Urban stream bank cultivators put on notice

By Perpetua Murungweni

As the first major rains hit Masvingo City on Wednesday November 06, the local authority has warned urban dwellers against stream bank cultivation saying the authority will not hesitate to punish those found wanting citing dangers of siltation in supply dam.
A number of people were busy of late preparing small portions of land especially along Mucheke River which is one of the major tributary to Lake Mutirikwi which supplies water to the city.
Masvingo City Council Mayor Alec Tabe told TellZim News that council was not going to hesitate to fine those who will be caught cultivating in the stream banks as that threatens the river with siltation.
“Those that who will be caught carrying cultivating in the stream banks will be fined as stipulated by Council by laws, EMA Act Chapter 20:27, Forestry Commission Act, Parks and Wildlife Act,” said Tabe.
Tabe said council was going to be strict in enforcing the bylaws as stream bank cultivation has effects on both the land and rivers
“Stream bank cultivation causes siltation of rivers and other water bodies. It occurs when soil and sediment are deposited into waterways, causing water to become cloudy and reducing its ability to support aquatic life. It also causes soil erosion reducing soil fertility and increases sedimentation.
“Stream bank cultivation alters natural habitats. There is terrestrial species displacement since cultivation replaces the natural vegetation. Altered water quality and habitat disrupt ecosystems resulting in loss of aquatic species,” said Tabe.
He also said stream bank cultivation impacts on climate and the fines to be paid by offenders will be used to fight against climate change.
“There are increased greenhouse gas emissions, due to fertilizer use and soil degradation. The water cycle is disrupted due to changes in evapotranspiration and runoff and it may also result in climate sensitive crop failures. So there are climate change mitigations that will be put in place and the fines will be channeled towards that,” he said.
He said council was not only going to fine those practicing stream bank cultivation but was also going to educate residents first on the effects of stream bank cultivation through awareness campaigns.
“As council we have a mandate to raise awareness to residents on the adverse effects of stream bank cultivation to the environment as well as to people. Awareness campaigns will also be carried out in collaboration with other Government stakeholders (Environmental Management Agency (EMA), ZRP, Forestry Commission, Parks and wildlife Authority and NGOs).
Residents will be educated about the statutory instruments that are used to enforce the laws against stream bank cultivation,” said Tabe.
The Zimbabwe National Water Authority (ZINWA) recently warned that Zimbabwe’s biggest inland lakes, Tugwi-Mukosi and Mutirikwi were under threat as most dams in the country have been highly affected by siltation.
Urban agriculture if practiced sustainably is of paramount importance as it supports the livelihoods of many, significantly reducing the cost of living for low income earners in the country.
However, in spite of its implications, Masvingo residents continue to defy odds by cultivating crops near streams with some urbanites being accused of damaging sewer infrastructure to water their maize plots along streams,
EMA is on record warning that streams are fragile and therefore should not be used for farming unless a conservation plan is in place as application of fertilizers within the river banks leads to water pollution through enrichment from dissolved nutrients.
This lead to dams being progressively reduced in volume and eventually filled up and also eutrophication poisons aquatic life, fish dying in dams while choking aquatic plants. Highly silted dams pose a threat as livestock can become stuck in the mud.

Backyard prep distributors on rise in Masvingo

By Virginia Njovo

Masvingo City Council health department has raised alarm over backyard distribution of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) services in the commonage and has since partnered with Pangaea Zimbabwe Aids Trust (PZAT) to speak against the social ill and offer proper services.
Masvingo City Health and Environmental Services Department Director, Suzanne Madamombe told TellZim News that they were in the process of tracing the distributors and take appropriate measures.
“We are worried about unlicensed people offering health services in the residential areas. We are in the process of tracking down the people who are unlawfully distributing services which are harmful to residents. We are warning the peddlers that it is a punishable offence and we plead with members of the public to avoid getting health services in backyards as well as provide us with information that lead us to the offenders,” said Madamombe.
Madamombe said Runyararo Clinic in partnership with PZTA was offering various PrEP options including Oral PrEP which is highly effective in reducing the risk of HIV infection, Injectable PrEP which was recently approved by Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe (MCAZ).
“We are offering PrEP vaginal ring for women which is a safe and effective method to reduce the risk of HIV transmission. As council we are offering awareness campaigns on the new PrEP methods which are user friendly at the clinic so there is no need to go to backyards.
Masvingo City Council Public Relations Officer Ashleigh Jinjika emphasised the need for residents to get services from authorized healthcare service providers to mitigate risks of contracting HIV/AIDS.
“Unregulated PrEP services may provide substandard or counterfeit medications which may lead to treatment failure and drug resistance which lead to health complications such as increased viral load and transmission,” said Jinjika.
She added that backdoor services did not allow proper monitoring of patients which is why it is always safer to seek for authorized health services.
“Backdoor services do not provide adequate monitoring as there will be difficulties in tracking treatment effectiveness or identify potential issues that may be of concern,” said Jinjika.
One sex worker who spoke on condition of anonymity said they were happy with the services being offered by the clinic saying it was convenient for them.
“The approval of injectable and ring PrEP is helping us as sex workers as it more convenient than taking orals on daily basis. We applaud the local authority and its partners for offering this service,” she said.

Mupinga school head retires after four decades of service

By Taurai Masekesa

Chiredzi East’s Mupinga High School head has decided to call it a day after serving the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education for 42 years and Mupinga High for 15 years.
The dedicated educator Jeshua Chituni, who received education from several schools, including Muzondidya, Gaba, and St Anthony High School, before going for teacher training at then Gwelo Teachers’ College, joined the service in January 1982.
Chituni taught at several schools such as Mashoko High and Hippo Valley High School as a mathematics teacher before assuming the post of a school head at Magudu Secondary School, in Masvingo District, in 1994 and later joined Mupinga High School in May 2009.
Giving his retirement speech at an event attended by people from all walks of life including education officials, politicians, business people, Save community members, traditional and religious leaders, Chituni thanked the community for the support he got during his tenure at Mupinga High.
“I want to thank the Save community for the time we worked together, the trust we built, and the support I got from parents. I hope the community will continue to support the interim administration and will do the same for the new head. Such support will enable the growth of the school and create a suitable environment for learners,” said Chituni.
Chituni was National Association of Secondary Heads (NASH) Chiredzi chairperson from 2011 to 2018 and Better Schools Programme in Zimbabwe (BSPZ) Vice chairperson from 2011 to 2024.
He was influential in the management committee which is credited for mobilizing funds for the BSPZ Resource Centre which started operating on October 30, 2024, after completion of the first phase of construction.
The current NASH chairperson Victor Zvada described Chituni as a dedicated and hardworking person who wanted things to be done in the correct way.
“I joined the ministry while Chituni was already in the field, I learnt a lot from him while he was the NASH chairperson. He is someone who wants work to be done properly,” said Zvada.
During the event district education officials showered praise to Chituni for leading the district to the historic achievement that saw the migration of education offices from National Social Security Authority (NSSA) complex to the new BSPZ Resource Centre

MP raises alarm on politicised food aid in Parliament

By Beatific Gumbwanda

CHIREDZI – Chiredzi Central Member of Parliament (MPs), Ropafadzo Makumire, recently expressed worry over the potential politicization of food aid in rural areas.
Makumire was responding to President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s State of The Nation Address (SONA) in Parliament where he highlighted that government would roll out a food assistance programme following the El Nino induced drought.
After the SONA, MPs were allowed to debate on the issues raised in the address, and Makumire highlighted the need to stop politicization of food aid as the government move towards assisting communities affected by drought.
He said food aid was being distributed on partisan lines, sabotaging the President’s effort to fight hunger across the country.
“The President, in his address, also mentioned the efforts being made by government of Zimbabwe in addressing drought. As much as I appreciate the efforts made so far, Mr Speaker Sir, I am concerned about how food aid is being distributed in some of the drought-stricken areas. We have noted with concern that some of the aid is being distributed on partisan lines,” said Makumire.
Makumire added that people were sabotaging such efforts and it had to be exposed. He said the school feeding scheme should also be introduced to secondary schools.
“I am flagging some of these issues to bring to light people who are sabotaging the efforts that are being made by the President. This has to be known, Mr Speaker Sir, in as much as the President is trying to feed the whole nation, people are sabotaging such efforts. We must expose that in this house.
“The President also mentioned the school feeding programme in areas that are stricken by drought, but from my experience, I have realized that the assistance is going towards primary schools. In secondary schools, they have not received anything, but these children will be coming from the same home without food, without anything. It is also important, Mr Speaker Sir, that secondary schools be considered for such programmes, “said Makumire.
Speaker of Parliament, Advocate Jacob Mudenda, responded saying it was the Parliamentarians’ duty to expose such behaviour by raising the issues with him or the Minister of Social Welfare.
“The President’s mantra is leaving no one and no place behind so if there are instances of that sort, it is the responsibility of Honourable Members to raise the red flag and advise the Minister of Public Service, Labour, and Social Welfare, honourable July Moyo what is happening on the ground so that corrective action is taken,” said Mudenda.
Chiredzi District is among those who were heavily affected by El Nino as some farmers failed to harvest single grain and it is in these areas where suspected opposition members are denied their right to access food aid from the government which is being distributed along party lines.

Residents blame council for negligence following tragic death of workers

By Tinaani Nyabereka

Gweru Residents have called upon Gweru City Council to prioritise safety of workers following the tragic death of two council employees who suffocated inside a sewer manhole while attending to a blockage in Athlone suburb.
Though there was no official statement on what exactly caused the death of the two, sources said the victims inhaled toxic gases that were in the shaft.
Gweru City Council Spokesperson, Vimbai Chingwaramusee confirmed the incident and said thorough investigations will be made to make sure that no incident of a similar nature happens again.
“It is with a heavy heart that I announce the tragic loss of two Gweru City employees who passed away whilst they were on duty in Athlone.
“The incident occurred when they were working on a manhole and unfortunately, they succumbed to gas suffocation. Our thoughts and condolences go to the families, colleagues and loved ones of the deceased.
“The local authority values the lives of the employees and residents and we take the safety of our workers very seriously. We will conduct a thorough investigation into this incident to ensure that measures are put in place to prevent such tragedy from occurring in the future. We really appreciate understanding and support during this difficult time,” she added.
However, there were mixed reactions from various stakeholders and the Gweru community which accused the local authority of negligence towards the welfare of council employees.
Gweru Residents and Ratepayers Association (GRRA) director, Cornilia Selipiwe, said council was supposed to prioritize the welfare of workers.
“We are disheartened but going forward we need to have robust measures which speaks to the safety of our workers
“Remember these are the people who are on the ground and make things happen, there is need to start at their wellbeing, their salaries because they are the ones who are busy rendering services to the community.
“Why buy luxurious cars at the expense of workers who don’t have protective clothing, who don’t have salaries,” said Selipiwe.
One resident told TellZim News that proper procedures were supposed to be followed when attending to the sewer manhole.
“A manhole is a confined space therefore there are procedures that must be followed before entering including testing for gases which are toxic. So a thorough assessment needs to be done before you enter the manhole.
“Council is to blame because workers don’t have protective clothing like masks, for sewer gas, first things first there is need for detectors to check the level of gases and to detect toxic gases such as hydrogen, methane among others” said the resident.

Rains expose Masvingo City’s poor drainage system

Rains expose Masvingo City’s poor drainage system

… Residents, business left counting losses

By Perpetua Murungweni

The first major rains that fell in Masvingo on November 6, exposed Masvingo City’s poor drainage systems as the city was nearly submerged with runoff water that got into houses and shops soaking food, clothes as well as groceries.
Several streets in Masvingo CBD were impassable and the runoff got into several shops downtown and several houses especially in Mucheke and Runyararo West.
Masvingo Residents and Ratepayers Association (MURRA) board chairperson Thomas Mbetu urged council to address drainage system in the city saying the problem was becoming an annual occurrence.
“There is need for council to address drainage system through regular maintenance and infrastructure upgrades to protect residents’ health, property, and overall quality of life. Implementing effective drainage solutions can mitigate these impacts and foster a healthier and more resilient community.
“Ineffective drainage leads to water pooling during heavy rains, increasing the risk of localised flooding, damaging homes, vehicles, and infrastructure, resulting in costly repairs for residents. Clogged drainages cause stagnant water which becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other pests, increasing the risk of diseases such as malaria. Poor drainage can decrease property values, affecting residents’ investments since water floods into their homes and business,” said Mbetu.
He said the association had tried to engage council on the matter but the local authority failed to take action and the results were there for everyone to see.
“We have always engaged Masvingo City Council to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to dealing with making sure drainage systems are cleared and maintained before the start of every rainy season. However, it seems like council has learnt nothing and forgotten everything. Every year, they are found wanting and this is a cause of concern for residents,” said Mbetu.
Masvingo City Council Mayor Alec Tabe said council was working towards improvement and upgrading of the drainage systems in the city.
“The heavy rains were beyond our control but we have managed to open up all the drainage systems. With these type of heavy rainfalls, the drainages are easily clogged and close up resulting in flooding of the CBD and most residential areas.
“So far we have managed to install drainage systems in the high density suburbs where we are targeting around 4km. We were having problems in Runyararo West but we managed to widen the stream so that water will easily flow and that has reduced casualties this time around.
“Our town is continuously growing, the major contributor to these drainage chaoses is the ever growing Victoria Ranch, water runoff has increased and we are working on improving our drainage system especially in the urban set up,” said Tabe.
One business owner who refused to be named urged council to take action otherwise most businesses would close every rain season.
“Council should take action to maintain and repair drainage systems in the CBD otherwise we might be forced to close our businesses because water flows into our shops damaging goods,” said the businessperson.
One resident Nomsa Moyo from ward 3 said council should act on the drainage system because whenever they are heavy rains, their houses would be flooded with water ruining property.
“Council should try and upgrade their drainage systems because whenever it rains water flows into our houses damaging our properties. I have small kids that I’m also worried will drown in the drains because they are clogged and full of dirty water,” Moyo said.

On bail Zaka RDC Chair stops council meeting

… boasts 2030 she will still be in charge

By Brighton Chiseva

The battle for control at Zaka Rural District Council (RDC) between Chief Executive Officer David Majaura and council chairperson Fungai Maregedze is raging on with the latest development being the council chair stopping a full council meeting that was supposed to take place saying no meeting would be held without her consent.
The council chair who is currently out on bail after being arrested for abuse of office, interdicted the local authority from holding a special full council meeting to deliberate on the budget without her approval as she flexes her muscles following the relaxation of her bail conditions.
The move comes after taking a sabbatical when she was arrested though she claimed to have been mourning a relative who had passed on.
Maregedze appeared at Masvingo Magistrate’s court where she was ordered to return to court on November 19 and will no longer report to the police as had been her initial bail conditions.
Soon after the court she wrote to council through her lawyer Dereck Charamba of Ndlovu and Hwacha legal practitioners where she said she was the only one with power to convene such a meeting despite being on bail..
“We refer to the above matter and confirm that our services have been retained by our client Fungai Maregedze, the substantive Chairperson for Zaka Rural District Council. We are informed that on 4 November 2024, it came to our client’s attention of the intended conduct of a Special Council Meeting on 6 November 2024 at 1000 hours. The notice was communicated via a notice by the Chief Executive Officer. For ease of reference a copy is attached and marked ‘A’
“This correspondence is a consequence of the notice and solely purposed to highlight the ensuing fundamental breach of the Rural District Councils Act [Chapter 29:13)
“We advise that, per section 46 of the governing Act, the calling of the intended special Council meeting is the statutory prerogative of the Chairperson in the performance of her functions as envisaged in section 45 (1) (a) unless obtaining circumstances satisfy the criteria set forth in section 45 (L) (b) of the same Act.
“For purposes of completeness, the Chairperson is neither on suspension nor subject to dismissal as envisaged in section I57 of the governing Act and as such not burdened by any form of statutory restrictions in the performance of her mandate.
“Further to it, the pending criminal charges under CRB No. MSVPACC 8/74 and imposed bail conditions, neither disqualify nor incapacitate our client.
“The intended meeting is a nullity at law as the obtaining circumstances are nor as such contemplated in section 45 (1) (b) and 157 of the governing Act.
“The complained conduct, is tantamount to a deliberate and conscious disregard of the Act and scandalizes good governance and normal functioning of Zaka Rural District Council
By copy of this correspondence, we consequently put you on notice to cancel the intended meeting via a communique to invited persons by no later than 1600 hours today (5 November 2024) to allow compliance with peremptory statutory provisions in the Rural District Councils Act. Failing which we have instructions to approach the high court on an urgent basis,” reads the letter.
As if that was not enough, Maregedze took to the WhatsApp group of councilors and management where she stamped authority reminding councilors that she will be there up to 2030. In the leaked chats she said she still has power which is why she had to cancel the meeting.
“Morning councilors, the meeting was cancelled because of this, I am still there until 2030. If I wasn’t there I wouldn’t have the power to cancel this. Read the sections, I am still Chairman (sic) of Zaka RDC. Those who do not want to report to me may be excused, all what we need to do is not to discuss the meetings done in February this year which are in court but that doesn’t stop me from attending meetings,” reads her post.
She went on to warn those who do not want to work with her that she will take correct measures to deal with them and those willing were supposed to work with her.
“Councilors and management, I am stamping my authority as chair. Those who feel cannot work with me are free to do so. I am not forcing anyone but I will take action according to the rules of the land,” she said.
However, the cancellation of the meeting on the 11th hour inconvenienced some councilors who had received communication of the meeting on October 28.
Maregedze and Majaura have been at each other’s throats with their feud being alleged to emanate from Zanu PF District factional fights as the ruling party big wigs fight for control of the district.
Maregedze is wife to former deputy Minister of Finance Clemence Chiduwa who is Zaka South MP and Zaka District Zanu PF Coordinating Committee Chairperson.
Chiduwa seconded his wife to be a proportional representative councilor and allegedly went on to pay several councilors to be elected council chair to cement their control of the district allegedly after getting the District Development Coordinator (DDC) Memory Dhliwayo in their corner.
Maregedze allegedly tried to fire Majaura intending to replace him with Dhliwayo and later herself as she felt she was qualified having worked as Masvingo Provincial head at RedCross where she left and has pending fraud cases in the courts.
Investigations by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) revealed that the accused convened a number of unsanctioned meetings between February and April 2024. These meetings, attended exclusively by councilors and held without council management, had no formal agenda or records, and were outside the council’s official schedule. Despite the irregular nature of these gatherings, Maregedze authorized the payment of sitting allowances amounting to over US$6 000, all outside the council’s budget.
It is alleged that in February this year, Maregedze called for two meetings which were not part of the council’s annual schedule where US$692 and US$926 was paid to councilors, including herself, for attendance. A similar meeting was held on February 17 and she demanded allowances in violation of council procedures.
In April, Maregedze allegedly coerced the Finance Director to approve an unscheduled payment of US$4,749 for yet another unauthorized meeting.
In June 2024, she handpicked Lyonais Investments as the exclusive supplier of council fuel, disregarding the required procurement process. She allegedly authorized payment of US$1,630 for 1,000 litres of fuel without following the proper approval chain.

Lifestyle change gives away Fawcett 20k cash in transit thief

By Meditation Mposi

A dramatic shift from rags to riches ended in handcuffs for a 24 year old man, exposed by vigilant neighbors who sensed something amiss in the stunning transformation when a previously struggling neighbor suddenly bought a car and began building a house.
The neighbors alerted the police leading to the arrest of the alleged thief solving an outstanding theft of cash from a Fawcett Cash in transit vehicle after the suspect was offered a lift from Beitbridge to Mwenezi.
Masvingo Acting Provincial Police Spokesperson Assistant Inspector Masauso Patinyu confirmed the arrest and applauded the public for supplying information which led to the arrest.
“I confirm the arrest of Kelvin Chisandako (24) of Mangawo Village Chief Mawarire in Mwenezi who stole a cash box with US$20 000 from the Fawcett cash in transit vehicle on October 6.
“I want to commend members of the public for supplying information which led to the arrest of the suspect and urge them to continue supporting the police in fighting crime,” said Patinyu.
Circumstances are that on October 16 at around 1300hours a Fawcett Security Company crew of Nyambi (54), Brian Matsena (30), Tapiwa Confidence (27) and Chipfunde Jephita (42) was transporting cash from Fawcett Company Office Beitbridge to Mutare.
Upon arriving at Lutumba Service Centre the crew picked Chisandako and an unknown woman at Machiloni in Beitbridge. They were made to sit on the loading box and Chisandako was dropped at Rutenga and the woman at Ngundu.
While at Ngundu the Fawcett crew noticed that the cash box was missing and they drove back to Rutenga Police Post where they reported the matter.
CID Mwenezi took over the case and the Fawcett crew was held suspects and were detained at Mwenezi Police Station.
On November 3, the police received information that Chisandako was in possession of a huge amount of United States Dollars (USD) and there was a suspicion that he might have stolen the money.
Police went to his home, interviewed him and he confirmed having stolen the money and bought a green Toyota Aqua worth US$4 900. He had also bought 30 by 12 feet I B.R roofing sheets, 35 bags of cement, 7 window frames, four French doors, 15 000 farm bricks, a smart phone and three suits.
Police recovered the car, US$600 cash, R2 320, 30 bags of cement and the three suits. An empty cashbox was found in a small pit behind his house. The rest had been used to build a house.

Wangu Mazodze’s PSL hope dim

By Tatiana Mhararira

FC Wangu Mazodze’s Premier Soccer League aspirations are getting slim following a 2 – 0 defeat at Rudhaka Stadium, the home ground of FC Hunters, which significantly reduced the gap between the log leaders and main rivalry Tenax FC.
The Kingdom Boys as FC Wangu Mazodze is affectionately known, was leading with 14 points at some point but the team is now just 2 points ahead of second-placed Tenax
FC Wangu Mazodze is at the top of the table with 64 points from 28 matches. Tenax FC follows closely behind with 62 points from 29 games, while Triangle FC is third placed with 60 points from 28 matches.
With only 4 games left, Mazodze needs to secure at least 3 wins at most to grab the title, provided that Tenax wins all of their remaining matches.
Both Tenax and Triangle are fighting for the PSL promotion ticket and are capitalizing on every opportunity to advance.
As the competition intensifies, they aim to claim victory against the log leaders, who have a tendency of dropping points as the season draws to a close, reminiscent of Arsenal’s performance last season.
In the previous season, FC Wangu Mazodze missed out on the title after drawing with Renco Mine FC on the final day, while Tenax FC lost their chance for promotion to the PSL following a board decision that revealed they had fielded an unregistered player in their last match, allowing Bikita Minerals FC to secure promotion instead.
Triangle FC, having been relegated from the PSL due to a lack of points, is determined to reclaim their place this season and is fighting hard to do so.
FC Wangu Mazodze believes in its ability to achieve PSL promotion, which was last accomplished by Masvingo United FC several years ago.
In their next match, FC Wangu Mazodze will face Tenax FC at their home ground, Mucheke Stadium. The remaining fixtures include an away match against Mutare City Rovers and two home matches against St. Paul’s Musami FC and Surrey FC.

Minister Mavetera quit mutoriro now !!

It’s been a good week, the heavens gave us its tears in the oldest city in this teapot country. I am happy the ground is wet and we are smelling cold air, at least the sewerage in Mucheke River was carried to the city’s sole water source and for now paChitima pari nani but you all know, hazvidi one week to restore to factory settings. The rains were good yes but some are crying as they lost valuables mvura yacho yaipinda mudzimba and shops in town. This should be a wakeup call for the city fathers and mothers to make sure that they have pushed management to fix drainage systems which is the only way to keep residents safe. Mayor Tabe, we need action fast before the second rains fell otherwise there will be a disaster.
It was a good week for Batswana, yes they inaugurated a new President who is leading a new party. I wish I could go there ndambonodyawo zvitapi tapi zveko. I saw kuti haa kwakaendwa, even ana Ostallos were there, Jobson Sikhandela was also there, not to mention Nero and his brother Ba 2. How I wish I had power I would have taken the two guys and lock them in some hotel there in Botswana and asked them to map a way forward for the country and would only leave after they agree on something. Those two guys are holding us at ransom. I know maNerorists would say heee Nero haasi in power saka haana power. Hey let me tell you. He represents a number of people and has the country’s hopes and whatever he says has some implications in the political landscape. He commands a large following and most of his followers are ready to do anything he says even the craziest and stupidest thing, they would do without questioning. I am sure Nero got some notes on how to win as an opposition, if he didn’t then he has to be careful otherwise achangoperekedza michato yevamwe iye asingachati. Remember akaperekedza wepa Zambia, almost did kuSA and Mozambique chero zvakazorambira paduze and now Botswana. I heard the BaTswana booed our beloved Ba 2 when he was introduced kkk. That is why he said we are all SADC chairpersons, haushandi huChair hwacho ndakazviona kuInaguresheni. SADC Chair kujairirwa kudaro. Where was Nero and the rest of the team Presidnet vachiitwa booed. Hee. Look guys, you need to show a united front out there, kana madzoka tozotukana zvedu.
Business of the day, By the way, Nero was the first and best Minister of ICT, I think he is a reasonable man and this studio 263 actor should eat a humble pie and go for some notes. Minister Mavetera should be arrested and investigated if she is not abusing drugs, her home and office should be raided and see if there are no dangerous drugs. I think she smokes and whatever she is smoking should be very strong. How can she want to impose useless regulations? She has no idea what she should be doing in her ministry. Let me tell her, she should make sure that data has fallen before we talk of any other nonsense. She should see that we have strong internet not nonsense dzaari kuda kutiirita. I once told you she has no use, she is just a girlfriend who was rewarded. Ko kana wapiwa chigaro usingzaive why not just focus on other things like making sure lines are not sold vanhu vongopiwa havo mahara than trying to fight a losing battle. She has no depth in the ICT and is becoming an enemy of free expression. Siye kufunga how to promote internet penetration in the rural areas, munhu is busy trying to regulate whatsapp. How will that be enforced? We will open groups with your name Minister. Itai tione. I once told you she is a girlfriend of Vene and she thinks everything evolve around the Vene family. Please minister, quit smoking drugs whilst its still early, if you don’t, you will surely go to rehab.
I heard the Aguma Prophet is coming to Masvingo, please ask him to pass by Mucheke Rank achionawo the people with disability, the visually impaired and some with hearing impairment who resides there. He has to at least heal even only two zvavo so that we feel his power saPapa kuno kuMasvingo. After that, take him to Masvingo General anoporesa the sick there and after that you can then take him to Mucheke stadium and that way, I guarantee him Masvingo’s vote. I know some of you were thinking he is coming for a crusade, no, zvechiporofita is not paying much, vanhu vakaomerwa and are not paying much so Papa vafunga zvekuti vapindeKA pakasiiwa nana Felton kamambo. Vanhu havaneti kudya sure, kuda kuita zvese munhu one here vakomana, he should concentrate on leading the church and supporting football but zvekuzoda kuita President manje. You see this is where we lose it as Zimbabweans, we have too ambitious people who want to venture into areas that aren’t theirs. This is why we have an actor as Minister of ICT. takambozvitaura kuti zvekupanana zvigaro nekugona kusimudza chibhakera izvi will cost us one day. I wonder what type of food does she eat just to wake up and think they can start regulating WhatsApp. These guys don’t think, they just want to tax us until we are all beggars. Pane akatenge aona mukana wemari ipapa and decided to implement something that cannot be implemented. Manje this will not work, simple, regerai vakomana munoremara kkkk. I don’t want to dwell much on her because ndinotozarirwa chaiko. Nxaa, Mavetera is crazy, she should just go back to acting and leave vanogona vaite. Politics of rewarding is killing this economy.
But the war veterans we have in Zimbabwe are a curse, applaud them for liberating Zimbabwe but izvi zvekuti heee we can’t all die pasina one of us in state house ndozvekupenga manje. This is a sinister agenda to push Chiwenga to state house. I am not a supporter of the 2030 ndinenge ndichipo mantra and I belive in power changing hands. I don’t care if Chiwenga or PV takes over from Ba 2, but the conditions should not be simply because he is one of the real war veterans. Remember these guys are the reason why Mugabe wanted to die on the throne and they are now saying he is not one of them. Heya nhai so zvatinosiudzwa zvekuti CDE Trabablas once bombed a locomotive were all lies. Saka chokwadi ndechipi nhaimi, we were once told that Joice Teurai Ropa Mujuru once shot down a chopper but later on we were told kuti inhema ana Runaida were simply there to service the real gunmen and also doing some nasty jobs like the one Zvipange did naTongogara. Dzaiva simbi dzemdara chete hapana zvimwe zvaiita kuya. Apa ndopataida Dr Gire zvavo, she would tell the War Veterans kuti Munopengaaa, Munopenga, you stop it!! Kkkk. iye Gire should tell her successor Mai 2 kuti vasiyane netsika yekupinda mushop vachimisa vanhu kutenga. During Uncle Bob and Tsvangirai’s time we never saw those two statemen inconveniencing people by getting in shops to buy. Zvakazongotanga after November 2017. Nero nedivi BA 2 nedivi. Kuita competition yekupinda mumashop vachitenga vachimisa vanhu panz who are genuine buyers nxaaa. But pathat drama Nero kumberi zvako, remember him riding a bike, akagara pangoro neiya achitenga sadza neBeans kkkk nhamo. Zvino Ba 2 vakazosiira mukadzi ndiye ava busy. Recently she was in town achibva kuzaka for some programme iya yavanenge vachipakurira vana sadza, nhamo kkkk. She then passed through town kuchinaya and her security detail had to park mota yaamai mushopmaOk chaimo. Kunenege kuri kudiiko, ini zvangu. I wanted to attend hangu the school feeding programme dai ndakambotopakurirwawo naDr Amai kkkk. But team Zaka musdsro. I heard Dr Amai vakasvika vakamirira about an hour before the tents were pitched. Was that sabotage? Hanzi the Minister of state cde Chadzamira had to join and help vaipitcher matents kutodonza tambo. A whole minister was forced to pitch a tent. Haa sabotage ndoiziva. Apa GZU did the same recently, HE arrived before matents apedza kuiiswa during the GZU graduation. Imi kana musingachangodi mukuru and his wife Taurai pachena not kuita sabotage yakadai.
Kana maWar veterans muchida umwe wenyu kuState House why can’t you take henyu Mphoko, he is a better candidate and is experienced. He was once a diplomat in Botswana and he will restore ties with the country and its new President, Mboko imboko !!!!
