Y-Secure empowers Mutare women through knitting dialogue

By Heather Buzuzi

Youth Sustainable Economic Contribution through Up-skilling, Retraining, and Engagement (Y-SECURE project) conducted a groundbreaking knitting dialogue initiative aimed at transforming the lives of women in Mutasa, Ndorikanda Ward 16, providing economic empowerment and social connection through engagement.
The Knitting Dialogue Initiative empowers young women through a safe space for community engagement, enhancing awareness on civic participation, decision making and stakeholder support, and articulating their demands
Y-Secure field officer Nadine Fortunate Black said the Knitting Dialogue Initiative was a project aimed at empowering young women with its primary objective being providing a safe space for engagement with local leaders, enhancing awareness on civic participation and decision-making, securing stakeholder support, and drafting a list of women’s demands in Mutasa District.
“Knitting plays a pivotal role in facilitating dialogue and community building among participants. By engaging in this shared activity, participants relax, build rapport, and foster camaraderie.
“The non-confrontational atmosphere encourages open discussions on sensitive topics, while the tactile nature of knitting promotes active listening and focus. Additionally, learning a new skill empowers participants, boosts confidence, and strengthens social bonds through shared storytelling. The therapeutic benefits of knitting also create a conducive environment for meaningful dialogue, reducing stress and promoting constructive engagement,” Black said.
He said the dialogue created a unique space for young women to discuss freely challenges, share experiences and proffer solutions.
“Through this innovative approach, the Knitting Dialogue Initiative creates a unique space for young women to share experiences, address challenges, and drive positive change in their communities. By leveraging knitting as a facilitation tool, participants also become active agents of transformation, fostering a culture of inclusivity, empathy, and collective Growth,” said Black.
One of the participants, Nelita Chipfuwamiti said the programme was informative as they learnt several ways to generate money.
“The knitting dialogue group has been a game-changer for me. I’ve learned valuable skills, and now we expect to generate a steady income as soon as we start our project,” said Chipfuwamiti.
Another participant and entrepreneur Scharlene Sighudu said after attending the dialogue, she is now confident to start her own business to become financially independent.
“This initiative has given me the confidence to start my own business. I’m proud to be financially independent and contributing to my family’s well-being,” said Sighudu.

Zanu PF leader in fuel tender scam

…Zaka RDC operations grounded as thousands of litres of fuel were never delivered

By Brighton Chiseva

ZAKA – A Zanu PF Zaka District Coordinating Committee (DCC) member is at the centre of a storm after failing to deliver 9000 litres of fuel already paid for to Zaka Rural District Council (RDC) in a three year period.
Sources within the local authority said Confidence Mukau who is Zaka Zanu PF District Coordinating Committee (DCC) Secretary for Women Affairs unscrupulously got a tender to supply fuel to the local authority in 2021 whilst she was renting a local service station but later on closed down but had not delivered over 9 000litres of fuel already paid for by the local authority.
It is alleged Mukau and some of her business associates were running fuel station in Jerera and were paid to supply 20000 litres of fuel to Zaka RDC but delivered only 11 000 before closing down without delivering the remaining 9000 litres.
Efforts to get a comment from Mukau were futile as her cellphone went unanswered several times and repeated efforts yielded nothing as the number kept on indicating that it was either engaged or even blocked.
Concerted efforts to use another cellphone number also failed to yield results as she answered the first call and remained silent, later on failing to answer several calls made to her.
On his part, Zaka RDC Chief Executive Officer (CEO) David Majaura, as has been the norm could neither confirm nor deny saying he was not sure and needed to verify first.
“Not sure of figures. I need to verify the issue. Be patient,” said Majaura.
A source in council said Mukau was running a fuel company called MITMIC and were about 9600L and they wrote several letters and held meetings where promises were made to no avail.
“We wrote letters and had several verbal communication from the Procurement and Administration departments. We also held meetings, and promises were made, but were not fully implemented,” said the source
Other sources however alleged that at its inception, the current crop of councilors led by Fungai Maregedze accused council of failing to run operations of which management told them they were being affected by poor revenue inflow.
Management then compiled a list on which Mukau was at the top, and allegations of her being in the same Zanu PF faction with Maregedze’s husband Clemence Chiduwa who is the DDC Chairperson, the council chair did not act.
“Last year the new council accused us of failing to run council and they were told that the local authority had no revenue and was owed large amounts of money by individuals and other debtors,” the source said.
Contacted for comment, Maregedze who is out on bail after being arrested by ZACC recently on abuse of office charges, refuted the allegations saying it was not the duty of councilors or the council chair to follow up on debts.
“I am not aware of any list, it’s not the council chairs duty to do follow up on debts so there is no way I would have blocked the follow up,” said Maregedze.
Asked if she was aware of the 9 000 fuel scandal Maregedze said she only saw it in the press and said the matter was supposed to be taken to the courts which she said are not biased.
“I saw the issue in the press but it was all lies, it’s just character assassination and they should simply take the matter to court, at least there are magistrates who try people not trying people in newspapers,” said Maregedze.
Sources said Mukau and Maregedze are so close to the extent that the former tried to mobilise Zanu PF youth in the district and other faction members to demonstrate against the latter’s arrest accusing management of causing her arrest.
Zaka district is one of the least developed, with ruling party factional wars hindering development at the expense of the local authority as Zanu PF bigwigs fight for control of the district.
The district factions within the ruling party are said to be divided between Zaka Central legislator Davies Marapira who is also Deputy Minister of Agriculture and his Zaka South counterpart Chiduwa who chairs the DDC.

USAID hands over Takunda Community garden to Chivi community

By Perpetua Murungweni

The United State Agency for International Development (USAID) officially handed over Takunda community assets to the Rumbweruchena community in Tagwirei Village Ward 11, Chivi district Masvingo province in a significant step towards sustainable development,.
Speaking during the handover ceremony, US Ambassador to Zimbabwe Pamela Tremont said the project was meant to enhance food security in Masvingo and Manicaland provinces.
“Takunda’s goal is to enhance the food and nutrition security of more than 321,000 Zimbabweans in the districts of Masvingo and Manicaland provinces. Takunda means ‘we have overcome’ so it is fitting that the project empowers women and youth fostering livelihoods and building resilience among all community members,” said Tremont.


She also said the project promotes gender equality local governance and accountability in the community.
“The project emphasizes the importance of good nutrition for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers and children. Additionally Takunda promotes gender equality, local governance and accountability. This project seeks to help Zimbabwe become a self-sufficient country and through this project the Rumbweruchena community developed a joint vision for its future. The community has defined their needs and worked with USAID to make their vision a reality,” said Tremont.
Care Zimbabwe country director Patrick Sikana said as USAID agency, their work was to support vulnerable people and empowering women and girls through implementing developmental projects.
“We particularly focus on empowering women and girls increasing food security resilience and responding to emergences as they strike. Over the years we have implemented a number of projects and today we commemorate the Takunda Project that is funded by the USAID. Takunda is one intervention in Masvingo and Manicaland provinces where our work is supporting vulnerable people especially those prone to drought and harsh weather conditions,” Sikana said.
Permanent Secretary in the office of Minister of State for Provincial Affairs Dr Addmore Pazvakavambwa thanked both CARE and USAID for the support and acknowledged the good work that was carried by women in the community.
“Thank you for your support CARE, Takunda USAID not only for the people of Chivi and Zaka but for the generality of Masvingo province because what is realized here does not only benefit this community but they will sell their produce to other communities outside the boarders of Ward 11.
“With women we will never go wrong, they will take all it cost to fend for their families. In terms of food security through these projects we are moving in the right direction. Through implementing UN SDGs we also talk about no to poverty, the project has taught the community some life skills that they will use to generate income for the community. We have noted how their money is growing, they now have hundreds of dollars from zero and soon it will be thousands. This is the correct recipe as we journey towards vision 2030,” said Dr Pazvakavambwa.
The Garden Committee Chairperson Patience Mukuze expressed her gratitude towards Care and said through the Takunda Project their livelihoods had changed.
“I want acknowledge the project and thank CARE for changing our lives, before the project we faced a lot of challenges due to lack of water but now the USAID drilled boreholes for us and we are now able to do agricultural activities and have water to drink for us and for our cattle. Through this project we have learnt a lot we were taught about gender based violence and how to prevent it in our community.
“We were also taught money saving initiatives known as Fushai and it helps us save all of the profits that we get from the garden and then share the money amongst the members every year end. The project has changed our livelihoods since we started the garden in January this year and from June to August we have managed to make around US $1 092.00,” said Mukuze.
Takunda Project is a USAID funded Resilience Food Security Activity (RFSA) targeting 301,636 vulnerable and food insecure women, men, and youth from extremely poor and chronically vulnerable households and households with adolescents, children, and women at risk of chronic and acute malnutrition
The Rumbweruchena garden under Takunda Project comprises of 52 participants, who are pursuing diverse nutritious food crops that include covo, cabbage, rape, carrots, tomatoes, onions, and citrus fruit trees. Group members are also participating in other interventions that include Care Groups, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, Village Savings and Loans Associations (Fushai), Farmer Field and Business School and Gender Initiatives.

Dexter Nduna should apologize to the nation

Ladies and Gentlemen, I hope I find you well this week which had perfect weather, it was not too hot nor too cold, you know how those two conditions affect us Zanu PF anointed destitutes. Yes, I am in this kind of situation where you see kuti kupenga kuri nani than being sane because of Zanu PF and Mugabe followed by Ba 2. Zanu PF is the author and library which keeps records of our troubles since 1980 when independence was given to us by the whites who had other business to do than fighting the war. I know the war vets, ana Mujibha nana Chimbwido will dispute this but I tell you, we fought for independence yes but it was later given to us before we defeated the enemy. That is why you see the negotiations to stop the war and map a way forward were done at Lancaster House in Britain. Where have you see ever seen the loser or villain in any war dictating the place and time for negotiations? I heard they tried to resist but they were told to go for the negotiations but vana Moza and Zambia vakati hey bayai vakomana or we stop giving you operating bases kkk. I am not a history teacher but I just wanted you to see that the claims by Zanu PF to have liberated us are exaggerated to justify their stay in power chero vachiporonga zvavo. They were called to England, booked in hotels then called went for negotiations where they were duped into believing that Britain and America will compensate the white farmers. I hate people who say kare kwaiva nani but at times I am tempted to say so because eish kwaitova nani zveshuwa because we were certain of the future, not future, at least the following day or week manje now no one knows where we are heading. Kana kuti tikuendepi neZiG hapana anoziva. No one knows tomorrow, tozongoonawo tamuka kuti vakomana vakatirongera zvipi, people are now afraid even to sell wares in ZiG manheru because rate rogona kungomuka rachinja, nxaaa. Ndikafunga ZiG ndinonzwa shungu hey, I think Mushayamazano should just resign immediately, his project has failed before a year and that’s a clear sign of failure.
Rumour reaching me here at Chitima market formerly known as Dr Gire Trading Centre is that former soldier and former mistakenly and ZEC appointed Chegutu legislator Dexter Nduna apologized to Ba 2 for forcing himself on University of Zimbabwe graduation ceremony despite him failing some modules and not being part of the graduating class. I was shocked, baffled and stunned; where did he get the nerves to apologise to one man out of around 16 million Zimbabweans? He wronged Zimbabwe not Ba 2. He is putting the whole of Zimbabwean tertiary education system in disrepute. Now the whole world thinks UZ is dishing out degrees to people worse after the Dr Amai scandal yegore riye. Now it’s difficult for Zimbabweans in diaspora to get employment outside Zimbabwe using the degrees from local universities. Which company would take us serious with this caliber of doing things? Iro degree racho anombonyatsoridii chaizvo, I tried to find an answer kubva paitika nyaya iyi but have failed zvachose. This exposes how selfish Zimbabwean politicians are. They want to be everywhere, izvezvi pane dhiri rakarongwa and he wants to start a law firm that will get money from subscriptions and doing nothing. He will never stand in court just like the President. Yes I mean Ba 2. We heard he is a lawyer and studied at the University of Zambia but handina kumbonzwa kana one case yaakaita, sorry, I mean yavakaita kkk. Maybe he has plans to join the other side because wese angoita lawyer wants to join opposition politics. So Nduna wore the apolojezy to please Ba 2 achitya kubviswa pahuchair hwe national mobilization resource mobilization kkk. Haa kuZanu sooka, kungotsvakirana zvimabasa zvekuita chete but contributing nothing to the national cake. So on a serious note, if Nduna is sincere about his apology he has to write another one or appear at Dead BC and apologise to the nation for his madness. Haanyare muchinda uya. He wanted to take over City Parking with his company Team Chapter kkk. Kana kumbonyarawo how he disgraced himself nekuda kungonzi graduate. But I wonder vamwe vakadzi vanoita basa rei if not advising their husbands against such miscalculated decisions. Kungoda kunzi lawyer chete, haa ini ndazviitadza ini.
Speaking of lawyers in the opposition, where is Job Sikhala? He has been quiet of late just like his fellow advocate and Pastor Nelson Chamisa. Zvinondibowa ndikapedza kunyora and not mention the country’s only hope. Yeah I mean Mukomana, he is the only hope Zimbabwe has but the hope is fading away gradually as he disappears from the political arena zvishoma nezvishoma so. I heard even the way he used to post bible verses on X is different from what he used to do and I would want to believe he is strategizing and putting structures in place before he launches a surprise and if he doesn’t do that, then 2030 vanenge vachipo. We can even say good bye to elections and I will even support forgoing them if Nero’s face is not on the ballot, he represents the only and narrow chance this country would ever have after Morgan Richard Tsvangirai’s death, maybe vamwe havo have somewhere to pin their hopes fanika the likes of Linda Masarira kana Togarasei Mwonzora.
Before I go hangu kunokanga maputi angu for lunch, I want to encourage my fellow countrymen to pray for the return of the US$4 million lost during the Bulawayo Ecobank heist. By the way, we were never told kuti whose money was in there but anyway, hazvina hazvo basa, what is important is that our police officers reported the matter to Interpol and in most cases ndopazvinoperera. I know many of you like me thought vanodai vabatwa kudara but alas. I hope the money will not disappear without trace like Itai Dzamara. What I want to advise my friends from the City of Kings and Queens is musafarisa these days because you know how our police operates. If you were not eating chicken mazuva ese aya even if you get money musatombotenga. Even eating kudya more than four slices of bread pamunhu at home imbomirai, kkkk. Here at Chitima I have even reduced my portions of maputi ndingazonzi ndini ndakaluma 4mita kkk. Anyway pane akambonzwawo here nezvaDr Gire. She is also too quiet and she was supposed to come out now that she has a fellow scammer in the name of Nduna.

Septic tank thieves raid Masvingo City

By Virginia Njovo

A bizarre string of thefts has hit Runyararo West and Rujeko suburbs with thieves targeting an unlikely prize: septic tank covers, leaving residents to deal with costly replacements and potential health hazards
Thieves allegedly sell the stolen lids to iron smelters who manufacturing three legged pots and other iron materials leaving several open pits that pose serious risks to children and pets in the residential areas.
Masvingo Provincial Spokesperson Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa urged members of the public to report such cases to the police since some of the cases were not reported.
“Some of these cases are not reported, I urge Masvingo residents to report such cases to the police,” said Inspector Dhewa.
Residents who spoke to this publication said the open pits release foul smells and were posing a risk to young children and pets.
One victim Memory Kanyume from Samson Kanyemba Street in Runyararo West said one morning five households woke to find septic lids gone at their house.
“On September 26, I woke up to bad odour in our residence only to realize that my septic tank lid was missing. Afterwards I realised that four of my neighbours had theirs missing too. We could not trace the thieves and reported the matter to the police at KMP Police Base.
Kanyume said they had resorted to using metal sheets as an alternative for the lids and called upon responsible authorities to improve security in neighbourhoods.
“We are currently using metal sheets as lids since we cannot leave these pits open. We are appealing to local authorities to put up street lights as a security measure. We further appeal to the police to increase patrols because the thieves may end up robbing people,” she said.
In Timothy Mapfudze Street, Runyararo West suburb a number of households lost their lids too with three lids having been stolen on the night of October 1. One of the victims Ratidzo Antonio said the rate at which the lids were getting stolen was alarming.
“The rate at which septic tank lids are going missing is alarming we appeal for to the police to investigate and arrest the thieves,” said Antonio.
Sources said the lids cost around US$400 and were at Mucheke Rank for US$20 or even less where they are later used to manufacture three legged pots and other iron materials like hoes and axes.
Another source said recently, a whole street was raided in Rujeko C with residents waking up to open manholes but the matter was not reported.

Government shifts goalposts on Chilonga Lucerne Project

By Beatific Gumbwanda

CHIREDZI – Over 1 000 families who were set to be evicted from Chilonga Communal lands to pave way for the Kwekwe based company, Dendairy’s multi-million dollar lucerne project on their 13 000 hectares of land will nolonger be evicted but reorganized and incorporated into the new scheme, it has been learnt.
The matter came out in parliament recently after Chiredzi Central Member of Parliament, Ropafadzo Makumire asked the minister of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development, Dr Anxious Masuka on the measures being taken by the government to support the victims with alternative.
In his response, Dr Masuka highlighted that the government had come up with a new model of reorganization rather than relocation in order to accommodate the communities in the existing model.
“The proposed farm development plan shows that instead of relocation, there will be reorganization. The existing homestead will be incorporated in the new scheme and the current Chilonga Irrigation will be expanded to cater for some of the villagers whose fields are going to be affected by the Lucerne project,” said Masuka.
Dr Masuka said that a new irrigation block will be developed along the river to cater for the affected villagers.
“A new irrigation block is going to be developed along Runde River on the eastern side of the project. This again will be for the villagers affected by the lucerne project. The villagers will be free to grow crops of their choice or to grow lucerne as out-growers. In short, there are plans for coexistence and not relocation of the Chilonga community,” said Masuka.
Government enacted the Statutory Instrument 50 of 2021 (Communal Land Setting aside of land (Chiredzi, notice 2021,) where the Minister of Local Government, July Moyo said villagers occupying the land should start packing their belongings in order to pave way for the grass project.
“Any person occupying or using the land specified in the schedule, otherwise than by virtue of a right held in terms of the Mines and Minerals Act (Chapter 21, 05), is ordered to depart permanently with all of his or her property from the said land by the date of publication of this notice, unless he or she acquires rights in terms of section (9) (1) of the Communal Land Act (Chapter (20, 04),” reads the notice.
In Statutory Instrument 51 of 2021 under the Communal Land (Excision of Land) (Notice 2021), President Mnangagwa ruled that the 13k ha had ceased from being part of Chiredzi Communal Lands.
“His Excellence, in terms of section 61 (1) (b) of the communal Land Act (Chapter 20:04), hereby makes the following notice:-This notice might be cited as the communal land (Excision Land) Notice, 2021.
“The area of land described hereunder in terms of the schedule shall cease to be part of the Chiredzi Communal Land,” reads the notice.
Dendairy, a private milk producer, is the major investor of the project targeting around 10 000 hectares of arable land for the lucerne production project meant for local and international markets.
The company was allocated some 12 940 hectares in the Sengwe communal lands for its multi-million dollar lucerne project, which was met with hostilities by villagers whose land was to be occupied and families displaced to pave way for the project.
Chingwizi Villagers who were relocated from Tugwi-Mukosi, paving way for the expansion of the dam after it had flooded in February 2014 are yet to get proper land houses, ten years after the disaster, a fear which had grappled Chilonga villagers.

GZU student dies in Mashava explosion

By Virginia Njovo

The Nyambi family’s joyous anticipation of celebrating their child’s graduation turned to unbearable grief when tragedy struck, claiming the life of their beloved child and family member Gladmore Nyambi just one month shy of the milestone.
The 23- year- old Mashava woman was supposed to be capped on November 1 when Great Zimbabwe University will hold its graduation but died from injuries sustained during a dynamite explosion while she was burning rubbish in the yard.
The incident occurred at Mashava King Mine compound on September 28 when she was burning litter in a sanitary pit within their yard.
Masvingo Provincial Police Spokesperson Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa confirmed the incident that happened in Section 18, Kingmine Mashava.
“I confirm the death of Gladmore Nyambi of Kingmine who was announced dead on admission at Parirenyatwa Hospital after sustaining burns and deep cuts from an explosion. Police attended the scene and found a one meter hole which seem to be the point of explosion and investigations are underway,” said Dhewa.
Circumstances are that on September 28, Nyambi, who is alleged to have been a domestic worker at the mentioned address, was burning the rubbish as usual inside the compound. There was big blast explosion and she got burnt and sustained deep cuts on head.
Makaita Chirongoma (46) of the same section saw an unusual light while Nyambi was burning the trash before the blast but could not alert Nyambi since it was already too late.
Nyambi was taken to Masvingo Provincial Hospital for treatment on the same day and was later transferred to Parirenyatwa Hospital where she was announced dead upon arrival.
Sources said it was suspected that she could have burnt the explosives without knowledge and their availability in the compound could not be questioned since it’s a mining area and has a lot of artisanal miners, (Makorokoza)
Nyambi was a Great Zimbabwe University Banking and Finance student.
