Accusations have surfaced against Masvingo Provincial Minister of State and Devolution, Ezra Ruvai Chadzamira, alleging that he’s leveraging his governmental authority to claim a 5-hectare plot from a widow in Masvingo.

This move is purportedly to facilitate the construction of his private elite school.

The plot in question, Plot 1 in Morning side, located approximately six kilometers from Masvingo’s city center along the old Great Zimbabwe ruins road, is being contested by Chadzamira, who allegedly aims to seize it despite the Mutseste family having occupied it for over two decades.

Following the passing of David Mutsetse, the property owner, last year, his widow, Farai Mutsetse, and their three children inherited his properties, including Plot 1.

Records from the Masvingo city council’s engineering department indicate that the family obtained permission to develop the plot in 2009 under the regional town and country planning Act of 1976. They invested significantly in developing a residential home and running a successful agricultural venture on the land.

Chadzamira’s purported plan to evict the Mutsetse family and proceed with the construction of his private school has caused unrest.

According to the family spokesperson, Clever Mutisi, Chadzamira allegedly claimed ownership of the plot, citing government acquisition. Despite the family’s engagement of legal counsel to seek clarity on the matter, progress has been elusive, with both council and government officials maintaining secrecy.

This isn’t the first time Chadzamira has faced accusations of appropriating land, as in 2016, he reportedly seized Cresta Ibeka farm from an elderly white woman, Yvonne Goddard, who had resided there for over 45 years. Despite community protests and calls for the farm’s return to Goddard for continued productivity, Chadzamira’s actions have led to its decline.

Neville Sunungurai Mutsvangwa, 44, has found himself in hot water once again, this time facing charges related to the possession of Starlink equipment without government approval.

The son of Zanu PF spokesperson Chris Mutsvangwa and Minister Monica Mutsvangwa, Neville’s troubles seem to be mounting as he navigates the complexities of Zimbabwe’s legal system.

According to the National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe , the latest incident unfolded on May 9, 2024, when police received a tip-off regarding Neville’s possession of Starlink equipment.

Acting on the information, law enforcement officials proceeded to Neville’s residence, where they allegedly discovered a Starlink router.

The National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe said: “On the 9 of May 2024, police received a tip-off to the effect that the accused person was in possession of Starlink equipment.

Police proceeded to the said person’s place of residence and discovered a Starlink router.”

The possession of Starlink equipment without government approval is a serious offense under Zimbabwean law, adding another layer of legal complexity to Neville’s already precarious situation. As the son of influential political figures, his actions and legal battles are closely scrutinized, with implications that extend beyond his personal circumstances.

This latest development comes in the wake of Neville’s previous arrest for facilitating illicit transactions, further complicating his legal standing.

While details surrounding the possession of the Starlink equipment are still emerging, the case highlights the intersection of technology, regulation, and political influence in Zimbabwe.

As Neville Mutsvangwa prepares to face the legal ramifications of these charges, questions linger about the broader implications for individuals and businesses navigating Zimbabwe’s regulatory landscape.

With the advancement of technology outpacing regulatory frameworks, cases like this underscore the challenges of balancing innovation with compliance in a rapidly evolving digital world.

As the legal process unfolds, Neville Mutsvangwa’s case serves as a microcosm of larger societal issues, shedding light on the complexities of power, privilege, and accountability in Zimbabwean society.

Whether justice will be served or political influence will sway the outcome remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Neville’s legal troubles are far from over.

Missing Patient from Gwanda Hospital Found Deceased

Gwanda, May 9, 2024 – A tragic discovery has occurred as the body of Keeper Moyo, a 60-year-old patient who mysteriously disappeared from Gwanda Provincial Hospital, was found deceased. Moyo was last seen on the night of April 30, 2024, around 10 PM before he vanished without a trace.

The body was located on May 7 by a local youth in a bush along the Manzamnyama River, in an advanced state of decomposition, sparking concerns about his whereabouts and safety during the period he was unaccounted for. Moyo had been suffering from memory loss, frequently expressing a desire to return to his rural home, which may have contributed to his fatal departure from the hospital, Masvingo Mirror reports.

Inspector Loveness Mangena, the spokesperson for Matabeleland South Provincial Police, confirmed the incident and stated that an investigation is actively underway. “Moyo was reported missing after he discharged himself from Gwanda Hospital late at night. His body was discovered a week later in a secluded, bushy area close to Manzamnyama River,” she reported.

This incident has highlighted significant security concerns regarding the safety of patients in government hospital facilities, prompting calls for stringent measures to prevent such occurrences in the future.

Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding Moyo’s disappearance and death, as the local community and Moyo’s family seek answers and closure following this distressing event. Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.-MasvingoMorrror

In a recent social media post, controversial Zanu PF member Killer Zivhu has sparked outrage by publicly ridiculing hungry citizens. The insensitive remarks made by Zivhu have drawn sharp criticism from the public, highlighting the growing disconnect between political elites and the everyday struggles faced by ordinary Zimbabweans.

Zivhu’s actions have stunned many, as he took to social media to boast about enjoying a lavish meal while mocking those who cannot afford such luxuries.

In a now-deleted post, Zivhu shared a picture of himself indulging in delicious food, accompanied by derogatory comments aimed at those who are struggling to make ends meet.

“Watodya lunch here? , nhaiwe kana wamwa mvura chete,” Zivhu boldly proclaimed, demonstrating a shocking lack of empathy and understanding towards the plight of hungry citizens.

The callousness displayed by Zivhu in his remarks has sparked widespread condemnation, with many expressing outrage and disgust at his insensitivity towards the struggles faced by ordinary Zimbabweans.

Social media platforms have been flooded with criticism directed at Zivhu, with users calling for accountability and an apology for his disparaging comments.

In response to the backlash, Zivhu has attempted to downplay the severity of his remarks, claiming that they were taken out of context. However, his attempts to backtrack have done little to quell the anger of the public, who view his comments as indicative of a broader disconnect between political elites and the realities of everyday life for ordinary citizens.

Speaking out against Zivhu’s remarks, one social media user stated, “It is disgraceful that a public figure would openly mock the struggles of hungry citizens.

This behavior is not only insensitive but also demonstrates a complete lack of empathy and understanding towards the hardships faced by many Zimbabweans.”

Another commenter expressed their disappointment, saying, “As a member of Zanu PF, Zivhu should be using his platform to uplift and support the people, not belittle and mock them. His actions are a betrayal of the trust placed in him by the citizens he claims to represent.”

The controversy surrounding Zivhu’s remarks serves as a stark reminder of the pressing need for political leaders to be more attuned to the needs and concerns of the people they serve.

Instead of mocking the struggles of hungry citizens, there is a clear imperative for leaders to work towards addressing the root causes of poverty and food insecurity, and to implement policies that uplift and empower all Zimbabweans.

In the face of adversity, it is crucial for citizens to stand together in solidarity and demand accountability from those in positions of power.

By holding individuals like Zivhu to account for their words and actions, we can strive towards a more just and equitable society for all.

Chief Shana, Prominent Critic of Food Aid Deprivation, Passes Away

By Farai D Hove | The Hwange community and broader Zimbabwean society are in mourning following the death of Chief Shana of Jambezi, a vocal advocate for government collaboration with NGOs to address food shortages in Matabeleland North. Chief Shana, born Jonah Neluswi, passed away on Saturday night at Mater Dei Hospital in Bulawayo, where he had been receiving treatment for the past three weeks.

Chief Shana had been at the forefront of urging the Zimbabwean government to allow non-governmental organizations to help provide food aid, especially as his district faces a severe drought this year, worsening the plight of his people in one of Zimbabwe’s poorest regions.

“We received the news of his death with sadness as we thought he would recover. He was one of our senior leaders whom we all looked up to in Matabeleland North, and you would remember he was provincial chair of the Chiefs Council for about 15 years,” remarked Chief Mtshane Khumalo of Bubi, President of the Chiefs Council.

Chief Shana’s leadership extended beyond his local jurisdiction, having served as a representative of Chiefs in the Senate, where he was a formidable advocate for the rights and welfare of traditional communities. “He was not a chief for Hwange only but for the whole province and nation as he was also at some point for many years a representative of Chiefs in the Senate,” Chief Mtshane added.

Richard Moyo, Matabeleland North Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister, expressed the region’s profound loss, stating, “Following his death, we have lost so much as traditional leaders. He occupied several senior positions in the province and national level.”

Consultations between the family and government regarding burial arrangements are currently underway, reflecting the high regard in which Chief Shana was held across political and social spectrums.

As the community reflects on Chief Shana’s legacy, his calls for collaborative efforts to tackle food insecurity, amplified by the impacts of climate change and frequent droughts, continue to resonate. His advocacy for involving NGOs in aid distribution underscored his commitment to the survival and dignity of his people, marking him as a leader deeply connected to the needs of his community.

Armed Robbery in Southlea Park, Harare

By Dorrothy Moyo | ZimEye | The Southlea Park community in Harare is reeling from a violent armed robbery that occurred on the evening of May 11, 2024. Authorities are urgently calling for witnesses after four unidentified male suspects committed a brazen robbery at a local residence.

At approximately 9:00 PM, the victim, whose identity has been withheld for safety reasons, was intercepted by the suspects as he was opening his gate. The assailants, who were armed with pistols and arrived in a silver Mercedes Benz C-Class, forced the victim into his house at gunpoint.

Inside, the suspects executed a thorough ransack of the premises, making off with a Galesi pistol .22LR equipped with a magazine of four rounds, two cell phones, and a significant sum of US$5,500.00 in cash. In a calculated move to cover their tracks, the suspects also disabled the home’s security by disconnecting the CCTV and absconding with the server.

The ordeal escalated as the robbers loaded their stolen goods into the victim’s white Toyota GD6, bearing the registration AGC 1740, and fled the scene. The vehicle was last seen speeding away from Fidelity Houses, the subdivision where the crime took place.

The Southlea Park Police are spearheading the investigation and urge anyone with information about the incident or the whereabouts of the suspects and the stolen items to come forward. Community members can report any relevant details to any nearby police station.

This crime has sent shockwaves through the community, prompting calls for increased security measures and vigilance among residents. The police are increasing patrols in the area and have vowed to make every effort to bring the perpetrators to justice and recover the stolen property.

Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.

In a recent development, Government spokesman Nick Mangwana has pointed a finger at the opposition, attributing the perceived decline of Harare to their governance.

Mangwana’s statement on Thursday ignited controversy as he accused the opposition of neglecting the city’s infrastructure and cleanliness.

“The city roads are being rehabilitated and now looking and functioning like those of an Upper Middle Income Capital. But the city is full of rubbish because @cohsunshinecity is all rubbish,” remarked Mangwana in a direct condemnation of the opposition-led local authority.

The assertion from the government spokesman comes amidst ongoing efforts to revitalize Harare’s infrastructure, particularly its road network.

Mangwana’s portrayal of progress in road rehabilitation clashes starkly with his depiction of the city’s cleanliness, painting a picture of discord between physical infrastructure improvements and environmental maintenance.

However, Mangwana’s statement also sheds light on a broader issue concerning the allocation of funds for devolution and development.

The central government’s reluctance to release funds to local authorities, purportedly as a form of punitive action against opposition officials, raises questions about the politicization of resource distribution.

“Central government is unwilling to release funds for devolution and development as a way of punishing opposition officials running local authorities,” a city of Harare official responded, highlighting the underlying power dynamics at play.

This stance not only impedes the progress of local governance initiatives but also exacerbates existing challenges faced by municipalities in fulfilling their mandates.

The assertion that central government funding is being withheld as a punitive measure underscores the deep-seated political tensions within Zimbabwe’s governance framework.

Such actions not only hinder the effective functioning of local authorities but also perpetuate a cycle of political antagonism that undermines collaborative efforts for urban development and service delivery.

As Harare grapples with the juxtaposition of infrastructure improvements and cleanliness concerns, the blame game between the government and the opposition continues to unfold.

Whether this rhetoric will translate into tangible solutions for the city’s challenges remains uncertain, but what is clear is the pressing need for coordinated efforts and constructive dialogue to address Harare’s multifaceted issues.

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa has sent a message of condolences to the Swanepoel family following the death of the former leader of the Commercial Farmers Union, Mr Nick Swanepoel.

In a statement, President Mnangagwa described Mr Swanepoel as a great figure of post-independence racial conciliation through just settlement of the land question.

“I was acutely distressed and deeply saddened to receive yesterday news of the death in South Africa of Mister Nick Swanepoel, a longtime leader of the Commercial Farmers Union, CFU. A veteran farmer and leader, Zimbabwe remembers and mourns the late Nick Swanepoel for his role as a key and progressive player in the search for an amicable, negotiated settlement to the vexatious and historically-rooted Zimbabwean Land Question.”

Mr Swanepoel was a veteran farmer, who played a key role in pushing for a non-confrontational and non-political approach to the Land Question, when Zimbabwe sought to correct the colonial injustices through the land reform programme at the turn of the millennium.

President Mnangagwa noted how Mr Swanepoel and other progressive white commercial farmers tabled to government land settlement proposals as early as 2001.

The proposals called upon white commercial farmers to not only endorse and cede land which government needed for resettlement, but to also participate in the actual resettlement of landless Zimbabweans.

“From 2000 when the struggle for the recovery of our land entered a decisive phase, Nick and like-minded progressive white farmers kept their heads, and tirelessly pushed for a non-confrontational and non-political approach to the Land Question, even calling for the removal of the then right-wing CFU Executive, led by Tim Henwood, which they correctly saw as an obstacle to a just resolution of the Land Question. True to his conciliatory, mature and realistic approach, Mr Swanepoel and his group tabled to Government land settlement proposals as early as in 2001, which called upon white commercial farmers to not only endorse and cede land which Government needed for resettlement, but also to participate in the actual resettlement of landless Zimbabweans through various inputs to the new
black farmers,” read a statement by the President.

The President said the result of Mr Swanepoel’s efforts was the historic Global Compensation Deed signed by government and the Commercial Farmers Union in July 2020.

It provided for government to pay white farmers a total of US$3.5 billion for improvements on acquired land.

President Mnangagwa said government will decide on the form of support it will give to the Swanepoel family once burial arrangements are known.

Major Money Laundering Ring Busted in Harare, Three Arrested

Harare, Zimbabwe — In a significant crackdown on illegal financial activities, Zimbabwean authorities have arrested three individuals linked to a major money laundering operation. The suspects, identified as Neville Sungurai Mutsvangwa (44), Ellas Majachani (45), and Simbarashe Tichingana (38), were arraigned before the Harare Magistrates’ Court, facing multiple charges related to illegal currency dealings and money laundering.

The trio is accused of operating an unlicensed money transfer service named Mumba Money Transfer since January 1, 2019. They allegedly bypassed regulatory frameworks, contravening both the Exchange Control Act and the Bank Use Promotion and Suppression of Money Laundering Act. The State claims the accused advertised their illicit services online, directing potential clients to their makeshift offices in Harare, and conducted transactions using both electronic funds transfers and physical cash, leveraging foreign bank accounts to obscure their illicit activities.

During the arrest on May 8, 2024, police seized extensive evidence from the suspects, including four smartphones, 45 SIM cards, four computers, a point-of-sale (POS) machine, 28 debit cards with 15 being VISA cards issued by foreign banks, three money counters, a register of transactions, and cash amounting to USD 3890.

The court proceedings took a dramatic turn as the State strongly opposed granting bail to the accused, citing the gravity of the charges and the evidence presented. The investigating officer was called to provide viva voce evidence, highlighting the intricate details of the operation. However, the hearing was adjourned mid-testimony, with the continuation of the bail hearing scheduled for Monday, May 13, 2024, at 08:30.

This case marks one of the most significant operations against money laundering in Zimbabwe in recent years and underscores the government’s increased efforts to combat financial crimes that have long plagued the nation.

Lucia Matibenga Takes Charge of Harare City Council, Signaling Shift in Local Politics

By Farai D Hove | In a dramatic turn of events, Lucia Matibenga, a long-standing rival of Tendai Biti, has been appointed to oversee the embattled Harare City Council. This change comes as President Emmerson Mnangagwa initiates a commission of inquiry into the City of Harare’s management and council, marking a significant departure from Biti’s influence under ZANU PF’s shadow.

Chaired by retired judge Maphios Cheda and including opposition figure Matibenga, the commission is tasked with enhancing transparency and accountability in Harare’s governance. This move reflects a clear end to Tendai Biti’s dominance, which began to wane following his contentious actions against Ted Nelson Chamisa and his legislators post the 2023 elections. Biti had declared after the 2024 elections that Chamisa had “finished himself,” a sentiment echoed through the political maneuvers of Biti’s agent, Semgezo Tshabangu.

Matibenga’s appointment comes less than seven months after Biti, through Mayor Jacob Mafume, controlled the capital. Her entry is viewed as an attempt to stabilize and depoliticize the council’s management, which has been marred by allegations of mismanagement and corruption.

This political reshuffling aligns with a broader strategy by Emmerson Mnangagwa aimed at undermining the influence of all factions of the MDC. Mnangagwa has revealed that his policy is clear: “Every program of the MDC, it doesn’t matter which MDC it is, must be short-circuited, everything must be killed at Harvest House.” This statement underscores the administration’s intent to suppress any political challenge rising from the ranks of the MDC, ensuring ZANU PF retains control over key urban centers, including Harare.

As Lucia Matibenga steps into her new role, the people of Harare anticipate a governance model focused on integrity and service delivery, moving away from the politically charged atmosphere that has hindered the city’s progress. The broader implications of this development reflect Mnangagwa’s continued strategy to consolidate power while marginalizing opposition influences across Zimbabwe’s political landscape.

In a surprising twist amid widespread criticism, Sengezo Tshabangu, the interim Secretary General of the controversial Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), has lauded Mr. Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration, describing it as superb. Tshabangu, who also serves as a Senator, urged the nation to embrace what he perceives as the strengths of the failing regime.

Speaking out on Monday, Tshabangu made a bold declaration, stating, “It’s high time we shift our focus on Unity, Peace, Transparency and of course Development. Zimbabwe is endowed with vast natural resources that will take us to the next step ahead.

I commend the progress being made at the Mbudzi Traffic Interchange, keep the ball rolling @MhonaFelix.”

Tshabangu’s unexpected praise for Mnangagwa’s administration flies in the face of mounting discontent and disillusionment among many Zimbabweans. With economic challenges, political unrest, and social instability plaguing the nation, Tshabangu’s stance represents a divergence from the prevailing narrative of dissatisfaction.

The endorsement of Mnangagwa’s regime by a prominent figure within the opposition ranks raises questions about the complexities of Zimbabwe’s political landscape.

While Tshabangu’s remarks may be seen as an attempt to foster unity and constructive engagement, they also highlight the nuanced dynamics at play within Zimbabwean politics.

Critics argue that Tshabangu’s characterization of Mnangagwa’s administration as superb overlooks the realities faced by ordinary Zimbabweans, including rampant inflation, unemployment, and a deteriorating standard of living.

However, Tshabangu’s call for a focus on unity and development underscores the need for dialogue and collaboration in addressing the nation’s challenges.

As Zimbabwe navigates a turbulent political and economic landscape, voices like Tshabangu’s serve as a reminder of the diverse perspectives and divergent opinions that shape the country’s trajectory.

Whether his stance will resonate with the broader populace or further deepen divisions remains to be seen.

In a recent social media post, controversial Zanu PF member Killer Zivhu has sparked outrage by publicly ridiculing hungry citizens. The insensitive remarks made by Zivhu have drawn sharp criticism from the public, highlighting the growing disconnect between political elites and the everyday struggles faced by ordinary Zimbabweans.

Zivhu’s actions have stunned many, as he took to social media to boast about enjoying a lavish meal while mocking those who cannot afford such luxuries.

In a now-deleted post, Zivhu shared a picture of himself indulging in delicious food, accompanied by derogatory comments aimed at those who are struggling to make ends meet.

“Watodya lunch here? , nhaiwe kana wamwa mvura chete,” Zivhu boldly proclaimed, demonstrating a shocking lack of empathy and understanding towards the plight of hungry citizens.

The callousness displayed by Zivhu in his remarks has sparked widespread condemnation, with many expressing outrage and disgust at his insensitivity towards the struggles faced by ordinary Zimbabweans.

Social media platforms have been flooded with criticism directed at Zivhu, with users calling for accountability and an apology for his disparaging comments.

In response to the backlash, Zivhu has attempted to downplay the severity of his remarks, claiming that they were taken out of context. However, his attempts to backtrack have done little to quell the anger of the public, who view his comments as indicative of a broader disconnect between political elites and the realities of everyday life for ordinary citizens.

Speaking out against Zivhu’s remarks, one social media user stated, “It is disgraceful that a public figure would openly mock the struggles of hungry citizens.

This behavior is not only insensitive but also demonstrates a complete lack of empathy and understanding towards the hardships faced by many Zimbabweans.”

Another commenter expressed their disappointment, saying, “As a member of Zanu PF, Zivhu should be using his platform to uplift and support the people, not belittle and mock them. His actions are a betrayal of the trust placed in him by the citizens he claims to represent.”

The controversy surrounding Zivhu’s remarks serves as a stark reminder of the pressing need for political leaders to be more attuned to the needs and concerns of the people they serve.

Instead of mocking the struggles of hungry citizens, there is a clear imperative for leaders to work towards addressing the root causes of poverty and food insecurity, and to implement policies that uplift and empower all Zimbabweans.

In the face of adversity, it is crucial for citizens to stand together in solidarity and demand accountability from those in positions of power.

By holding individuals like Zivhu to account for their words and actions, we can strive towards a more just and equitable society for all.

Opposition leader Advocate Nelson Chamisa has raised concerns over what he perceives as a significant deficiency in the country’s leadership.

In a poignant statement made on Wednesday, Advocate Chamisa addressed what he described as a concerning trend in leadership roles within Zimbabwe, likening it to a form of societal malnutrition, specifically referring to kwashiorkor, a severe form of malnutrition affecting children.

Advocate Chamisa declared :
“The Leader is a Servant, Not a Master…”

Advocate Chamisa’s statement encapsulates a powerful message about the fundamental nature of leadership. He emphasizes the principle that leadership is fundamentally about service and enabling others. “To lead is to serve. To serve is to enable. A leader is a servant. A servant is an enabler,” he expressed.

Leadership, in his view, should not be about wielding power for personal gain or control, but rather about empowering and facilitating progress within the community. He highlights the various positions of authority, including the presidency, ministerial roles, parliamentary positions, and civil service, as opportunities for individuals to make a positive impact by enabling those they serve.

“Great leaders enable those whom they serve,” Chamisa emphasized, underlining the importance of leaders fostering an environment conducive to growth and development for all.

Advocate Chamisa’s words echo a sentiment that transcends political boundaries and speaks to a universal ideal of leadership.

Regardless of political affiliation or ideology, the concept of servant leadership resonates as a timeless principle that guides effective governance and societal progress.

In calling for a paradigm shift towards servant leadership, Advocate Chamisa issues a challenge to those in positions of power to reassess their roles and responsibilities.

He emphasizes that true leadership lies not in the accumulation of authority, but in the ability to uplift and empower others.

As Zimbabwe continues to navigate its path forward, Advocate Chamisa’s message serves as a reminder of the transformative potential of leadership rooted in service and empathy.

It underscores the need for leaders to prioritize the well-being and advancement of their constituents above all else, fostering a culture of inclusivity and collective prosperity.

In the face of ongoing challenges, Advocate Chamisa’s call for servant leadership offers a beacon of hope and a blueprint for building a brighter future for Zimbabwe and its people.

“When one serves as President, Minister, Member of Parliament, councillor, civil servant or in any public office, one must enable not disable.”

“Great leaders enable those whom they serve. #LeadersServe #ForEveryone.”

In a heated exchange within the hallowed halls of Parliament, Norton MP Richard Tsvangirai took Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube to task over President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s apparent disdain for the newly introduced Zimbabwe Gold currency (ZiG).

The confrontation, which unfolded on Monday, May 6, 2024, during a session of the Parliament committee on budget, finance, and investment promotion, shed light on the challenges facing the implementation of ZiG in Zimbabwe.

Tsvangirai minced no words as he questioned the feasibility of ZiG in light of Mnangagwa’s very public endorsement of the US dollar, a move that, according to Tsvangirai, undermines confidence in the local currency.

He pointed to images circulating on social media showing Mnangagwa ostentatiously displaying USD notes, a sight that could deter citizens from embracing ZiG.

“The Minister of Finance appeared before the Parliament committee on budget, finance, and investment promotion on Monday, May 6, 2024, to deliberate on issues in connection with the recent monetary policy that birthed the structured currency ZiG,” Tsvangirai stated, setting the stage for his interrogation of Minister Ncube.

Central to Tsvangirai’s line of questioning was the accessibility of essential goods and services in the local currency, particularly fuel and passports.

He demanded clarity from Minister Ncube on how the government planned to instill confidence in ZiG when high-ranking officials flaunted foreign currency in public settings.

“I questioned the MOF on fuel and passports not being accessible in the local currency and how he was going to foster confidence in the local currency when the head of state was flashing and parading USD’s in public,” Tsvangirai reiterated, underscoring the urgency of addressing the disconnect between government policy and public perception.

Minister Ncube, for his part, attempted to assuage concerns by reaffirming the government’s commitment to ZiG and outlining measures to promote its adoption.

However, Tsvangirai’s pointed inquiries underscored broader skepticism regarding the efficacy of ZiG in an economic landscape plagued by instability and mistrust.

The clash between Tsvangirai and Minister Ncube epitomizes the multifaceted challenges confronting Zimbabwe’s monetary policy reforms.

While ZiG represents a bold attempt to restore confidence in the nation’s currency, its success hinges not only on governmental support but also on public perception and economic realities.

As Zimbabwe navigates this complex terrain, robust dialogue and accountability will be essential in charting a path toward sustainable financial stability.

In a harrowing incident that has shaken the community of Buhera, a nurse was fatally stabbed right at her doorstep on the evening of April 28. Ivy Mangwanya, a 40-year-old nurse who was employed at Nerutanga Clinic, became the victim of a brutal attack that has left the local residents in shock and mourning.

Assistant Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka, the acting Manicaland provincial police spokesperson, confirmed to the Manica Post the details of this tragic event. According to Assistant Inspector Chinyoka, Ms. Mangwanya had just returned from a trip to Masvingo when she was accosted by an unknown assailant who attacked her with a sharp object, targeting her throat.

The perpetrator then robbed her of a Vodacom cellphone along with a bag filled with various articles of clothing before fleeing the scene, leaving Ms. Mangwanya to tragically bleed to death. “The suspect snatched a Vodacom cellphone and a bag containing various clothes and vanished from the scene, leaving the victim to bleed to death,” Chinyoka described, highlighting the brutal nature of the attack.

In a minor yet poignant discovery, a bag suspected to be Ms. Mangwanya’s was later found with some clothes still inside it, suggesting a hurried discard by the assailant. This clue has sparked a manhunt as the local law enforcement, led by Assistant Inspector Chinyoka, intensifies efforts to capture the criminal responsible for this heinous crime.

The deceased’s body was promptly transported to Murambinda Mission Hospital where a post-mortem examination was conducted to further investigate the circumstances surrounding her death.

The police have issued an appeal to the public, urging anyone with information related to the attack or the whereabouts of the suspect to come forward. “The suspect is still at large, and we are appealing to the public with information pertaining to the whereabouts of the unknown suspect to report to any nearest police station,” stated Assistant Inspector Chinyoka.

This incident has cast a shadow over the community, especially among healthcare professionals who often travel long distances to serve in rural clinics. The tragic loss of Ms. Mangwanya not only highlights the dangers they face but also the need for increased security measures in remote areas.

As the investigation continues, the community remains hopeful that justice will be served for Ivy Mangwanya, whose life was cut tragically short in such a brutal and senseless manner.
