MASVINGO – Some Ndarama Government High alumni have formed an association which they hope will harness the energy of all those interested in contributing to the development of the school.
Ndarama Old Students Association (NOSA) secretary general Hardlife Mugota urged former students around the world to come and join hands to improve conditions at the school.
The association was launched on last month (December, 23 2017) with Godwin Mangudya being elected inaugural chairperson.
 “We felt the need to have an association that will bridge the gap between former students and Ndarama while, in the process, helping to improve standards at the school,” Mugota said.
He credited the success of the initiative to the power of social media, saying a WhatsApp group with few former students managed to net many more from elsewhere.
NOSA treasurer Anna Mwenezuka said the association was made up of members who have the best interests of Ndarama High School at heart.
“The coordination is excellent and the dream is to see our school growing. Some of our short term goals include providing stationary and study material to less privileged students as well as doing all that we can to keep them in school.
“In the long term, we aim to contribute to the transformation of Ndarama through infrastructure development to improve learning facilities. We want to see a school hall and a fully equipped study centre being built,” Mwenezuka said.
Ndarama High School head Shirley Makausi said she welcomed the idea as it grew out of the desire to take forward the developmental goals of the school.
“They came to the school and engaged us on their plans to form an association and we gave them our blessings. We are confident the ex-students will use their influence in society for the good of the school,” said Makausi.education

Masvingo police issue rape alert

Inspector Charity Mazula

Nyasha Marumbi

MASVINGO – In response to the increase in rape cases against the disabled, especially the mentally challenged as well as the elderly, police in Masvingo have released a statement warning members of the public to treat any male person as a potential sexual abuser.
In the statement, provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Charity Mazula advises the community that the disabled and young children remain particularly vulnerable to cases of sexual abuse especially by close family members and other ‘trusted’ persons.
She urges collective protection of these vulnerable groups from people around them because the perpetrators normally take advantage of their limited physical capabilities to defend themselves.
“Parents are also advised  to  accompany little girls to and from school and avoid secluded roads and shun herding cattle alone since most perpetrators are taking advantage of the thick bushes to rape children coming from school,” the statements reads.
The statement also highlights that most cases of sexual abuse in the province are as a result of negligence on the part of parents and caregivers.
Members of the public are also advised that it is no longer time for the community to trust any male person and leave the girl child in their custody no matter how respectful they may appear to be.local

No to political violence ahead of elections, says Chief Mutekedza

Chief Mutekedza

Elliot Jinjika

CHIVHU – Chief Mutekedza, born Andrew Zhakata, has urged his subjects to shun political violence ahead of elections this year, saying freedom of expression and association must be respected.
Chief Mutekedza made the remarks while addressing his subjects in Warikandwa, in Sadza recently.
The outspoken traditional leader said political violence was in nobody’s interests as it causes societal scars that take a long time to heal, thereby slowing down national development.
“Ikozvino tave kuenda kusarudzo, zvekurovana nekupinganidzana uyu achiti ndiriwebato rakati iwe uri werakati ini muno munzvimbo mangu ndazviramba. Kana uine rako gara naro siya ane rake akadaro. Nyaya dzakadai dzinokonzeresa matambudziko akawanda huye zvinotadzisa budiriro,” he said.
He went on to emphasise the need for respecting the supreme law of the land, the constitution, which guarantees freedom of expression and association.
“Constitution yedu iyi inoti munhu anotenderwa kuve nhengo yekereke kana bato rezvamatongerwe enyika raanoda iye pachake zvisina kumanikidzwa. Tinoda rugare, runyararo pamaelections apa,” he said.
He went on to castigate traditional leaders who align themselves with political parties saying it is unconstitutional.
“Imi masabhuku angu nema headman muripano, siyanai nezvematongerwe enyika constitution yedu haitendere. Kana aripo anozviita ibva wasiya nhasi. Vamwe hamutonyorane kuchibage uchinzi hausi wemusangano wakati. Ungatungamire sei musha iwe uchivenga vamwe vana vako muraini mako,” said Chief Mutekedza.
The meeting was attended by the Forestry Commission and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) which took time to explain the constitution to the people of Sadza.top news

Pupurai Togarepi

Cephas Shava

12 Jan 2018 – MWENEZI – Zanu PF leaders have urged supporters to dump party regalia that bear the image of ousted President Robert Mugabe and embrace the latest version with the portrait of incumbent President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
Addressing supporters at an inter-district meeting held at Rutenga Primary School last Saturday, Zanu PF national youth secretary Pupurai Togarepi said wearing regalia with Mugabe’s face on it was now taboo.
“Hembe dziya dzaive nepicture yaVaMugabe chimbodzimirai, ngadzimboiswa paside. Tave neitsva dzaPresident Mnangagwa. Kupfeka hembe dziya dzakare zvakafanana nemukadzi anoroorwa nemurume wechipiri.

Hembe itsva dziri munzira dziri kuuya nehuwandu,” said Togarepi.
Togarepi, who preached development and urged party structures to unite, took councillors to task, threatening to make surprise visits to monitor progress in developmental projects that should be spearheaded by councillors in their respective wards across the district.
In his remarks, provincial chairperson Ezra Chadzamira likened Mugabe’s wife Grace to the Biblical Delilah who led a great man to his downfall.
The meeting was attended by several MPs and high ranking provincial and district officials.top news

Upenyu Chaota

12 Jan 2018 – Former MDC-T Masvingo Urban Member of Parliament (MP) Tongai Matutu has made a subscription deal with TellZim News for all primary schools in the constituency, a move he says will help to promote literacy and improve access to information.
He also subscribed for Mucheke Old People’s Home, Pioneer Cottages old people’s home and Alpha Cottages children’s shelter.
“TellZim News has earned for itself a unique identity due to its commitment to development and education. For this reason, I have seen it fit to make sure that the newspaper gets to the libraries of all primary schools.
“I also considered the plight of inmates at our charity institutions who would like to know more about their community but lack the resources. I believe TellZim News will keep them informed and entertained.
“I am going to subscribe more newspapers from other media houses in the long run but for now, TellZim News is a good starting point and pupils will benefit from the accurate reporting by the newspaper,” said Matutu.
Masvingo urban has a total of 11 primary schools and all of them will benefit from the gesture.top news
