Informal mining a curse for women

…As the world commemorates 16 days of activism against GBV

Branton Matondo

Following this year 2022 commemoration of 16 days of activism against Gender Based Violence (GBV) running under the theme ‘Unite Activism to End Violence against Women & Girls’ from November 25 to December 10, civil society has noted that women are treated as ‘expendable commodities’ further exposing them to sexual, physical and emotional violence in mineral rich pockets of Zimbabwe.
With artisanal mining becoming the bed rock of survival in Penhalonga, Chiadzwa, Chimanimani and Odzi, women have been found on the other side of luck as they continue to be exposed to sexual manipulations by artisanal miners (magweja) and emotional abuse through rampant child marriage cases.
This was confirmed by Zimbabwe Gender Commission (ZGC) recent statistics which stated that at least 22 women are raped daily in Zimbabwe that is in every 75 minutes or one hour pointing to the fact that in every fifteen minutes a case of rape occurs.
On average 646 women are sexually abused monthly while one in three girls is raped or suffers some form of sexual abuse by the time they reach 18 years.
Speaking to TellZim News, Mutare-based youth forum Manica Youth Assembly (MAYA) co-ordinator Jussa Kudherezera said the informalized economy leading to proliferation of artisanal mining has already proved to be an impediment to girls and women.
“With the informalized economy and the advent of artisanal mining in Zimbabwe in gold-rich areas such as Penhalonga, Chimanimani and Odzi as well as diamond mining areas such as Chiadzwa, women are treated as expendable commodities further exposing them to sexual, physical and emotional violence. The extractive sector especially mining has become a curse for women instead of a blessing. This sector especially artisanal gold mining (chigweja) according to the Zimbabwe Gender Commission report is the biggest contributor to child marriages in the country,” said Kudherezera.
During a recent workshop held in Mutare, Centre for Research Development (CRD) leader Joseph Mupfumi said that besides manning of human rights violation by state security, women in the Marange area have also become sexual victims.
Reports indicate that women have been caught in between violence.
The lack of clear and viable tracing and groundwork in remote informal mining vicinities continues to affect the girl child.
MAYA believes that society has normalized early pregnancies indicating that so much work needs to be done.
“Society is not angry enough about child pregnancies; is this not a sign of a dysfunctional society? This is a clear case of how societies have normalized GBV. As MAYA, we refuse to legitimize this narrative and take this opportunity to speak out against Gender Based Violence Against Women and Girls (GBVAWG).
“Countering impunity, silence, stigma, and shame surrounding GBV is an important step towards supporting women and girls to lead more prosperous societies and engagement of men and boys.
“This must be accompanied by improved social and economic opportunities so that women and girls can fulfil their educational and professional goals and achieve economic independence through better access to decent work opportunities and social protection coverage, as well as to decision-making spaces and meaningful participation therein.
“Alongside these efforts, men and boys must not be left out, they must step up. They can begin where they live. It is an uncomfortable truth that for some women and girls rather than being a place of safety, as it should be, home can be deadly, “read a statement by MAYA.
Manicaland Women Forum (MWF) has been vibrant online as they have triggered a campaign that called for everyone to play their part as the province and the world at large propels the fight against GBV.

Cancerous growth halts Gutu teenager’s dreams

Theresa Takafuma

The mantra ‘disability does not mean inability’ has become so casual to an extent where many have forgotten the glaring inabilities being aggravated by poverty in the lives of people with disabilities like in the sad story of Tsitsi Mutambwi, a 16-year-old Gutu girl with albinism, who now languishes with a cancerous growth on her face.

Speaking to Tsitsi, one can sense the obvious hope in her voice—hope that pain will one day disappear and life can get better despite a childhood laced with hardships, including losing both her parents at a very young age; her father died, her mother abandoned her and has not been in her life since she was a toddler and is believed to have remarried somewhere.

Tsitsi is in form one at Mutambwi Secondary School, and is currently not attending classes due to the excruciating pain from the cancerous growth.

The little girl was left in the care of her maternal grandmother who was said to be mentally unstable and was taking Tsitsi around the Matombo area under Chief Munyikwa in Gutu to beg for alms as well as doing menial jobs to put food on the table with little consideration to her condition thereby exposing her to the scorching sun in many instances which affected her skin.

Community members are said to have influenced her to run away from her maternal grandmother’s home to go and find her father’s relatives in Mutambwi area where her paternal uncle and his wife took her in.

The aunt, Marvellous Mutisi said the family is desperately looking for help so that Tsitsi can have her life back like children her age but they are of very little means and can hardly make ends meet, let alone afford medical fees for Tsitsi’s treatment.

“When the growth started on her face above one of her eyes, we thought it was just lack of lotions that people with albinism are supposed to use and we could not afford them.

“A community charity organization, Vanobva kwaMunyikwa Development Trust (VAMDET) started assisting her with the lotions after they had visited Mutambwi Primary School in one of their initiatives, but in 2021 it started getting worse,” Mutisi said.

The organization, which raises its funds through donations from well-wishers took her to Harare in the hope that she could be assisted at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals, after which they later decided to look for a second opinion at Karanda Mission Hospital as they had been given a date which was further away at Parirenyatwa.

At Karanda, a sample of the growth was tested and the results came out indicating that she had basal cell cancer, and because of its gravity it required her to go back to Harare to see specialists for an operation as it had already affected her eye.

 

Back in Harare, she was given December 6 2022 to return for treatment funds permitting.

VAMDET Founder Watson Chatiza said they assist Tsitsi to the best of their ability but because they only rely on donations from well-wishers there are currently very few resources for both Tsitsi’s treatment as well as upkeep while she is in Harare.

“We took on Tsitsi’s case after her school head Mr Ziyapa called us and told us she was no longer coming to school because of the growth after our initial visit and we used the few resources we had to take her to Parirenyatwa then Karanda. I had to accommodate them in my home because her family does not have anywhere else to go in the city.

“Tsitsi’s case is heartbreaking as she is now failing to continue with her education because of her condition. We are appealing to well-wishers to help her get the required treatment so that she may be relieved of the pain she has to endure daily. At the moment we are seized with the matter as we try to fundraise for that as her condition is now worsening”

“We will appreciate any amount from well-wishers because all we are focusing on is her getting treatment,” Said Chatiza.

Tsitsi now spends most of her days sleeping due to pain, which she said is now causing persistent headaches, with the aunt confirming that she is no longer eating well probably because of pain.

“The growth is causing her so much discomfort. She spends most of the day sleeping now and we only wish that she gets help and is able to lead a normal life. She has potential to do better even in school if only she could carry on learning without being disturbed from her books due to her condition,” Mutisi said.

When prompted to speak, her very first words were; “Ndirikurwadziwa (I am in pain).

Grade 6 wizkid writes grade 7 exams, scores 9 units

Staff Reporter

MASVINGO – A grade six pupil at Victoria Government Primary School will have to skip grade seven after he sat for the 2022 grade seven examinations and scored 9 units.

Noah Junior Marima, son to prominent businessman of the Junior Brand Noah Marima, scored straight ones in Maths, Shona, Social Sciences, Agricultural Sciences and Tech, 2 units in English then three units in Physical Education and Arts.

Marima (Senior) said he was proud of his son’s achievement and said he will support him in whatever he chose to be in life.

He said Junior was a very cool and determined boy who always strive for the best results saying he didn’t doubt him when he decided to sit for the exams.

“I am ecstatic about the results. Junior is a determined young man who always wants to achieve the best in whatever he does. We will support him in whatever way and studies he chooses,” said Marima.

Marima said Junior follows in his footsteps as he is also result oriented though he said his son wants to pursue Engineering studies at tertiary level.

“I am his inspiration as I am also result oriented and I have seen that he copies a lot from me. However, he may differ in that he wants to do engineering and we will support him as we have always been doing,” said Marima.

The school head Lameck Mashuro said he was thrilled by the results saying they show unity on the part of staff.

“The results are a result of team spirit on the part of our staff who have a ‘catch them young’ mentality. It’s also a reflection of hard work on by the pupils,” Mashuro

He said Junior had showed academic prowess saying the school wished him all the best.

“The learner proved to be a genius in academia. We wish he continues like that and we will be there to support him,” Marusho said.

Masvingo city finally grants SIMBI 125 ha land

…Swop deal involving parent ministry weighed in

TellZim reporter

At last Masvingo City Council seems to somehow have given in to demands by SIMBI Steel to have an additional 125 hectares (ha) of land on top of the 65 ha they already had albeit a swop deal involving Ministry of Local Government and Public Works.
Minutes of council’s public works and planning committee meeting held on November 24, 2022 confirmed the development saying council would be given plus/minus 400 ha of remaining Clipsham area land by their parent ministry.
“Consideration was given to the report of the Acting Director of Engineering Services on the offer of land by the Ministry of Local Government and Public Works, for a swop deal wherein the ministry would allocate ± 400 hectares of land in the remainder of Clipsham in exchange for 125 hectares allocated to SIMBI in Westview Industrial Area. The swop deal was approved by the committee.
“Resolved to recommend that the swop deal with the Ministry of Local Government and Public Works for the City of Masvingo to get ± 400 hectares in remainder of Clipsham, in exchange of 125 hectares provisionally allocated to SIMBI (Pvt) Limited in Westview Industrial area be granted,” read the minutes.
The proposed expansion by the steel making company raised eyebrows a few months ago and got residents and other stakeholders’ tongues wagging after the company requested Masvingo city to sell them vast tracts of land at a lower rate of US$ 0.40 instead of US$ 4.00 per square meter.
Residents were sceptical of such a deal as they felt something unusual was brewing behind the scenes with fingers pointing to alleged corruption on the part of council especially councillors.
Masvingo United Residents and Ratepayers Alliance (MURRA) director Anoziva Muguti clearly stated residents position that they were disapproving such a deal amid controversial circumstances engulfing its inception.
Muguti said though they welcome the developmental move, they would appreciate it if the company paid for the land at a commercial rate after reaching 70 percent utilization of the already acquired 65 ha.
Initially four councillors namely Alderman Selina Maridza (ward 1), Deputy Mayor Wellington Mahwende (ward 6), Against Chiteme (ward 8) and Sengerayi Manyanga (ward 10) were believed to have pushed the deal through though allegations of underhand dealings were suspected.
Back then, Mayor Collen Maboke insisted that council would not be swayed into undercharging the land saying the developers with interests should pay the set amounts other than negotiating downwards.

Chief Murinye dragged to court over land dispute

TellZim Reporter

In yet another acrimonious boundary tussle, Chief Murinye, born Ephias Munodawafa has been dragged to court by a Mugabe clansman over a land dispute involving a piece of land the former is allegedly preparing for “zunde ramambo” community farming activities.
The piece of land in question, which Moses Mugabe, the applicant in the court case is claiming to be his father’s is in Village 33B, Chief Mugabe, Masvingo.
In his application, Mugabe claims that he had been farming on the said piece of land after his father, Kudakwashe Mugabe’s demise in 2014 until recently when Chief Murinye started the zunde activities on the land.
“I have been farming on said piece of land undisturbed until this farming season when the defendant started his activities.
“The respondent has infringed on my property rights in that he is making farming activities on my land under the guise that he is farming for the community under the Zunde initiative,” read part of the applying affidavit.
Mugabe further says the field in question was still registered in his father’s name and he intends to register in his name as required by law, adding that he possesses a householder/occupier’s certificate.
“I have approached other responsible authorities like the village head who referred me to this Honorable Court. I also sought help from the Rural District Council but I did not get the assistance I needed.
“The respondent is currently preparing the land for him to cultivate crops. As of the 14th of November 202, there were people preparing the land under his instruction,” further reads the application.
Contacted for comment, Chief Murinye said he could not speak on a case that is before the courts until it has been finalized.
“I am a lawyer and that case is before the courts so I cannot comment on it as it is sub judice,” Chief Murinye said.
Mugabe is claiming that Chief Murinye is only claiming the piece of land to settle a vendetta he had with the former’s late father, which involved the Murinye chieftaincy.
He also said the chief is saying the land has been a grazing area for years and was not being utilized for farming activities until this year when it is being used for the zunde ramambo community activities.
The two will be back in court on December 14 after the initial appearance on November 25.
This is not the first time Mugabe clansmen have been involved in land disputes following government orders for their kinsmen settled in Zero Farm near Great Zimbabwe Monuments to vacate the area, an order which was later revoked after they threatened to occupy the monuments if they had been displaced.

Mudzuri Slams Mwonzora

…says he is ashamed to be part of his executive

Brighton Chiseva

Former Harare Mayor and MDC Vice President Engineer Elias Mudzuri seems to be considering dumping MDC-Alliance after he indicated that he will not be contesting for any post at the upcoming congress citing irregularities in the electoral processes.
The elective congress is slated for December 18 this year with the party President Douglas Mwonzora seeking re-election.
In a leaked WhatsApp conversation, Mudzuri said he does not agree with the whole process and will only consider contesting if the process becomes transparent.
“Thank you to all members of the MDC family who have expressed their wish that I stand for re-election as second Vice President of the party at the coming 5th congress. Please take note that I will not submit myself for that election for any position. I will however remain a committed card carrying member of the party”
“I am not in agreement with the process so I stand conflicted to vie for any position until and unless the process becomes transparent and democratic including knowledge of the colligate from ward to province,” said Mudzuri.
Contacted for comment, Mudzuri confirmed the development saying he will not contest at congress owing to failure by the party to follow proper procedures where nominations would start from grassroots.
He said the consultations should start at cell up to provincial level where contestants will be nominated.
“I cannot be nominated by the elite members of the party, nominations should start at grassroots level. We are 22 years as a party and that is what we have been doing all along. I cannot be nominated by my friends, that is not what we do as a party,” said Mudzuri.
On whether he will remain a member of the MDC-T Mudzuri, who hails from Zaka, said he was not after positions in the party so he will remain a card carrying and loyal member of the party.
“I am ashamed of what is happening right now but I cannot run away from party, I have talked to them and I will continue to talk to them but if they don’t listen, I will remain a card carrying member as I cannot be part of the leadership which fails to observe the democratic tenets of the party.
“I can be nominated for any positions in the party and have at some point assumed the leadership of the party as you know when Mr (Morgan) Tsvangirai died, he left me in charge of the party,” said Mudzuri.
Contacted for comment, party secretary for communications Witness Dube said Mudzuri could not claim to have withdrawn from the race as he is a candidate yet considering that the candidate has not yet been vetted and approved.
“He was nominated for the post of vice president but his nomination is yet to go through vetting by relevant authorities to see if he meets the threshold. So as it stands, he cannot claim to have withdrawn because there is nothing to withdraw from. He is yet to be a candidate,” said Dube.
Dube went on to say preparations for the congress were going on smoothly and it will go ahead as planned and relevant authorities are finalizing the candidates’ selection issue.
Reports have surfaced in various media circles that Morgan Komichi is set to wrestle the presidency from incumbent Mwonzora at the congress.

Sugarcane farmers bleed Chiredzi council

…default US$ 1 m payments over five years

Beatific Gumbwanda

CHIREDZI– Farmers, majority of whom are A2 who are the beneficiaries of the land reform programme and occupying more than 30 000 hectares of sugarcane plots currently owe Chiredzi Rural District Council (CRDC) close to US$ 1 million in outstanding rates spreading over the past five years.
The revelation was made when the local authority have unveiled its ZW$ 7 158 883 788 proposed 2023 budget.
Masvingo province’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is largely premised on sugarcane production.
Chiredzi Rural District Council (CRDC) recently held its 2023 Revenue and Expenditure estimates meeting where they highlighted that sugarcane farmers are derailing progress of the local authority with a whopping close to US$ 1 million credit.
CRDC Finance chairperson Alderman Munyengeri Murawu said they are owed US$ 1 047 40 by corporates, government departments, business community, stand owners, council schools, commercial sugarcane farmers, rate payers and safari operators, with sugarcane farmers constituting 90% of the outstanding debt.
“Mr Chairman Sir, may I highlight to you that council is owed US$ 1 047 402.48 by companies, government departments, council schools, business community, stand owners, sugarcane commercial farmers, rate payers and safari operators,” said Alderman Murawu.
CRDC Treasurer Misheck Kutumba later clarified that sugarcane farmers constitute 90percent of that debt.
“90percent of the highlighted figure is from sugarcane farmers which stretch over the past five years and we are making strides to recover it from them,” said Kutumba.
The majority of sugarcane farmers in Chiredzi are Zanu PF big wigs and party loyalists.
The local authority also adopted its 2023 budget of ZW$ 7 158 883 788 which according to Alderman Murawo will have 60percent of it being own revenue ($4 348 230 633.00) while 40percent being government fiscal transfers ($2 810 653 155.00), with the local authority bench marking its tariffs in United States dollars.
“During the 2023 financial year, we anticipate that council budget will be ZW$ 7 158 883 788.00 with some $4 348 230 633.00 being own revenue and $ 2 810 653 155.00 being government fiscal transfers. Mr Chairman Sir, because of the current developments in the macro-economic environment, your council has benchmarked its tariffs in the United States dollars with dual invoicing United States dollars and Zimbabwean dollars but payable in any currency,” said Alderman Murawu.
He also highlighted that the cash cows for the budget will be property taxes, tax on sale of goods and services, parks and wildlife, operating licenses and Estate funds while 26percent will be channelled towards employees and councillors’ allowances.
“The cash cows for our 2023 estimates will be property taxes contributing $2 165 431 500.00, Tax on sale of goods and services $2 211 331 500.00, Parks and wildlife $346 851 000.00, Operating Licenses $459 882 000.00 and Estate funds $1 064 241 000.00. Mr Chairman Sir, $1 142 845 254.00 will go towards employee compensation cost which is 26.28% inclusive of councillors’ allowances and calculated from own estimates and 15.24% calculated from the whole budget,” added Alderman Murawu.
CRDC’s budget, which is seven fold the 2022 one, will be skewed towards water and sanitation, road networking and housing developments which are the basic drivers of investment opportunities which is being done by providing basic primary public service infrastructure, shortening commutes, ensuring portable water and improving quality and sustainable livelihoods.

Gutu political violence: Zanu PF disown members

…Says law will deal with perpetrators

Courage Dutiro

Following reports of fierce political violence that rocked Gutu district last week, Masvingo Zanu PF provincial leadership has distanced the party from the violence and disowned perpetrators allegedly involved in the act.
In a press statement released by the party’s provincial information department, the Gutu political violence perpetrators are Zanu PF imposters that assumed false identity to tarnish the image of the party.
” As Zanu PF Masvingo provincial leadership and loyal party cadres we disassociate ourselves from the hoodlums and criminals who should face the full wrath of the law.
“We do not have such members within our card-holding loyal membership. These, if at all they purport to be of Zanu PF DNA, are impostors who seek to infiltrate our ranks to cause anarchy,” read part of the statement.
The Zanu PF Masvingo provincial leadership said they are not aligned to the perpetrators
“We are not in any way aligned to or in league with the alleged perpetrators of violence,” read part of the statement.
Zimbabwe is just a few months from its 2023 harmonized elections.
Gutu Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) cluster champion Lloyd Mupfudze said Zanu PF is only trying to hide behind the finger as the political violence perpetrators are popular Zanu PF members.
“They are well known Zanu PF members and they are party leadership position holders,” said Mupfudze.
A number of political violence cases where Zanu PF is being accused as the perpetrator by opposition political parties have been so far recorded in Gutu some few weeks ago.

Worry over Mutare persistent water woes

…Cholera outbreak fears grip Hobhouse, Mawonde

Branton Matondo

Residents from Mutare low and medium density suburbs have expressed concern over prolonged water rationing with some places going for weeks without the precious liquid amid fears of exposure to water borne diseases like cholera and typhoid.
Residents from Hobhouse low density suburb have gone for more than a fortnight while other areas within the suburb have gone for a month with dry taps.
Dangamvura area 7 has now assumed the name ‘The Desert Area 7’ where residents have become accustomed to bucket water after going for a month only for water to be availed briefly on November 27.
Mawonde residential area is equally in a crisis as residents are experiencing acute water shortages.
A resident from Hobhouse said it was now two months of struggling to access water as household taps have gone dry.
“For the past two months we continued to receive water charges/tariffs yet our taps are dry.
We fail to understand where the charges are coming from when there is no water to talk of. Water is a basic right; it’s there in the constitution. Friction between council and residents comes from such situations where city fathers do not own up to what is being paid for by residents,” said the resident.
As reports of cholera cases around the country made rounds recently, residents from Mawonde also worry the same unfortunate feat may befall them.
A resident from Mawonde who identified herself as Mary expressed fear over the situation.
“Our toilets are disgusting. Cholera is around the corner. It’s a worrisome situation. We call upon council to prioritize restoration of clean water supply before the matter gets out of hand,” said Mary.
Mutare City council through its communication desk addressed residents on November 25, 2022 of technical challenges at Odzani and Christmas Pass water works.
Council has also moved around residential areas with a bowser initiative to supply water to residents.
On November 27 however, the truck had to vacate the delivery point following a stampede from thirsty residents who had gone for more than a fortnight without water.
A resident from Hobhouse spoke of how tough the situation had become as there was a stampede with families squeezing and shoving for the precious liquid.
“When the bowser came to the delivery point, there were many people in the queue. The truck had to go back because of the pushing and shoving making it difficult for people to access the water,” said the resident.
Mutare City Council Town Clerk Blessing Chafesuka said he will consult the finance department on issues to do with water charges.
Mutare Residents and Ratepayers Association (MRRA) Programmes Director David Mutambirwa urged council to employ everlasting solutions to the challenges than engaging in short term ones.
“City of Mutare must desist from temporary repairs to the water bursts; this will not take the city anywhere, but should consider an integrated water management if they are to end the perennial, persistent and sporadic water bursts,” said Mutambirwa.
He added that there is need to prioritize total change of water infrastructure to evade these problems citing that city fathers should not rely on bowsers and boreholes for permanent water supply.
“The overhaul of the water infrastructure will bring a sustainable water supply to the city. The obsolete water pipes should be removed and replaced with durable once. Water bowsers and boreholes should be put in place for cases of emergency,” he added.
Issues surrounding water shortages and challenges dominated discussions during budget consultation meetings with residents across 19 wards of Mutare.

Let’s arrest criminals surrounding our President, Cdes

Mapombi is really worried about the ever increasing political violence in the country. Cdes, we are one people and it’s needless for us to behave like strangers. We are brothers and sisters – our elders died for this country in one way or the other. Having different ideologies and political beliefs should never make us enemies. This is one area Mapombi feels political parties should genuinely join hands and denounce political violence. The leadership is mum especially from Zanu PF and we all know kana imbwa ichihukura vatenzi vakaramba vakanyarara kana kutarisa divi vanoda kuti urumwe. Political leaders must come clean and genuinely denounce political violence, otherwise they are the ones behind all this violence we are currently witnessing.
Mapombi is a victim of 2008 presidential run off political violence, ndakamwisa sewage muchindiona ndakadai vehama ndosaka vazhinji vachifunga kuti ndinopenga. I am not a mad person but these are effects of political violence in the hands of Zanu PF. They almost killed me but the Almighty Lord saved me. I no longer fear Zanu anymore kana vachida kuuraya ngavauye vaponde ndogara paChitima Market apo where I survive on rotten bananas and maputi. I had immense potential to become someone in life but Zanu took away everything from me – my father was killed saka chimwe chandichinacho chii. I get too emotional when I hear or see acts of political violence, vamwe tine maronda musadero veduwe. Let us promote peace in the country. Political violence is an old tactic zvava kutonyadzisa.
Anyway, today I will not waste time talking about a lot of issues because I have other issues to attend to so I will be straight to the critical issues. The issue is our good and able President is now surrounded by criminals who are busy tarnishing his image and are the reasons for the current economic meltdown we are experiencing as a nation. As such, it is high time we arrest the criminals who are surrounding the President so that we restore order in our country. As to who will lead the process mochitauriranawo ikoko moronga because inini I have brought the idea. But still I can make suggestions – Kedha can lead the process. Haaaa imi kwanai munobvunza kuti Kedha ndiani munorevesa? This guy akambozora Ambi asingazive kuti ine maDhibhiriteting effects uyu. The criminals must go behind bars or at least skip our borders and join others in self-exile. If there is someone who think it will not work; it will work. Simpuru kkkkkkkkki.
President ED promised during the run up to 2018 elections that vachajekesa nyika yese nemagetsi but look how Soda Zhemu is sabotaging him. The electricity situation has worsened from the time when the President promised to electrify even the rural communities. Things are now bad and many people are asking kuti saka ndiko kujekesa nyika yese nemagetsi here uku when we are having electricity six hours a day at most. It’s very clear that there are criminals at the Ministry of Energy and something has to be done. Now.
By the way, Why was Fortune Chasi fired as the Minister of Energy and replaced neSvoda yekubikisa derere iyi? Chasi performed much better than this Zhemu guy; he is a total joke. Zhemu is a perfect example of failure. Mapombi strongly believes the guy is clueless – hapana zvinozikanwa paye. We cannot have a country inodzimwa magetsi everywhere from CBD, locations to Industries and then we expect development. Citizens are struggling especially civil servants apa mava kungoendesa magetsi pamadira kuti tunyama twavo turi muma fridge tuore varase. Chokwadi kurwadziwa nekuti Civil Servant wadyirei nyama pakusvika pakuendesa magetsi kuti tunyama twavakatenga on payday twuwore? Haaa humwe hustinye hunokunda hwaSatan ndotokuudzai kudai.
Chasi did fairly well to solve the electricity problem and Mapombi really salutes him. I’m sure his dismissal was more political than incompetence. Zhemu is the king of incompetence, no wonder Mthuli gave his ministry kamari kashomashoma because akaona kuti inotambiswa uku kkkkkk. We talk highly about smart energy but we have no means to harness the heat from the sun into solar energy. We have no clue whatsoever basa kungopa some tenders to people like Chivhayo who do not deliver. Mapombi cannot tolerate this anymore and this is the reason I am saying let us arrest all the criminals surrounding our President. We highly talk about smart energy when we go for summits and conferences but implementation dololo. We are good at writing concepts and proposals but we are very poor at implementing. Why are we not harvesting all this heat from the sun into solar energy? Why are we not having a hydro power generation house at Tokwe-Mukosi dam, the largest inland in the country? Why? Because of corruption? We give tenders to the Chivhayos zvobva zvatongonyaragwa zvakadaro Cabinet yotogara pasi yototi haaa paya takatonyura vakomana ngatitofungai zvimwe? Really? The criminals have to go. They must go, and there won’t be any better time than now
But there are more criminals Cdes. Many people will think Mapombi has a bone to chew with Mthuli but kupika namai vangu kudai handina kungotaurawo pandinge ndichiona kuti pakaminama. We all know that Mthuli took over as minister of Finance when the official rate was US$1 to RTGS$1. And where is the rate today? About 1:600 or so all thanks to Mthuli. He has introduced various monetary policies and reforms asi chakabuda hapana. He spoke highly about austerity for prosperity but hedzo five years bhaaa asi chabuda dololo. Mthuli is very much responsible for the current economic meltdown and the sad faces on many civil servants. Austerity measures for years and where is the prosperity? What kind of an economy which is only enjoyed by a few? A few from Zanu PF heee ndochii ichocho? Mthuli is another joke and it’s high time the country put to an end such jokes of very bad taste.
Everything is now expensive in Zimbabwe. Think of anything – I mean anything even condoms they are now expensive. Oooh sorry ndava kutaura about my tools andinoshandisa kubasa kwanguwo veduwe ndizvo zvinotondiraramisa ndikowo kwandinotowana mari yemaputi andoda kutondodya lunch zvayava kusvika kudai. So what kind of a country is it where everything is not affordable and the rest are living in abject poverty? ED is losing popularity daily because of Mthuli and Zhemu and others. Kedha must do something.
Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, the situation has gone to another level and it’s high time we arrest all the criminals surrounding our able President. The criminals are making our good President look like he is a failure – they are sabotaging him in every sector of the economy. Apawo maSanctions obva ati neparutivi kkkkkkkkk. Sanctions must go, right Cdes? The sanctions are causing corruption by government officials, they are externalising monies, they are causing political violence and they are also violating human rights. Haaaa for sure Sanctions must go – imagine tikaendesa maSanctions we will have a corruption free government, peaceful election campaigns and respect for human rights. Ndiani angarambe kuti maSanctions asaende pakadai kkkkkkkkk
Mapombi has seen criminals that were surrounding the former President being arrested in November 2017, and I am praying for a repeat of that. Mbavha nemakororo zvakakomberedza President ngazvisungwe. Let us restore sanity Cdes. I am sure there is no one in this country who is against the idea of arresting criminals kana aripo ngaasimudze ruoko timuone. Criminals should live behind bars or the can escape our borders if they are lucky to escape. As to who will lead the arrests izvo mochirongawo ikoko Mapombi cannot be leading everything ka nhai. Kana zvanetsa let those who led the previous campaign also lead this one. Kedha can do it. Yes, I mean Kedha. And I can imagine all the people, including the Citizens will run onto the streets shouting Kedha Kedha Kedha Kedha! Kkkkkkk and you know what? The Citizens will be the ones on the forefront kkkkkk twune dzungu tuvanhu utwotwu they did it again in 2017 kusaziva kwaive kufarira nánga neyaindobata amai. Zvino ndezvipi manje?
It’s almost lunch time guys let me go ndindokanga mapouti angu for lunch mind you kwatinobva kwakasiyanaka vamwe makaitirwa zvakanaka munongondodya zvabikwa kare paMeakles, Holiday Inn, Sheraton kana Monomutapa. Ooh ndabva ndazevezerwa here kuti it’s no longer Sheraton hanzi yava Rainbow Towers, ipapo. But the good thing is imi madya izvozvo zvinonaka neni ndadya some rotten bananas and maputi tese tinongoguta and eventually you will use flush system while I use bush toilet. The end result is the same kkkkkkkkkk. By the way I’m hearing from the streets that Kasukuwere wants to come and contest for the presidential seat so that he can be our Saviour? I will not say more but wishing him the best of luck. Those who have Tongai Moyo’s song yekuti ndima iyi ine makata chinunúna changu inotoda muchina muhombe ndimbe iwo ndiridze zvangu titambe mangoma nechihazvanzi changu Kasukuwere ichi.
Ko Jonso naZhuwao vava papi nenyaya yekuita rejoin musangano wevanhu? Kkkkkkk it’s cold out there hakugarike and ukabuda muZanu upenyu hwako hunounyana. Anyway, the party is ready to welcome anyone who wants to join but we all start from the cell. I have said enough for today otherwise I will be accused of yep yepping. But before I go, ndipeiwo maResults eWorld Cup matches veduwe. I mean those with solar backups or generators because kwedu uko sesu chembere tinozongonzwa nepwere kuti auya kuma 12 akaenda kuma3. Haaa zvakaoma, tingagodii nyika ichivakwa neveno vayo. I wish if Mphoko was here zvingadaro akatoita plan so about nyaya yemagetsi.
