TellZim partners city of Masvingo to promote access to information

Kimberly Kusauka

TellZim Newspaper has engaged Masvingo City Council (MCC) to promote access to credible information that will go a long way in enhancing transparency and accountability in public resource and finance management for the benefit of residents.

During an engagement meeting organized by TellZim on November 12, 2021, Masvingo Mayor Councilor Collen Maboke said council is more than willing to ensure that credible information about projects and council operations reach out to residents timeously.

I want to thank TellZim for this engagement, I am sure that this kind of collaboration and partnership will go a long way in promoting information dissemination, accountability and transparency at council.

The meeting enlightened us on the importance of disseminating information in real time. I believe residents will also commit themselves to pay their bills in time if they have enough information on how council spend their monies,” said Maboke.

Masvingo Public Relations Officer, Ashley Jinjika said the meeting helped to close the gap that was there between local authorities and media on informing residents.

“The meeting was so insightful. It unearthed gaps between media and local authority. I personally think that such engagements are necessary for development of a city and also for us to have informed citizens,” said Jinjika.

TellZim Director and Editor Passmore Kuzipa said he was excited about the partnership with council in information dissemination a move he says will promote transparency, accountability and development.

“We are excited about this engagement and the possible synergies that were discussed that aim to promote access to credible information by residents. We believe that if people have information they will act from an informed position.

It will also contribute to residents paying their rates and bills in time and more importantly increasing transparency and accountability in public finance management in local authorities,” said Kuzipa.

He also said that as an organisation they are going to move to all seven districts of Masvingo as well as Manicaland and Midlands provinces to broaden the partnership.

“We want to take this initiative to other local authorities. We have seven districts and hope to reach out to every district as well as Manicaland and Midlands province.

“As a paper, we are a news organisation with a human face, we do not just tell the story but we also live it and as a result, we create platforms that enhance interaction of residents, councilors and council management,” said Kuzipa.

As part of the resolutions made during the meeting, TellZim News resolved that it will live stream post full council meetings and the discussions will be open for all media houses in Masvingo.

During the engagement meeting, it was also agreed there should be an engagement meeting between journalists in Masvingo and council where council management will explain in detail how they operate and their mandate so that reporters when they write their stories, they do it from an informed position.

It was also resolved that starting from this year, council will introduce municipal reporter of the year awards to promote municipal reporting by local media houses where adjudication and call for submission of stories will be done.

TellZim also offered space in the paper as part of partnering with council so that the latter brings information they need to be disseminated to residents from time to time making use of the dedicated space.

As a way of promoting access to council information, it was agreed that the council will be sharing press releases and press statements which will be shared across media houses.

The facilitators during the meeting Dr Last Alfandika and Zimbabwe Media Commission (ZMC) Vice Chairperson Jasper Maposa highlighted the importance of access to information and the role of the media in promoting development.

Rutenga residents blast council reluctance on flea markets

Cephas Shava

Residents of Rutenga Growth Point’s Ward 18 recently blasted the local authority’s delay on the reconstruction of the area’s flea market which Mwenezi Rural District Council (RDC) razed down following a directive from central government during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic.
During the area’s budget consultation meeting held on November 8 at the council hall, residents took turns to express their discontent over the local authority’s lack of action in reconstructing the flea market.
Jasper Mhaka, a resident of Rutenga said it was surprising that council is developing cold feet on addressing their issue.
“Flea markets are a major if not the only source of livelihood for residents here. Lack of action and seriousness over this issue by the local authority is worrisome especially given that it is the same council claiming to be broke, that is now dragging its feet in reconstructing structures that generate money. What is worrisome is that there are individuals within council who are benefiting from the continued lack of flea markets in Rutenga. As residents, we need immediate action over this issue of flea markets,” said Mhaka.
The local authority’s treasurer, Richwell Sitera and the Human Resource (HR) representative Trust Magaisa who were part of the Rutenga budget consultation meeting, however, promised that the local authority would address the residents’ concerns with the urgency they deserve amid several objections from residents.
Another critical concern raised was that of some ‘dubious’ road contractors who are occasionally hired by the local authority and they end up doing substandard work.
Local businessperson Rex Gumbo said poor construction works done by some of the hired contractors is worrisome.
“We have got contractors with well-known documented track records of deceiving local authorities across the country, but it seems they are continuously finding their way getting tenders here. There is need for due diligence in selecting some of these contractors because right now we agree that the structures currently being worked on the N and R Road are completely substandard, ” said Gumbo.
Contacted for comment, Mwenezi RDC Chief Executive Officers (CEO) said the issue of construction of flea markets is top of their priority list and the re-construction process will depend on the rate at which residents pay their bills.
“We have made the issue of Rutenga flea markets construction part of next year’s budget but as you are aware, the rate at which we will fully construct the structures depends on how Rutenga residents will upscale their rate payments as well.
“The improvement of any other service delivery strictly depends on how residents adhere to rate payments,” said Chivanga.
The budget consultation also noted that the local authority managed to only collect 20% of the revenue from Rutenga Growth Point.

MoHCC initiates Covid-19 vaccination on 16-17 years age group

…lactating, pregnant women eligibility still hangs in balance

Kimberly Kusauka

Ministry of Health and Child Care (MoHCC) has already started Covid_19 vaccination on initially excluded groups following approval by Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe (MCAZ) to include them on Sinovac vaccine.
The decision to include these groups was announced during the 39th post-cabinet briefing held in Harare though MoHCC is yet to relay the information nationally.
Masvingo Covid-19 Taskforce spokesperson Rogers Irimayi said the vaccination of teenagers aged 16-17 has already begun in the province and the Sinovac vaccine is in place while they are carrying out awareness programmes in the districts.
“The vaccination of teenagers aged 16-17 has started in Masvingo province. The Sinovac vaccine has already been sourced and awareness campaigns are underway in the districts.
“We are encouraging those who want to be vaccinated to visit vaccination centres where the vaccines have been distributed,” said Irimayi.
Masvingo Provincial Medical Director (PMD) Dr Amadeus Shamhu said they sent a truck to collect vaccines from Harare and distribution will start on November 11, 2021.
“We sent a truck to collect vaccines from the headquarters and they will be distributed in clinics starting from November 12,” said Dr Shamhu.
He said on the issue of including lactating mothers and pregnant women in the vaccination programme, the ministry has not yet written an official document.
“We have not yet received a written circular from MoHCC giving us green light to start vaccinating lactating mothers and pregnant women,” said Dr Shamhu.
Early September there was serious confusion over the vaccination of pregnant women and lactating mothers against Covid-19 in the country as officials continued to issue contradicting statements on the official position.
In that same month World Health Organisation (WHO) issued a statement on their website claiming that the vaccination of lactating and pregnant mothers brings in more benefits than harm as they are also at risk of infection.
“WHO recommends vaccinating pregnant women and lactating mothers where benefits outweigh the risks. That means pregnant women with heightened exposures to Covid-19, such as health workers and those with comorbidities, stand to benefit from vaccination,” read the WHO statement.
Recently MoHCC Deputy Minister Dr John Mangwiro said the nation had reached 38 percent on achieving herd immunity of the total population and gave green light to the vaccination of pregnant and lactating mothers while addressing journalists at a National Aids Council (NAC) workshop in Chinhoyi.
“On achieving herd immunity, we are now at 38 percent and it is everyone’s duty to contribute towards achievement of 60 percent by end of 2021. We have publicly announced that if pregnant and lactating women want to be vaccinated, they can do so,” said Dr Mangwiro.
Pregnant women and lactating mothers continue to be turned away from vaccination centres where they are told that MoHCC are yet to give a clear directive.
With just a month to go before year-end, it remains to be seen if the herd immunity would be achieved.

Teachers demand ZIMSEC invigilation allowance

…as ARTUZ threatens 12 days work withdrawal

Rutendo Chirume

Teachers unions have resolved to demand invigilation allowances during the Zimbabwe School Examination Council (ZIMSEC) national examinations together with payment of bonuses in United States dollars which will restore their salaries to the October 2018 scale of US$540.
The Zimbabwe Teachers Association (ZIMTA) took to their official Twitter account on November 7, threatening to withdraw invigilation services during examinations if the issue of allowances is not addressed.
“ZIMSEC claims that preparations for exams are going on smoothly. You have forgotten so soon. How do you get ready when Zimsec has not signed any contracts with teachers for invigilation? No allowance, no invigilation,” reads the tweet.
Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) president Obert Masaraure said if Zimsec is able to pay other teachers to be examiners, it should be prepared to pay those invigilating the exams.
“We demand invigilation allowances separate from our salaries because Zimsec is a separate entity. If the same entity is paying other teachers to be examiners, it should be prepared to pay those invigilating the examinations. We will not hesitate to withdraw our services if our demands are not met,” said Masaraure.
Masaraure also said ARTUZ members will not be intimidated and will not hesitate to protest unless they are attended to because the misery of teachers cannot be ignored.
“From 15 to 27 November we will withdraw our labour begging for the attention of Mthuli Ncube. The misery of teachers cannot be ignored .Festive season is fast approaching, we desperately need a raise .Our families are starving,” said Masaraure.
Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) president Dr Takavafira Zhou said their members are defiant and will not invigilate public examinations unless they are paid for the task.
PTUZ on the same day (November 7) took a position over invigilation. Infact our members have defied invigilation of public examinations and a number of them have been brought for disciplinary hearings that failed to take off because Zimsec has no contract with teachers as a parastatal.
It is also Zimsec that failed to compensate teachers involved in accidents while taking public examination papers back to its offices on the basis that it has no contract with them. Zimsec must therefore enter into a contract with teachers, pay for invigilation of public examinations and even Continuous Assessment of Learning Activities (CALA) by teachers. Our members would not invigilate public exams unless they are paid,” said Zhou.
Zimsec Public Relations Officer (PRO) Nicky Dlamini said the organization is waiting for a formal request from the unions because they have only communicated through the media.
“We are still waiting for them to put a formal request to the organization so that we can sit down and reach a common ground. So far they have only communicated through the media,” said Dlamini.
In the same list of resolutions teachers demanded that government should review their salaries back to pre-October 2018 when they used to earn US $540 from US $100 equivalent of the local currency (when converted using parallel market rates) they are currently earning.
The strike is set to go under the banner “12 voices for education campaign” where each day would be dedicated to a particular voice from the community members who are interested in education in order to help the unions amplify their voice for the restoration of pre-October 2018 wages.
Public examinations are around the corner with Ordinary levels starting on November 22 while grade 7 and Advanced levels are set for November 29.

Zimstat gears up for 2022 population census

Brighton Chiseva

The Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency (Zimstat) said it is upping its game in preparation for the 2022 national population and housing census.
In a statement during a post cabinet briefing on November 9, the Minister of Information and broadcasting services Monica Mutsvangwa said 31 000 Tablets (phones) to be used in the enumeration exercise had already been delivered with the census mapping having reached close to 85percent.
“The nation is informed that preparations for the 2022 population and housing census are on-going with 31 000 Tablets to be used during the exercise having been delivered so far. Census mapping has covered about 84.6 percent of the country and is expected to be complete by January 21, 2022,” said Mutsvangwa.
The 2022 census scheduled for April will for the first time be done digitally meaning they are doing away with paper to save time for data capturing.
Enumerators will enter information they gather in mobile gadgets which directly send data to the national server.
Speaking to TellZim News, Zimstat Public Relations Officer Roland Chiringa said about 20 000 tablets are expected to be delivered anytime soon.
He went on to say they are already conducting workshops with enumerators as they prepare them for the actual exercise.
“Preparations are going on very well and we already got 31 000 tablets and 20 000 more will be delivered to fit the actual number we need for the enumerators. We recently had a workshop with our enumerators in Gweru. We started on the November 4, and finished on November 13 as we prepare for the pilot Census which will start on November 17,” said Chiringa.
Provincial and district census structures have already been set up and Zimstat is sensitizing structures to be prepared for the census.
The census will run for 10 days, with enumerators drawn from their localities, and each is expected to cover about 100 households.

Covid-19 vaccination cards theft investigations at Mucheke clinic ongoing

Kimberly Kusauka

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) and Masvingo council municipal police have launched an investigation into the whereabouts of an undisclosed number of Covid-19 vaccination cards that mysteriously disappeared at Mucheke clinic between end of August to early September 2021.
Masvingo Provincial Medical Director Dr Amadeus Shamhu confirmed the issue and referred all questions to Masvingo City Council Acting Chief Environmental Health Officer, Ngonidzashe Mapamula as the facility is council-run.
“I can confirm that Covid-19 vaccination cards were stolen at Mucheke clinic around the end of August or early September but you can get finer details from Mr Mapamula,” said Dr Shamhu.
Mapamula said the case was reported at Chikato police station in Mucheke and is still under investigation.
“The issue was reported at Chikato police station and ZRP, Municipal police and our audit section are involved in the investigation.
“It is still an issue which is under investigation hence we cannot comment much,” said Mapamula.
Cases of theft of vaccination cards once rose during the peak of the ‘command vaccination’ as some defiant people ended up engaging in corrupt activities to get proof of vaccination which they would not have undergone.
In the past few months, people have been raising concern on the simplicity of the vaccination card, with some saying the cards did not have any security features hence open to manipulation before the Ministry of Health and Child Care (MoHCC) moved a step forward by digitizing the cards in August this year.
It seems there is low turnout of people at vaccination points since most of them are now reluctant following Covid-19 lockdown relaxation from level four to two.

Gweru stakeholders implore govt to resuscitate recreational facilities

Tinaani Nyabereka

Stakeholders in Gweru have implored government and city council to resuscitate recreational facilities in and around the city, as most of the facilities are not serving their intended purposes.
Most recreational centres are being used as churches and pre-schools, a development that has affected most initiatives within the sport and art sectors.
Speaking at a Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Youths, Sport, Arts and Recreation public hearing on November 6 in Gweru, cultural activist and musician, Joseph Tawanda Nhara (aka Man-Souljah) said most recreational centers and trust organisations in the province are abused by sectors not even linked to sport and recreation.
He added that young people are also failing to access these facilities due to exorbitant rates being billed by the local authority.
“My question to the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee is simply as, I want to find out how best we can engage council and government as residents and stakeholders to help us restore our trust organisation like the Midlands Academy of Music to their proper use.
“These facilities were handed over to the public for public use and were run by boards of directors but to our surprise, their intended use long changed as they are being leased out. These boards and management committees no longer exist and elections long ceased.
“It is a sad development because these places seem to have been personalised. Some of the facilities were turned into pre-schools and churches as well as company offices,” added Nhara.
He further said youths were indulging in drug activities as they did not have productive centres of convergence.
“As for our theater, it was manned by theater guilds who later on returned the facility to council under the mandate of serving the public.
“Now the theater is being rented to various churches and over time it has become so dilapidated. We have a lot of children and professional actors who are into theater, movies but cannot use the facilities. My appeal is those not entitled to use these centers must stay away for purposes of development of arts.
“Our city has city planners so they must make sure that churches get land where they are supposed to construct own facilities,” he said.
Meanwhile Gweru Sports Club chairperson John Makuwalo said as a recreational centre they were struggling to come to terms with the prevailing council bills which he feels are too much for the tenants.
“My appeal to committee is we recently received a bill of ZW$ 400 000 and still do not understand how council came up with such a figure when we are not having council supplied water. At one point we engaged council with a payment and our challenges on access to water but the debt is still growing,” said Makuwalo.
Parliamentary Portfolio Committee chairperson for Youths, Sports, Arts and Recreation who is also the Member of Parliament for Vungu constituency, Omega Sibanda tasked Gweru council to present all the paperwork concerning arts and recreational centres in the city.
“So let me put the Mayor to task that by November 20, 2021 we want all the paperwork concerning recreational centres and Arts Trust Organisations so that we understand where we are coming from, who is currently renting or leasing these facilities. We want to come back and have a tour of these of facilities as a committee,” Sibanda said.
Presenting on the state of security provision at recreational centres, Gweru Mayor Josiah Makombe said council was trying to upgrade other facilities like the Gweru African Football Association (GAFA) and Ascot Stadiums.
“We are still worried with the issue of vandalism whereby we are trying to resuscitate our grounds but we have challenge of resources as our budgets sometimes fail to cater for all the refurbishments,” Makombe said.

Litmus test for E.D, Mwonzora

…As by-elections set for 2022 first quarter

…Winner to set tone for 2023

TellZim Reporter

President Emmerson Mnangagwa and the leader of MDC-T Douglas Mwonzora have a litmus test to prove their worth and popularity during the by-elections set for the first quarter (January – April) next year, ahead of 2023 harmonized elections.
Mwonzora and ED allegedly went into an unholy alliance which saw the former given unfettered powers to recall over 120 MPs, senators and councilors that were elected under the MDC Alliance, with Nelson Chamisa as their presidential candidate in 2018.
Addressing hordes of supporters in Chimanimani where he was officially opening the Jopa-Kopa Highway, Mnangagwa told supporters that the party was expecting to win all the 133 vacant national assembly and local authority elective seats.
“We will be holding elections during the first quarter of 2022. As Zanu PF, we want a clean sweep of all the vacant seats. This will serve as a litmus test for our preparedness in the 2023 harmonized elections,” Mnangagwa said.
By confirming that the by-elections are indeed a litmus test for Zanu PF, Mnangagwa is probably not confident to win especially considering the current economic crisis and the factions that are threatening to tear up the party.
Political analysts said the by-elections are a litmus test for both Mwonzora and Mnangagwa who are under fire for allegedly destroying the economy and waging an unholy alliance against the MDC Alliance president Nelson Chamisa.
Chamisa was attacked by Zanu PF supporters in Masvingo and Manicaland Provinces last month during his citizens’ convergence for change tours, which has been described as desperate attempts by the ruling party to intimidate opposition supporters come election time.
Academic and political analyst Dr Davidson Mugodzwa said although the announcement of by-elections is long overdue, the polls are likely to shock the Mwonzora outfit, while Zanu PF stands a chance in rural more than urban areas.
“The by-elections are late and the government has been hiding behind Covid-19 but now because of pressure they now say they are holding them. Indeed they are a litmus test for both Zanu PF and MDC-T.
“Mwonzora is going to be shamed by the electorate come next year. I will expect however rural areas to go to Zanu PF as they are dominated by the peasantry,” Dr Mugodzwa said.
Another political analyst Dr Wellington Gadzikwa, said the by-elections will show whether parties have support they purport to have and for Zanu PF they will likely bring out the depth of the factional fights within the party.
“The by-elections will bring out the factor of who is who, especially in Zanu PF where there are purported factional fights.
Dr Gadzikwa said the ruling party might be trying to lure the electorate in preparation of the by-elections but it may be not be received as it is leaving out a big chunk of the population.
“Zanu PF may be promising civil servants bonuses in United States dollars, as well as other benefits for war veterans, but then what happens to the ordinary electorate, where their vote lies?” Gadzikwa said.
The Mwonzora outfit has been battling an array of legitimacy issues, recently being entangled in a violent incident that involved a former Dr Thokozani Khupe aide Kudzanai Mashumba.
On the other hand, Nelson Chamisa’s recent tour seems to have reinforced his eagerness to retain his position in politics, with his recalled councilors, legislators and senators renewing their hopes for a return when by-elections come.
The electorate, especially urbanites are waiting eagerly to see how both Zanu PF and Mwonzora’s MDCT will wiggle their way out of the intensifying pressure by-elections are likely to bring.

Woman killed in crocodile attack

Fredrick Moyo

A woman from Ngoveni village under chief Tshovani in Chiredzi recently died from a crocodile attack while fishing.
The incident took place on Novermber 3, 3021 at around 1300 hours, when Gladys Tsunduka Muhlava (65) and other women went to Bodzwa stream for fishing.
Masvingo Provincial Spokesperson, Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa confirmed the incident and encouraged members of the community not to fish in crocodile infested water bodies.
“We encourage members of the public to avoid fishing in crocodile infested water bodies as they might get attacked,” said Dhewa.
Sources said while they were fishing, other women went to a garden and left Muhlava at the stream fishing with Union Zemucha (age not given) using a mosquito net.
Whilst the two were fishing, the crocodile attacked Zemucha, biting her on the arm.
Zemucha remained calm and then told Muhlava that she had been bitten.
Muhlava then ran out to the riverbank where she picked up a log so that she could rescue her partner by hitting the crocodile that then jumped towards her, gripping her from the back before disappearing with her into the waters.
Zemucha who suffered multiple deep cuts on her right arm and palm then ran out of the water and told others what had transpired before going to Chiredzi District Hospital for medical attention.
On November 4, 2021, police visited the scene and found the body of the deceased floating and villagers recovered the corpse.
Muhlava’s body was found with the right arm amputated, her left shoulder bone crushed and deep wounds on the upper part of the body and at the back.

Is Chinamasa against ED?

Forgive me dear readers, I once said this muna 2018 paya but people didn’t believe me thinking kuti I am mad, now I am sure maakuzviona. The 2018 election promises were mere political lip servicing. Hanzi kuchenesa nyika yese kuti ngwee nemagetsi kkkk. Haa yedu nhamo is not a matter of life and death, it’s totally bigger than both. Hanzi brace for more power cuts, ladies and gentlemen. Hameno henyu imi vasina kujaira, isu we are already used to the situation. Sometimes being a destitute pays in Zimbabwe, you will even emulate us and some of my colleagues in town kuti zvavo zvabhadhara, to them whether kune magetsi or hakuna it’s the same.

Where is the CEO of this country zvinhu zvichidai, he promised us jobs jobs and jobs, he promised free education, he promised Magetsi but have fulfilled nothing.

I just hope that this toothless ZACC will do something, maybe up there kumakata but apa they can’t fail, if they do then we are doomed. At least they should just show us they are capable of doing something.
Can someone please tell Mr Bin Chinamasa to stop it, he should just stop it, if he is smoking surf or flour he just has to stop it and help Zanu PF to uphold the country’s constitution. We need by-elections in Zimbabwe as stipulated by the constitution. A number of people are struggling to get reference letters because their councillors were recalled by crazy Mwonzora and his allies. Now Chinamasa is saying by elections is a waste of resources. How many resources have you squandered nhaiwe Bin Man. Under normal circumstances, the likes of Chinamasa would be concentrating on their farms, which they grabbed from the white farmers and ruined down. Dai muchitorima nePfumvudza contributing to national food security zvirinani. Busy busy kuda kudzvanyirira the populace of Zimbabwe on their right to vote. Takachionera kudhara chimaths chenyu nanaMwonzora ichi so please we are watching you this time hakuna iyoyo. If you are sincere about wasting state resources, why are you letting corrupt ministers walking scot-free? Vana Mupfumira, Rushwaya, Chombo, Obadaiah are the ones wasting state resources vachidya nyika vamwe takati vavava but vakaitwei. Now we have anaTagwirei, the Mnangagwa sons vachiita kudya rifa renyika while the rest wallop in poverty. If you are sincere, pay our teachers. Mari yacho mukuda kuiisepi, at least tell us that you want to pay workers tingatombonzwa. If you will defeat the opposition then just go for elections and prove it. Taking more than hundred people for a summit is wasting state resources not by-elections. Travelling with a motor cade of more than 50 fuel guzzler vehicles to commission Marula plant in Mwenezi is wasting resources. The list is endless and if by-elections is a waste of time then similarly the 2023 will be a waste.
Speaking of by-elections, I heard Controversial and staunch dialogue supporter Killer Zivhu is not going to stand as an independent candidate as has been said by a number of people. Hanzi I was bred in Zanu PF so I cannot go against its candidate. But Zivhu so kkk. I really don’t know what he is made of, he is more than a chameleon. Nhasi he is praising Chamisa, mangwana ED, haaa unobva washaya paari chaipo.
Civil servants please don’t be fooled by being promised bonus in US, they want to hoodwink you into voting for them, remember 2023 paseri apo.

Let’s respect the Germans guys, vakatipa a lot including an ambulance so please make sure Mucheke river is free from sewerage and oils from the industries so that we have better smell at Kennen Park.
