Zanu PF factions: The situation reaches another level in Masvingo

…Mnangagwa, Chiwenga in fierce battle to control provinces

…ED plots to make early party elections date announcement soon

TellZim Reporter

 MASVINGO – “Ladies and gentlemen the situation in our country has reached another level…,” said the late army General Sibusiso Moyo while addressing the nation during  the November 2017 sanitized coup which resulted in the ouster of former President Robert Mugabe.

The Zanu PF factional fights between Generation 40 (G40) and Lacoste then, forced the situation to reach another level with the latter, which supported Emerson Mnangagwa, successfully ousting Mugabe through a military-backed take over. The emerging factions and ever-growing tension in Masvingo if not well managed is definitely leading to a situation more or less the same as November 2017.

Those who care not to remember the history of politics and factional fights will be quick to dismiss the possibility lest they are reminded of how Masvingo has been the mastermind of many successful political settlements in both the ruling party Zanu PF and the biggest opposition,  Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).

Masvingo therefore plays a pivotal role in the political matrix of Zimbabwe. The late Mugabe knew this and that was the reason he employed the divide and rule tactics choosing the late Simon Muzenda as vice president ahead of Jonas Mudadirwa Zvobgo. Muzenda was docile and senile – he was more of a stooge, no wonder why he spent most of his time rehearsing poems like Nehanda Nyakasikana forgetting to develop the province or even his rural home in Gutu.

On the other hand, Zvobgo was ambitious, too vocal and more importantly the voice of reason for Masvingo Province. Because Mugabe had chosen incompetence and loyalty over reasoning, two serious factions then emerged from Masvingo, passed on from one political generation to another and ultimately resulted in his ouster in November 2017.

Political factions are a sign of illness in a party; we have seen this in Zanu PF as early as the turn of the millennium when Dzikamai Mavhaire publicly demanded that Mugabe be relieved of his duties and go! Similarly, when Morgan Tsvangirai was chased away by Joubert Mudzumwe, Robson Mashiri and team at Masvingo Civic Centre in 2005 leading to the MDC’s split, the same year.

Thus Masvingo is the kingpin in the political matrix of any political party in Zimbabwe and whoever controls this province will eventually become the ultimate winner. Because of this reason every sensible politician would want to control Masvingo province and this is the battle between Mnangagwa and his deputy Constantine Chiwenga now. Though no one in Zanu PF leadership would agree that there are factions in the party, the current developments in Masvingo bear testimony that there are factions threatening to tear apart the party.

Masvingo is so fond of factions and dirty politics that most of the time politicians are engaged in caucus meetings trying to find ways of out-manoeuvring each other. However, factionalism has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery in our politics thereby leaving our society very divided and warring factions wanting to devour each other.

Zanu PF is going to have its elective congress in December next year where the party is expected to elect new national executive. The provinces are already preparing for their elections ahead of the congress, with all the leagues including the main, youth and women assemblies’ elections are expected to be held by this October latest, and this is according to reliable sources in Zanu PF.

These sources said ED is ploting to announce this date soon so that he manages the party from further divisions.

However, it is the main wing elections that have exacerbated the formations of factions in the province. So far, there are four candidates that are said to be readying themselves to battle it out for the position of provincial chair.

The most interesting of the four, however is the battle between Ezra Chadzamira and Robson Mavhenyengwa. The two are current chair and vice chairperson of the province respectively. Chadzamira is fronting for a faction loyal to Mnangagwa while Mavhenyengwa is said to have shifted allegiance to Chiwenga. Sources within the ruling party revealed that there is now serious tension and that it is going to be dog eat dog come the elections.

“The activities that are happening in the province are very telling that we are heading for interesting times. Factions are being created; some are forging alliances while others are dividing as we prepare for the elections ahead of the congress next year. We now have two clear factions, one supporting President Mnangagwa and the other one backing VP Chiwenga,” said one Zanu PF provincial member.

Four names have been thrown in the hat so far, and reliable sources have revealed to TellZim that all the four candidates are busy soliciting for votes and elections are expected to be conducted no later than October this year.  Of the four candidates two are said to be posing real threat and these are Chadzamira who is backing Mnangagwa and Mavhenyengwa allegedly supporting Chiwenga.

Ezra Ruvai Chadzamira

Chadzamira is the current Masvingo provincial chairperson who doubles as the Minister of State for Provincial Affairs. He is seeking re-election but is likely to face stiff competition from Mavhenyengwa who is from a rival faction. The other two candidates, Clemence Chiduwa and Rtd Major General Gibson Mashingaidze lack what it takes to compete for honours therefore talking about them is mere waste of time. Chadzamira was elected chairperson during the peak of G40 and Lacoste factional wars when he thwarted the G40s preferred candidate Rtd Colonel Mutero Masanganise in 2017.

Masanganise was Mugabe’s preferred candidate but Masvingo dumped him for Chadzamira sending a clear message that they were backing Mnangagwa for presidency. Masvingo made it clear that it will never be intimidated or coerced into voting someone they do not want.

At some point Chadzamira, Lovemore Matuke and other Lacoste faction members were publicly denounced and humiliated by Mugabe and the G40 cabal, but they remained resolute and determined. They fought tooth and nail with the G40 until they prevailed. President Mnangagwa rewarded Masvingo by appointing more than five ministers from the province including Chadzamira and Matuke in 2018. However, a lot has happened between 2018 and now to an extent that the once united Lacoste faction is now heavily divided with some shifting their allegiance from Mnangagwa to Chiwenga. Of course no one publicly admits to the existence of these factions in Zanu PF just like during the period of G40 and Lacoste when both factions claimed loyalty to the then President.

Chadzamira therefore, has lost some cadres who backed him in 2017 but certainly he has also managed to forge new alliances as he has remained consistent in supporting Mnangagwa. Backing him so far is Matuke, Ministers Winston Chitando and Yeukai Simbanegavi, Women’s League chairlady Amai Mhlanga, Pupurai Togarepi, Masvingo, Chivi, Gutu and Zaka districts. He is also being backed by over 15 MPs in the province.

Chadzamira told TellZim in an interview that they are working tirelessly to ensure that the Mnangagwa and the party win resoundingly in 2023 general elections. He downplayed the issue of factionalism saying those who plan against Mnangagwa are planning to fail.

“President Mnangagwa has managed to resuscitate the economy; implemented a lot of developmental projects under devolution and unlocking investment for our country. He has managed to unite people regardless of political affiliations and because of his clear vision we are fully behind him. Those who are plotting against him are surely planning to fail,” said Chadzamira.

“Elections will come and go; after that we remain Zanu PF so I don’t see the reason why fellow cdes are betraying the struggle by plotting against President Mnangagwa. I want to encourage the province to remain united and rally behind President Mnangagwa. For now we are concentrating on building the party until our leadership announces the dates for the elections,” Chadzamira added.

Reliable sources in the party said Chadzamira is still maintaining grip in the province as five districts, except Bikita and Chiredzi, are fully behind him.

Robson Mavhenyengwa

Mavhenyengwa is the current vice chair for the province. He was co-opted early this year replacing Allies Baloyi who was appointed Chiredzi RDC chief executive officer. There is no love lost between Chadzamira and Mavhenyengwa as the latter was an alleged G40 loyalist before Mnangagwa came into power. Mavenyengwa is said to have then crossed the floor to join Lacoste faction after his G40 fellows (Jeppy Jaboon, Walter Mzembi, Daniel Shumba and others) started to support Phiona Riekert to take over his constituency. Phiona had lots of resources and Mavhenyengwa opted to cross to Lacoste because of frustration. Fortunately for him, G40 lost the battle and Phiona was eroded, a development which saw Mavhenyengwa retaining Zaka North Constituency in 2018.

Mavhenyengwa was then co-opted to become vice chairperson following Baloyi’s resignation. However, checking his history of flip-flopping, it is not surprising that he now allegedly shifted allegiance to Chiwenga. He has since forged alliance with Gutu DCC chairperson Brian Munyoro and Gutu West MP John Paradza who is also vying for the youth league’s chairmanship. Munyoro called for a meeting in Gutu recently soliciting support for Mavhenyengwa and he is said to have managed to convince Paradza after dangling the youth league post.

Mavhenyengwa is also reported to have forged a holy alliance with Mwenezi West MP Priscilla Zindari-Moyo who is also eyeing to chair the women’s league. Amai Zindari–Moyo is the wife of Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) Director General Isaac Moyo. Mavhenyengwa being a former policeman seems to be getting all the support from anyone related to or with interests in the security sector.

However, Mavhenyengwa is facing challenges to fully penetrate Zaka district as he is clashing with the DCC chairperson Clemence Chiduwa who is also the MP for Zaka East. Chiduwa is alleged to have humiliated Mavhenyengwa at one of the meetings with the war veterans in the district when he publicly denounced Mavhenyengwa saying he was now selling out President Mnangagwa.

“Chiduwa openly said pasi naMavhenyengwa nekuti wakapandukira President Mnangagwa and that did not go well with the Zaka North MP. He asked Chiduwa to withdraw his words but he denied prompting Mavhenyengwa to take up the case to the Provincial Coordinating Committee (PCC) meeting,” said a war vet from Zaka.

Mavhenyengwa is said to have demanded Chiduwa to apologise for his alleged utterances during a PCC meeting but sources said he refused and maintained that Mavhenyengwa had sold out the President.

Mavhenyengwa confirmed the development but vehemently denied being aligned to any faction. He said it boggled his mind how Chiduwa, whom he described as someone who came yesterday, would stoop so low that he thinks anyone who has interests to contest for any position in the province will be selling out.

“He (Chiduwa) told war vets that I have sold out simply because I am said to be interested in contesting for a particular position in the province. For your own information, I do not belong to any faction as they allege but I support our President and the party. I do not want to drag the names of our national leaders in these factional fights,” said Mavhenyengwa.

“We started supporting the President before he even joined the party and Chiduwa only came recently after 2018 elections. I am busy working for the party as a provincial member and my constituency so I expect him also to concentrate on working for the party as the district chair and his constituency. We stand guided by the party and the party has not announced yet so there is no need to talk about the elections for now,” Mavhenyengwa added.

Minister Davis Marapira is also believed to be supporting Mavhenyengwa because they do not relate very well with Chadzamira. Mavhenyengwa and Marapira are alleged to be covering a lot of ground in Zaka where they are reportedly undermining the authority of Chiduwa who is in charge of the district.

Clemence Chiduwa

Clemence Chiduwa is the MP for Zaka East and the deputy Minister of Finance and Economic Development. Chiduwa was elected MP during by-elections held in 2019 following the demise of Calisto Ringisai Gumbwanda. His Curriculum Vitae (CV) was initially rejected during the Zanu PF primaries in 2018. However, he was later accepted and contested the by-elections.

Chiduwa is then believed to have used his strong links with Christopher Gwatidzo, the principal director in the Office of the President to get appointed as deputy minister of finance. Gwatidzo and Chiduwa are tight buddies and their friendship dates back to the time they were lecturers at the Midlands State University (MSU).

At a meeting allegedly held in Chivi and chaired by Josiah Hungwe, Chiduwa is said to have initially agreed to contest for the chairmanship and some sources in the party confirmed the development.

“Chiduwa is in the race; he called me recently and said if you see my name on the ballot paper for provincial chair elections please vote for me. I think he is new and untainted therefore stands a better chance to win the election. Of course others are sceptical saying he is new so he must give those more senior to him a chance,” said another party source.

However, considering that his friend Gwatidzo’s relationship with Mnangagwa has since soured and is no longer having the same influence as he used to have as before, Chiduwa is likely not going to contest for the chairmanship. It would be best for him to maintain the relationships and alliances he has in the province than to ruffle feathers.

Chiduwa however, allegedly made it clear that he was not interested in contesting for the chairmanship saying he is rallying behind Chadzamira and President Mnangagwa. He is reported to have said he will not be swayed into supporting anyone else who is not loyal to Mnangagwa.

 

Gibson Mashingaidze

 

Major General (Rtd) Gibson Mashingaidze from Bikita is also said to be interested and is being backed by his home district and Chiredzi. Sources also told TellZim that Mashingaidze is backed by Rtd Lt. Gen Engelbert Rugeje who also hails from Bikita. Mashingaidze appears to be a very sensible person, very quiet and well-disciplined former soldier. It is difficult to accuse him of any wrong doing. However, his biggest challenge is that he is a perennial loser having lost several elections before. Bikita district is generally weak and that is one reason only a single MP was appointed deputy minister since 1980.

His backers are also being accused of fighting the Lacoste faction especially the MPs in Chiredzi who were said to belong to the G40 cabal then. Their decision to support Mashingaidze is allegedly because they do not want to align themselves with a faction that is known to support Mnangagwa. Rugeje is also said to be bitter with Mnangagwa following his unceremonious dismissal from the position of national political commissar hence his decision to support a faction loyal to his former army boss Chiwenga.

Mashingaidze is more likely to withdraw his candidature towards elections because besides him there are no other candidates to fill other positions from his faction. Chances are very high that the Bikita team will eventually join the Mavhenyengwa faction.

Indications are that the contest will eventually be between Chadzamira and Mavhenyengwa.

Chadzamira and his Mnangagwa faction seem to be in control at the moment.

The rift between Mnangagwa and Chiwenga is said to be widening every day and whoever manages to control the provinces might strike gold at the party’s national elective congress in December next year. Let us wait and see.

When factionalism becomes hot, many supporters become spectators; they will sit in the stands and watch the factions fight. At the end they will choose, wanting to associate themselves with the winning team. We saw it during the G40 – Lacoste factional fight and we are going to see it again during these emerging factions. Let us watch and see how it goes!

Command Covid-19 vaccination and the doctrine of separation of powers

…Executive and Judiciary in conflicting stances

Emmanuel Chitsika

The post cabinet briefing on September 14 regarding government position on baring unvaccinated churchgoers from attending services a few days after a High Court ruling nullifying the decision by Cabinet to do so has raised many questions than answers on the political landscape, especially on the doctrine of separation of powers in a democracy.

Government’s decree follows an application to the court by human rights lawyer Obert Kondongwe challenging the constitutionality of the move by government to out-law church attendance to unvaccinated congregants.

“The statement issued by the Information Minister Monica Mutsvangwa on the 11th of August on behalf of government following a cabinet meeting on the compulsory Covid-19 vaccination of sit-in congregants in churches and barring unvaccinated sit-in congregants from churches is null and void to the extent that it infringes constitutional rights and freedoms set out in the declaration of rights under sections 51, 52, 58 and 60.

“Arising from the foregoing paragraph 1 of this order, any purported ban on unvaccinated sit-in congregants in churches and any arrests or criminal proceedings of unvaccinated sit-in congregants of churches enforced by Home Affairs Minister Kazembe Kazembe is unlawful, null and void and of no force or effect and are set aside,” read part of the court ruling.

On September 14 government defied the court order and ordered unvaccinated congregants not to attend church services which has drawn the subject of democracy into play as the two arms of state namely the Executive and Judiciary are showing conflicting positions.

Political commentators say the move by government to place emphasis on the position to bar and criminalizing church attendance shows how far the Second Republic has gone in violating democratic principles.

Political analyst Dr Wellington Gadzikwa said government has violated the principle of separation of powers in a democracy, which is characterized by their defiance of a court ruling.

“The government has clearly violated the principle of separation of powers by issuing a directive that goes against a court ruling. What they should have done was to appeal against the court ruling.

“This action is not surprising though as the new dispensation has done this before. This move erodes confidence in both the judiciary and the trust by citizens that the law cannot protect them since the executive can do as it wishes,” said Dr Gadzikwa.

Great Zimbabwe University Media and Society studies lecturer Dr Last Alfandika said there is no rule of law in Zimbabwe but rather there is rule by law as the executive simply imposes itself on other arms of state.

“In Zimbabwe we do not have a rule of law, but we have a rule by law. Whether the people like the law or not, that does not concern those who have imposed the law.

“What they simply want is what they have imposed to be followed through and through. But this clearly erodes the doctrine of separation of powers as you are saying because when courts make a pronouncement, whoever is unhappy with the pronouncement must make take the necessary steps such as appealing against the decision or any other available legal route, not to comment at the state level that the decision was improper, or it was unfair,” said Dr Alfandika.

He also said that the executive would always prevail over the judiciary as the latter is expected to uphold what the former wants.

“This means that in Zimbabwe what the government wants must be upheld by the courts and that is the reason why some judges get fired. If a judge gives a judgement that is against government, that judge’s days are numbered.

“They want judges who are pliable, who do what the government wants at all costs, so at the end of the day there is no rule of law but there is rule by law. The doctrine of separation of powers is trashed and in the end, we see government being the judiciary, legislature and executive at the same time, yet in a democracy the three pillars of state must exist differently. I think this incident is unfortunate, legally irrational and improper,” he added.

Government also announced the barring of unvaccinated civil servants from their work places until they are vaccinated a decision reached at on September 14, 2021.

Commenting on the development Public Service Secretary Ambassador Jonathan Wutawunashe said the commission would implement decision by cabinet regarding unvaccinated civil servants.

“The Public Service Commission will implement the Cabinet decision by directing government ministries to ensure that only vaccinated personnel report for duty and interact with the public they serve. This is against the backdrop of a significant majority of civil servants having already been vaccinated.

“Government ministries will also facilitate personnel who missed opportunities to be vaccinated to be vaccinated in the immediate term to enable them to report for work. It is hoped that we will achieve 100 percent vaccination coverage in respect of civil servants all of whom have been categorised as essential staff within the next few days,” said ambassador Wutawunashe.

So much has been said and done concerning the vaccination programme with a host of issues propping up as government tries to work towards achievement of Herd which, immunity that is the vaccination of 60 percent of the national population.

However factors like unavailability of the vaccine at most centres due to administration challenges, vaccine hesitancy based on myths, shortage of human resource at most health centres around the country among others will likely hinder the set goal come December 2021.

MoHCC to conduct phase 3 clinical trials for 14-17 yr olds vaccination

MoHCC to conduct phase 3 clinical trials for 14-17 yr olds vaccination

Kimberly Kusauka

 The Ministry of Health and Child Care is going to conduct a phase 3 clinical trial to include children from 14-17 years in the vaccination program as part of efforts to reach the national herd immunity by December 2021.

On September 6 all schools opened doors to pupils for the resumption of lessons which had been stopped as part of precautionary measures to curb the spread of Covid-19 and the whole nation was placed on level four lockdown but learners are back at schools without being vaccinated.

There are already positive cases being recorded in schools as the pupils return from a very long break due to Covid-19.

MoHCC Public Relations Officer (PRO) Donald Mujiri said the Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe (MCAZ) gave a conditional authority for vaccination of children which entails the health ministry conducting a phase 3 clinical trial first before rolling out the vaccination program.

“Right now MCAZ ordered MoHCC to conduct a phase 3 clinical trial before including children from the age of 14-17 in the vaccination program so that the Ministry starts vaccinating the pupils,” said Mujiri.

He also said the Ministry is in the process of implementing the conditions ordered by MCAZ as soon as possible so that vaccination program for pupils aged 14-17 commences in schools.

“The Ministry is at the moment in the process of implementing MCAZ’s conditions and once that is complete the roll out program will begin in schools,” he said.

Phase 3 clinical trials will see the rolling out of Sinovac vaccine to children aged 14-17.

In Masvingo province 65 pupils had tested positive to Covid-19 at various schools in Gutu District by September 15 2021, as well as nine from Kriste Mambo High in Manicaland province hence the need for government to speed up the vaccination program for pupils from the age of 14 to 17 to keep in check the looming disaster in schools.

Masvingo Provincial Medical Director (PMD) Dr Amadeus Shamhu confirmed the cases and said they are waiting for a directive from MoHCC.

“I have received reports of pupils testing positive to Covid-19 but we are yet to receive a circular from the ministry to include children from the age of 14 to 17 in the vaccination programme.

“For now we urge both teachers and pupils to abide by the Covid-19 regulations of sanitizing, masking up and maintaining social distancing in their schools so that they do not contract Covid-19,” said Dr Shamhu.

The safety of school learners remains a bone of contention among various stakeholders with teachers’ unions accusing government of neglecting the welfare of learners by opening schools hurriedly and with little or no proper protection equipment in place in public schools.

Is Mapeza a perfect fit for the big job?

Is Mapeza a perfect fit for the big job?

Leslie Karumbidza

Football fans in Masvingo have expressed mixed feelings over the appointment of Norman Mapeza as the interim coach of the Zimbabwe senior man football team.

Speaking to TellZim News, Tauya Moyo a Warriors fan expressed optimism that the fortunes of the senior national soccer team will change as he sarcastically said ‘the gaffer is back in office where he belongs’ and hopefully the winless spell shall come to an end.

“It is very interesting to have the gaffer back in office. Tracing his records and experience, l greatly recommend him as the right candidate for the job. If Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) can provide what he needs, he will definitely take Zimbabwe football far. Personally, l am delighted for such a development and l believe Mapeza can deliver,” said Moyo.

Desmond Makaza, another Warriors fan echoed Moyo’s sentiments saying Mapeza is the right man for the job and he will utilize on local talent scattered across the country.

“Mapeza is one of the best local coaches in Zimbabwe and he has vast experience in the football world both internationally and locally which makes him the right man for this job. He knows the local talent scattered across the country which he will use to beef up the squad. l would want to think he personally refused the fulltime job and took it as interim due to the way Zifa treated him last time,” said Makaza.

Talent Tinarwo had a different view on the appointment and said nothing will change as the current leadership is just old wine in a new bottle as he claims the Zifa board itself is the major problem contributing to the run of poor results.

“I do not see the need to celebrate the appointment of Mapeza as interim coach. He was once hired, the team was delivering and unfortunately, he got fired. The problem is not with the coaching staff but the entire Zifa board itself and it should be dissolved as it has failed the nation,” said Chimombe.

Mapeza takes over from Croatian Zdravko Logarusic sacked over the weekend following a spate of poor results since taking over as Warriors coach,  only being able to win one  in 14 matches

Mapeza will oversee the remaining World Cup qualifiers campaign with a back-to-back fixture against the Black Stars of Ghana looming above the horizon.

ZIFA also appointed Taurai Mangwiro as his first assistant, Mandla Mpofu as his second assistant and Energy Murambadoro as Goalkeepers Coach.

Mapeza has been given a three-month contract.

The remaining World Cup qualifiers will be against Ghana, South Africa and Ethiopia in the next two months.

Zimbabwe is currently ranked 108 on Federation of International Football Association (Fifa) world Rankings.

Councils rot: Parliament unleashes ZACC

The Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Public Accounts on September 10, 2021 grilled several local authorities which had issues raised in Auditor General (AG) Mildred Chiri’s 2019 report, with some being ordered to immediately present themselves to the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) for investigations.
The oral evidence sessions, which were chaired by Chegutu West legislator Dexter Nduna with the assistance of Masvingo Urban legislator Jacob Nyokanhete saw some of the local authorities being ordered to present themselves to the ZACC which also had representatives in the meeting.
Nduna told the local authorities that disciplinary measures were going to be taken especially on local authorities who did not take the AG’s report seriously, with Masvingo City Council being told that they were to present themselves to law enforcement agents for utterances they made in the media.
“This time there is no free lunch and action is going to be taken. Masvingo City Council made public proclamations and reckless statements in the media against the AG’s report and they are going to be held liable.
“May they present themselves to law enforcement agents at the end of this meeting, and if they fail to do so, the law enforcement agents will have to go and pick them up,” said Nduna.
Masvingo City was also grilled on the issue of parking fees paid in forex which were not banked, with Town Clerk Engineer Edward Mukaratirwa telling the committee that the person involved had already tendered his resignation at the beginning of investigations.
Nduna then questioned Eng Mukaratirwa why council management did not report to police after they found the person liable to the alleged offence when the police station was just a kilometer from council offices.
ZACC Commissioner Thandiwe Mlobane who was in the session then asked Eng Mukaratirwa to report to ZACC instead.
Nyokanhete also asked Masvingo City Council to present to Parliament full list of council debtors with leases and total amount owed to the local authority, after AG in her findings noted that at the time of audit, there was no lease register with details showing names of tenants and duration of leases.
In the 2019 audit report by Chiri Masvingo City Council was charged with several charges among them failure to make amendments which led to fraud losses, lack of control over fuel withdrawals, failing to deposit parking charges in South African Rand as well as spilling raw sewage into rivers and streams leading to Lake Mutirikwi, the city’s source of water.
Masvingo Mayor Councilor Collen Maboke once said the individual involved in the failure to bank parking charges was identified and under investigation while council dismissed from work the one involved in fuel scam though he appealed against the charge by approaching the Magistrates court.
“On the failure to bank parking charges, we have identified the individual suspected to be involved and the case is still under investigation.
“Those involved in the fuel scam were identified and dismissed from council though they have since approached the Magistrates court for an appeal,” Maboke was quoted in TellZim News story in June.
Mutare City Council, which was flagged in the AG’s report for initiating write-offs worth ZW$1 175 793 with no proper documentation in 2015 was also asked to present themselves to ZACC.
Gweru City Council’s Nemuseso told ZACC during the session that there were issues that they reported but were not satisfied by how the anti-graft commission is handling the matters.
Speaking to TellZim News after the session, Nduna said Parliament was going to use ZACC and police to get back what councils lost through misappropriation of funds.
“The evidence in some cases left a lot to be desired and lacked depth but we have ZACC and police going after the state resources and public finances. We are armed with the Public Funds Management Act, the regulations of the same Act and the Criminal Law Codification and Reform Act.
“We also have the constitution Section 316 in our quest to get back what councils have lost,” Nduna said.

‘It Is Not Just Loga Alone’

Clayton Shereni 

 

MASVINGO– Zimbabwean football fraternity has for the past few months been engulfed in a series of debates surrounding the quality of Warriors head coach Zdravko Logarusic who has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Logarusic promised to change the Warriors fortunes for the good but insisted that he is not ‘Messiah’ when he was unveiled at a press conference in Harare on February13.2020.

“I am not Messiah, I do not know everything. I have something but I have to take the best from you and we can put it together to create something, that is what is important for me,” said Logarusic at his unveiling.

Indeed his poor record of results has proven the truth that he is not ‘Messiah’ but the worst thing that has ever happened to Zimbabwean football.

He also failed to bring order to the dressing room but rather his assistants turned their backs on him and allegedly sabotaged him for his failure to bring unity of purpose to the team.

The Croat’s track record is crystal clear, he is a total failure both when managing clubs and national sides but Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) ignored all that and appointed him Warriors gaffer.

From his days at Gor Mahia (Kenya), Simba SC (Tanzania), Asante Kitoko (Ghana) football clubs and the unceremonious departure as Sudan national team head coach, arguably there were no two ways the Croat would bring something to smile about for soccer-loving Zimbabweans hence not the right man for this job.

The association has been defending Loga with everything in their arsenal and even crediting him for guiding the nation to the rescheduled 2021 Total Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) finals to be played in Cameroon from January 9 to February 6 2022, a claim that the whole nation know is a blue lie.

Loga took over from Joey Antipas when the team had garnered four points and he came in adding four points.

Zifa kingpins have been defending a shoddy job that has seen the team going for 14 games with just one win against the less threatening Zebras of Botswana.

In the upcoming Fifa rankings Zimbabwe are most likely to be ranked their all-time lowest, all this is not the Croat’s fault, but individuals at Number 52 Livingstone Road who have been putting a ‘wall’ protecting the clueless gaffer for reasons best known to them.

Loga is probably the first underperforming coach to last this long even though it is evident that he is a total failure and worst to ever coach the Warriors.

His continuous reign at helm of the Warriors in open defiance to a public outcry from fans and other critical stakeholders for his ouster is a clear sign that a certain cabal within Zifa is running the show.

Although his departure was long overdue, the cancer that has been eating the world’s most beautiful game is still there and it is within Zifa.

Someone could be sweeping the dirty under the carpet instead of taking it to the dust bins.

The leadership at the association’s ascension to power was tainted from the day when they took over the reins from Philip Chiyangwa through ‘unscrupulous’ means which have seen Zifa president Felton Kamambo appearing before the courts to answer for alleged bribery charges.

It is alleged that he bribed his way to the top, an allegation that he vehemently denies blaming football politics to be the major drive behind the case.

With no doubt, a Mafioso which does not care about the pride of this nation and face of the game to the cooperate world is running Zifa.

Even if the world’s best coaches or tacticians; Pep Guardiola, Thomas Tuchel, Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti are tasked to take over from Loga, they are destined for failure under the current Zifa leadership.

Contacted for comment, Friends of the Warriors Secretary General Zivanai Muwashu said the chances are now very slim to break the World Cup jinx and called upon the association to look into the current crop of local coaches.

​

“The coach has failed and as much as we would want to exercise sympathy but the results are not forthcoming and there is nothing special about Loga. We have tried foreign coaches and it is time to turn to local coaches,” said Muwashu.

Commenting on factors that are leading to poor results, Muwashu said there are many things to blame for the poor results and urged stakeholders to go and re-strategize ahead of the upcoming fixtures.

“There are many factors that have contributed to the poor results starting with government itself. In other countries, national teams are the assets of the state, other governments fund or subsidize activities of the national team. A lot has to be done and it is a mountain to climb if we are to qualify for quarter. We have to go back to the drawing board as stakeholders and avoid making decisions based on emotions,” said Muwashu.

A total overhaul of the association can be the only solution to end this Zifa madness that has been rampant for quite some time.

Reckless utterances by Zifa officials have done more harm than good and this maybe reason why the association has failed to lure continuous funding from individual and cooperates in the country.

Some have even gone into an overdrive to rubbish fans emotions over the poor show exhibited by the Warriors under Loga’s tutelage.

ZIFA board member and chair of the Technical and Development Committee, Bryton Malandule in July this year after Zimbabwe shamefully crashed out of Cosafa tournament said it was the association’s sole duty to recruit or dismiss a coach.

“The hiring and firing of the coach is prerogative of the Zifa board, with recommendations from the technical committee. We will, however, meet to review performance of the team at Cosafa upon submission of a report by the coach,” said Malandule.

This came after fans protested demanding the head of Loga on a platter following a poor show at the Southern Africa soccer showpiece that the Warriors previously dominated.

However, for warriors fan William ‘Gunman’ Mahoko feels Zifa has to pull up its socks and ensure transparency prevails on the recruitment of coaches.

“I do not know the criterion which is used by Zifa administration when employing coaches. A contract should be performance-based. The coach has gross incompetence; he is taking our national football nowhere. Loga must go; we need a local coach like Norman Mapeza. Zifa should not employ foreign coaches because of white skin (sic), next time they should scrutinize the curriculum vitae first,” said Mahoko.

With Zimbabwe occupying bottom position in Group G with just a point from two games, a herculean task awaits the one who would take over from Loga considering the tough encounters against the Black Stars of Ghana unless if some sort of magic is employed.

Warriors will face Ghana in a back-to-back fixture during the next international break and odds do not seem to be on their side unless ‘Football Gods’ decide to favour them.

Local coaches have been rotating and some names being thrown into the hat have had their fair chance but still failed to produce the much-needed results.

With the continuous incompetency and alleged interference in player selection, it will be just a matter of time before anyone who gets the top job is fired for producing poor results.

Zaka Teacher Sleeps In The Open For Six Days

Brighton Chiseva

 
ZAKA – A teacher from Zaka will rue the day he decided to transfer to another school, after he was forced to sleep in the open for six days as school head refused to accept him saying his place had already been taken by someone.
Sources privy to the incident said  Israel Dube processed his transfer from Machiva to Panganai Primary School earlier this year and was supposed to assume duty in June, but failed to do so because of the Covid-19 induced lockdown.
He however, managed to process the assumption of duty with the school deputy head but could not move in because schools were closed.
“He went and did the assumption of duty process with the school deputy head but he could not move to this school because of temporary school closure cause by the lockdown. When he finally went to the school, the Head told him that there was no place for him saying it had already been filled by someone who had been referred from head office,” said the source.
The School Head is alleged to have instructed other teachers not to house him and he was left stranded since he had no money to transport his belongings back to Machiva.
“He had no money to take back his belongings; he had to put up at the verandah on one of the houses at teachers’ cottages where he slept for six days with his all his belongings.
“Luckily he had not traveled with his wife and kids since he wanted to settle in first before they come. He was rescued by a delegation of district inspectors who had gone to the school for routine inspections,” said the source.
It is alleged that the Inspectors called Zaka District Schools Inspector (DSI) Samson Chidzurira who then asked them to pack his belongings in their car and accompany him back to Machiva his previous school.
Other sources said the problem started with the centralised recruitment system, which was introduced where all the recruitment processes were done at the head office.
“The recruitment process is now centralised in Harare at the head office, district and provincial offices can only deal with transfers and other related issues. So because of corruption which is prevalent in the process, people from the head office just send people mostly their relatives who would come for only one year probation period before going back to their respective home areas,” said another source.
However, Panganai Primary School Head Sylvia Mangezi refuted allegations that they denied him temporary accommodation saying he was offered one but he refused.
“We did not deny him temporary accommodation. We refereed him to the deputy head’s house who invited him to put up in his house but he refused,” said Mangezi.
When contacted for comment, Zaka DSI Chidzurira said he was not aware that he had been sleeping outside saying he only know that someone referred by the head office had occupied his place and they had to reverse he transfer.
“We had transferred him to that school because of some issues; however, his place was taken by someone who came from head office. So when I learnt about the issue I had to send a car to take him back to Machiva and that is where he is now,” said Chidzurira

Storm Brews At Gokomere CPS As Parents Report To ZACC

…Special Audit report exposes gross mismanagement of school funds

 

Theresa Takafuma
Over 150 parents with children at Gokomere Central Primary School (CPS) have reportedly approached the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission to report mismanagement of school funds against the Responsible Authority and administration at the Catholic-run institution.

A special audit reportedly carried out between May 31 and June 8 2021, which covers the period from January 1 2020 to May 31 2021 has exposed that the school has been running without a functional School Development Committee(SDC) since 2018, going against Statutory Instrument (SI) 87 of 1992 which stipulates that the SDC should be elected every February.

The parents who levelled allegations of mismanagement of school funds against Gokomere CPS Acting Head Mhangarai Masakadza, together with the Priest In Charge and later attended an exit meeting on August 26 2021 when the audit report was presented, are saying they want those implicated to face disciplinary action as per protocol.

Taurai Marava, one of the parents said although the disgruntled parents were invited to attend the August 26 meeting, they still want Masakadza and Fr James Magadzire to face the law because some of the findings of the audit call for criminal prosecution.

“What is happening at Gokomere is infuriating. We pay money so that our children live and eat well while they are learning at the school, not for the administration and responsible authority to divert the funds to personal use.
“The audit is very clear; recommendations should be followed as a matter of urgency and we need those found wanting to face the law. They should be arrested if need be, because the conditions in which our children are living show that we are only paying for the responsible authority to enjoy our hard earned money,” Marava said.

Contacted for comment, Masvingo Catholic Education Secretary Father Samson Mutsvanga referred questions to Vicar General Father Francis Nyatsanza.

“Diocese spokesperson is Father Nyatsanza, I am sure you have his contact so you can call him on that issue,” Fr Mutsvanga said.

Fr Nyatsanza said the issue had already been finalized and they were in the process of implementing the recommendations made by the auditors.

“That issue has been finalized because an audit was carried out and we are implementing the auditors’ recommendations. Auditors came from Harare and did the audit and we laid the issue to rest,” Fr Nyatsanza said.

In the audit report dated June 16 2021 availed to this publication, groceries worth over ZW$300 000 were bought from school coffers sometime in 2020 through the point of sale (POS) swipe card and were never delivered to the boarding kitchen.

“ZW312 116.59 in school fees and levies was spent mainly for groceries (including colgate, sauce chilli) which were never delivered at the boarding kitchen. The Head claimed that the goods were bought for Responsible Authority although there were no documents from the Responsible Authority requesting for or acknowledging receipt of the goods.

“Withdrawals totaling ZW$152 065.47 were also made but there were no supporting documents which made it difficult to establish the beneficiaries. There was no record for the movement of the swipe card introduced and failed to identify the individual who used it,” read part of the audit report.

Masakadza is quoted in the report saying the groceries were surrendered to the Priest’s kitchen and were for feeding visitors who would come for various workshops.

Auditors then recommended that the head was to present a comprehensive account for groceries not delivered to the school and locate the missing documents that support the over ZW$150 000 that was withdrawn through the POS within 14 days.

“The head should be called upon to present a comprehensive account for the groceries not delivered to the school and locate the missing documents supporting the ZWL152 065.47 withdrawn through POS for audit examination within 14 days. Failure to acquit on these transactions calls for appropriate action,” read the report.

The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education allows the Responsible Authority of non-government schools to get 10 percent of the total levies collected from learners each term as a development levy for the use of its facilities.

Findings in the audit report however were that parents’ claims that the mission was getting more than the 10 percent levy they were entitled to could not be dismissed, with auditors accusing the mission of draining the school fund account through inter-departmental transactions.

In one example given, the mission reportedly made the school to contribute stock feed worth ZW$9835 for a mission poultry project, after which the former made the latter to buy the chickens produced at market value.

The complaining parents confirmed that they had approached the District School Inspector (DSI) and Provincial Education Director (PED)’s offices to seek reprieve, but not much was done to assist them.
Masvingo DSI Ishmael Chigaba said he was aware of the issue, but was in no position to comment.

“I can confirm that something is going on and something was done, but I cannot comment before the bosses speak, so you can go and see the PED,” Chigaba said.

Acting PED Shylatte Mhike said she was aware of the issue and said she had sent an audit team to the school after some parents had complained, and had not yet received the audit report as she was in Mwenezi.

“I sent an audit team to the school after some parents had complained, but I can no longer remember when exactly. I am in Mwenezi for work, I should have given you the full details. I am yet to receive the audit report from the auditors that I sent,” Mhike said.

Some of the parents however said Mhike attended the August 26 and was aware of the audit findings.
A parent who spoke on condition of anonymity said of all the issues they raised, the one about the SDC was the most critical saying as it stood, there was no parents input especially on fees increase.

“Even after the audit recommendations stated that an SDC was to be put in place, this is not the case. On the fees issue, they just sent us three figures to vote on without even giving us a budget.

“They increased fees by ZW$11 000 from ZW$24 000 to ZW$35 000 without giving us the budget and we refused to pay, so on Monday (opening day) they denied our children entry into the hostels, after which we ordered our kids to go inside while we sorted our issues with them,” she said.

Another parent who said she was catholic therefore could only speak anonymously said when the parents raised the issues about the school admin and responsible authority not following acquittal processes on spending money from school coffers, they professed ignorance.

“How do you not know about accounting protocol if you are in charge of school accounts, yet you spend willy-nilly like that? What they did are criminal offences and in human resources, when such happens, disciplinary action must be taken, which is what we are expecting.

“It is evident that there was abuse of funds, therefore arrests have to be made because that is due process. Ignorance of a law is not an excuse,” the parent said.

ZACC spokesperson Jon Makamure could neither deny nor confirm receiving the report but said he will check with Masvingo provincial office if they had received it.

“I will have to check with the Masvingo office. If they reported a case we will definitely investigate,” Makamure said.

Sources close to the developments said Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education auditors who conducted the audit had already gone to ZACC to have their statements recorded early this week.

Earlier this year, the complaining parents wrote a petition to various authorities calling for intervention on what they called looting of the school accounts by the Roman Catholic Church Diocese of Masvingo at the expense of the pupils.

Resurrect The Economy Not Trains

Nehanda Nyakasikana ko kuchagozova riiniko isu vanyai tichitambura, kuchagozova riiniko isu tichidzvinyirirwa, nhai mweya unoera, inga taneta wani nekunwa  misodzi. Ndafunga hangu Baba VaMuzenda, MHSRIP. I wish he was here to see that paya paaiita detembo rake things were still much better and it became worse and I think it’s now a towel kkkkkk, seka zvako Mapombi. Kuseka nhamo serugare. Mapfumo akaimbawo paya saying “Nyika yamaichemera zvino yaita mamvemve,” kkk but now atova Marengenya chaiwo.

 

What is wrong with our government asi nhai? Why is it so obsessed with old things? Sure how can they take us back to the old systems they once failed to run. Hee? busy kumutsana nezvitima zvakafa kare kare instead of introducing new modes of transport? Ndizvo zvakaita vamutsane naMbuya Nehanda izvozvi vachiita mastatue nekuisa pamari. Are they trying to counter Chamisa’s bullet train mantra? The young man was talking about bullet trains, bullet in terms of shape, speed and sophistication not idzi dzakamborohwa nenyere muhondo. Surely these people have no hearts I think vaakushandisa rwatata. Instead of modernising NRZ and bringing in new locomotives they are busy resurrecting izvo zvakafa kare kare. Hee? Chii ichocho sure? NRZ has been on its knees for a long time now vachifailer kupa vashandi mari chaiyo and all of a sudden yatova kuZupco. Imika, tikwanirei apa. Why risking people’s lives nemigweje iyoyo? Revive the economy first and buy new trains. MaZUPCO buses acho most of them are very old and with this kind of obsession with old and dead things it’s not surprising to hear see them turning Air Zimbabwe into Zupco again kkkk. Svinurai maCdes, the Zupco sticker won’t make an old machine new imi. Takutotyira harahwa nechembere, they are now at risk yekunamirwa maZupco stickers.

They will willingly withdraw and park their vehicles, kwete izvi zvekuswerodzingirirana nevanhu vari kutsvaka mari whilst aiding the government where its failing. Chibasa chacho chorwadza chiya, create employment and see mahwindi ese achisiya izvi vachienda kunoshanda.

I want to say thumbs up to Zifa for sacking Loga, however, he is not the problem alone but the entire Zifa ….

What is going on at the Dead BC? I am sure heads rolled there, sure kurecorder mukuru wenyika achikakamira, cameraman kutoudzwa kuti Cut Cut, kuramba achienda mberi, as if that was not enough, they went on pamhepo for the whole of Zimbabwe to see kkk. Sorry dear readers, not the whole of Zimbabwe but, those few who watch it. I know vazhinji vedu are fed up of one television channel. But wasn’t that an act of sabotage? I think someone was trying to expose mukuru, and if that is true then mangoma ngaatsve, please carry on. But I think this is an act of sabotage chete, remember musangano uri kufukutwa nemafactions. I think someone is out there to discredit mukuru tiri muLevel 2 lockdown kudai and drawing close to 2023. As if that was not enough, they went on to deny us live coverage of the game against the Worry Us and Ethiopia, even vakarohwa zvavo we just wanted to watch them.

Still on the game, I am not a football fan but I think sacking Loga was the only way to go coz iii tange tanzwa kwedu kuchitima vanhu vachipopota about his incompetence. Hanzi he is a clown and fraudster. But he is not the only problem, the problem is with Zifa itself. It’s just a club yekuba mari just like our own police paroadblock. They don’t care about results but their own pockets. I used to think tinorohwa because the boys are not paid well but apa I heard the were promised something but vakarohwa zvakadaro. So the coach, Zifa and the boys are the first culprits tisati taenda kuna Minister of sports and the government. However, Loga ngaabaye tosara totungana dzemudanga. Ko madii mambopa iye Benjani timboonawo kut anodii, zviro zviyedzwa, kana zvazonetsesesa you can call me. I am ready for national duty as a real patriot kwete yekumanikidzwa through patriotic bill.

Before I go zvangu kunokanga Maputi angu for lunch, let me hasten to say this, watch out guys, something is brewing in both Zanu PF and MDC A. Zvese zviri kuda kudambuka zvinhu izvi kkkk, Zanu is leading the game with three factions ahead of MDC-A trailing behind with two.
