…female teacher runs naked in front of children
Clayton Shereni
GUTU – A
married Fashion and Fabrics female teacher at Chimedza Secondary School in Ward
28, Gutu district, was recently caught pants down with a fellow married male teacher
and she ran for dear life in the teachers’ compound while stark naked, TellZim
News can report.
Loveness Magadza
nee Maeka and his lover Golden Paradzai – a Geography teacher – were busted by
Paradzai’s wife in the evening of December 04 after she unexpectedly came back
home from Mpandawana growth point where she works.
Sources told
TellZim News the illicit couple often took advantage of the absence of
Paradzai’s wife to have a good time together in Paradzai’s apartment.
However, all
hell eventually broke loose at around 16:00hrs on the fateful day when
Paradzai’s wife visited her husband unexpectedly, only to find her husband
sleeping with Magadza on their matrimonial bed in the teachers’ cottage.
Paradzai’s wife
started assaulting Magadza who then managed to sneak out of the house and run
for dear life in her birthday suit.
The embarrassing
incident reportedly happened in the full glare of some pupils who had just
started leaving school at the end of the day.
Chimedza
Secondary School head, Joe Marembo said he was yet to formally submit a written
report to the District Schools Inspector (DSI).
“Yes, I heard
of the incident which allegedly happened when I was away in Mpandawana for a
workshop and I will soon write a report about it. I can’t speak anything more,”
said Marembo.
Another source
later told TellZim News the School Development Committee (SDC) had called a
meeting where a decision was made to transfer the two offending teachers from
the school.
“A meeting was
held on Thursday (December 06

) and the SDC advised the two teachers to leave the
school and find another work place starting next term. The parents said they
could no longer entrust their children with them,” said the source.

Parents are said
to have complained that the two teachers had put the name of the school to
shame and they were a bad example to school children.

Ndarama wins big at District Merit Awards


Clayton Shereni

Ndarama High School has added more glamour to its name by winning several awards at the Masvingo District Merit Awards for the year 2017 which were held at Better Schools Programme Zimbabwe (BSPZ) offices last week.
The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education honoured more than 20 schools for their achievements in the past year.
It was, however, Ndarama High pupils and teachers who stole the show by winning more than 40 awards in the ‘O’ and ‘A’ level categories.
The school won the Best Urban School award, Best ‘O’ and ‘A’ Level Results award in the urban day school category and the Outstanding Overall High School award among others.
Former Ndarama pupils Believe Mhanga, Jean Zulu Jean and Sharleen Chikomo walked away with $50 vouchers from BSPZ each for attaining 20 points in the 2017 examinations.
Ndarama High School head, Shirley Makausi was named Best School Head.
Speaking after receiving the prizes, Makausi said the school will continue to work hard so that the momentum does not stop.
“I am overwhelmed but for me, winning means going the extra mile. Our motto as a school is to do better than what we have done so we are going to work extra hard. I am happy with the recognition,” said Makausi.
In the primary schools category, Helen McGhie Primary was named the Outstanding School of the Year, walking away with the District Schools Inspector (DSI) shield and a $500 voucher.

Two mentally challenged people die on streets of Masvingo

                                                             The late Sydney Chingoma
Clayton Shereni
Two
mentally-challenged people recently died on the streets of Masvingo, one of them
reportedly after being assaulted by homeless children, TellZim News has learnt.
A woman who, for
long, had set-up camp at Kyle House along Hughes St was found dead last Sunday
morning.
The woman was
identified as Locadia Gutu but people commonly referred to her as ‘VaMagumbo’.
Some people said she had complained about severe headache and her body had
swelled massively.
Police
spokesperson Inspector Charity Mazula confirmed the death and said they were
carrying out investigations.
A week before,
Sydney Chingoma died at Masvingo Provincial Hospital where he had been rushed
reportedly after being found with a deep scar on his head.
Chingoma, who
was commonly known as ‘Tsano’, had for many years slept on the pavement close
to Zuva Kyle fuel station but management there recently chased him away
reportedly because he was ‘making a mess of the place’.
After being
evicted from the place, he is said to have went to a another place close to
Pick n Pay where he reportedly clashed with street kids there who then beat him
up.
When TellZim
News asked Mazula if the police were investigating a murder case, she said she
had not even received the report of the now almost three-weeks-old incident.
Authorities in
Masvingo have been blamed for turning a blind eye on homeless mentally challenged
people.

Ratidzo Primary School sets-up traffic centre



Beatific Gumbwanda


CHIREDZI – Ratidzo Primary recently received five bicycles from the Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe (TSCZ) to thank the school for installing a traffic centre which helps children to avoid road traffic accidents.
Addressing parents and children at the school, TSCZ Masvingo regional manager Georgina Mateta said it was the mandate of everybody to make the roads safer.
She said her organisation encouraged schools to build similar facilities; adding that 94 percent of road accidents were caused by human error (drivers, cyclists and pedestrians), five percent by defectives and one percent by bad road conditions.
“We are teaching these children the highway code because we want to catch them young so that we minimise traffic accidents involving them. We gave Ratidzo Primary School ideas as the new curriculum calls for traffic centres in schools.
“We donated five bicycles to them to appreciate their efforts towards this goal. The programme of traffic centres had died a natural death as it was only meant for A schools, for example in Masvingo province it was found at Victoria Primary, in Gweru at Cecil John Rhodes Primary, in Harare at Mt Pleasant and in Bulawayo at Congo Park,” said Mateta.
Tsungai Gono, an ECD teacher at Ratidzo Primary and a Great Zimbabwe University (GZU) Master’s student, is the brain behind the traffic centre.
“I took the idea because my Master’s degree requires me to come up with a tangible project to help children in the community I live. I then looked around for suggestions from various stakeholders and implemented the idea. The centre has already helped more than 38 people who were about to write their provisional driver’s licences this week,” said Gono.

Of shameless Jorum Gumbo and his ‘Zim has enough fuel’ mantra

Mapombi now understands why
things are not going on well in some of these government offices; it’s because
they are manned by incompetent officials, and one such example is Machako – a
director in the office of our good Minister of State for Masvingo Provincial
Affairs. They guy is very incompetent; Mapombi can confidently tell you guys.
In fact his red eyes made Mapombi suspect kuti ndoumwe wevamwe vanoenda kubasa
vakarohwa nembanje chete.
Mapombi heard her bosses
complaining about this pint-sized guy saying he knows nothing; ndokuzonzwazve
nemamwe maCdes in the media industry crying over Mchako’s conduct. His latest
blundering was when minister Chadzamira recently delivered a press statement on
the preparations for the national clean-up campaign which was scheduled for
yesterday. Guess what Machako did – he barred journalists from asking questions
or seeking clarity. Kkkkkk the guy is not so intelligent I tell you and I don’t
know why he is a director in that office when he misdirects the minister like
that. What was the purpose of inviting the media in the first place when he
knew that he would not allow any questions or requests for clarifications? I am
sure Machako was desperate to cover up fearing that his boss would be asked
tough questions as we all know that there is very little to write home about
Zanu PF since they controversially won the elections this year. In fact they
did not win the elections but they were declared winners by the Malaba-led
bench – with how many votes – only God knows.
Mapombi will not waste much time
talking about this useless Machako pamwe anenge akatorohwa zvake nembanje
because makambomuonepi munhu wekuti chero na7am maziso anenge atotsvuka kuti
piriviri. But tsika yako uirege iwe chimudhara chipfupi – why can’t you allow vana
Irimayi avo who work with the media every day to run the show? Kuda kunzi mungona
here nhai kkkkkkkkkkk nhamo.
Anyway, last week mother Zimbabwe
was in the province – I mean the First Lady. Yes; she is the first lady and
Mapombi has no doubt about that; zveavo vanoda kuwanza mashoko kuti heee she
was small-house what what ini handizvizive izvozvo. All I know is she is the
First Lady.
But can someone tell me; is it a
pre-requisite that our First Ladies vanofanira kungozhangandira or it’s just a
bad precedence which was left by our learned former First Lady? Or is it in
style for a First Lady kuti angoita speed imwe iya iya? I am serious ndoda
kutozivawo.
Can you imagine our First Lady
spent the whole day at Helen McGhie Primary School doing nothing but kugara
zvavo vachiita ngano kuvana vechikoro…. The whole day ngano dzichitsva apa Dead
BC camera ichitora mashura iwayo. And guess what; Auxillia was among the top
stories achiita ngano pachikoro ipapo paHelen McGhie hahahaha kumwa kuda camera
kwacho munozokunyanya Amai. I felt sorry for Chadzamira who was made to sit
down parukukwe ngano dzichitsva kkkkkkkk imagine the whole day murume mukuru
akati tekeshe parukukwe kkkkkkk.
But for those who care to
remember they will agree with Mapombi that this is how our former First Lady
started achingobuda ariko kuDanhiko every day isu vana Mapombi tikazvireva kuti
mukadzi ava kuenderera uyo vanhu veZanu vakatiitisa nharo.
People are starving and the
economic crisis is getting worse every day but a whole First Lady kutouya hake
kuzoswerotamba achiita ngano wasting government resources like that. All those
CIOs and government officials being paid for nothing. We want a mother who is
reasonable – who can address bread and butter issues not wasting resources
kuuya kuzoita ngano kuno. Hamunyare makaita seiko?
I think ED, his wife and
government yake are just clueless. They don’t know anything about solving the
economic crisis. In fact, that guy called Mthuli hahahahahaha mutuvi chaiwo
uya. For those who know mutuvi they will totally agree with me.
Mapombi is always a gentleman so
ndinofira kureva zvangu. The challenge that we have is that ED and his comrades
are capitalists and the challenge with capitalists they only think about how
they can fatten their pockets and nothing else. Mutuvi’s policies are clear for
anyone to notice that tiri kutongwa nemaCapitalists.
Capitalists don’t have people at
heart – all they want is to make profit; and for that reason a two percent tax
was imposed on innocent citizens so that vanoita mari havo. Mthuli has imposed
a number of policies which will negatively affect citizens again so that they
can make money – that is exactly the behavior of capitalists. But one thing that
Mapombi knows is chisingapere chinoshura; who imagined Mugabe would go that
way?
But mukati murume unonzi Jorum
Gumbo dzakanyatsoti kwesere? This is a genuine question guys because Mapombi is
really confused and does not understand this not-so-intelligent minister. Gumbo
has been on record saying Zim has enough fuel but many citizens are asking saka
iri kupi fuel yacho if we have enough?
We see long winding queues in
town every day but a whole minister thinks he can fool the nation by lying that
we have enough fuel. Kkkkk Mr Minister wake up; we do not have enough fuel in
Zim please. Stop lying! Maybe you want to portray to the international
community an all-is-well smokescreen in Zimbabwe. Of course all is well in
Zimbabwe but we do not have enough fuel.
I think corruption inovhiringidza
urozvi chete ini. I now strongly believe that because some of the things that
are said by these corrupt government officials unotosara uchizvibvunza kuti
baba ava dzakakwakana here.
Anyway, it’s almost lunch time
let me go ndindokanga zvangu maputi angu for lunch. I don’t want to imagine
what I will eat on Christmas Day and New Year. At least I will manage to have
maputi angu hangu and of course rotten bananas. Mapombi strongly believes that
things could have been different if Mphoko was still the Vice President because
by now all women would have received day-old chicks and incubators tichitoziva
kuti paholiday tichadya nyama yehuku. With these VPs we now have ummm only God
knows. Mboko imboko!

Use social media to fight rights abuses, Maunganidze urges Africans


Own Correspondent
BRUSSELS –
TellZim News director and Great Zimbabwe University (GZU) media lecturer,
Golden Maunganidze has urged Africans to take advantage of new media
technologies to fight human rights abuses on the continent.
Addressing a
workshop on the side-lines of an on-going conference on peace and security in
the horn of Africa here in Brussels, Maunganidze who was engaged as a social
media expert, urged participants to look for ways they could leverage the
potential of social media to engage the African Union (AU) and European Union (EU)
to dedicate more time, resources and commitment to the fight against gross
human rights violations happening in many parts of Africa.
“We have heard
sad stories about Eritreans being tortured and abused as they try to flee from
their country going to Europe and other parts of the world. We have heard that
people are being sold for some few hundred dollars in Libya. These are
heart-breaking stories but unfortunately the traditional media both in Africa
and beyond see this as a tired story. I therefore urge you to mobilise each
other and take advantage of new media technologies and tell your own stories in
a manner that you think would be the best for the world to comprehend.
“Gone are the
days when you would wait for traditional media to come and write your stories.
Let’s take a leading role in denouncing human rights abuses using social
media,” said Maunganidze.
He said there
was need for a common platform in Africa where people could deposit their
stories so that large global media organisations would have a consistently reliable
source of credible information on Africa.
“We have to
change the status quo now and take a leading role on all issues that concern
us. I am not dismissing traditional media in any way but I am saying the
ordinary person is now more empowered than ever before. Smart phones allow
people to document cases of human rights abuses and disseminate such information
for wider audiences,” he added.
Conference organiser, Prof Mirjam van Reisen said it was high time Europe found solutions to end the human rights carnage that Eritreans were suffering.
Prof van Reisen has done extensive research on immigration between Africa and Europe, and has published many books on that topic.
Seasoned
investigative journalists who attended the conference said it was high time citizens
become more active in publicising issues that directly affect them.
“There are many
big stories taking place every day and we have no reason to be always focused
on Eritrea alone … you must push for your own stories through social media
until you draw the attention of big media organisations,” said Martin Plaut, a
UK-based investigative journalist.
The conference,
which has drawn some 200 delegates from around the world, aims to initiate
strategies to promote peace and stability in the horn of Africa.

Delta Beverages builds classrooms for poor primary school

Delta has built 2×2 classroms blocks a a 10-hole toilet block at Fairview Primary School

TellZim Reporter

Delta Beverages recently commissioned 2×2 classroom blocks and a 10-hole toilet block that the beverages company built at Fairview Primary School in Bulilima East at a cost of $60 000.
The event was graced by many prominent people including the local Member of Parliament (MP) Mangaliso Nqobizitha Ndlovu, Matabeleland Acting Provincial Education Director (PED) Lifias Masukume, Headman Tokwana and Bulilima Rural District Council (RDC) CEO John Brown Ncube.
Delta provided non- local resources required for construction of the blocks while community partners supplied locally-available resources and labour.  Delta also sponsored the furnishing required for each classroom.
Speaking at the event, Delta Corporation corporate affairs executive, Patricia Murambinda said the company’s role in the building of the piece of infrastructure was part of a wider social responsibility programme targeting the education sector.
“Fairview Primary School counts as one of the schools in Zimbabwe to benefit from this programme in the past fifteen years. Delta runs a vibrant education assistance programme which also includes school bursaries which commands close to $200 000 annually.
“To date 13 schools and over 630 students have benefited from the programme over the years amounting to $3 000 000 investment. We have a total of 63 students benefiting from the programme from ‘A’ level up to university this year and these students have been selected with help of the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education,” said Murambinda.
She said she was pleased that the company’s intervention at Fairview Primary School had produced tangible results.
“It therefore, brings us much joy today to officially handover these classrooms and a toilet block as it resembles the passion and team work that was invested in bringing the project to fruition. Thank you for your diligence in dedicating your time and resources to improving the school that serves your community,” Murambinda said.
She said the Delta Corporation schools programme was complimented by the Delta Technical Institute (DTI) whose objective is to develop artisans from ‘A’ level pupils, adding that the DTI had seen over 1150 artisans graduate over the years.
Fairview Primary School head, Billion Moyo said the gesture will forever be remembered by the school.
“We have watched with delight Delta Corporation making a positive intervention at our school which needs help in many other areas. We would never have managed to accomplish all this own our own. We say thank you to Delta for this generosity,” Moyo said.

First lady donates 1 000 goats to Masvingo schools

Tiyani Hahlani

First lady Auxillia Mnangagwa last week donated 1 000 goats to kick-start a massive goat-rearing project for schools and children’s homes in the province.
The project was unveiled at Helen McGhie Primary School where Mnangagwa interacted with children from various schools; teaching them on tradition, storytelling and other cultural practices.
Through her Angel of Hope Foundation, she also handed over groceries and blankest to a children’s home and two special needs schools namely Alpha Cottages, Alfred Walter Hostels and Henry Murray.
 “As a way of ensuring sustainable forces of assistance for the homes in this province, I have launched a provincial project which will help generate income and other resources for the sustenance of these institutions.
“The Angel of Hope Foundation was formed upon realisation that there are so many children in need of assistance and support in shaping up a good child regardless of one’s background, hence we are gathered here in that same spirit.
“Children are at the centre of my heart and it is also my desire that you grow up well and be empowered in all spheres of life. Storytelling (ngano) was a very important part of our lives as we were growing up. It provided an opportunity for families to gather together during the evening after a day’s work and instil discipline in children,” said Mnangagwa.

Runyararo West father, stepmother jailed for child abuse

Tiyani Hahlani


MASVINGO – A Runyararo West couple has been sentenced to six months in jail after being convicted on charges of severely assaulting their child who is doing grade five at Don Bosco Primary School.
Ruvarashe Chiwera (33) and Davison Mazadza (35), of 24941 Sister Pelley St, pleaded guilty to physical abuse, as defined in Section 7(1) as read with Section 7(5) of Children Act Chapter 05:06, when they appeared before Masvingo magistrate Candice Kasere.
It was the State’s case that on October 30 at around 17:00hrs this year, Chiwera who is Mazadza’s wife and stepmother to the victim, accused the child of stealing $7 before assaulting him with open hands on the face several times.
The following morning, Mazadza assaulted the child and forced him to admit the offence before letting him go to school.
When the child came back to school, Mazadza further assaulted him with a hose pipe.
On November 03, Chiwera and Mazadza took the child to the school garden where they suspected he had hidden the money.
Chiwera then clapped the child twice and went on to assault him with the stick several times all over the body and Mazadza joined him, but they were later restrained by Ishmael Temba a security guard at the school.
When they returned home, Mazadza took a whip and further assaulted the child several times all over the body until the whip became torn. She then took a hose pipe and assaulted him again, only to stop after he started bleeding.
The child was taken to Masvingo Provincial Hospital where he was medically examined and a medical report was produced in court. Teachers at the school reported the matter to the police after noticing the abuse.
Andrew Ndaramira appeared for the State.

Pupil drowns at Flamboyant swimming pool


Clayton Shereni

An 18-year-old pupil from a Bulawayo school last Saturday drowned in the Flamboyant Hotel swimming pool where he had gone to swim in the night in the company of two school mates.
Samuel Zingoni was part of a group of pupils from Sizane High School who were in Masvingo for an educational tour.
Masvingo provincial spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa confirmed the incident and urged the public not to swim in the absence of life savers.
“I can confirm that Samuel Zingoni drowned while swimming at Flamboyant Hotel together with two other colleagues and we urge people not to swim in the absence of life savers to avoid the needless loss of life,” said Dhewa.
The group checked in at the hotel but Zingoni and his friends, one 16 years of age and the other 17, decided to go swimming in the night without the knowledge of their authorities, leading to the tragic drowning accident.
It is said while enjoying themselves in the pool, the 17-year-old colleague noticed that Zingoni and the other colleague could not swim and were drowning.
The 17-year-old then successfully rescued the 16-year-old but failed to save Zingoni.
The boy then approached Lameck Masihoro, a hotel gardener and they retrieved the body from the swimming pool.
A report was then made at Rujeko Police Station before the body was taken to Masvingo Provincial Hospital where it was confirmed dead.
