Nyika, Bikita Minerals shine at Chief Marozva Tourney



TellZim Reporter
Bikita Minerals – Defending
champions Nyika Netball Team and Bikita Football Team were last week crowned
the queens and kings of the 2019 Chief Marozva Tournament held at Lithium
Stadium.
The
tournament, which is held annually, is a result of partnership between lithium
mining company Bikita Minerals and reigning Chief Marozva, Phillip Mudhe.
Bikita
Minerals CEO, Grant Hudson said he was pleased with the success of this year’s
event, saying it demonstrated the spirit of cooperation between the mining
company and its key stakeholders.
“We
started this tournament as a way of entertaining the youths and the community
at large. The tournament is played by 16 teams, eight in the netball category and
eight in the football category. The tournament is one of our corporate social
responsibility projects.
“Besides
this, we also have other projects in the communities. We are building a clinic
which will soon be opened by the first lady,” said Grant.
In
an interview after the match, Bikita Minerals community team attributed their
continued success to hard work
“This
is our fourth time winning this big tournament. This year, we used our local
players from around the mining area and we did not use our Division One talent.
We are very happy that we managed to defend our legacy using this new young
talent,” said coach Jephater Kuvheya.
Netball
winners Nyaka also credited their success to hard work and solid team spirit.
“We
are very elated that we won this tournament again. Last year, we were crowned
champions of this tournament. The girls worked very hard in this great
tournament so they really deserve this big glory,” said Nyka coach Josephine
Runokunda.
In
football category Bikita minerals won the Chief Marozva trophy after defeating
Mangondo 4-0 in the finals. In netball, Nyika walloped Bikita Minerals netball
team with a huge goal difference.

the title holders were awarded trophies.
After
the tournament, some players with the main Bikita Minerals football team
received their awards which included best player, best goal scorer, and most
disciplined player of the year.
The
Bikita Minerals main football team, popularly known as Lithium Boys, play in
the Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) Eastern Region Division One where they
finished in the top six this season.

Police brutality frighten women off politics, says Mafume

Police brutality frighten women off politics, says Mafume

…‘gender parity
impossible without political will’
Felix
Matasva
MUTARE
– Police brutality against women witnessed during the recent Hope of the Nation
address by Nelson Chamisa in Harare represents the many threats that discourage
female participation in political activities, MDC secretary for election Jacob
Mafume has said.
Speaking during the 2019
National Gender Forum last week, Mafume said the brutality also hindered attainment
of the envisaged 50:50 gender representation in political circles by 2023.
The 3rd annual National
Gender Forum ran under the theme, ‘Consolidating the Strategies: Laying out the
Roadmap for Getting to 50:50 by 2023’.
A number of videos of
police brutality went viral on social media, showing riot gear armed police
indiscriminately beating men and women in Nelson Mandela St in Central Harare.
Initially the address
was scheduled for Africa Unity Square but police denied the MDC permission to
go there claiming that people were likely to abuse the event to stage
demonstrations against the worsening economic outlook.
The party then decided
to hold the address at their headquarters in Nelson Mandela Avenue, but police
broke the gathering apart by savaging all and sundry.
Mafume said that
political environment should be part of the discussions so that the nation will
see the full realisation of 50:50 gender representation.
“There were images
primarily of women being beaten by the police at our Presidential Hope of the
Nation Address. The political environment in which women are brutalised and
injured discourages them from participating in political activities. It makes
the playfield unfair and toxic,  not
forgetting the defamation of women’s character and assassinations,” said
Mafume.
He said the National
Gender Forum should draw recommendations for the Gender Commission on how to
effectively deal with perpetrators of violence against women in politics.
“Political parties
cannot work on this alone without enabling legislation or recommendations for
the Gender Commission on how to detoxify our operating political environment.
“As we discuss the
technical mathematical gender representation, we should look at the political
environment and how harmful it is especially for young women. As a party, we
will work towards the creation of an enabling environment that severely punishes
people who commit gender-based violence against women in politics,” Mafume
said.
Mafume told TellZim
News that the political environment in Zimbabwe was gender insensitive, with ‘sadistic
men masquerading as policemen brutalising defenseless women with pleasure’.
“Our society has
no moral values and it is uncultured. Violence is ingrained in the DNA of
institutions that are supposed to protect citizens. They target the most
vulnerable including old women and men.
“We will never be
blessed as a nation, no wonder why nature is visiting us with all sorts of
droughts and disasters. It’s because our country no longer have respect of all
things that are taboo. Even the worst of criminals are not brutalised when they
are being arrested or taken to court so why political congregants?” queried
Mafume.
Mafume said that there
was a constitutional crisis since there is no gender equality in institutions
of the country.
“The constitution
is very clear that gender equality should be 50:50 yet most of the institutions
are not adhering to it including the executive. Even the naming of our roads is
not gender responsive. They are naming roads after dead man from as far as
Russia yet they cannot consider names of great women from Zimbabwe.
“We are in
male-dominated society and it’s terrible that we do not acknowledge the
contribution of great women who died and who are still alive. We must uplift
women and get to 50:50 in the shortest possible time in order to be in full
compliance with the constitution,” Mafume said.

Corruption a cancer against national vision: Chadzamira

Corruption a cancer against national vision: Chadzamira

Anymore
Magawa
The Minister of State
for Masvingo Provincial Affairs, Ezra Ruvai Chadzamira has spoken against
corruption saying the vice was a cancer gnawing away at the national vision of
development and clean governance.
Addressing people at
the stakeholder consultative meeting on the national anti-corruption strategy held
last week, Chadzamira said people must be guided by integrity and honesty in
all their dealings.
“I urge all corruption
perpetrators to stop their behavior because corruption is an enemy to national
development and the attainment of our national vision of being the upper-middle
income economy by 2030.
“Ending corruption
begins with us and we are obliged to keep and sustain the moral campus of our
life which is immune to the cancer of corruption. We must uphold the founding
principle of Africa which are embedded in the values of Ubuntu whereby an
individual is an expression of bigger corrupt-free society,” said Chadzamira.
He also said traditional
leaders like chiefs must play a more influential role in fighting corruption as
many people looked up to them for guidance.
“Our solution against
corruption should be hinged on traditional ways provided by the traditional
chiefs who are custodians of our values, customs and culture. They can play a
more pronounced role in preserving, promoting and safeguarding transparency,
accountability and professional ethics as a founding system of public sector
management provided in the Constitution.
“Their duty is to
denounce, expose and report name and shame all forms of corruption whenever and
wherever they happen,” Chadzamira said.
Speaking at the same
event, Mabel Takaripa Hungwe, who is a commissioner with the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption
Commission (Zacc), encouraged stakeholders to accommodate diversity of ideas so
as to come up with an effective national strategy.
She also encouraged all
citizens to stay away from any corruption related behavior and to report and
expose corruption issues that might emanate from their areas.
“All citizens must work
to curb corruption which tends to further individual interests at the expense
of many people,” Hungwe said.
Many participants,
however, said the anti-corruption drive in the country was targeting only small
fish while the wealthy and well-connected political elite remained immune.
Resolutions made at the
meeting included protection of whistle blowers, strong policy or legislation to
deal with anyone found engaging in corrupt dealings, the need for Zacc to
collaborate with other institutions and the need to have forensic laboratories
for investigations.

Welcome back General Chiwenga!

Soko makadiiko. Makadiiko Soko ahhh tinotenda kkkkkkk.
Mukati Okusurira dzakanyatsa kuti kwesere here imi vanhu. This woman is a real
drama queen chaiyo. Ndakambozvitaura pano kuti Okusurira tikanatsa kumupa
mukana anogona kudarika pakasvika Dr Stop it. She is full of theatrics and I
did not see any reason why she would kneel before our dearly beloved VP
Generari Chiwenga. It is because of people like Okusurira that I sometimes feel
ashamed of being a woman. Mapombi anofira kureva and I am over the moon that VP
Chiwenga is back and raring to go. The Chinese are gifted vakomana. Dai tese
tichiti tikarwara tonorapiwa with these zhing zhongs hapana kana aifa. Isu muno

am happy I heard VP Chiwenga appreciating that the Chinese are way ahead and I
wonder why these guys do not copy zvakanaka zvinoitwa nevana wevamwe. Dear
readers I am constantly saying VP Chiwenga because I do not want you to
mistaken him with that other Chiwenga guy anozviti munhu waMwari. Uyu VP
Chiwenga haasi a man of God he is just the VP.
I am sure those who saw VP Chiwenga soon after he
touched down at Robert Mugabe airport makaonawo zvandakaona. Our VP is in good
shape. God bless the Chinese doctors. Havangatadzi kuita miracles when they are
remunerated well kwete zvana Magombeyi vasina kana cent. Iye muchinda uya

last heard he was kidnapped and poisoned what what dzikatanga kunyebera

inspired quite a lot. Dai VP Chiwenga akarapiwa with these Magombeyi type of
doctors I am sure tingadai takavaka mausoleum kare. Iyo yakazodiiko mausoleum
yaBob kkkk. Zimbabwe will never cease kubura zvinopisa just to take the minds
of fellow Zimbabweans from bread and butter issues. Zanu PF always does its
best to buy time and it always works. We fall for every diversion and we forget
our problems. Before I proceed, I want to raise an SOS to God fearing man and
women out there that if they do not come to Mapombi’s rescue, ndinofa nezhara
kuno kuchitima. Mabanana akaora haachabatiki and ave on high demand because
many people nevamwe vanoratidza kutosvika chaiko takurwira Mapombi’s diet.
Zvinhu zvaoma and I hope the return of VP Chiwenga will bring some change
because ndarwadziwa hama dzangu.
VP Chiwenga looked very fit and ok. Kuita semunhu anga

Kanogona kunge kari kamwe kamuChinese kakaiswa nyama kuti kangoita like our
beloved VP. I was hoping to hear him say revhorusheni but hazvina kubuda that
is why I am doubting. Until I hear him mispronounce some English words, I will
be the doubting Thomas. You cannot blame Mapombi for distrusting the Chinese. I
wonder why they are so interested in Zimbabwe. It is a shame our leaders are so
happy to be friends with these Chinese and this has clouded their judgements.
Since when has the Chinese done anything that does not benefit them? The
Chinese are not mother Theresas. They exploit every situation to their benefit
and I do not think that the way they are getting cosy with our VP is any good
news to us. Those with sharp memories like Mapombi’s will recall that VP
Chiwenga returned from China to effect a coup on Mugabe. Now VP Chiwenga comes back
from China again after spending 4 months allegedly in hospital battling an
unknown ailment. He shows up as fit as a fiddle and is not received at the
airport with service chiefs, Dugish or Dambudzo. Maybe he just sneaked into the
country kkkkk. The climax inozobuda pakuti VP Chiwenga touches down on a
Chinese jet and is welcomed by the deputy Chinese ambassador to Zimbabwe Zhao
Baogang.
Does this mean that the Chinese knew about the return
of our dearly beloved VP and our people didn’t? These Chinese kunotambira VP
wedu isu tisipo. Vanoda kuzviita aniko vanhu ava. Ni hao ting bu dong kkkkk
ndotaura Chinese kana ndikatsamwa ini. All jokes aside, I do not think VP
Chiwenga and Dambudzo are in good books. They are very good at pretending in
the public eye but behind the scenes pane chimurenga. I am sure they sleep with
one eye open because kurwara kwaVP Chiwenga kune a lot of questions. But I am
glad he is ok. This is the man whom we are hoping kuti anetsane naDambudzo poita

VP will know how to deal with you. This is the man who send Mugabe packing and
silenced the mortar mouth Gucci Grace. Angazotadza Dambudzo? That soldier who

Govt hands over Amapongokwe to Gweru

                                                        The new pumps


…says councils must not rely on donors

Tinaani
Nyabereka
GWERU – Government last week handed
over the Amapongokwe Dam water project to Gweru City Council in a move which is
expected to improve the water situation in the city.
The
project saw the installation of four pumps which were procured by council with
help from central government in response to a severe water crisis.
The Minister
of State for Midlands Provincial Affairs, Larry Mavhima said the partnership
between central government and the local authority led to the success of the
project.
“What
impresses me is the level of cooperation which was exhibited between government
and Gweru City Council as the two parties came together harmoniously to achieve
what we see today.
“The
water issue came to our attention after residents knocked on our doors
complaining of water shortages in the city. This was after water levels at
Gwenhoro Dam reached alarmingly low levels. Let me commend the mayor and his
councillors for the measures they took in dealing with issue up to date,” Mavhima
said.
Permanent
Secretary in the Ministry of Local Governance, Public Works and National
Housing, George Magosvongwe said the collaboration and corporation done was of
importance to the Gweru community.
“US$651 000
was approved by treasury at the request of the Ministry for the Amapongokwe
pumps. While government may come to assist on some and such initiatives,
council must enable the generation of internal funds for the continuous
improvement of water supplies.
“Residents
must pay for the services given to them because nothing is for free. If this
goes well, we expect residents to complement council efforts to improve
delivery by paying their bills in time. We don’t expect a move where by local
authorities depend on donors for service delivery,” Magosvongwe said.
Gweru
deputy mayor Cleopas Shiri said the project’s successful execution will
strengthen the city’s position as an investment destination.
“As
council, we appreciate government intervention by way of giving us forex to purchase
the pumps and this is a great day for us.
“The
project will help us as a city to grow our GDP as people will come and invest
in Gweru. No one wants to invest in a city with serious water shortages. We
therefore appreciate that and hope that such relations will continue to
subsist,” said Shiri.

Chief demonstrates at court

… alleges corruption in Ministry of Local Govt 

Beatific Gumbwanda

CHIREDZI – Chief Tshovani (real name Hlaisi
Mundau) and his subjects demonstrated outside the Chiredzi Magistrates Court to
express anger against the Chiredzi District Development Coordinator (DDC)’s
office and the Joint Operations Command (Joc) that they accuse of meddling in
his wrangle with the recently-revived Neromwe chieftaincy.
Chief
Neromwe (real name Clemence Madzingo) was at the court to hear a decision
regarding his application for a restraining order against Chief Tshovani whom
he wants banned from setting foot on any part of his territory.
The case,
which was being heard by magistrate Rogers Mawarire, was postponed to December 06.
Chief
Tshovani, who was being represented by a lawyer from Majoko and Majoko Legal Practitioners,
raised placards outside the court, attacking the Ministry of Local Government,
the DDC’s office and JOC for corruptly helping to resuscitate a ‘non-existent’
chieftainship.
 “DA, JOC yeChiredzi, MP Musikavanhu leave
chieftainship issues vukosialihlotiwile tumbuluko Humambo hautsvagwi
ndehwekuzvarwa nahwo.
“Ministry
of Local Government siyanai nehuori hwekusika humambo husipo munyika yaMambo
Tshovani. Tshikani Vugela lakutha tiko lahosi Tshovani,” read the placards.
Neromwe is
seeking an interim peace order against Chief Tshovani pending a Supreme Court decision
on a permanent peace order.
Madzingo
was officially installed as substantive chief by Minister of State for Masvingo
Provincial Affairs, Ezra Chadzamira together with Chiefs’ Council at his
homestead at Marambakuzara Primary School earlier this year.
Tshovani
disputes the new chieftaincy’s legitimacy whose revival came at a big expense
to the size of his own area of jurisdiction.
Neromwe was
awarded four wards namely ward 17, 26, 28 and 29 in Chiredzi North and Chiredzi
West constituencies while Tshovani was left with only three wards.
A few months
ago, Chief Tshovani addressed multitudes of Neromwe subjects at Ditoi, angering
Neromwe who then applied for a temporary peace order at the local courts.

idea is to bring transformative change to communities by investing in tangible
things that can help build a better future for children and society as a whole,”

said Lions Club had a keen interest in bridging the seemingly small, yet
critical developmental gaps that exist in communities.

a speech read on his behalf by a representative, Buhera District Schools
Inspector (DSI) Godfrey Gumbwanda said the donation was going to lead to key
improvements at the school.
“Most
of the pupils at this school are not computer-literate but we have now been
uplifted. There is a big boost in the ICT department which will now be teaching
computers with fewer hassles. This development is in line with the requirements
of the new curriculum. We really thank you for this idea and initiative,” said
Gumbwanda.

cultivating new skills for the people of Masvingo and beyond.
“We have put in place measures
that enable us to complement government’s education 5.0 targets. We will impart
knowledge that is responsive to contemporary global standards in hospitality,
catering and culinary practices.

that people may use even at home or at their own places of self-employment. We
also want to implement an idea to product system by which students are
encouraged to put their imaginations into practice for the sake of innovation,”
said Masocha.
He said he was pleased with the
location of the facilities, which are a walkable distance from town close to

Local team donates to injured fans

Courage Dutiro
MASVINGO –
Yavakomana Football Club (FC) which is affectionately known as Ngaa in the Mucheke
Social League, recently took the philanthropy route by donating US$180 and R300
to two of its injured fans.
The
team’s manager, Kudakwashe Munetsi said the executive and some players forked
out money from their pockets and channeled it towards the wellbeing of their
two supporters who were injured during matches.
“We
have two of our supporters who were injured during matches. One of them,
Nangazi Karima broke her hand while celebrating a goal in Mucheke Stadium and
the other one is Jephius Mudzimba who broke his leg during a soccer match that
was being played in Mucheke.
“As
the pioneer team in the city, we have decided to show our maturity by helping these
two. The team donated ZW$589, R250 and US$19 to Karima. Another donation of
R300 and US$180 was given to Mudzimba. The two are going to use the money to
pay for their hospital bills,” said Munetsi.
The
team management praised Nangazi for donating soccer kits to the team in the
past, saying he was one of the team’s most avid supporter who had nothing but
the team’s success at heart.
Nangazi
told TellZIm News that the assistance he got from the team will go a long way
in offsetting some of the bills he incurred.
 “Money is always welcome. It is a very nice
gesture from the management of Yavakomana and its players. I am going to direct
some of the funds towards my medical checkups,” said Nangazi.
One
of the team players, Chida Mudada said the move towards the lane of Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) was right as communities looked up to leaders for
support and inspiration.
The
team’s secretary, Nyasha Mazvimba said they had an affinity to support community
members especially those that show love for the team.
