Will Mnangagwa remember Masvingo?

President E.D Mnangagwa


Golden Maunganidze

The people of Masvingo recently managed to come together and join the nation in celebrating the fall of Zimbabwe’s long-time dictator Robert Gabriel Mugabe who ruled the country with an iron fist for over 37 years.
For many people in Masvingo and of course the broader part of southern Zimbabwe, Mugabe was not just a dictator but also a tribalist that concentrated on developing only one part of the country.
The people of Masvingo, feel that any sober government must seriously consider giving the province the respect and support that it deserves.
The province hosts the oldest urban settlement in Zimbabwe and the country derives its name from Great Zimbabwe monuments that are a few kilometres away from Masvingo city.
Geographically, it is the only city in the country which is strategically positioned with almost equal distance to other economic hubs of Harare, Bulawayo, Gweru, Mutare and Beitbridge.
Several buildings in the town of Masvingo are historical, with most of them qualifying to be heritage sites as they carry a lot of historical significance and are among the oldest buildings in the country. It is very difficult to understand the history of Zimbabwe without passing through Masvingo. The province is actually the heart of Zimbabwe since that is where it all started. By naming the country after the monuments, the government of those days had some sense that made them realise the significance of the province of this great nation of Zimbabwe.
Even the colonial governments realised that Masvingo was very critical to the economic fortunes of the country as reflected in the efforts they made to develop the province. These efforts include the construction of an international airport at Buffalo Range in Chiredzi.
The province is rich in tourist attraction centres, chief among them the Great Zimbabwe Monuments and Gonarezhou National Park.
There are a lot of man-made attractions and sites such as the vast sugarcane plantations of the Lowveld, Lake Mutirikwi and Tokwe Mukosi Dam among others.
Under normal circumstances, the people of Masvingo expect fair recognition from the government where responsible ministries are tasked to make sure that the province is accorded the status which it deserves.
However, instead of enjoying the benefits of the good that is found there, all they have abundantly received in the past 37 years is derision as evidenced by the social media jokes of recent months.
There are also widespread perceptions that this province is being marginalised in terms of development with complaints that authorities in Harare are already leveraging economic opportunities like fishing rights and hospitality stakes at Tokwe Mukosi to their own people and not the local people.
Instead of becoming the true nationalist that he was supposed to be, Mugabe together with his wife jumped in to mock the people of Masvingo, accusing them of being tribalists. It then became politically disadvantageous and unfashionable to be associated with Masvingo.
It is also disturbing to note that the country’s geographical surface area is not fairly demarcated. There are some provinces that are unjustifiably huge while others are very small. The end result is that other provinces end up getting a bigger national cake as compared to others thereby forcing people to think that devolution is the only way forward.
For a long time, the people of Masvingo were suffering in silence.
When Walter Mzembi was elected minister of tourism, the people of Masvingo thought that it was going to be time for him to also market his home area but he failed dismally in that regard. He turned a blind eye to everything significant about Masvingo and reduced himself to Minis

ter of the Victoria Falls. This explains why Mzembi was loved in Harare and other places but hated at home; the people of Masvingo did not find value in him.
Now to the newly elected President who was born in Masvingo, it is time to lift the lead that has been preventing Masvingo from shining and taking its rightful position. It is not like the President must do any special favours for them. No. A real leader must be good in equal distribution of state resources.
The people of Masvingo have a few things that they are expecting from the President; such things as revamping the Buffalo Range International airport, according Great Zimbabwe monuments the status that they deserve, promoting tourism activities at Tokwe Mukosi, turning the Lowveld into the green belt that can feed the nation and of course breathing life to Cold Storage Company depot that was closed years ago. We may not talk about the death path which links Harare and Beitbridge under the guise of a highway. There is nearly a fatal accident on that ‘highway’ on daily basis and yet these deaths can be avoided.
The people of Masvingo are therefore eagerly waiting to see if Mnangagwa can remember them once he starts enjoying the comfort that is associated with being resident at State House.
After all the people of Masvingo, alongside their brothers in the Midlands, took the most battering from the former dictator for defending Mnangagwa.top news

Masvingo’s unsung heroes in Mnangagwa’s rise

President Emmerson Mnangagwa and Charles Mnganasa

TellZim Reporter

01 Dec 2017 – As the nation celebrates the coming in of the new President Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, there are key names that quickly come to mind. Of course, everybody is quick to think of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) commander General Constantine Chiwenga who played a critical role in helping Mnangagwa to come back and assume the most powerful office in the country.

Paradzai Chakona

There are several versions with regards to how Mnangagwa managed to navigate his way to become Zimbabwe’s first citizen – the position which had been occupied by his predecessor for 37 years.
Again, people may not necessarily buy some of the versions, for example reports that famous prophet Madzibaba Wimbo once openly told Mnangagwa that he needed assistance – hanzi ega haangazvigoni, anoda kubetserwa – ‘he could not make it to the top by himself as he needed assistance, hence the coming in of the army general.  However, we cannot dispute the fact that Mnangagwa has a few individuals to thank for his success especially in Masvingo province.  There are several people who openly played a pivotal role in Mnangagwa’s success story such as the Gutu Central Member of Parliament MP Lovemore Matuke. At one point, Matuke became isolated as Zanu PF officials ran away from him following the former President Robert Mugabe’s rantings in Bulawayo.
Mugabe was very open in attacking Matuke for supporting Mnangagwa. Zanu PF is full of political turncoats that conveniently dessert friends when the going gets tough. Only a few individuals such as Senator Clemence Makwarimba, Ezra Chadzamira and Edmund Mhere remained loyal to their cause. However, Mnagagwa’s long-time ally Josaya Hungwe had already decided to find comfort at the border line. They had since decided to avoid public pronouncements and people were therefore left guessing as to whether they were still supporting Mnangagwa or not.


Phainos Makwarimba

During the height of the political fight between the G40 and team Lacoste, there were some people who were committed to fight tooth and nail in defence of their leader Mnangagwa.
The young, ever innovative and energetic youth leader Charles Munganasa, powerful strategist in the party Phainos Makwarimba and soft spoken schemer Zaka Central MP Paradza Chakona were key pillars of Mnangagwa’s success in Masvingo province.
The three may have not featured often in the public, however, research by this publication has since indicated that had it not been the trio, Mnangagwa was going to find it very difficult to maintain his support in Masvingo.
The three unsung heroes in Mnangagwa success story were already facing serious persecution during the short period that Mnangagwa spent in exile.
Charles Munganasa is believed to be the one who organised a bus full of party youths who booed Grace Mugabe in Bulawayo during the ninth interface rally. Apart from organising the youth to embarrass the former First Lady, Munganasa’s connection to the tertiary student community helped in keeping the Mnangagwa brand alive in tertiary institutions. Phainos Makwarimba is widely believed to be the sober brains that advise Masvingo’s Zanu PF council of elders. It is widely believed that had it not been Makwarimba’s involvement with Team Lacoste in Masvingo, we may be talking of a different story line today. Chakona is regarded as a shy character who is not very aggressive during meetings but his contribution towards Mnangagwa’s rise can never be downplayed. It is said Chakona used to go directly to Mnangagwa to tell him what to do. Sources say it is Chakona and Munganasa who helped Mnangagwa to fight Jonathan Moyo by compiling dossiers with information to counter the former Higher Education minister’s presentation in the politburo meeting.top news

Rutenga Primary deputy head accused of savage child abuse

Misheck Mazuva


Cephas Shava

MWENEZI – Fiona Dube, a deputy head at Rutenga Primary School has been implicated in a brutal assault that left a grade five pupil at the school nursing severe scars all over his back.
The vicious assault of Misheck Mazuva occurred on November 19 at Roman Catholic Church’s Rutenga cottages where Dube resides.
Dube allegedly teamed up with two other unidentified women and brutalised the child whom they had reportedly accused of stealing a smart phone and US$2 belonging to one of the ladies.
Although efforts to get a comment from Dube were fruitless, school head Tenson Mukapa seemed to confirm the incident.
“Haa manje isu hatishandi nephone kubasa kwedu munotouya kuno kuoffice totaurirana tichionana ….ko phone number dzangu madziwanepi ….plus journalism dzamazuva ano majournalist anorashika kungonyora zvinenge zvakashata chete zvakanaka haanyori,” said Mukapa
TellZim News managed to catch up with Mazuva who was visibly in agony, struggling to walk as he went to file a police report at Rutenga Police Station accompanied by his father. He confirmed that he was indeed assaulted by Dube for allegedly stealing a cell phone.
“I was assaulted by Mrs Dube and the other two women who accused me of stealing a smart phone. They beat me with logs but I didn’t steal their cell phone,” said the sobbing Mazuva.
Sources said after one of the women discovered that her cell phone and money was missing, the two decided to refer the matter to Dube who is the child’s teacher.
“The ladies with the missing phone referred the matter to Dube leading to the abuse,” said a source.
In March this year, High Court judge Justice David Mangota outlawed corporal punishment against children at schools or at home by teachers, parents and guardians, saying the practice contravenes the country’s constitution.local

MASVINGO – MyAge Zimbabwe will soon introduce its Bio Buddyz10, an initiative meant to exploit existing social ties among students and people with disabilities in a rigorous drive to encourage them to register as voters.
The model seeks to make use of the already existing network of peers who are connected through common interests to encourage young people to develop an interest in electoral processes.
Addressing youths at Charles Austin Theatre last week Friday, Bio Buddyz10 project manager Joseph Njowa said MyAge will create accounts for those interested in participating in the initiative.
Those interested are given a challenge to recruit as many registrants as they can and post pictures of the registration slips on their accounts.
“We will open Ballot Buddyz accounts for each Buddyz Champion so those interested can come and join and we will monitor these accounts and identify winners,” said Njowa.
The targeted people are youths aged between 17 and 35 years residing in Masvingo rural and urban areas as well as Chivi district.
At least 9 000 youths are expected to be reached through the ballot buddies and those that recruit the most youths to register to vote will get cash prizes.
The ‘Championeer of Champions’ will get at least US$50 prize money with many cellphones, powerbanks and flash drives also up for grabs.
“A process is already underway to identify youths in the targeted districts prioritising opinion leaders, celebrities and young people who have been active in the youth engagement project,” Njowa said.local

Former President R. G Mugabe

…Fear of prosecution, losing Gushungo Dairy gets the better of him
….Masvingo, other cities explode in celebration as frail dictator falls
…Grace ‘Gucci’ nowhere to be found

Upenyu Chaota

26-11-2017-Just like Napoleon Bonaparte who conquered Europe during his glory days but met his downfall at the battle of Waterloo after Allied forces joined hands to defeat him, Robert Mugabe met his demise after the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) put him under house arrest before his Zanu PF party expelled him over a spate of allegations.
On Tuesday, however, the beleaguered Mugabe finally gave in to pressure when he tendered his resignation to the National Assembly which had already sat to impeach him.
After his resignation, the country exploded in celebration, with soldiers being called to disperse hundreds of people who had blocked traffic at the Chicken Inn outlet along Robert Mugabe Road in the Masvingo CBD.
This was followed by his former vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa’s return from South Africa on Wednesday where he had paid a courtesy call on President Jacob Zuma before heading back home.
Mnangagwa is due to be sworn in as Mugabe’s successor on Friday, November 24, 2017 if everything goes as per plan.
Mugabe, who had been declining to resign, is believed to have fought for the security of his family and that of his Gushungo Diary among his vast business empire during his negotiations with the military.
He is also said to have sought guarantees of full immunity for himself and his wife to make sure they do not face prosecution for their alleged crimes.
Political analyst Dr Davidson Mabweazara Mugodzwa said Mugabe had held on to power for selfish reasons because he was worried about the welfare of his young family and business empire in Mazowe.
“Mugabe feared losing Gushungo Diary and his other businesses in Mazowe. He has been looting for the past 37 years and he knew he might lose everything overnight.  Mugabe was dealing with shrewd people therefore, he was not certain about the future of his family and businesses,” said Dr Mugodzwa.
“He is a multi-billionaire and has properties the world over and it is chiefly for this reason that Mugabe clung on to power and demanded a dignified exit which will allow him to keep all the stolen wealth,” he added.
Mugabe’s wife Grace and the G40 cabal that has been vocal when Emmerson Mnangagwa was dismissed from both government and Zanu PF, went into hiding in the short period leading to Mugabe’s resignation.
Another respected analyst Dr Takavafira Zhou said it was apparent that Mugabe would eventually lose and that is the reason why he wanted to negotiate his security as well as that of his family in Zimbabwe and beyond.
“Mugabe was initially stubborn because he was trying to negotiate his exit package as well as his security. He wanted to be assured that he will be safe either in Zimbabwe or elsewhere.
“It also took long because the army wanted to convince everyone that it was not a coup. The army wanted Mugabe to appoint Mnangagwa as his successor before he could leave,” said Dr Zhou.
MDC-T spokesperson Obert Gutu said Mugabe feared that leaving office could be putting his wealth and family at risk.
“Mugabe has always been a stubborn politician and has always wanted things done his way. He feared that if he left power without safeguards, his relatively young family would be in trouble and all the wealth would go. People would start to target the Gushungo Dairy and all the land they have taken in Mazowe,” said Gutu.
National People’s Party (NPP) national spokesperson Jeffryson Chitando said there is no doubt Mugabe was thinking about the future of his wife and children.
“At his age, Mugabe does not think of himself but his family and its security. His family is used to lavish lifestyles at the expense of the generality of Zimbabweans and it is only fair if he returns some of the wealth which has been robbing from us.
“We cannot let him walk away with stolen wealth, no no. We need to know how he got all that wealth and everything has to be accounted for,” said Chitando.local

Mwenezi man jailed for faking identity during voter registration

Cephas Shava

MWENEZI – A 35-year old man took the national identity card of his elder brother and used it to register to vote, the Mwenezi Magistrates’ Court heard last week.
Humphrey Maswabi, who worked as a general hand at Zishiri Farm in Umbono Ranch, appeared before magistrate Honest Musiiwa and pleaded guilty to charges of contravening section 37 (2) (d) of the Electoral Act Chapter  2:13 ‘Registration of Voters’.
Magistrate Musiiwa strongly warned Maswabi and pointed out that had it not been the fact that Maswabi was a mere farm worker, he would have imposed a stiffer sentence that would deter other would-be-offenders.
He sentenced him to 30 days behind bars or alternatively to pay a fine of US$100.
Asked why he committed the offence, Maswabi told the court that he did not have a national identity card but was eager to be registered as a voter.
The court heard that on October 25, Maswabi went to Zishiri Farm and asked for a proof of residence from the farm manager Philemon Marasha.
Although Marasha knew Maswabi as Humphrey, he produced a national identity card that was named Fortunate Maswabi. Upon being questioned, he convinced the manager that the name Humphrey was his second name and does not appear on the identity card.
As a result the manager issued Maswabi with a proof of residence bearing the name Fortunate Maswabi.
Maswabi then went to the District Administrator’s complex where he registered in the name of his brother, Fortunate Maswabi who is currently in Namibia.
Police detectives were informed and conducted an investigation that led to the arrest of Maswabi.

Low response to BVR in Makoni

Shingirai Vambe

RUSAPE – The third phase of the Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) reached Makoni with fewer than expected people responding to calls to register as voters, TellZim News has noticed.
At 602 Hall where people gathered last week to hear from Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (Zec) district officer Joel Mutambiranwa, people who spoke to TellZim News indicated that they were not in the know as to how the BVR was all about and how it worked.
“We are not very sure how it is different from the previous system. We only heard that this time they are taking fingerprints. There was need for more awareness campaigns so that we can all know what exactly is happening,” said one woman.
This was echoed by another youth who said different people were explaining BVR in different ways depending on their motives.
“Some people are saying the system will be used to capture details of all voters so that it can be known when they vote for an opposition candidate while others are saying it is a better way of registering,” said the youth.
In his address at the hall, Mutambiranwa recounted the shortfalls of the previous phase and briefed Zec officers on what needed to be done this time around.
“We must work towards ensuring that everybody who is eligible is registered to vote so that the BVR becomes a success,” said Mutambiranwa.
TellZim News noticed that many registration centres were not at all busy last week and early this week, with some centres in Makoni recording no registration at all.local

MDC-T Midlands blames Zanu PF for BVR intimidation

Davison Marenga

MBERENGWA – The Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) exercise in Mberengwa’s Ward 30 has been marred with controversy with some areas said to be turning away suspected MDC-T supporters.
Zanu PF heavy weights July Moyo and Joram Gumbo are said to be now supervising the registration process at Humbani business centre, a situation many say is intimidatory.
MDC-T Midlands secretary for information Munyaradzi Mutandavari said their people are being threatened by Zanu PF youths who go around telling people to submit their registration slips to Gumbo or face the music.
 “Our people in Mberengwa are being threatened into submit their registrations slips to Gumbo or be victimised. As the provincial leadership, we are surprised especially when top leaders like Gumbo stoop so low as to deny citizens their constitutional right,” said Mutandavari.
Places like Gaha Sandawana and Chimbapire in Ward 29 and Ward 30 are the most affected.
“We have noted with concern that the most affected areas are resettlement areas and we have alerted our top leadership. We hope by the end of the BVR second phase, some corrective measures would have been put in place,” Mutandavari said.
Efforts to get in touch with Moyo or Gumbo were fruitless as their mobile phones were unreachable by the time of going to print.local

Zanu PF rule, French Reign of Terror – drawing parallels

Upenyu Chaota

After the death of Louis XVI in 1793, the Reign of Terror began in France. The first victim was Marie Antoinette, the wife to Louis XVI. She had been imprisoned with her children after she was separated from her husband. The guillotine, the new instrument of egalitarian justice, was put to work. Public executions were considered educational. By July 1794, the Revolutionary Tribunal ordered the execution of 2,400 people in Paris alone and across France, 30 000 people lost their lives.
The Terror was designed to fight the enemies of the revolution, to prevent counter-revolution from gaining ground. Most of the people rounded up were not aristocrats, but ordinary people. A man (and his family) could be sent to the guillotine for raising the mildest criticism against the revolutionary government.
Maximillian Robespierre was the mastermind of the Reign of Terror. He was the leader of the Committee of Public Safety, the executive committee of the National Convention, and the most powerful man in France.
The promises of the Declaration of the Rights of Man were forgotten. The terror was the order of the day. In the words of Robespierre, “Softness to traitors will destroy us all.”
The old maxim “the end justifies the means” describes Robespierre’s policy well but eventually, even the radical Jacobins, the supporters of Robespierre, came to feel that the Terror had to be stopped. Danton rose in the Convention calling for an end to the Terror. He was its next victim.
Fearful of Danton’s reputation of eloquence, the Convention passed a decree stating that any accused person who insulted the court should be prohibited from speaking in his own defense.
Danton was not allowed to defend himself. Nevertheless after the ‘trial’, Danton said “the people will tear my enemies to pieces within 3 months.” As he was led to the guillotine, he remarked, “Above all, don’t forget to show my head to the people – it’s well worth having a look at.” Modesty was never one of his virtues.
Before Danton could be guillotined, he told Robespierre that “today I go and tomorrow you shall follow.”
When Robespierre called for a new purge in 1794, he seemed to threaten the other members of the Committee of Public Safety. The Jacobins had had enough. Cambon rose in the Convention and said, “It is time to tell the whole truth. One man alone is paralysing the will of the Convention. And that man is Robespierre.”
Others quickly rallied to his support. Robespierre was arrested and sent to the guillotine the next day and was the last victim of the Reign of Terror. 
Closer to home, the revolutionary Zanu PF party, which brags that it brought the country’s independence ‘through the barrel of the gun’, has launched its own Terror of sorts.
First it was Joice Mujuru and her ‘Gamatox cabal’ who were sent to the guillotine over allegations of working to usurp power from nonagenarian President Robert Mugabe.
Mujuru was a poster child of the revolution but she was kicked out of Zanu PF over allegations that have not been proven up to date. The same guillotine fell on other ‘heavies’; the likes of Didymus Mutasa and Rugare Gumbo.
Mujuru was stripped off all her liberation war credentials and claims that she gunned down an enemy chopper during the liberation struggle were rubbished as a big lie. She fell onto the sword she had lived by, with her fellow war veterans in the front line to nail her.
Out Mujuru, enter Emmerson Mnangagwa, a shrewd Mugabe ‘loyalist’ who is credited of standing by his master through thick and thin. Mnangagwa replaced Mujuru after she was booted out in 2013.
Nicknamed the crocodile (Ngwena), Mnangawa savoured the moment and kept rubbing salt into the wounds of Mujuru and her axed cabal.
It has to be noted that President Mugabe’s wife, Grace, had played a leading role in the persecution of Mujuru and her cabal, convincing her husband that the Gamatox cabal really wanted to kill him.
From that time onwards, Grace began to show keen interest in national politics and she began her journey by clinching the Women’s League top post.
The person who coined the phrase ‘power is sweet and too much power corrupts’ seemed to have prophesied current developments in the country.
Zanu PF had convinced itself that after flashing out Gamatox, the party had been cleansed of all bad things but the coming of Grace turned tables around and a new faction, Generation 40 (G40), allegedly led by Grace, emerged.
Grace immediately took aim at Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa who was believed to be leading a splinter faction collectively known as Team Lacoste.
The Lacoste faction is deeply rooted in Mnangagwa’s home province, the Midlands and Masvingo. Some people of Masvingo and Midlands believed it was time for a muKaranga to lead.
Another reign of terror began and the revolution began eating its own children, anyone believed to be critical of the system.
The Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association (ZNLWA) leadership, which had a field day when their former boss Jabulani Sibanda was axed for undermining the President when he openly told Grace that power was not sexually transmitted, were the first to be fired after they issued a damning communique against their patron Mugabe, telling him that he had overstayed his welcome.
The ZNLWVA executive, fronted by the highly garrulous chairperson Christopher Mutsvangwa, secretary general Victor Matemadanda and spokesperson Douglas Mahiya was send to the guillotine for challenging the status quo.
The axed war veterans supported Mnangagwa who however never lifted a finger to protect them. The all-powerful Grace, with the backing of her husband and the G40 faction, managed to turn the once feared crocodile into a mere toothless lizard.
The revolution had entered a second phase of purges and this time Mnangagwa, just like Robespierre, was send to the guillotine.
And just like Danton told Robespierre that ‘today I go and tomorrow you shall follow’, Mujuru told Mnangagwa the same and he indeed followed, falling by his own sword—ending the second phase of the reign of terror.
Mnangagwa’s own anti-Mugabe pronouncements, “instead, it is you and your cohorts who will leave Zanu PF by the will of the people” have also come to pass.
The former VP has bounced back with the help of the army and has been named interim party leader pending the Zanu PF extra-ordinary congress and national elections next year.politics
