The City of Mutare has emerged the winner of maiden
Multi-City Challenge Africa competition which was an initiative aimed at
tackling urban life problems affecting African local authorities through
extensive citizen participation.

City of Mutare has made history by being the first local
authority from Zimbabwe and Southern Africa to win the challenge after
contesting against other cities including Kano of Nigeria, Kampala Uganda,
Accra Ghana and Bahir Dar Ethiopia.

Speaking during the virtual award ceremony which was held on
Monday (February 22), Mutare City Council Multi-City Challenge coordinating
committee chairperson Kimberly Sithole commended the competing cities for
teamwork saying Africa has what it takes to be a global giant.

“Congratulations to our fellow cities including Kano,
Bahir Dar, Accra and Kampala for working as a team. That team spirit showed
that Africa as a continent has all it takes to rise and stand as a global giant
in every aspect.

“I implore African cities to implement the challenges
at local and national levels so as to set the precedence that urban challenges
can be solved through citizen participation.

“It’s time for us to draw up the implementation matrix
of solutions that were selected. Local government speaks to the people at
grassroots level hence people from all sectors of the political economy came
out to give ideas be it universities, private and government organisations,
men, women and youths. It was a wonderful journey and learning curve,”
said Sithole.

Mutare City Council spokesperson Spren Mutiwi told TellZim
News that the local authority is on a process of engaging the winners so as to
map a way forward on how to implement their ideas.

“We won in Urban Resilience and Informal Sector
categories. The recognition and selection of Zimbabwean ideas as the ideal ones
in solving the local authority challenges is a cause for celebration.

 “We are now
working on meeting the winners so we can formulate a working template.
Afterwards we will then embark on the implementation process and we hope the
funding will be indicated then,” said Mutiwi.

Project director for Local Authority Database Systems (LADS
Africa), a startup under the Harare Institute of Technology, Tererai Maposa was
one of the awarded city winner for Mutare through a solution dubbed Informal
market analysis using geo-referenced transactions.

Speaking during the award ceremony Maposa said that they
proposed a mobile app for Mutare City that allows nomadic vendors to capture
all their transactions.

“Every transaction captured will be geo-referenced so
that we can do data manning in that application. This will enable City Council
to come up with some intelligence that informs the authority on where to
install markets for a particular segment of vendors.

“The mobile application will be downloadable on Google
Play. In basic terms the idea we are proposing is a tool that will enable the
city council to make informed decisions,” said Maposa.

A 21-year-old University of Zimbabwe (UZ) student Patronella
Mabika was the second awarded city winner through a solution titled policy
reinforcements on wetlands to reduce flooding.

Mabika said her proposal was based on how to deal with high
levels of rain in order to avoid flooding.

“Because of the negative impacts of flooding on the
environment, people and infrastructure, it’s best to find ways on how to deal
with flooding.

“Conserving wetlands is the best way to deal with
flooding. It is our duty as citizens to promote wetlands and also use them in a
sustainable manner,” said Mabika.

On the Multi-City Challenge Winners category, Mutare
dominated after two solutions were voted as the best.

Mutare Green Villages an idea pitched by Farm Community
Trust of Zimbabwe was awarded as the second Multi-City Challenge winner.

“The objective of the idea is to build resilient
communities by facilitating access to safe, clean drinking water and
sustainable waste management through renewable energy technologies and waste
recycling,” said Farm Community Trust of Zimbabwe advisor Paul Chimedza.

Dickson David Mhlanga of University of Zimbabwe under the
Department of Architecture and Real Estate was also awarded as a Multi-City
Challenge winner. His proposed idea was called Urban Space-Time: Merging
Sectors of the Urban Economy.

The Multi-City Challenge Africa, is a build-up to the
fruitful implementation of the Multi-City Challenge model in Latin America, the
US and Europe, which provides an opportunity for African city leaders to work
with others by sharing experiences from communities through robust public
engagement efforts across cities.

The prestigious International Cities Challenge was modeled
by a Singapore-based Governance Lab in 2016 and after being pioneered in South
America it was then transformed into a Multi-city Challenge.

The African version provides a platform for public servants
to establish workable solutions needed to resolve the challenges of urban life
through robust public engagement.

The Multi-City Africa Challenge is a citizen participation
initiative organized by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Global
Centre for Technology, Innovation and Sustainable Development, and the
Governance Lab (GovLab) at New York University Tandon School of Engineering.

Zanu PF rubs salt to Chamisa’s wounds
File Picture: Nelson Chamisa

…Chebundo
has always been Zanu PF says Matemadanda

…Mnangagwa
will win by more than 5 million votes in 2023

Upenyu Chaota

While
MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa is down and bruised after two officials
defected to Zanu PF, the ruling party has come out rubbing more salt to
Chamisa’s wounds claiming that the top officials have been in the political
wilderness and have returned home.

Blessing
Chebundo, who got famous for trouncing President Emmerson Mnangagwa in the Kwekwe
parliamentary election back in 2000, was joined by former MDC Alliance senator
Lilian Timveous in defecting to Zanu PF early this week.

The
defection has send shockwaves in the rank and file of the MDC Alliance with
Zanu PF savoring the moment saying the duo has seen the light and others should
follow suit.

Zanu PF
national political commissar Victor Matemadanda, after receiving his first dose
of the Chinese SinoPharm Covid-19 vaccine in Masvingo yesterday (February 24),
told journalists that he was excited that the duo had come back home and it was
a huge boost for the ruling party ahead of the 2023 elections.

“Those
were not defections. I call that people coming back home from the diaspora.
Zanu PF is the home. If someone goes to diaspora and then decides to return
home, you do not ask where they were but you take comfort in the fact that they
are alive and well.

“We are
very excited as a party that people of the caliber of Cde Timveous (Lilian) and
Cde Chebundo (Blessing) have come back home.

“For your
own information, before the formation of the MDC, Cde Chebundo was a Zanu PF
district chairperson in Kwekwe and so it just like home coming so we are very
happy,” said Matemadanda.

He said
the move by Timveous and Chebundo will pave way for others who were still in
the political wilderness to come join Zanu PF.

“This
is going to show some people that are still in the wilderness that home is home
and home is best,” said Matemadanda.

He said
President Mnangagwa will gunner more than the projected 5 million presidential votes
in 2023 elections as more people keep coming back to join Zanu PF.

“The
writing has been put on the wall and it is very clear for everyone that we are
going to surpass our target of 5 million presidential votes.

“Our
message to those in opposition is that come home and home is Zanu PF. Many
people are now realizing that they can no longer stay on the outside and are
flocking home,” said Matemadanda.

Stakeholders react to local football resumption, challenges at hand

Resumption of local football,
activities have been received with mixed feelings by stakeholders who are
calling for more action to be done towards assuring the safe resumption of
action and for authorities to weigh options and assess the situation on
the ground before making a final decision. 

Recently, legislators pressed the minister
of Sports, Kirsty Coventry, to initiate an immediate safe return of football
and other sporting activities which have been on a halt for a year.

Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa)
and Premier Soccer League (PSL) have been pressured by stakeholders, and
recently bowed down to pressure and applied for to the Sports and Recreation
Commission (SRC) for a greenlight to resume action.

The proposal will see PSL action
getting the first nod to kick start ahead of other lower leagues and this will
happen from the top league down to junior development but in different stages.

However, various stakeholders believe
there is more to be considered and done to avoid a decision which may cause
more harm than good to the whole fraternity.

TellZim News caught up with stakeholders
who echoed their sentiments for the local football association (FA) to usher in
a smooth and workable bio bubble concept just like in any other country across
the globe.

Terry
Madyauta (Sports Journalist)

From where I stand, I would want to
believe that no one is prepared from clubs up to Zifa. Of cause there might
have plans but these delays are a clear indication that things are not in their
rightful place. I also think that while people advocate for the return of football,
how will they want football to return? How would you want to foster the return
of football when stadiums are in a pathetic state? The country’s stadia are not
being maintained and have been heavily affected by the incessant rains which
are still being received in the country and continue to pose a great threat.

As for the issue of not allowing fans in
the stadia, this has a negative effect on teams. When sponsors venture into
football sponsorship, they want to market their brands and realize a return.
How then will these companies or corporates market their brands without fans
attending matches, without proper broadcasting partners and proper organization
of things? Without these, the advertising and corporate side of football is
closed which will make it hard for football clubs to thrive.

Advocate
Phillip Shumba (Benefactor and Administrator)

We all know that Zifa received a
massive Covid-19 bailout package from Fifa in hard currency. The cardinal
question clubs are likely to poise to Zifa is “Where is the Money?” Zifa
against such a backdrop would be expected to finance the testing of players,
supply all testing kits to all PSL clubs, finance the training  of clubs and pay Covid-19 compliance  officers, pay referees match fees, bail out
clubs financially. Zifa does not have such finances and the moment Zifa fails
to avail money for some of the above mentioned then the return of football in
the country may remain a dream.

The issue of no fans will further
cripple most of the PSL clubs. These clubs heavily rely on gate takings for
survival. In Zimbabwe it is virtually impossible to run a professional club
without revenue generated from gate takings. Surely a number of clubs may
unfold since the clubs do not have alternative income generating sources. ZBC
should not be allowed to enjoy a monopoly when it comes to coverage of these
matches because competition is healthy for football to develop. In the past ZBC
has on numerous occasions betrayed football fans by failing to beam live
football matches due to technical hiccups. On rare occasions football has been
beamed live the picture quality and sound quality have been very disappointing.
Competition brings about qualitative products. Broadcasters should therefore be
allowed to compete for the good of football and for the good of the soccer
starved fans.

The proposed bio bubble concept is
doomed to fail in Zimbabwe because our economy is in a sorry state, teams will
struggle to meet the financial obligations associated with the otherwise noble
concept. Teams do not have funds to book players into hotels overnight, so come
to think of booking players for the anticipated four to five weeks. Lack of
resources to effectively test players is another impediment, including the lack
of laboratories to ensure efficient testing of samples.

Joe
Kwangwari (Coach)

As a coach I know sport is too
demanding when it comes to finances and looking at our economy it is still
bleeding, it needs a long period to recover and considering this pandemic, we
need a conducive environment for players and every stakeholder. From my own
point of view, I think we need a lot of time to prepare financially. When it
comes to the issue of fans, most clubs in Africa depend on gate takings so if
no fans are allowed in the stadium, I can’t see more than 75 percent of the
clubs surviving or going through the whole season, save for clubs which are
financed by big corporates. It’s not going to be a surprise that we will see a
premature end to the bio bubble which we all know demands more finances.

Our country is different from countries
like South Africa where quite a number of companies are pumping funds into
football. Clubs in the neighboring country select a sponsor of their choice,
they don’t just take a poorly funded deal whereas in our country teams take
anything which is put on the table because they have no choice.

Stephen
Alimenda (Former Dynamos Captain)

On clubs it’s a pity that it’s been
long without training as a group but hopefully the players were following their
training program that they were given during this pandemic. On PSL and Zifa, we
hope they have come with plan on paying referees, police and match day venues. If
football is going to be played in empty stadiums, only few teams will manage to
sustain since many teams do rely on gate takings. It would be good for us as
players and fans are starving football so if ZBC can cover all the matches that
will be good for our fans. I can’t comment much on that because I didn’t see
what was written inside the bio bubble proposal, but all I can say is I hope
that it will not dig much into clubs pockets since our clubs doesn’t have
enough monies to sustain or cover that.

Hubert
Fidze (Masvingo United FC Club chairperson)

Preparedness, we are sitting at zero,
hence, there is nothing talk about. We obviously need time to regroup in terms
of the technical team and players’ identification. We are a community team which
has no financial support at the moment and the little money we get is from gate
takings. If football resumes and fans are not allowed to in the stadium then we
are doomed. Unless the local community wakes up to our
immediate and impromptu call for support, which I believe with the Covid-19
affected economy is a mammoth task, it’s a tough hurdle for us when D1 gets the
nod to start training and playing games. This also speaks to the government and
the corporate world to come onboard since financing the costs which come with
the resumption of football is probably unaffordable at our level.

 …say it is up to individuals to save their
lives

Upenyu Chaota

Minister
of State for Masvingo Provincial Affairs and Devolution Ezra Chadzamira
together with Zanu PF national political commissar and deputy Defense minister
Victor Matemadanda have rallied the people of Masvingo and Zimbabwe at large to
take the Chinese donated SinoPharm Covid-19 vaccine.

Zimbabwe
has rolled out the 200 000 doses of SinoPharm Covid-19 vaccines donated by
China in a phase one which will target frontline workers on voluntary basis.

Speaking
to the media soon after getting their first jab at Benjamin Burombo building
yesterday, Chadzamira and Matemadanda called on all progressive Zimbabweans to
take the vaccine and save their lives.

Zimbabwe
targets to vaccinate about 10 million people to achieve head count immunity
against the Covid-19 disease.

Matemadanda
said Zimbabweans should disregard messages doing rounds on social media
discrediting the effectiveness of the Chinese vaccine.

He said
there are trade wars surrounding the Covid-19 vaccines with each country
fighting to put their vaccine on top.

“What
we are seeing here are trade wars on the Covid-19 vaccines. The Americans are
not happy that the Chinese created a vaccine and are trying hard to make sure
that hey discredit anything that comes out of China.

“It is
unfortunate that some of our people are the ones being used by the Americans to
do a disservice to our country.

“There
are people who are claiming that once you get jabbed, you begin speaking
Chinese. They are making a mockery of their own lives yet it is them who should
survive. It is quite unfortunate that our people are being caught in the
crossfire,” said Matemadanda.

He said
President Mnangagwa and his government have done everything to make sure that
the people survive.

 “President Mnangagwa and his government have
facilitated the immunization of people that want life. But if people are going
to play around with the process of immunization that is up to them.

“People
must get serious if they want to survive. The whole essence of this vaccination
is to save individual lives,” said Matemadanda.

Chadzamira
weighed in saying the vaccine was safe and called on the people from Masvingo
not to be caught up in the trade wars between super powers.

“We
received our first doses of the Covid-19 vaccine and it is safe. We call on our
people to get vaccinated because the life is theirs.

“Vaccination
is an individual decision made by people who want life. The government will
never allow a vaccine that will kill our people,” said Chadzamira.

Masvingo
received a share of 22 000 doses on the Chinese vaccine which is enough to
vaccinate 11 000 frontline workers with each receiving two.

Once
the first dose has been administered, one would wait for 28 days before they
could get their second doses.

Masvingo
journalists were among the frontline workers to receive their first shots of
the Chinese jab yesterday.

 

Flooding: Over a dozen Masvingo houses to be demolished

Flooding: Over a dozen Masvingo houses to be demolished

 

Runyararo West has experienced heavy-floding this rainy season


…climate change,
unplanned urban development in Vic Ranch blamed

Moses
Ziyambi

Around 13 regularly-built
houses in Runyararo West suburb face demolition if assessments being done by
City of Masvingo are completed, TellZim News can report.

Possibilities of the
houses getting demolished come after several households experienced
unprecedented flooding which laid to waste several household items.

City of Masvingo Acting
Town Clerk Edward Mukaratirwa told TellZim in an interview that the houses sat
on the confluence of two waterways such that they are becoming increasingly
vulnerable to many previously-unforeseen factors some of them related to
climate change.

“We are making our
assessments on the possibility of relocating those families to safer ground.
There has been a lot of flooding and those families lost all their furniture as
a result. The houses are located on the confluence of two waterways and a
solution has to be found as a matter of urgency,” said Mukaratirwa.

He acknowledged that
the houses were built regularly with council approval but many adverse factors
had later come into play over the years.

“The houses have been
there for many years and nothing of this magnitude had happened to them. But
due to climate change-related factors and the increase in the amount runoff
from the many rooftops that came up in Victoria Ranch, those houses now
vulnerable,” said Mukaratirwa.

He promised that
council would pay commensurate compensation to all families affected should a
resolution to demolish their houses be made as is widely expected.

“We would definitely
find alternative accommodation for them. It is our duty as a responsible local
authority to make sure that corrective measures are not implemented with
disregard to the welfare of residents. The people affected would therefore be
provided with alternative living spaces that are safer from adverse weather
conditions,” Mukaratirwa said.

From the mid-200s, thousands
of homes sprouted on Victoria Ranch, an old cattle farm on the south-western
edge of Masvingo city, as ruling party-connected land barons took advantage of
government’s antipathy to opposition-controlled urban councils to irregularly sell
vast tracts of state land to desperate home-seekers.

There are barely any social
services provided in Victoria Ranch which lies adjacent to Runyararo West.

The land barons – despite pocketing
millions of dollars from the sale of state land – now seek to transfer
responsibility to the struggling Masvingo City Council which never benefitted from the
land sales bonanza.

Jaboon set for Zanu PF come-back

Jeppy Jaboon

 Upenyu Chaota

The
temperatures outside Zanu PF seem to be going below zero degrees for former
Masvingo provincial political commissar Jeppy Jaboon who is said to be in the
process of tracing his footsteps back to the ruling party.

Jaboon
was caught up in the winds of change that swept across Zanu PF at the height of
political tension between rival factions G40 and Lacoste.

The
highly effusive former political commissar found himself in the jaws of the
crocodile when he openly declared war on then Vice President Emmerson
Mnangagwa, discrediting his competence to succeed the late former president
Robert Mugabe.

After
the 2017 military coup, the G40 faction was send packing with the majority of
its top protagonists skipping the country for safe haven while the remaining
few, including Jaboon, joined the opposition outfit National Patriotic Front
(NPF).

Zanu PF
Masvingo provincial chairperson Ezra Chadzamira confirmed to TellZim News that
Jaboon had reached out to return to Zanu PF.

“Jaboon
reached out and said he wanted to return to Zanu PF. We have no problem with
people coming back home because Zanu PF has a big tent approach.

“We
told Jaboon that he should make an application through his district (Bikita)
who will then forward it to the province for deliberation,” said Chadzamira.

Jaboon
could not be drawn into comment as his mobile went unanswered but sources close
to him said the process for his return to Zanu PF has been set in motion.

“Jaboon
is an asset and comrades in Zanu PF know that. He is a workhorse and delivers
results. When he was provincial political commissar, he carried Masvingo on his
back and the party structures were in safe hands.

“Things
happened and that is the way politics is. This does not mean people become
enemies. Jaboon has made up his mind and is going back to Zanu PF.

“Zanu
PF has always been his home and at the end of the day we all return home. He is
trying to reach out to some of his friends who are still in the system so that
they could help facilitate his return,” said the source.

Zanu PF
has recently fished from the Nelson Chamisa led MDC Alliance with senior
officials Lilian Timveos and Blessing Chebundo defecting.

Water supply restored at Ngomahuru

 

Maryline Katenjele

The
Zimbabwe National Water Authority (Zinwa) has restored water supply at Ngomahuru
Psychiatric Hospital after a lawsuit by the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights
(ZLHR).

The
water situation had become so dire that inmates at the psychiatric institution
had to bath at the nearby Magwagwaza River.

Zinwa
had attributed the problem to power shortages which crippled their pumping
capacity.

Former
Masvingo West legislator, Tachiona Chiminya (MDC-T), through his lawyer Martin
Mureri of the ZLHR, had taken Zinwa, the Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and
Distribution Company (ZETDC) and the ministry of health to court to force them
to provide water at the hospital.

After
water supply was restored, the ZLHR withdrew their urgent chamber application
before Masvingo High Court judge Justice Sunsley Zisengwe.

Ngomahuru
Medical Superintendent Parirenyatwa Maramba confirmed to TellZim News that
water supply had been restored.

“Our
water supply has been restored. We are grateful to everyone who has had an
input in making this possible.

“The
situation had deteriorated,” said Parirenyatwa.

Hosiah Chipanga

…says he has to deliver God’s message

…if Mugabe could unite with Nkomo, why not
ED and Chamisa

Upenyu Chaota

Musician-cum
preacher and politician Hosiah Chipanga has revived efforts to meet and have a
conversation with President Emmerson Mnangagwa, saying that he has to deliver a
message from God which will save the country from turmoil.

Chipanga
told TellZim News in an interview that the country has derailed from God’s path
and was now isolated in a wilderness marked with endless suffering.

He said
the country lost its direction beginning from the days of former president
Robert Mugabe to the ‘new dispensation’ which has done nothing to remedy the
‘curse’ that has befallen the country.

“For
the past 40 years I have tried all means known to me to meet the President of
my country both the late and the current one to no avail.

“It is
true that those with access to tell the President of whoever would want to see
him are, for some reason, or due to the evil spirit of the devil that wants to
see suffer, not conveying the request.

“In
brief, I would tell President Mnangagwa of God’s spiritual advice on how
Zimbabwe can change itself and the world at large for the better,” said
Chipanga.

The Kwachu-kwachu
hit maker said he knew exactly what is needed to be done to get the country
back on track on which the economy will flourish. 

“Imagine
we are millions of people in Zimbabwe but we each have a different talent
altogether though some may appear similar. Each country has its resources
though on the same planet.

“My
point is we as a people did not give these resources to our country but the
country gives them to us and we benefit.

“So by
nature the creator has given different things to different nations. So, if a nation
has been chosen to follow a certain path and through disobedience decides to
deviate, there is no way they reach their intended destination but just lost
forever.

 “The country won’t come out of the wrong track
because it has new people. I know exactly what needs to be done to remedy all
these ills begotten our country,” said Chipanga.

He said
there is nothing other than pride and selfishness that is stopping President
Mnangagwa and opposition MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa from having a
dialogue for the betterment of Zimbabwean lives.

“From
God’s point of view, whoever for whatever reason refuses to associate with
others for the betterment of the people’s lives would upset the creator of
mankind.

“If men
like baba Nkomo (Joshua) and Robert Mugabe would join hands, who are we not to
be united,” said Chipanga.

Gweru ignores poor service delivery, parades new wheels

 

New Gweru vehicles

Tinaani
Nyabereka

Gweru City Council has come
under fire as residents are demanding that the local authority must sell the new
Toyota VX Land Cruiser bought for the office of the town clerk and channel the
money towards service delivery.

The
top of range car, which was commissioned last week, was set to be used by the former
town clerk Elizabeth Gwatipedza before she got fired last year on gross incompetence
and corruption charges.

Council also bought two Isuzu KB single cab trucks
from Casas and Wackdrive at a price of US$26 200 and U$30 500 respectively.

Residents
who engaged some city fathers in a residents-controlled WhatsApp group expressed
concern over the state of service delivery in the city.

“It’s
not fair for council to continue being operated like a tuck shop. Bills have been
hiked to sponsor luxurious lifestyles of individuals in council. Your Worship
(Mayor Josiah) Makombe, we want a listening council despite our different
political thinking. It seems we have moved from being a city of progress to a retrogressive
one,” said one resident.

Eve
Mapurisa Nyikadzino, another resident, said council was supposed to prioritize
service provision especially water which is a basic right.

“How
can they buy such expensive vehicles yet they cannot provide water to their
residents. Water is a basic right and we have been deprived for too long,”
she said.

Gweru
Residents and Ratepayers Association (GRRA) director, Selipiwe Conerlia told
TellZim News that they have always been against the purchasing of the vehicle.

“As
residents representatives our position is very clear. We don’t want the new vehicle
to be used as a pool car. Let that car be sold and be replaced by three utility
vehicles that the city needs.

“We
know that the car will end up being an exit package for some top official and
that is not acceptable. We will therefore not rest; we will approach all relevant
authorities including the Minister (of Local Government).

On
his part, Makombe said all the three vehicles were going to be used for council duties

“It
will not be fair for residents to be shortchanged by having the vehicles used for other jobs not set by council. I urge those in charge to put these vehicles
to good use. The vehicles are meant to ensure the provision of service delivery

“The
Isuzu trucks are part of the contractual obligation with these companies (Casus
and Wackdrive) to service Mkoba 21 and Randolph suburbs. We hope our partnership
will yield positive results for Gweru,” said Makombe.

VP Sexmore-hadi must resign


It has
been long since we last heard from Covid-19. Nhai Covivi, Covildo ukasha hwako
hwakatopera here. You had embarked on a long walk to freedom and you were
striking the right chords, knocking on the right doors and sending shivers down
the spines of the lootocracy. Zimbabweans were patiently waiting but
unfortunately the wait has come to an end because China Virus vaccine is here.
Yes, they created the virus and are now donating the vaccine to others so that
they can see its efficacy. I hear many Zimbabweans expressing concerns over the
China vaccine saying heee ko kana tikachekereswa what what but let me tell you
something, the vaccine is not being forced on anyone okay. If you want the
vaccine just go and get jabbed, the rest we will deal with it later.

Of
course Mapombi will not be receiving the Chinese jab because my immune system
is ok plus eating maputi and rotten bananas has saved me from a lot of diseases
including Covid-19 iyoyi. I cannot afford hand sanitizers or soap to wash my
hands but Jehovah is my shepherd and I shall not want. Mwari haangambondipi
nhamo mbiri bodo. I hear some people saying that the vaccine is safe because
they saw VP Chiwenga getting jabbed, the first Zimbabwean to be administered
with the Chinese jab. Ini saMapombi I only saw Chiwenga getting injected but I
am not sure what was in that syringe. Do you guys honestly believe that
Chiwenga akabaiwa iyo vaccine yakabva kuChina? That was just a kiss the baby
moment meant to hoodwink gullible Zimbos. China vaccine nekusava safe kwayo
kuya yotopihwa a whole VP pasina akana kumboitwa any efficacy tests kkkkk.

I want
you dear readers to get me right on this one, I am not saying people should not
get vaccinated against Covid-19 but we should be sure of the vaccine we are
giving to our people. How can we just trust the Chinese and administer their
donated virus ahhh sorry vaccine to our people without carrying out the
efficacy tests. Remember this vaccine being donated by the Chinese is not the
vaccine of choice in China. The Chinese are using inonzi Sinovac yet isu vari
kutipa Sinopharm isingadiwi kwavo. Is everyone following me here? Now, why
would Zimbabwe risk Chiwenga into taking the vaccine which is second guessed
from its country? I smell a rat here but again a beggar is not entitled to a
choice. Chiwenga akatobaiwa imwewo vaccine isiri yamuri kupihwa iyi. We need to
see evidence that the jab administered to Chiwenga on that day in indeed the
one donated from China. If they have so much confidence in the donated jab then
we expect to see President Mnangagwa, his wife and his children taking the jab
followed by cabinet ministers, Zanu PF MPs, the judges, all Zanu PF supporters
then isu vana Mapombi kana tagutsikana tozopindawo pamamonya ipapo. Rest in
Peace Soul Jah Love.

I do
not understand why they declared this man a liberation hero but that is a
discussion for another day. What outstanding thing did Soul Jah Love do zvekuti
anopihwa hero status yakanyimwa Tsvangirai? Saka vana Van Choga atori mahero
kana vafa kkkkk. A precedence has been set here and it is going to be very
difficult to deny some of this hero status. Ini Mapombi kana ndafa
munotondikandawo pachikomo ipapo because mukarega ndinomuka chipoko. I think I
also deserve a mausoleum kkkkk. Iyo yakazodii mausoleum yaMugabe iya. That old
man was something else. Akatambisa varume vakuru nhova even in death. I have
nothing against Soul Jah Love but I think the man was hyped so much in death
than when he was alive. That being the case, I think Zanu PF benefitted largely
with Soul Jah Love’s death chiefly because he was the ghetto champion. The
youth vote was being targeted hence the reason why we have a liberation hero in
Soul Jah Love. Zanu PF knows perfectly well that they have failed the youth and
what better way to endear themselves to the disgruntled population ahead of
2023 than getting intimate with the youth ambassador’s dead body.

Can
someone tell me what role VP Sexmore-hadi is playing in this government? While
we are grieving over the loss of liberation hero Chibababa and national hero
Griffith Mpofu, VP Sexmore-hadi vari busy kutsotsonya, kusvasvanga, kukondovota
vakadzi wevanhu muoffice yehurumende. What is wrong with this man? At 71 years
here akomana kkkk. VP Sexmore-hadi atova mucheki mukuru
and all ladies are not safe. That is gross abuse of office and the silence from
the government says a lot. I heard musoro bhangu Nick Mangwana trying to defend
the actions but he was embarrassing himself in the process. There are some
actions which cannot be defended. How do you justify a whole VP sleeping with a
married woman in the office? Ko ukangonyarara zvinodii nhai iwe Mangwana.
Kutungamirwa nemabachura kunonetsa, our women are not safe at all.

Something
has to be done because vakadzi vanopera with this pervert. VP Sexmore-hadi
havana base zvekuti vakutoshandisa office yehurumende kkkkk. I know our beloved
VP havana mukadzi kumba but why would he want to go after married women? There
are plenty of single women out there who would give anything to be with the VP
though utano huchiratidza hahwo kuti hwakatarangana. Discretion is very
important when playing this game. I hear the three boys running this country
are all bachelors. Ehe ED is included ipapo kkkk. Auxillia makambomuona
achigara pasi here. She is always travelling around the country running away
from her husband. Nekufamba kwaanoita kuya munoti ED anobikirwa nani? The only
difference here is that ED and Chiwenga are more discreet and vanoita madeals
awo from hidden corners. I think most man are found wanting on this issue but
what separates them is the ability to do so discreetly.

VP
Sexmore-hadi has failed in this regard and has brought shame upon the office of
the Vice Presidency. The only thing left to do here is resign. Why continue to
stay in office after such transgressions? President Mnangagwa must demand VP
Sexmore-hadi’s resignation otherwise we will view him as an accessory to this
treachery. Women should be respected and not abused. Using the office to get
your way and destroy other people’s marriage’s is the worst sin ever. We know
that resigning is not the way we do things here in Africa but sometimes we just
have to say it so that they know that we see what they are doing. VP
Sexmore-hadi please tsvagai base musiyane nekuabuser our office unongomisa
mazigirazi. I have said enough regai ndinokanga hangu maputi angu for lunch.
Mboko imboko.
