They will destroy the economy. Simple!

Kkkkkkkk
kana zvakadaro maPhD acho itai mega ini zvangu Mapombi ndombomira. I don’t envy
to be a doctor (PhD) anymore. At first Mapombi thought chinongoriwo chirimi
zvacho which makes him fail to pronounce certain words properly. Saying Regacy
instead of Legacy, Racto pachinhambo chaLacto, it wasn’t really an issue for me
to be honest. But Mapombi now doubts Kedha after he failed to construct a
meaningful sentence recently kkkkk kuseka nhamo serugare. Kuzoita serious kani
hanzi, We won’t…we will make sure it will work, will not work. No it will work,
you will not work. Simple. Kwakubva dzatoturika hadzo magirazi adzo kuita

 Haaa Mapombi is of course a Grade 7 dropout
thanks to Zanu PF yakatsakatisa penjeni yababa vangu mugore ra2008, but
handisati ndakambonzwa chirungu chakadai ini upenyu hwangu hwese. Even my
English teachers vekuPrimary ikoko vaChihabu naMugabe they were far much better
than Kedha.
But
Mapombi thinks Kedha is not so educated and is lucky to have graduated with a
doctorate from a reputable university in South Africa. Of course the
qualification can be contested after Prof Jonso claimed that mukuru waiitirwa
PhD. Kkkkk but those who care to remember can testify that the draft pages
which Jonso leaked on social media of Kedha’s thesis were very telling kuti
pari kuitwa nedofo . There were a lot of serious and silly grammatical
mistakes.
Anyway,
English cannot be used to measure one’ intelligence but zvimwe zvinozonyanya
so. But I want to advice Kedha that economy haide hasha iyi. There is no need
to be emotional about the economy. All that is needed are policies that are
investor friendly not ma it will not work, it will work aya.

There

trouble. Ukaona kuno kuChitima ndakushaiwa chero mabanana akaora it means
things are not well. We are being led by blind people and they are taking us
into the abyss. We have reached a point of no return and I feel sorry for the
younger generation because as long as Zanu PF remains in power, they will grow
grey hair without even touching a pay slip.
I
wish I had the power to tell President Trump to remove the so called sanctions
for a month timboona kuti zvinodii. Hakuna masanctions atiri kunyeperwa nezvawo

hiding behind sanctions. Kana akambobviswa zvingatifadza timbobata matofo edu.

Mr Ibu unoona kutokaka tsinga nedzekugotsi heeee America has to remove
sanctions heee every patriotic person should call for the removal of sanctions
heee let’s go and camp at the American embassy kkkk zvakaoma. Tell the people
the truth please Mr Ibu. Sanctions have set conditions for them to be removed.
Address those and we will see from there. America does not need us but we need
them so we have to play by their rules. Mr Ibu should be telling President
Mnangagwa and Kheda to make the necessary reforms otherwise it will work will
not work. No. It will work, you will not work. Simple.

a clown like that, but why Mary. Mwari ave newe mwana iwe.
Anywhere
I have said a lot but I heard ZCTU and Chamisa are promising demonstrations and
I support them completely. I don’t want a demonstration where we will go home
at the end of the day. I want a sit-in like they are doing in Sudan. We will
not go anywhere until we achieve our goals. The voice of the people is the
voice of God and that voice will soon be loud enough.

Vhinyu craze as beer gets out of reach

Shingirai
Vambe

RUSAPE
– An
illicit brew called vhinyu has become a viable alternative for many people in
Rusape and elsewhere who find the new increases in the price of regular alcohol
unbearable for them.
The crude wine is said
to be so powerful that it can send the drinker into an immediate stupor,
raising serious questions about its suitability for human consumption.
The alcohol is
reportedly brewed at Sun Crest in Mutare and Matanuska in Odzi from grape
residues that are left out during wine-making processes
TellZim News
interviewed some vhinyu imbibers who said they were drowning their sorrows in
the cheap but dangerous substance.
“We cannot afford the
normal alcohol that we used to buy. Clear and opaque beer as well as spirits
have become unaffordable so we have no choice,” said one drinker.
The alcohol costs $1.50
per 500ml, making it cheaper than any beer, cider, wine or spirit on the formal
market.
A quart of regular beer
which contains five percent alcohol content costs an average $7 while a 750ml bottle
of viceroy brandy costs an average $40.
Broncleer, a cough
syrup with that is being abused mainly by the youth, is also said to be much
more expensive than vhinyu.
A lady who sells vhinyu
in Rusape had the highest praise for the brew, saying it was giving her a
livelihood.
 “We wake up early to go and buy vhinyu in
Mutare at either Sun Crest or Matanuska where they manufacture wine. The two
companies produce white and red vhinyu but our clients prefer red vhinyu to
white.
“A 20 litre container
costs $60 and we make a little profit out of it. Police at times raid us, but
this is our source of living. We have to find the means to get to our customers,”
she said.
Some alcohol connoisseurs
and health practitioners, however, warned against consumption of the new brew,
saying it was not being produced in accordance with set standards, and that its
alcohol content was not being measured.
“It’s a dangerous
alcoholic concoction made under the dodgiest of conditions using questionable
ingredients. It’s not advisable to drink it as it contains many impurities that
pose twice or even thrice as much risks to health as regular alcohol,” said one
expert.
A few years back, many
people died from the effects of another illicit brew called ZED which some nicknamed
Zimbabwe’s Emergency Drink which was being smuggled from Mozambique and was
more affordable than regular alcohol.

Mwenezi mourns former MP Matavire

Cephas Shava


MWENEZI – People in the district are mourning the death of former Zanu PF Mwenezi West Member of Parliament (MP), Lamson Matavire who died on May 01 at Masvingo Provincial Hospital.
Matavire, who was 73 years of age and hailed from Bhagadhi village under Chief Maranda, died from the effects of a stroke that he suffered a few days before.
He left behind his wife and several children.
In a telephone interview Agness Matavire, who is daughter to Matavire’s younger brother, told TellZim News that the family was devastated by the loss.
“As a family, we are deeply saddened by this loss. Our father was first admitted at Neshuro District Hospital after suffering a stroke. He was referred to Masvingo Provincial Hospital where he died yesterday,” said Matavire.
Although burial arrangements were yet to be concluded by the time of going to print, the late Matavire was expected to be laid to rest at his rural home.
Matavire was Zanu PF legislator for Mwenezi West from 2013 to 2018. His bid for re-election last year hit a brick wall after he lost the party’s primary elections to current Zanu PF MP Priscilla Zindari Moyo.

Tendai
Mange
A
Masvingo couple was recently fined $200 by magistrate Rufaro Mangwiro for
pledging their 17-year-old daughter in marriage.
Brian
Chindombo (38) and Petronella Matemani (35) of number 1947, 4th street,
Sisk, Masvingo of the Johanne Marange Apostolic Church forced their underage
daughter to marry their church mate Nigel Mapuranga (38).
It
was the State’s case as presented by Andew Ndaramira that sometime in January,
the couple teamed-up with some of their church members to force the juvenile to
live with Mapuranga as husband and wife without her consent.
The
girl told the court that whenever she tried to reject the marriage arrangement,
the parents would assault her as a way of coercing her to agree.
“My
father used to beat me and threaten to throw me out of the house whenever I expressed
refusal to marry this old man,” said the complaint.
It
has been learnt that the complaint fled from Mapuranga’s house after they had
lived together for three months and went to seek refuge at her friend Faith
Hwachi’s place.
Hwachi
later advised her to report the issue to the police, leading to the arrest of
her parents.

A 66-year-old Reformed Church University (RCU) employee, Junias
Chikumbu, recently appeared before Masvingo magistrate Rufaro Mangwiro after he
allegedly molested and fondled his female workmate’s buttocks at work.
Chikumbu, a general hand at RCU, was facing charges of
indecent assault but he pleaded not guilty, and was asked to bring a witness on
May 08, 2019 for continuation of trial.
It is the State’s case that on January 28, 2019, at
around 1335hrs, Chikumbu approached a fellow general hand, Sara Hungwe who was
sweeping in a lecture room in the presence of Grace Chikaura.
Chikumbu went on to fondle Hungwe’s buttocks once before
leaving the room without saying a word.
Hungwe followed Chikumbu to the tools room where the
accused works as she sought an explanation but Chikumbu chose to remain quite
leaving Hungwe with no option but to report to her seniors.
RCU conducted a hearing into the matter but Hungwe went
on to file a police report at ZRP Masvingo Rural after seeking advice from her
husband, leading to the arrest of Chikumbu.

Tuku legacy gets boost as son releases album

                                                     Calvin Mtukudzi

Stephen Ephraem

Since the death of decorated Afro Jazz music icon Oliver Mtukudzi, affectionately known as Tuku, the mainstream media as well as social media have been boosting their readership by publishing negative news of bad blood and infighting within the late musical icon’s family.
For the first time in four months after Tuku’s departure from the world, his legacy has received a positive narrative.
Calvin Mtukudzi, son to the late Mtukudzi’s younger brother, has released an Afro Jazz album called Tuku Shaa. The eight track album contains the love-themed title track Tuku Shaa as well as other tracks; Amai, Kugarira nanzva, Dende terera, Shamwari yangu, Pamuromo, Maidei and Muzukuru wangu.
 In an interview with TellZim News, Calvin revealed that Katekwe, as the late Dr Tuku called his music, should be passed from generation to generation.
“Our big father worked so hard to make Tuku Music an international brand that we pay tribute to him by carrying on the legacy,” said the 33-year-old Calvin.
The Tuku offspring started music in 2013 and takes the trade on a part time basis.
“I am formally employed but I also take time to play music with my band Jazz Peace during weekends. I keep my music and job balanced,” said the Marondera-based crooner.
The polished acoustic guitar player said he will launch his album on a date to be announced.
“For now, people can get my music at Marondera Gulf Complex Shop Number 2. I will announce the album launch date soon. I am also working towards shooting videos for the album,” he said.
Calvin, who has two previous albums named Kukungura; released in 2013, and Manamatiro; released in 2015, thanked his fans for their support. “My fans strengthened me day by day and I promise to give them quality products,” he saidi.

Gono reaches out to Idai victims, schools

Beatific Gumbwanda
CHIREDZI – Successful indigenous sugarcane Rtd
Captain Faster Gono recently donated US$500 Cyclone Idai victims as well as desktop
computers worth US$800 to Chikomo and Bani Primary schools.
Gono gave the monetary
donation to Lands, Agriculture, Water and Rural Resettlement deputy minister
Peter Haritatos to help the cyclone victims in Chimanimani district.
He went on to donate the
computers to the two local primary schools to help motivate them as they
prepare to take part in the national quiz competitions next month.
The war veteran also parted
ways with RTGS$120 which he gave three pupils for winning the quiz competition
at provincial level.
“I deem it important to
come to the aid of our fellow citizens whose lives were disrupted by Cyclone Idai.
They need as much help as they can get from any one of us. Let’s also motivate
each other to support our primary schools so that we help them to do better.
Let’s support our children who are going to represent us at the national quiz
competition,” said Gono.
Bani Primary School head, Dr
Evangelist Svosvo said she was humbled by the support coming from well-wishers
and from Tongaat Hulett Zimbabwe, the responsible authority.
She said the school had also
got help from local companies to enable them to go on educational trips in Mutare,
Bulawayo, Harare, Masvingo and Gweru in preparation for the national
competitions.
“We are still appealing
to well-wishers to donate towards our national competition. We are going around
with three children namely Albert Mutunhu, Tadiwa Tivatye and Tanaka Machocho
on educational trips in preparation for our national competition,” said Dr
Svosve.

Rimbi Primary School gets help

Percy Muhoma

CHIPINGE – The Zimbabwe Cyclone Relief Go Fund Me recently
came to the aid of Rimbi Primary School by providing roofing and other
materials needed for repairs on a classroom block damaged by Cyclone Idai.
The
work was completed in 12 days at a cost of around $4000.
Speaking
to TellZim News, Rimbi Primary head, Tangirai Simango thanked the relief fund
for the assistance, saying the school could never have afforded to do the work
on its own.
“We
are thankful to those private citizens who mobilised funding and responded to
our cry for help. We had a whole block whose roof was blown away. The block has
now been restored to good condition.
“We
are still appealing for more donations because we have three houses for our
teachers and a hall where our ECD attend lessons which were destroyed by the
strong winds of the cyclone,” said Simango.
A
local resident, Anesu Mlambo said though the area did not record as much human
life losses as Chimanimani district, many schools, shops and clinics had been
affected, with villagers losing their crops.
“People’s
lives were spared but we are now poorer. Many public facilities were razed down
and we do not have food.
“Our
crops were destroyed by strong winds and we appeal for help as we no longer
have the means to fend for ourselves,” said Mlambo.
The
money was raised through an online aid mobilisation platform called GoFundMe.
USA-based
Zimbabwean citizen, Freeman Chari, a biomedical scientist and software engineer,
came up with the idea which ended up raising tens of thousands of dollars for
relief effort.
Work
is also being done at Ngangu Primary School in Chimanimani district.

Chiredzi youths fail army test

                                     File picture

Only 17 people made the
cut to join the Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) last week at Chikombedzi, despite
the army relaxing its entry requirements for marginalised communities, an
official has said.
Chiredzi South MP, Rtd
Brig Gen Calisto Gwanetsa said only 17 people from Chiredzi qualified after
other pre-requisites such as physical fitness, aptitudes test and body mass
index-related to body and capability of being a soldier were waived.
Standard requirements
for the intake were five ‘O’ level subjects, but Chiredzi just like Binga,
Kezi, Maphisa, Mbire and other border areas, were exempted due to their
dispositions, with candidates having a minimum of two subjects allowed to
attest.
Other requirements were
that those from Chiredzi would be given preference and only those with national
registration numbers starting and ending with 14 were considered.
“The age limit was
between 18 and 22 and preferably those who sat for Ordinary Level exams between
2017 and 2018. Those with Advanced Levels were being considered for officer
cadets and artisan positions, but strictly on regional basis.
“Despite all the
exemptions, very few met those requirements. They tried by all means to favour
those from the rural areas of Chiredzi, but to no avail. They even went to the
extent of saying those from Chiredzi who sat for exams outside Chiredzi and in
particular in major urban centres were not considered, but that did not help
(either),” Gwanetsa said.
He said out of seven
wards in his constituency, only four have secondary educational qualifications
and most of the people do not have primary documents.
“We have been
harping on the same string about how people from Chiredzi are critically
neglected and marginalised, but to no avail. If we do not have people with two
Ordinary Level passes, do you then expect us to have teachers or nurses from
the area? I think it is important for us to continue encouraging our communities
to go to school.
“Remember my
constituency borders Mozambique and South Africa, so most children skip the
border after completing Grade Seven to look for employment (in neighbouring
countries),” Gwanetsa said.
