Mutodi fires live bullet at CCC supporters

…as Zanu PF, CCC clash in Bikita

Brighton Chiseva

BIKITA – As political tempers continue to rise, Zanu PF aspiring candidate for Bikita South Energy Mutodi fired gunshots at Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) members who were waiting for thier leader to address them at Baradzanwa shopping Centre on Thursday July 06.
Masvingo Police could not comment on the matter and referred all questions to the national spokesperson who was not answering his cell.
Bikita South CCC aspiring candidate Barney Nyika confirmed the incident and said Mutodi and his men had occupied their rally venue and when CCC supporters confronted him that’s when he fired some shots but they stood their ground and maintained their ground.
“He occupied the venue for our rallies before our arrival. When our supporters started to trickle in, they tried to inquire from him what he was doing at their venue. He became violent and fired twice or thrice at our supporters who stood their ground and maintained their presence at the venue,” said Nyika
However, Mutodi gave a different account of the incident to TellZim News saying his security aide is the one who fired a single shot to disperse CCC members who were charging and had cornered him and his people.
“It’s true, my security aide fired a single warning shot in the air to disperse CCC members who had cornered us and were stoning our vehicles and when the shot was fired that when we managed to escape,” said Mutodi
He went on to say Barney Nyika also came and reprimanded his supporters for causing violence saying as Bikita South they were a peaceful but it was CCC members who attacked them first.
“There were three rallies in the Bikita South, CCC had theirs in ward 7 and we had two, in ward 8A and B. one of my teams who were going to ward 8A were attacked and had to wait for me. When I arrived they started throwing stones at us and we were cornered, my security aide had to fire the shot.
He went on to say they were peaceful as Bikita South as evidenced by the fact that their rally went on unlike in other areas like Chiredzi where they failed.
“We are a peace loving people as Bikita South, we could have retaliated and their rally could not have happened but we just left and reported the matter to the police who came to attend the scene later,” said Mutodi.
Chamisa failed to address in Chiredzi after police denied them permission saying they had no manpower since there was a state event in the area.
In Zaka the address was cut shot by police who said the time that was on the police permission granting order had lapsed.

ZANU PF, CCC two sides of the same coin

Whoever said Zimbabweans are the most educated people in Africa should be imprisoned and the keys thrown away, that was a big fat lie chete. Oh chete it’s not about being educated but literacy. How can educated people be duped year after year with these Ponzi schemes. How on earth will people who are literate be scammed so easily? Let me tell you from today onwards my readers, hakuna chemahara. When we grew up kwedu kwaChirimudombo we used to say chemahara mushana but it was also a lie, kana watouda mushana wacho you have to go kwauri. Unotoufambira so there is nothing that comes easy. God said muchadya cheziya and that’s it. In 2021 people lost millions to Elamant, Crypto nana Beven then imi ndopomobvuma zvenyu kutengeswa.
I used to hate things that starts with Z like ZRP but now even zvinotanga na E. I heard even vana vechikoro no longer trust E-learning kkk. E-Commerce, E-wallet. But I need one person ari serious who was in this E-Creator thing to come and tell me what were they creating, or what they thought were creating. You can’t buy something online that is not delivered to you and expect to make money out of just clicking something that doesn’t exist. This is how blind Zimbabweans are. Ndikunzwei futi muchiseka Lobengula kuti he was tricked using sugar and a rocking chair.
I wonder where those people who blame Zanu PF for rigging its way into power every election get the guts to do so when most of the Zimbabwean people are duped easily like this. Kana vanhu vachibvuma kubirwa nePonzi scheme kuzoti Zanu PF zvayo, haa imi tikwanirei, stop blaming ZANU PF on your flaws.
Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to express my deepest condolences on the passing of the greatest faith leader Zimbabwe has ever had. Zimbabwe has lost a leader who contributed much to the development of this nation through education and preaching peace. RIP baba Guti, you fought a good fight. Vamwe tichichema Baba Guti and Chevrons imi busy kuchema E-Creator. However, hameno tichafambirepi na Panganai and his followers. Hanzi Java anoona kkk, that clown ma1, anyway, ndezvake naMwari. I am also in pain that the Chevrons failed to qualify. Iye akazoti magames anopedzisirwa kuBulawayo ndiyaniko. This is how we lost the plot, Dai takangopedzera masports kuHarare kune statue yaMbuya Nehanda. But the Chevrons wo futi, havana kumbosiyana neopposition party dzemuno, before elections munenge muchiti haa this time it’s a walk over, then election time unonzwa vakuti takabirirwa.
Ladies and gentlemen, as we go for elections, let’s choose wisely, lets just know that the second republic and CCC are opposite sides of the same coin, you cannot separate them but cannot view them at once, infact, zvakafanana kkk. I know maNerorists won’t agree with me and even varakashi4ED will not believe me but that’s the truth. Zanu PF says they are the new dispensation and they don’t want to be judged by what the party was doing since 1980. The same as CCC, they claim they are not MDC and cannot be judged by what happened in urban councils since 2000 when MDC took over. In fact, the two came about through coups. Trabablas couped uncle Bob paTV everyone and everyone was watching, similarly Nero couped Madam Khupe who was elected at congress paya takatarisa. She was lucky, they wanted to burn her alive kuBuhera uko. Akaponeswa nekunaya uswa hwakaramba kubata moto kkk. Vakafanana vanhu ava. Zanu PF believes in Sanctions while CCC believes in Corruption kkkk. But Mukomana akazoonera now, he is trying to charm the war vets and the security forces, hanzi Mapurisa edu, Masoja edu, maWar Wets edu, I hope they hear him and vote for him timbochinjawo imi kkk. But Mukati Trabablas na Nero havatambidzani midzanga at night?. At rallies they are always joking, nothing serious. I believe they smoke the same grade of mbanje that’s why their speeches are nothing but jokes, the difference is only the other one does dry jokes while the other does amusing ones kkk, ndomaPresident Manyama.
Now they are copying each other on promises and Tyson has also joined in. Trabablas started it by promising Epworth people title deeds. Vakazopiwa or Vakanzi after election? Tyson is promising the same if he wins which we all know he won’t, but in case he does, he is promising tittle deeds. The young boy also promised people in Chilonga the same. But I once heard some saying Nero is Chiwenga’s project, now Chiwenga was in Chilonga installing Chief Gezani, Nero followed next week, Achibva kuChilonga ndopaakauya akuisa golden chair paTwitter. Infact it was a royal Golden Chair. Chete you will accuse me of yep yepping too much so let me leave that story or ndorara zvangu ndavingwa nevakomana vema Nylon Suits and dark glasses. Ah, I had left out that one, Nero now has his own guys, I am yet to feel the material used to make the suits but they are also black.
Tine Mabhishu manyama atichakupai kkk, hanzi naTrabablas vakomana endai kuMt Darwin kune maBhishu manyama kkk. Why does a whole president look down upon us women like this. In this era where the president is supposed to be rallying the country towards development he is busy encouraging mjolo. Ndikafunga mabhishu ndobva ndafunga this one that made headlines last year, uya ainzi Susan Mutami, akazoenda nepiko. I heard akazongoperawo kunge mai Mujuru kkkk, Dr Amai Gucci Gire is following, havasi kubatika zvekumhanya.
Before I go zvangu kunokanga maputi angu for lunch, I want someone to school me team Mwonzora, Kasukuwere, and many others vari kumbonyatsopiwei chaizvo to be in the race? Because we can all agree kuti hapana anoluma pakati pavo unless we have another coup. All progressive Zimbabweans are supposed to leave their respective camps and join either Zanu or CCC so that the one who wins anonyatsohwina so that we deal with legitimacy issues, I hope you agree with me when I say it’s either ZANU or CCC, the rest are wasting their time and ours. Chete team racho here, Tyson is getting endorsement from CCC supporters who want him to split ZANU PF vote, the same applies to ZANU PF members who are supporting Mwonzora with the hope that he will poach some votes from Chamisa and I tell you these two are twins moramba. The only difference is that one is in and one is out. The one who is out is saying buda ndipindewo and vakapinda kare vari kublocker vamwe kkk. But ndarota zvaita, if you persuade me I will tell you my dream.
If anyone sees Egypt Dzinemunhenzva please pass my greetings. I heard he did not even to raise the needed 20k to be in the race unlike Linda who tried and tried kkk. Mboko Imboko.

VISET set to spearhead voter awareness in Mutare

Branton Matondo

MUTARE – Vendors Initiative for Social and Economic Transformation (VISET) is set to kick start a voter education and awareness campaign in Mutare, a programme meant to heighten the right to vote among workers in the informal sector.
The outreach programme slated for major cities across Zimbabwe including Masvingo, Bulawayo, and Harare is meant to encourage vendors to vote as the nation prepares for August 23 elections.
Speaking to TellZim News VISET Executive Director Samuel Wadzai said informal workers need to vote because the final result affects their industry.
“We launched this year’s project because we want to encourage informal economy workers to go and vote since the voting registration process for this year’s election has already closed. We are encouraging them to vote through our structures called social economic champions,”
“It is important for them to vote because the quality of leadership that we have affects their lives as traders, their businesses as entrepreneurs and their general well-being as citizens of this country. We have met our social economic champions here in Mutare and we have shared tools and information that they need so that they encourage them to go out and vote.” said Wadzai
He went on to say from Mutare VISET delegation is heading to the ancient city of Masvingo to congregate with social economic champions.
“From Mutare we will head to Masvingo and engage our social economic champions with the idea of sharing with them what they will expect and what they need to do. Basically we want them to share information on the importance of going out to vote,” said Wadzai
He said they were expecting a huge voter turnout from people in the informal sector on the Election Day.
“We are expecting a huge turnout from the informal sector come the 23rd of August. It’s important for them and the country for development that we want to see.” he said
A 12 member delegation consisting of vendors and informal workers across Mutare were selected to push the project meant to start on 10th of July.
One local vendor who refused to be named said the exercise was relevant and acute amid a situation where vendors make up the bigger chunk of the informal sector.
“We welcome the exercise by VISET, it’s good that vendors realize their right to exercise to vote because they are contributing to Zimbabwe’s economy. Their voice needs to be heard by through voting and we are glad that this exercise will buttress that.”
VISET, which has so far amassed 8 years of experience has become a platform of engagement for workers in the informal economy and the actual authorities, be it government, municipalities and all government agencies.
The exercise is also meant to influence policy frameworks that will suit the current informal sector.

Junior High School boosts driving school fleet

Staff Reporter

MASVINGO – Junior High School, one of the most sought after private schools in Masvingo has boosted its fleet of driving school vehicles dedicated to the school to fulfil its promise of making sure that all pupils of age leave the school with a driver’s license.
The school Director Noah Marima confirmed the development and said he was happy that they have managed to fulfil a promise they made to parents of their leaners of purchasing vehicles dedicated to the school.
“We have bought four vehicles at Junior Driving School which will be mainly used for driving lessons at Junior High School as we promised the parents. We discovered that we needed more vehicles for the school so that when the admin gives time for leaners to do practical driving lessons, we take a bigger number at once unlike what we used to do. We used to assign one vehicles the learners and this means it would take more time for leaners to get a chance for practical lessons,” said Marima.
He said currently they had 41 leaners who were studying for provisional licenses and when they finish, more vehicles would be needed for practical lessons to ensure no classroom time is lost.
“We have 41 leaners who are doing theoretical lessons, after they get their provisional licenses, we would need more vehicles for them to do practical lessons and the new vehicles would be deployed there at once,” said Marima.
He added that they had quite a number of leaners who had already gotten their drivers licenses at the school.
Marima went on to say as the school continues to develop, the latest development was a swimming pool which he said is almost complete and is one of the biggest in the province.
“Our swimming pool which is one of the biggest in the province is 90 percent complete. The pool is mainly for sporting activities as we saw it fit to diversify sport to accommodate every leaner,” said Marima.
He went on to say Junior Primary School boarding facilities were almost complete and starting next year January they will be enrolling boarders.
“We are already registering boarders at Junior Primary School for next year January intake, everything will be ready by end of year or even before” said Marima.
Junior High and Junior Primary school are located close to Masvingo-Harare highway in the leafy suburb of Rhodene near the scenic Mangwandi Mountain.

How to manage organizational politics?

By Shadreck Zangairai

Organizational politics can speed one’s way to the top, but can also ruin one’s career if one is not careful. It’s a two edged sword that has to be handled very carefully lest it can bring bitterness in the organization. It is based on similar principles guiding political conduct or even war. At this point I will take a leaf from Neale Donald Walsch, Author of “Conversations with God’’. The view posits that a person on the mountain top did not get there by falling but had to climb and one cannot get there by climbing over others. It is about climbing with others, side by side and even pulling some others up with you. If you are willing to do this, when you get to your destination, others will be happy you are there-which is what will keep you there’. Quite often, people want to climb to the top by climbing over others. This is suicidal since it can cause one to fall down heavily in the event that those “others” refuse to be stepped upon or steps aside. That is why climbing with others is necessary so as to get support in times of need.
While it’s impossible to eradicate organizational politics, there are several steps that HR practitioners, managers, and leaders can take to minimize its negative impact:
Create an overarching goal. This is a goal that everyone in the organization shares and can be a single, qualitative, time-bound goal such as giving the best service to clients.
Create a set of ongoing operating objectives. This process can be done within each function of the organization to develop a series of high quality operating standards. These standards can be shared across organizational functions.
Create metrics and measure them. One of the most important parts of the process is measure whether the operating objectives are being met or not.
The Law of Power- The law of power postulates that never outshine the master. According to a book by Robert Green: The 48 Laws of Power, always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite-inspire fear and insecurity. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power.
• Improve your people skills
• Communicate openly and honestly
• Put yourself in your employees’ shoes and understand the landscape
• Collaborate respectfully across departments
• Maintain positive working relationships with all colleagues
• Do not have favourites or give preferential treatment to anyone
• Change your approach if something is not working
• Ensure employees feel valued and noticed and know they have opportunities
• Monitor any issues you notice
• Encourage employees to reach out with concerns
• Step in when needed
• Set a positive example for your team to follow
Useful Rules
• Be friendly to everyone-and do not join issues you are not clear about.
• Do not burn your bridges as you climb up.
• Be patient.
• If your neighbor gets up early, get up earlier.
• Give help only when it profits you or your interest.
• If you go out of the formal rule book, do not get caught.
• If you make an example of any one, make sure everyone knows- (Punish one, teach a hundred).
• If you stumble, it will be on a stone and not a mountain.
• Do not let others see you ‘sleeping’ on duty.
• If the boss is out of the office, commit to working harder.
• It’s not about who is in charge but who takes charge.
• Control your story before others do.
• Shake hands when you are parting.
• Be a good team player.
• Avoid power tactics that tend to backfire (like coercion).
• Get to know your colleagues.
• Do not be afraid to take on unpopular projects: If you succeed, you are instantly a star- if you do not, no one thought it was possible.
• Do not think you do not have competitors. They will always be around you.

Who are the key players in any organization?

In the book, The Art of war, by SUN TZU, the following were given as examples;
The Boss: The person in charge.
The ‘Yes man’: Agrees with the boss even when he/she is wrong.
The Maverick: Non-conformist and a possible window to change.
The Traitor; Talks less and undermines people at their back.
The Vortex: Always pushing for their personal agenda.
The Empire builder: Getting more people into their debt and expanding their influence.
The Peace maker: Always concerned with harmony.
The Brain: Smart, data driven.
The Parrot: Steals ideas and parrots the right opinions of the day.

EWSET stirs poverty alleviation projects for Gweru women

Tinaani Nyabereka

Gweru- Ebenezzar Women Social Entrepreneurship Trust (EWSET) in partnership with SowHope has initiated a poverty alleviation project to help empower women in Gweru.
The project is expected to empower women to start income generating projects that include soap and vaseline making in order to create a brand and market the products.
The project is set to emancipate 100 women before expanding to other Midlands constituencies as women are struggling to take care of families due to prevailing economic hardships.
Speaking at the first phase of the training in Mkoba recently, EWSET director, Florence Guzha said a number of women were expected to benefit as the initiative is expected to give economic emancipation to women.
She said as an organisation they were going to sponsor the first phase of the project, beneficiaries were expected to sustain the project going forward and grow through working in clubs
“We thought of challenges women face in the modern society, remember a mother who is struggling to put food on the table as she doesn’t have any means of sourcing income. Who also face abuse as she is dependent on the men always,”
“We want that woman emancipated and equipped to use her hands for the benefit of her family and her community. So we want women to make vaseline and soap which they sell locally and internationally for their upkeep. We know they are capable because we have equipped them with the necessary information and ingredients to go about the production.
“We have the other resources and more will be availed in a few month time so that we put production at full force. So the project is running in groups of 20s where we saying we are going to have first 5 groups to do the production before we move to the next constituency.” She added.
Guzha said, young women were supposed to take centre stage as such initiatives would cut dependence syndrome which is stopping them from assuming leadership roles.
“As you can witness the project is being driven by a committee which has been made by women themselves. Among the Elderly we also have young women whom we are grooming to stir developmental committees. We are open to see other projects materializing in the future as we strive create jobs for youth’s particularly young girls.” She said
Financial advisor, Fungai Gamanya said in order to stir successful projects, there was need to teach women financial issues and effective money saving methods.
“As we are dealing with women in our communities, there is what I call social clubs in which people come together and form a saving club to sustain their project such as soaps and vaseline making.
“So these women have already established their saving club which is going to see them contributing U$2 as 20 members and in doing so, in their weekly contribution in the next three months the money will enable them to buy ingredients for soap and Vaseline making.
“Their committees are led by a Chairperson up to committee members and the moneys raised is going to be deposited in the bank as all operations are constitutionally guided. Once this project sustain itself we are going move to other constituencies and equip women financial methods of capacitating their initiatives.” She added.
One of the project beneficiary, Marian Banda of Mkoba 19, said the financial stability of women was key in growing every society.
“This project is very important as it is being driven by us the beneficiaries. We are the ones who are going to sustain it as a community for the benefit of the elderly, ourselves and our children.
“We are happy because we are going to make tangible products which are going to be branded and sold at the local and international market,”
“We have learnt that as women we should not be limited, we have to be financially stable to avert some of the challenges affecting us.” She said
