Mthuli must be crazy, very crazy

 Many people believe that Mapombi is crazy but nhasi regai ndikuudzei zvangu one munhu wandinofunga kuti anosaya. I know the guy is very powerful that he can instruct the police to arrest me or those guys in cheap nylon suits and dark glasses kuti vandiite rough but I don’t care. Yes, I don’t care because kusiri kufa ndekupiko nhai veduwe? 

Nhai Mbuya Nehanda nyakasikana, isu vana vamakasiya todya nhoko dzezvironda ivo vachidya rifa rayo nyika. Mapombi really miss our late VP Muzenda. By the way I heard that Great Zimbabwe University neglected kwaVaMuzenda kumaR where we turned into a heritage site. But Prof Zvobgo munodarireiko nhai veduwe? We saw you running around in 2016 painting the house and the surroundings ndokutobva maita kwakaenda imbwa ndokwaenda tsuro zvokwadi? I thought GZU would maintain kwaVaMuzenda because that’s their main niche but eeeh. I think Zvobgo is serving his last term and very soon there will be sanity in our city kwete zvekusweropenderwa town yese green and cream. I think if given an opportunity he can even paint the whole Chitima green and cream zvokwadi. 

Anyway, enough of Zvobgo and kwaVaMuzenda asi vakuru vakati shoko harivhikwe vanonzwa vatonzwa. Mapombi wants to see some action at kwaVaMuzenda. We want to remember him because of the work he did as Vice President.  Whether he was not so intelligent or not Mapombi don’t care much about that. Let us remember him.

By the way, I heard that the country is facing electricity challenges and massive loadshedding is looming.  Kkkkkkk ndakambozvitaura izvi vamwe vakati ndinorwara pfungwa. This new dispensation is a joke. It’s a dry joke I tell you. They know nothing, ndotoona sekuti Skilled rebhara ndiye ega ari nane. I mean this guy who was accused of bleaching mhani gore riye rechimfana ichi chava kuMDC ichi kkkkkkk. Our Chiwenga is doing much better; he is bringing vaccines – Sinopharm, Sinovac and now I heard Sputikin V what what ko ndinombogona kunyatsoridana here zita racho. He only needs to make sure that skilled rebharazi and nurses are paid handsomely anenge atopedza zvake basa. 

Chiwenga must be ED’s running mate hamuzvionewo? Aaah by the way, ED amended the constitution so that there is no running mate clause oooh shame, my poor Chiwenga kuita kuvharirwa panze kudaro? But hazvina hazvo mhosva Mwari ndivo vanoziva. 

But this is not fair Cdes; honestly we cannot amend the whole constitution simply because of one person. Mr President you may have succeeded to push Amendment number two but let me assure you that kumagumo kune nyaya. Mapombi was there at the Showground in 2016 when Masvingo province sang the song kumagumo kune nyaya during Zanu PF conference. Let me emphasise again that kumagumo kune nyaya.

So I wanted to talk about this professor who is not only crazy but very crazy. Prof Mthuli kana paine mbanje dzamunosvuta or whatever you eat or drink please tipeiwo. The guy lies with a straight face. In fact I feel sorry for him because demon reZanu rekunyepa rakaita kumumbundikira chaiko and rakamubata zvine samba. Mapombi would like to invite Pastors to pray for Prof Mutuvi nekuti zvokwadi mweya yetsvina yamubata zvine simba. 

Mapombi saw a video where Mthuli was being interviewed saying the government has a deep pocket izere mari kkkkkkkk baba vangu iwe mushaya mutupo ko chamakafira kuhondo chiiko zvokwadi? Mthuli said, “the pocket is very deep and zvakarongeka” kkkkkkkkkk mukati hachipengi here chimurume chiya? Kkkkkk which pocket is deep nhai Mthuli? Zvakarongeka kupi? Civil servats are crying every day kuti tiwedzereiwo shoma shoma zvayo so kana zvakarongeka vapeika mari yacho. The roads are in very bad state can’t you use the money to improve roads network nhai Mthuli? 

Zimbabweans are not asking for many things, we are saying pay civil servants decent salaries and improve our roads network chete chete. Since the government’s pocket is deep uye zvakarongeka we demand improved living standards for ordinary citizens. Mapombi survives on rotten bananas nemaputi every day but someone is busy bragging that zvakarongeka kkkkkk musazodaro vakomana mugaro mwena uyu ndotokuudzai. Ask Chombo if you think I’m joking or lying, Zvichapera.

Anyway, its lunch time let me go ndindokanga zvangu maputi angu for lunch. But before I go vakomana chandoi chiriko gore rino umwe unofa chete. I’m humbly appealing for donations dzemagumbezi hangu because kwedu kuChitima uku ummmmm kwatonhora. So Mapombi was also thinking about our elderly at the Mucheke Old People’s Home and our kids at the Alpha Cottages; can we spare a thought and assist them during this winter.

Mapombi is thinking of running a campaign #Make A Donation This Winter where I’m inviting everyone to drop his or her old clothes, jerseys and blankets at TellZim offices. The clothes will then be donated to the elderly and less privileged kids in town. I will talk to my bosses at TellZim so that they can take up this campaign. Let us assist our less privileged. Mapombi is not saying buy new clothes; but those clothes that you haven’t been wearing for months or years now; bring them so that we can give them to those in deed. 

Many of us are good at blaming nekungotukirira Zanu PF asi kubatsira chaiko havagoni even kupa hembe dzausisapfeke chaiko munhu anenge achida kungodziona dziri mumba. Veduwe let us learn to assist each other, we are one nation. One love!

But ukaonawo zvangu iniwo Mapombi mupengo zvake achifungawo zvakanaka kudai ko kuzoti imi henyu vasvinu? I know some would resist simply because it was said by Mapombi kkkkkkkk. Let me go and have my maputi lunch and some rotten bananas. But I would like to appeal to our pastors to pray for Mthuli because unenge ava kumhanya bani chaiko. Kkkkkkkk hanzi the pocket is deep and zvakarongeka hahahahahahaha chimurume ichi chinopenga chete kkkkkk haaa chinondisetsa ini. 

Haaa Mthuli imboko chaiyo. There is no difference between him and Mphoko kkkkk. Koi ye aripiko these days Mphoko kkkkkk haaa nyika yakatakura chokwadi. Mboko imboko

Lorac International comes to Zimbabwe
Lorac Healthcare international founder Carole Nyakudya

 Kimberly Kusauka 

Lorac International, a United Kingdom (UK) headquartered organization officially opened its first branch in Zimbabwe last weekend and is expected to create employment opportunities for locals.

Lorac Healthcare international was founded by a Zimbabwean-born entrepreneur Carole Nyakudya, who specializes in mental health and social care recruitment agency for the UK job market. 

In her launch address Nyakudya said the opening of a branch in Zimbabwe opened the window for commencement of applications by interested and qualified personnel.

“The setting up of a Zimbabwean branch opened a window for recruitment and all the application  processes are being done online since we are in a Covid-19 pandemic situation,” said Nyakudya.

The opening of a Zimbabwean branch was part of the company’s expansion drive occasioned by the recent granting of the sponsor license by the UK government to the young and thriving business. 

Nyakudya said the launch of Zimbabwean branch granted Lorac International the leeway to recruit skilled health care staff outside its headquarters and anywhere else in the world.

Her legal and financial team took the opportunity to explain the application process and how successful candidates will secure necessary travel, immigration documents and preliminary training before assuming their new roles. 

Nyakudya who is also a gospel musician chronicled how the Lorac HealthCare brand was established in 2013 to render mental health and learning disability service, mainly targeting minors and the youth.

She also took the opportunity to share her life story and how she grew up from a humble background in the Wedza area near Chitungwiza before relocating to the UK in 1997 after completing her advanced level education.  

Nyakudya said she has a vision to develop Africa through Lorac International so she transformed it into a group of five companies which include Lorac Holdings in Johannesburg, South Africa and Lorac Holdings which is into charity work as well as Lorac Media.

She believes that she was born to make an impact and create possibilities for other people especially employment creation in Africa and meeting the needs of UK in terms of job supply and demand.

“I believe I was born to make an impact and create possibilities for other people. My vision is to make a positive impact in Africa through employment creation and supplying UK with workers,” said Nyakudya.

Lorac International organization has other branches in South Africa, Uganda and Ghana.

Chiredzi new Covid-19 hotspot

 TellZim Reporter

A Covid-19 catastrophe may be looming in Chiredzi District following an upsurge of positive cases throughout this week in what may trigger a third wave of the pandemic in Masvingo Province.

Speaking to TellZim News, Masvingo Provincial Medical Director Dr Amadeus Shamhu on Saturday ( June 12)  said investigations were underway to ascertain the cause of the worrying increase in positive Covid-19 cases.

“We have launched investigations after noticing the increase in number of positive cases in Chiredzi and we are waiting for the results.

“Right now it is not clear what is the cause of the sudden rise of these cases and we do not want to speculate,” Shamhu said.

Masvingo Provincial Covid-19 Taskforce spokesperson Rodgers Irimayi said the sudden increase of Covid-19 cases could be attributed to the current sugarcane harvesting period, with many people coming from different places into the local compounds.

“A lot of people are coming in from different places, and those coming from outside are dominating the number of cases, so we think that may be the cause.

“Such a situation is difficult to control because those people will only test positive once they are already in the compounds,” Irimayi said.

Some of the positive cases however are coming from local companies, with five employees from the Cotton Company of Zimbabwe testing Covid-19 positive on the same day late this week.

Meanwhile, the situation at Bondolfi Teachers College has gone back to normal after all the cases tested negative, with students being released to go to their respective homes.

Devolution Funds: Runyararo West clinic receives $3 million
Acting Town Clerk, Engineer Edward Mukaratirwa 

Terrence Ndowora

City of Masvingo will channel $3million of its first share of 2021 devolution funds towards the completion of Runyararo West Clinic, a project that had been stalled due to lack of funding, TellZim News can report.

Acting Town Clerk, Engineer Edward Mukaratirwa revealed during a full council meeting held on May 31 at the town house. 

Mukaratirwa said the local authority hoped to complete the clinic by end of this year after receiving some devolution funds amounting to ZW$44million recently.

“Last week we received about $44 million from government under the devolution program and $3 million of it will go towards completion of Runyararo west clinic project. We hope to have it completed by end of this year,” said Mukaratirwa.

Mukaratirwa said council had been failing to complete the project due to lack of funding, as it suffered from financial challenges due to poor revenue collection.

“Our plans were to build the clinic using revenue from the beer levy, but it was not enough because the economic environment hasn’t been good,” said Mukaratirwa.

When complete, the project will give Runyararo West residents an option closer to home and will reduce congestion at other council clinics.

Recalled MDC Alliance Councillor for Ward 3, Tarusenga Vhembo recently told TellZim News that he was excited the project he initiated will finally be completed. 

“I was in the middle of constructing Runyararo West clinic when I was recalled and this affected progress of the project. I am happy that a resolution to make sure that this project is completed this year has been done,” said Vhembo.

Masvingo Darts Association raring to go
MPDA Secretary General Vincent Muzenda

Courage Dutiro

Following the Covid-19 induced hibernation of sporting activities for over a year, Masvingo Province Darts Association (MPDA) said they are now ready to roll following the Covid-19 protocols which were set by the National Darts Association of Zimbabwe (NDAZ) and the Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC).

Speaking to TellZim News, MPDA Secretary General Vincent Muzenda said the province is now ready to resume games when they get the greenlight to use their proposed venues. 

 “As Masvingo we are now ready for the resumption of our league following the stipulated Covid-19 rules and regulations. We expect to start the games as soon as inspection of our venues is done,” said Muzenda.

Currently, the province has seven registered clubs with six suitable venues which are Rujeko dart room, Railton Club, ZRP Zimuto Camp, 4 Brigade Hall, Mutimurefu dart room and Bikita Minerals Hall. 

Muzenda added that clubs who might  not have suitable venues for their home games, will have to choose among the six venues for their home games.

Ndaz president Meynard Moyo said as the mother body, everything which is required from them by the SRC is in place. 

“We have been given the green light to start our trainings. As the national body, we went down to our affiliates so that they give us proof of their compliance and readiness so that we let them start. 

“We want them to write their COVID 19 response strategies and we would prove them after inspecting their venues and if their strategies are in sync with the Government and WHO COVID 19 protocols we will let the begin their respective leagues.

“Each province has to give us their preparedness before we give them the go-ahead to start. As we speak Masvingo is one of the few provinces that have given us their road map and we will be inspecting their venues soon,” said Moyo.

In a memo written by MPDA to Ndaz, the association promised to follow all regulations and that they were ready for venue inspections. 

“Each club must ensure that players adhere to covid-19 playing regulations i.e. ensuring that players properly put on their face masks, sanitize themselves at the entry point, do not hug or shake hands during playing. A maximum of 12 players per club will be allowed at any given time and a record book indicating for name and contact details of every person/player who will be at the venue must be produced. 

“It has also been agreed that venues must be sanitized before every game with club covid-19 focal point person taking a lead in ensuring that this happens. Players will not be allowed to drink in the playing halls as this might allow them to remove their face masks and might not even remember to put them on.

“By way of this memo, we kindly request your high office to come and inspect our venues and our preparedness to resume the game that we love so much,” reads the memo.

Water crisis hit Nemanwa

George Chimwayange 

The Zimbabwe National Water Authority (Zinwa) has been battling with pump breakdowns and electrical faults that has left the people of Nemanwa Growth Point going for nearly three weeks without running water.

Residents have been calling upon Masvingo Rural District Council to drill a borehole for them to ease the water crisis, which is exposing them to waterborne diseases since they are now resorting to fetching water from a local stream.

When contacted for comment, Masvingo Rural District Council (RDC) Chief Executive Officer Martin Mubviro said council was equally concerned about the water crisis and in their engagement with ZINWA, the later had said they electric challenges were affecting their pumping capacity.

“We are also concerned about the situation but we have engaged ZINWA and they said their pumps were not broken but electrical faults were a major challenge, ” Mubviro said. 

ZINWA spokesperson Marjorie Munyonga said they are working on recovering a new electric motor which was damaged and the water that they had stored is no longer enough for all residents. 

“We are trying our best to get a new electric motor as to provide water to the Nemanwa residents. By end of this week residents will be able to get water,” said Munyonga.

A residents group, Nemanwa Residents and Ratepayers Association (NERRA) has submitted a letter of complaints to Masvingo Rural District Council (RDC) citing the unavailability of water which has put residents at risk of waterborne diseases.

The organization wants Masvingo RDC to drill boreholes for residents so that they avoid going to Munzviru stream to fetch water for domestic use.

Masvingo receives Fire Tender donation from UK firefighters

…council to pay over 10 000 British Pounds 

Veeslee Mhepo 

A United Kingdom (UK) based charity group, Operation Florian has donated a Fire Tender to City of Masvingo, a move which will see the local authority increase its fleet to three. 

The city fathers who had an option to choose between a DAF and Volvo fire tender opted for the DAF Fire Tender. 

A report by Acting Director of Engineering Services, Kudzaishe Mbetu revealed that Council will meet a total of 10 500 British Pounds in shipping and transportation costs from the UK up until the Fire Tender reaches Masvingo.

“The council is required to pay shipment costs that amount to 10 500 Pound Sterling from UK to Walvis Bay in Namibia. Fire truck from United Kingdom costs 6 500 Pound Sterling, request donation of truck cost 2 500 Pound Sterling and fuel costs or Insurance of 1 500 British Sterling,” reads the report. 

Masvingo’s two Fire Tenders are currently grounded and are being repaired in Harare and Masvingo respectively according to a report from the responsible department.

“The current fire trucks in Masvingo are malfunctioning, the Volvo AAE 8001 is not operational and was undergoing transmission repairs at Auto World in Harare. The Hino AAE 5723 was reported not operational after a wrong clutch master was supplied,” further reads the report. 

The donation is expected to help improve efficiency and effectiveness of the city’s fire section. 

Council has been blamed on numerous occasions for not being efficient in their response to emergency situations which need the Fire Section. 

Operation Florian is a charity set up by British firefighters to save lives overseas by donating reconditioned fire engines and emergency equipment to help improve emergence services.

Council fails to move buses to Mucheke

Council fails to move buses to Mucheke

Long distance buses loading at Old Croco motors

Kimberly Kusauka 

Nearly two weeks after Masvingo City Council resolved to revive Mucheke Rank and immediately move all buses operating from undesignated points, nothing has materialized so far.

Masvingo City Full Council resolved that all buses should use Mucheke Bus Terminus starting from June 1 but there has not been any enforcement yet, with buses still loading in the CBD. 

Speaking to TellZim News, Masvingo Mayor Cllr Collen Maboke said there were issues to be resolved between municipal police and Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) so they can work together to enforce the resolution.

“We did not fail to implement the resolution to move buses from the CBD to Mucheke rank but there are issues to be resolved between municipal police and ZRP and l assure you that it will be done by end of this week,” said Maboke.

Masvingo Service Delivery Residents and Ratepayers Association (Masdrra) secretary general Moses Mavhusa said he thought that the resolution to move buses to Mucheke rank, if enforced, would benefit residents through revenue income because there will be accountability but it was now taking too long.

“We welcomed the resolution that all buses move to Mucheke rank seeing that it would benefit us through revenue collection since there is accountability at the terminus, but right now we wonder if there are people benefiting from the disorder since the resolution is not being implemented. 

“If resolutions are agreed upon they should be followed but we are yet to get any information from the council. Council is taking too long to implement that resolution because there is no change,” said Mavhusa.

Masvingo United Residents and Ratepayers (MURRA) spokesperson Godfrey Mtimba said revenue collected at Mucheke rank could be used towards service delivery projects like addressing the perennial water woes Masvingo has been experiencing.

“The resolution to move buses to Mucheke rank was a noble idea since council was going to generate income which they could use in other service delivery projects like water augmentation, but they seem to have abandoned such income generating projects.

“They only rely on rates paid by residents and this is why they were hiking rates lately, but they are not implementing resolutions that can actually help them. It’s only on paper, yet we want them to walk and talk by enforcing their resolutions,” said Mtimba.

Masvingo Residents Forum (MRF) Chairperson Brighton Ramusi said the resolution was a failure and shows that councilors in Masvingo are no longer representing the interests of the electorate who voted for them since they did not consult the residents.

“The resolution was a failure from the onset since council did not involve the residents. It is going to be difficult for people travelling from Gutu and Zaka who will have to look for another mode of transport from Mucheke to the CBD.

“Council should rather forget and stop their plans to construct a terminus at Exor as they indicated, but should establish termini in the outskirts of the CBD. They can upgrade and modernize these temporary terminuses so that residents are not affected,” said Ramusi.
