this case, high-profile lawyer, Mr. Anand, was convicted of money laundering. The court emphasized the broader societal harm caused by money laundering, including the erosion of trust in financial institutions and the destabilization of communities. Anand’s case highlighted the personal toll on families and relationships affected by his actions.
    1. Operation Car Wash (Brazil):
    • The largest corruption scandal in Latin America, Operation Car Wash, involved numerous politicians and businesspeople engaging in money laundering. The scandal not only led to significant political and economic instability but also exposed the personal ramifications on families involved, with marriages and personal relationships suffering due to the stigma and legal battles.
    1. United Kingdom v. Asil Nadir:
    • Asil Nadir, a British businessman, was convicted of theft and money laundering. His lavish lifestyle funded by illicit proceeds eventually led to his downfall. The case illustrated the legal consequences and highlighted how such activities can lead to societal ostracism and the disintegration of personal relationships.

    Legal and Social Implications

    1. Legal Repercussions:
    • Engaging in or accepting gifts from money launderers can result in severe legal consequences, including imprisonment, fines, and the seizure of assets. Legal systems worldwide have stringent measures to combat money laundering, recognizing its detrimental impact on society.
    1. Impact on Marriages:
    • The involvement of married individuals with money launderers can lead to significant marital strife. The sudden influx of wealth can create power imbalances and trust issues within marriages. When the truth of the illicit source is revealed, it often results in legal battles, divorces, and custody disputes.
    1. Community Trust and Stability:
    • Money laundering erodes trust within communities. When individuals flaunt wealth obtained through illegal means, it undermines the values of hard work and honesty, creating a toxic environment. Communities suffer as social cohesion breaks down, leading to increased crime and social instability.
    1. Ethical and Moral Dilemmas:
    • The acceptance of gifts and favors from money launderers presents ethical and moral dilemmas. It perpetuates a cycle of corruption and unethical behavior, challenging the moral fabric of society. Upholding integrity becomes challenging when illicit wealth is normalized and celebrated.

    The actions of individuals like Wicknell Chivayo serve as a stark reminder of the far-reaching consequences of money laundering. By drawing on various case law from around the world, we see a consistent pattern of legal repercussions, personal and familial damage, and the broader societal harm caused by such activities. It is imperative for communities to remain vigilant, promote ethical behavior, and support legal measures to combat money laundering, ensuring a stable and trustworthy environment for all.

    Recommendations

    • Strengthen Legal Frameworks: Governments should continue to enhance legal frameworks to combat money laundering effectively.
    • Promote Community Awareness: Educating the public about the risks and consequences of engaging with money launderers is crucial.
    • Support Affected Families: Providing legal and emotional support to families affected by money laundering can help mitigate personal and social harm.
    • Encourage Ethical Behavior: Communities should uphold and celebrate integrity and honesty, discouraging the normalization of illicit wealth.

    Attempts to obtain a comment from Wicknell Chivayo were fruitless at the time of writing.

    Mnangagwa “Punishes” Junior Cops

    By A Correspondent

    In a sudden and controversial move, President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration has sparked outrage among junior police officers by cutting their transport allowances without prior notice.
