Unfair aid distribution cases worry ZHRC

Brighton Chiseva

MASVINGO – High numbers of complaint cases regarding unfair distribution of food aid and agricultural inputs are worrying the Zimbabwe Human Rights Commision (ZHRC) since they continue to recur with resources needed for investigations being more than the value of the goods complained over.
This came out at a ZHRC stakeholder meeting on administrative justice mandate held at Flamboyant Hotel recently.
Speaking at the event, ZHRC deputy executive secretary Vengesai Erick Mukutiri said partisan distribution of government resources were giving the commission a headache saying they were spending more resources handling the cases since they are reported everyday
“Partisan and unfair distribution of food aid is giving us headaches, these cases are reported every day and at times we have to be on the ground to do investigations. Oftentimes times we see that the fuel used for the investigations alone has more value than the goods complained over.
“This is the reason why we have traditional leaders here because they are usually involved. We urge you to be fair and non-segregatory. The President is saying leave no one behind but you are busy leaving everyone behind.
“If you are asked to give inputs to farmers just give the farmers, if you don’t then they come to us complaining, we are then forced to initiate investigations but the fuel we use in the investigations is more than the maize seed, which affects us financially, “said Mukutiri.
He also went on to say among other recurring cases were that of traditional leaders who were taking more than the prescribed two years on acting basis before a substantive chief is elected.
In his welcome remarks, the commission chairperson Dr Elasto Hilarious Mugwadi warned traditional leaders against being partisan saying the constitution does not allow them to be active members and to hold any post in politics.
“Traditional leaders are not allowed to be active, members of any political party even holding any position. If one needs to be a chief, he has to relinquish any post. That is what I personally did when I was appointed to the commission, I had my political post in Manicaland but I had to relinquish it a few months after being appointed,” said Dr Mugwadi.
He said the commission said it was in the process of decentralizing and has since decentralized to seven provinces and once they have done with the provinces they will go down to districts to make sure that people have easy access.
He said the commission was yet to get arresting powers and what they simply did was to investigate and give recommendations to relevant authorities like the police or the prosecuting authority.
“We currently do not have arresting powers, we investigate and give recommendations, we work together with the police, the prosecuting authority, and other organs. We also name and shame and this is helpful as individuals and organizations do not want to have a bad record so people rectify their misdeeds. We are however hoping that we will be given the arresting powers,” he said.
The commission took time to explain to stakeholders who were mainly from public institutions, their dual mandate of dealing with human rights issues in the country as well as its public protector role which many didn’t know falls under them.
The Executive Secretary Dr Delis Mazambani said the meeting was meant to explain to stakeholders the commission’s administrative justice role and said ZHRC was responsible for doing an oversight role on service delivery by public institutions.
“The purpose of this meeting is to explain to the public our administrative justice role, we do oversight on service delivery by public institutions and we want them to have an appreciation of our public protector role.
“Were highlighting the manner in which we receive complaints and how we do investigations,” said Dr Mazambani
She went on to say the nature of complaints they receive varies depending on the time saying towards elections there was an influx in politically related human rights violations.
“The nature of complaints we receive vary depending on the time, in the run-up to the 2023 elections there was an influx of politically related human rights violations, political violence, infringement of freedom of assembly among others,” said Dr Mazambani.

Chitando orders councils to improve service delivery

Bright Zhou

Minister of Local Government and Public Works Winston Chitando has urged local authorities to improve service delivery and come up with strategies for implementation to achieve Vision 2030 of making Zimbabwe an upper-middle-income economy.
Chitando was addressing stakeholders at a local government strategic planning workshop held at Clevers Lakeview Hotel on November 23, 2023, where he urged local authorities to provide basic civil amenities to the residents and improve the quality of life for residents through better services, environmental and recreational facilities as well as cultural and social activities.
He said local authorities should work properly on infrastructure development to increase production and productivity across all sectors and to ensure the achievement of set targets and goals for the residents.
“Local authorities should increase infrastructural development and support to residents. They should work on developmental activities as we work towards becoming an upper-middle-income economy by 2030,” said Chitando.
Chitando went on to say he was optimistic that local authorities would expedite the foundational and phenomenal developments being experienced on all fronts.
Speaking at the same event, Association of Rural District Councils of Zimbabwe president Golden Aaron Shamu urged all local authorities to improve the living standards of ratepayers by using the local authority blueprint and use it for developmental programs and revival of councils.
“The launch of the local authorities’ blueprint on service delivery and development towards the attainment of vision 2030 by President Mnangagwa is a timely intervention that should anchor the rise of development to improve the living standards of residents,” said Shamu.
Shamu lamented the existence of land barons, saying land was supposed to be distributed equally to residents and said those responsible for housing were supposed to make sure that residents benefit fairly.
Makoni South Constituency legislator Albert Nyakuedzwa who sits in the parliamentary portfolio committee on Local Government, Public Works, and National Housing said local authorities apart from raising public awareness about the centrally sponsored schemes, local authorities should perform its obligatory functions such as water supply, drainage system, women and child development.

Chamisa Loyalist Threatens Masvingo Councillors

Brighton Chiseva

MASVINGO – The Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) Masvingo City Councillors are under fire from the party and were threatened for failing to attend the ward 2 by-election campaign launch last weekend by the party’s director in the organizing department, Farai Chinobva.
The launch which was held at Gomba shopping center in Runyararo West, to drum up support for recalled former Mayor Shantie Chiwara was attended by some local leaders and only one councilor, Bernad Muchokwa of ward 9.
Speaking at the launch, Chinobva said councillors and the MP who failed to attend belonged to Tshabangu faction (a CCC outfit led by self-proclaimed Secretary General Sengezo Tshabangu):
“Let me tell you this, the election has already been won, so what is left now is for you to go and work. However, there is something that I discovered here; I have seen that there are some who have been threatened with recalls and are now afraid to work for the party.
“We have sellouts who prioritize being a councillor more than working for the party. Chitando (Jeffreyson) called for the launch, and I have looked at the MPs and Councillors from this area; we know who is here and who is not. Failure to come here means you have gone to Tshabangu; that is what it means, it’s clear. You have been intimidated and cowed down, so you can keep your councillor post, but what I want to tell you is that Advocate Nelson Chamisa will get there soon,” said Chinobva.
He went on to declare that the party faction led by Chamisa’s official candidate was Shantiel Chiwara and went on to distance the party from another candidate Roki Kamuzonda, whom he said belonged to the Tshabangu faction.
“My issue here is that I want you to know is that we have an official candidate and Tshabangu’s candidate. Our candidate is Shantiel Chiwara, and Tshabangu’s is Rocky. I don’t know his surname; maybe it’s Rocky Tshabangu.
“What is critical is that the citizens are clever and they won’t go for Tshabangu; the election is not between Shantiel and other candidates but between Chamisa and Mnangagwa. So if you lose this ward, it’s Chamisa who has lost; that is why I have brought the president (Chamisa)’s poster,” said Chinobva.
Contacted for comment by TellZim on his utterances, Chinobva said failure to attend the launch was a personal decision and said some later on sent apologies and gave different reasons.
He said, however, what he meant was that those who want to join Tshabangu faction were free to do so but as it stands they had no problems with any councillor.
“Failure by some councillors to attend the launch was their individual choices; some even sent apologies that they had gone for a funeral, church, and other commitments, so we don’t have any problems with our councillors. However, what I meant that day was that those who want to join Tshabangu were free to do so,” said Chinobva.
Contacted for comment on Chinobva’s statement, the newly elected Masvingo Mayor and ward 4 councillor Alec Tabe said his failure to attend had nothing to do with being aligned to Tshabangu since he had other commitments and said people support in different ways.
“I failed to attend because I had other commitments, and that has nothing to do with Tshabangu. I had gone to represent Councillor Masimba at a funeral in his ward since he is not feeling well. People support in different ways and not necessarily by attending an event so we are in support of her in many ways than just attending a campaign launch,” said Tabe.
Tabe’s deputy and ward 5 Councillor Daniel Mberikinashe had no kind words for Chinobva, saying they support Chiwara more than people who come from Harare. He said he knows the importance of retaining the ward more than outsiders and said failing to attend was not an issue at all.
“We are people from Masvingo; we know how important it is for CCC to win this ward, and we cannot be told about it by other people. Chiwara herself knows how we support her and how we want her to retain that seat. So we cannot be told by someone who is not a politician what to do, especially here in Masvingo.
“I personally had other commitments, and everyone knows that I go to church on Saturday, so sometimes I have to weigh before deciding what to do. In this case, we have been campaigning, and we are still doing that for us to retain that seat, so not attending the launch does not mean we don’t support our party and Chiwara,” said Mberikunashe.
Ward 8 councillor and chief whip Richard Msekiwa said Chinobva had no capacity to classify people and said amongst the local councillors there was none who was aligned to Tshabangu or any other outfit and said people should know that as councillors they had a lot of commitments.
“In whose capacity was he questioning our presence at the launch? He has no right to question us that; people should know that we have a number of responsibilities and commitments, so we cannot be everywhere,” said Musekiwa.

Chamisa to take over in 2024 ?

Beverly Bizeki

Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) director in the organizing department Farai Chinobva sensationally claimed that the party could take over power by end of February in 2024 and urged party members and supporters to brace for celebrations.
Chinobva was speaking at the December 09 by-election campaign launch in ward 2 of Masvingo Municipality where the councilor who was also Masvingo City Mayor Shantiel Chiwara was recalled by CCC self-imposed Secretary General Sengezo Tshabangu who is controlling a faction of the party.
Chinobva said all the hullabaloo caused by the recalls will be a thing of the past and when time comes, people should be ready for celebrations.
“I once said this while in Chirumhanzu that February next year something big is coming, celebrate and make sure that you are going to celebrate big. This thing about recalls is nonsense, it is nothing, these are just sideshows to divert you from the issue of legitimacy and focus on the recalling of your candidates but this was foresaid by Chamisa (Nelson) that vamwe vacharamba kuti baba vangu handivazivi kana zvaipa (some will deny knowing their father when things turn sour) before we got to the elections.
“Now that things are bad they are saying we do not know the father, they want their own power take these words, but we are getting there soon, whoever doubts this should ask me on February 28,” said Chinobva
When contacted by TellZim News for clarification of what he meant, Chinobva said he was referring to Tshabangu’s catastrophe which he said would come to an end by February with recalled candidates having reclaimed their seats.
“What I meant is that by February 2024 all these recalls currently ongoing will be happening in the country will stop and the rightful candidates will take their seats and will be working for the people,” said Chinobva.
Chinobva said the courts were supposed to have done justice by that time and all the candidates should have been reinstated.
“The courts are going to do justice on the case of the recalled leaders and these people must be reinstated. About the recalled mayors and council chairpersons, the national assembly will have to decide whether they be taken back to their old positions or not. God is in it and this Tshabangu debacle will come to an end,” said Chinobva.
Ward 2 has three candidates from CCC who filed at the nomination court for the December 9 by election with Chiwara and former councilor Roki Kamuzonda having filed under CCC whilst one, Frank Chirairo filed as Independent and the fourth in the race is Zanu PF’s Benson Hwata.

Buhera residents search for mobile network connectivity in fowl runs, toilets

Buhera residents search for mobile network connectivity in fowl runs, toilets

Admire Chatindo

Efforts to stay connected to the digital world remains a huge task for residents in Masasa area in Buhera who are forced to search for network connectivity in blair toilets and fowl runs due to mobile network challenges in the area.
Buhera Residents Network Trust coordinator Leonard Mabasa said Masasa Business Centre was a growing business place but had no network such that residents are forced to go to a toilet at one Medzai’s place where they are forced to endure the stench from the blair toilet as well as besides a fowl run and at a beerhall window to connect to Econet network.
“Making calls or sending text messages is hectic. The only tactic is to position yourself strategically because where do you get a strong network at Masasa? You go to a toilet at Medzai’s place and ignore the stench from the toilet or at one beer hall window to connect mobile network,” Mabasa said.
Funny enough, Mabasa said there was another place that was mainly used for Ecocash transactions near a football pitch or at a borehole that is near the business center while others go to a Baobab tree where there is a bus station.
“If one wants to make Ecocash transactions they usually have to go to the football pitch or near the borehole while some go to the bus stop and,” said Mabasa.
He said the network situation was so bad that it was affecting health clinic operations at Masasa Rural Health Centre as calls for emergencies cannot be done without hospital staff having to go out of the hospital to get a network connection.
“The network challenge is also affecting the health system referral path. For health staff members to make emergency calls for ambulance services they have to walk out of the clinic to access network.
“Mobile phone users in the morning and late in the evening are seen at Medzai’s fowl run to catch up on conversations for the day, check WhatsApp updates and to make phone calls at least twice in a day,” he said.
Mabasa also lamented that while social media takes over the rest of the world, residents in Masasa have resorted to using small phones called ‘kambudzi’ since they pick network better compared to smart phones.
“Online opportunities like Zoom meetings and Twitter spaces are hard to connect. Downloading 2.5 megabytes of content takes a lot of time and most people now prefer small phones to smartphones and we call upon responsible authorities to hear our plea and address the problem,” said Mabasa.

Gutu man jailed for attempting to murder brother’s widow

Admire Chatindo

A 50-year-old Gutu man has been sentenced to six years in prison by Masvingo magistrate Bishard Chineka after being found guilty of attempted murder.
He assaulted his late brother’s wife after she allegedly rejected his marriage proposal to inherit her, following tradition (Kugara nhaka).
According to the state case presented by prosecutor Innocent Mudzingwa, on January 25, 2021, Edson Manyuchi, who had allegedly earlier proposed love to Edinah Tinago, his late brother’s widow, approached Bevi Chimene, the mother of Ednah Tinago, informing her that Tinago was having extramarital affairs at his late brother’s homestead.
Chimene then informed her daughter about Edson’s complaints regarding her extramarital affairs and urged her to refrain from such behaviour.
On the same day around 9:30 a.m., Tinago confronted Edson in his dining room, asking him to stop gossiping and tarnishing her name with rumours of extramarital affairs. Edson, appearing from behind Tinago, grabbed her by the neck with both hands, dragging her and striking her several times with a knobkerrie on her head.
Tinago screamed, attracting the attention of Edith Manyuchi and Marshal Mashava, who arrived at the scene to find Edson standing near the unconscious Tinago. Edson was armed with a knobkerrie and an axe, shouting and threatening to kill Tinago.
Mashava, who is the son-in-law of Manyuchi, managed to disarm his father-in-law by forcibly taking the axe and knobkerrie from him.
Unconscious, Tinago was transported to Cheshuro Clinic and later referred to Masvingo General Hospital, where a medical report was compiled.
Giving testimony in court, Tinago alleged that Edison had once proposed to inherit her as per tradition, which she turned down, the reason was why he attacked her so viciously after failed attempts to soil her name accusing her of extramarital affairs.

Zanu PF councilors clash over funeral speech

Staff reporter

ZAKA – Two Zanu PF councilors from ward 9 in Zaka District recently clashed over a funeral speech in which the sitting councilor Livison Paradza felt threatened by fellow councilor Beauty Musunda who got in council through women’s quota after she gave a speech as councilor at a funeral.
Zanu PF provincial chairperson Robson Mavhenyengwa who is also Zaka senator confirmed the development and said he had received the matter and it was being handled.
“I am aware of the incident and we are handling the matter. We just encourage our members to work in harmony,” said Mavenyengwa.
He said when faced with a similar situation, the proportional representative is not the owner of the ward so she should engage the ward councilor first before addressing people on his or her behalf. He also said in cases where she has to represent the councilors, she has to acknowledge to the people that she is representing the councilor.
“If the proportional representative wants to address people in any ward she has to notify the ward councilor who will mobilize people for her.
“If there is an event and the sitting councilor is not there, she then has to notify the ward councilor and in her address she has to tell the people that she is representing the ward councilor,” said Mavhenyengwa
In a 11 minute audio leaked to TellZim News, an irate Paradza is heard threatening Masunda with demotion saying she had no right to stand in for him as councilor without his permission and said he would escalate the ,matter to the top leadership so that she gets recalled.
“I want to call Brian (Brian Munyoro the Zanu PF provincial commissar), you were there at the meeting, you were told, and we used our resources for you to be councilors so if you continue doing what you are doing I won’t tolerate that.
“You cannot go and address a gathering without my knowledge, why didn’t you call me? You are women’s quota, so you address women,” said Paradza
She tried to explain saying she spoke based on what was said by the MP Davies Marapira but Paradza interjected saying Marapira was nothing and had no power to tell them what to do.
“Marapira has no power, who is he, we campaigned using our own resources and if you dare I can apply to the party and tell them you are now growing big. I am the councilor, I have a stamp and who are you, you are just a quota. If you go to any gathering and want to talk you have to tell the people that you are representing me.
“In fact, tomorrow, I want to apply and from today you are my enemy. You can’t have power like me. For you to be a councilor it’s my resources, the party didn’t give me any resources. You were given ward 9, 13, 14, and 15, so does that mean you now have power over all those wards?
“You are not a councilor, I didn’t reply to Marapira because he was saying nothing, go and tell him that I have said that,” fumed Paradza
Paradza is a teacher at a local school and is one of those whose salaries were ceased after they contested on Zanu PF ticket.
Paradza went on to say Masunda only became councilor because she had 5 O levels but has never campaigned for Zanu PF and only got in out of pity because she was not voted for.
“I am not a fool. I’m more clever than you think. You came to the party with your 5 O‘Levels and we understood you. No one even voted for you, your name was not even on the ballot. I made you who you are now. Have you ever campaigned for Zanu PF all your life? Respect those who respect you. I will humiliate you in front of everyone,” said Paradza.
He said Masunda should record the audio and give it to Marapira. He went on to say that Masunda was now his enemy and that she should not greet him if they met.
“Go ahead and record what I am saying. Make sure you give it to Marapira. From today onwards we are now enemies. If we meet don’t greet me,” he said.
Efforts to explain herself as Paradza took none of it and declared her his worst enemy until she told him to do whatever she felt was right.
“I never thought you would be angry, I was just doing what we were told to do by Marapira, however, you are free to do whatever you want,” said Masunda.

ZEC owes thousands USDs to election workers

…. Over 360 transporters in Masvingo yet to be paid
… Zec capacity to run by-elections questioned

Brighton Chiseva

MASVINGO – While the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) is seized with preparations for a series of by-elections across the country, its capacity to fund the elections is going to be put to test since the European Union (EU) withdrew funding to the elections management body (EMB) over its failure to hold credible elections, coupled with the existing bill yet to be settled with August 2023 election workers.
In September EU said it had withdrawn its three-year financial support to ZEC worth US$5 million, over concerns regarding the running and management of the August 23 harmonized elections in the country, putting more pressure on the EMB which still owes thousands of US$ to drivers and polling officers for the August harmonized elections.
ZEC is reportedly struggling to pay election workers who rendered different services during the August 23 harmonized elections with more than 360 transporters from Masvingo province only, said to have not been paid their dues
Though the actual amount of cash the EMB owes to the transporters is not yet ascertained, sources said there are more than 360 transporters from Masvingo alone who rendered services for different number of days and the amount could be close to half a million United States Dollars.
Contacted for comment, ZEC Chief Elections Officer Utoile Silaigwana asked the reporter to send queries to Zec director via email.
“Can you please send you queries to the director via email?” said Silaigwana
ZEC Provincial Elections Officer Zex Pudurai initially said all transporters were paid but later on acknowledged that there were some outstanding payments but said they were being processed and by end of week they would have been cleared.
“I have been told by our directors that there are some outstanding payments but they are being processed as we speak and by end of this week I am sure they would have cleared,” said Pudurai.
Transporters who spoke to TellZim News said they were promised to be paid within two weeks after the election but up to now nothing has materialized.
“We were told that we will get our dues after two weeks but up to now we haven’t been paid and our fear is that they are going to pay us at the prevailing rate of that time which has since changed because they promised to pay us in local currency,” said one transporter.
Another said they had spent more than their dues in fuel to and from ZEC offices to the Central Mechanical Equipment Department (CMED) every day.
“I have already spend more than what I am owed in fuel; you drive to ZEC they tell you to go to CMED, you drive there, they tell you that they haven’t received anything and at times the way they talk to us shows that there is no any hope of getting anything soon,” said another transporter.
Another said they were shocked to learn that ZEC was engaging other transporters for the same duties for by-elections when they haven’t paid those who rendered services in August.
“We were shocked to learn that they are now engaging transporters for the by-elections when they haven’t paid us, it means they are biting more than they can chew,” said the source.
Transporters claim they were promised USD$200 per day payable in RTGS and some transporters have up to 20 days.
ZEC engaged private transporters to transport election material, from tents, personnel, ballot boxes and food among other things.

I recently came across an article that said according to research African youths now prefer military rule as opposed to democratic processes like elections because those processes are not delivering democracy yacho. Ehe, varikutoona kuti hazvisi kushanda vechidiki, ndosaka muchiona vachizokissa majombo emasoja during coups. We can’t even begin to talk about voter apathy because people get tired of doing the same thing without any positive results.

Man burns ex-wife, daughter to death for denying him sex

Admire Chatindo

In a case that has left the Chipinge community tongue-tied, a man from that community reportedly set a house ablaze, leading to the burning to death of his daughter and ex-wife whom he had been allegedly hounding for sex, a court heard.
The man has already appeared at Chipinge Magistrate’s Court, accused of one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder. He allegedly set fire to a house where his ex-wife, her daughter, and his brother were sleeping. The incident occurred after she purportedly refused to engage in sexual activity with him.
The magistrate, Catherine Dzivanyika, deferred the matter to a later date for the continuation of the trial, pending forensic investigations scheduled to be completed on November 27, 2023.
As outlined by the state prosecutor, Pamela Mufudza, on November 15, the accused, Bright Majecha, visited the residence of the now deceased Paidamoyo Madondo at 4748 Gaza E Chipinge around 0200 hours. He demanded sex, but his request was denied.
On November 17, he returned and insisted on seeing his daughter, Tawananyasha Majecha. However, Madondo refused to open the door, citing the late hour. Approximately two hours later, Madondo noticed a flame of fire under the table while she was sleeping on a reed mat. She detected the smell of petrol, suspecting that the accused used it to ignite the fire. In an attempt to escape, Madondo, her daughter Tawananyasha, and her brother Blessing Madondo, who was also sleeping in the same house, failed.
Paidamoyo later managed to open the door, but due to the slippery floor, she fell. She and her daughter were burned on their entire bodies, while her brother Blessing escaped through the asbestos roof. Paidamoyo screamed for help, and a neighbor came to her aid. Unfortunately, her daughter had already died. Paidamoyo was rushed to the hospital, where she later succumbed to the burns.
The police linked the accused to the crime, as witnesses had seen him approaching the complainant’s home around 2100 hours. Additionally, he had visited the accused person’s residence, demanding sex, which was refused. On the 16th, he again went to see his daughter, being told to return during the day. On the fateful day, he threatened the victims, and a few hours later, the house was set ablaze.
Bail was opposed, as the state argued that he might interfere with state witnesses, who are his friends and neighbors, and posed a flight risk due to the nature of his crime.
