Tongaat Hullet boosts Chivi Community Share Ownership Trust

Chivi assistant District Administrator (DA) Wafios Hlavati

TellZim Reporter

CHIVI – The Chivi Community Share Ownership Trust has received a boost after Tongaat Hullet poured in money being used to construct a shopping mall at the growth point.
The donation falls in line with the government’s indigenisation programme which the sugar giant has pledged to support with a US$1.5 million cash injection.
Part of the money amounting to US$300 000 has already been released and work at the mall is progressing well.
Chivi assistant District Administrator (DA) Wafios Hlavati said the district has always been at the centre of development in the province and will always be unique in ideas.
“You cannot talk about development without mentioning Chivi. The word Chivi is an abbreviation of Committed Hardworking Innovative Visionary Individuals.
“The shopping mall project is using money provided by Tongaat Hullet and we are confident the project will keep generating money. Investing in buildings is a good move because buildings appreciate value and do not easily depreciate,” said Hlavati.
The ten-roomed shopping mall will house different businesses that will be paying rentals which will be later used to benefit the community.
The Ministry of Youth, led by its Masvingo provincial head John Mbizvo, is overseeing the success of various projects undertaken by all the districts using money availed by Tongaat Hullet.business

Odzi man jailed for assaulting cop

Nashe Mahachi

MUTARE – An Odzi man who was found guilty of assaulting a police offcer was last week slapped with a 12 months jail term.
Charles Muparutsa (24) was convicted on his own guilty plea when he appeared before Mutare magistrate Innocent Bepura.
Muparutsa told the court that he was drunk when he committed the offense and was not aware that the complainant was a police officer although he was dressed in his police uniform.
The cop was left bleeding from the attack after he tried stopping Muparutsa from fighting with his friend at a bottle store at Nyamatsine business centre.
In passing the sentence, Bepura said the law does not condone Muparutsa’s behavior and that he deserved a stiff custodial sentence which would act as a deterrent to other would be offenders.
However, four months of the sentence were set aside on condition of good behavior leaving him to serve an effective eight months jail term.

Suspected Zanu PF youths burn conservancy property in Mwenezi
A scene at Mujingwe Conservancy after the attack

Cephas Shava

MWENEZI – A group of suspected Zanu PF youths who are said to be linked to other 13 party youths who were recently arrested in connection with destroying property at Mujingwe Conservancy, on Tuesday morning went on the rampage burning houses, lodges and cars at the conservancy.
Though no immediate comment could be obtained from the police, sources confirmed the incident and said the situation is currently tense at the conservancy as the youths are reportedly vowing that sabotage will continue till their plight are addressed.
Armed riot police officers have reportedly been deployed at the scene to try to avoid a repeat of the arson attacks.
“The incident happened after police destroyed a base which was recently set-up in the conservancy by the youths. The police destroyed the base demanding that the youths should vacate. The youths had earlier on given the conservancy owner an ultimatum of 48 hours to vacate the property.
“In revenge, the youths confronted the police officers and gun shots were heard in broad daylight. The police were caught by surprise and they ran away after being overpowered by the youths who later captured one of the officer and severely assaulted him,” said a source who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Other sources said after the officers were forced out of the conservancy, the youths went on the rampage; burning three houses, lodges and four cars belonging to the conservancy.
Mujingwe Conservancy is said to be co-owned by ZimParks and a prominent businessman identified as Mazibuko who took it over following the expulsion of the former white owner.
The youths are said to be angry that the conservancy has not been given to them as promised by some top party leaders.local

Chivhu man in court for raping daughter


Elliot Jinjika

CHIVHU – A 44-year-old man from Chidumuro village under Chief Chivese, last week appeared in the Chivhu Magistrates Court facing charges of repeatedly his daughter from as far back as 2012.
The accused, who may not be named to protect the victim, is younger brother to a Member of Parliament (MP) and cabinet minister. 
He pleaded not guilty to the rape allegations when he appeared before magistrate Fadzai Mutombeni but was put on remand pending continuation of trial.
Led by Nicholas Mabvongodze, the State charged that on January 25, 2012 at around 22:00 hrs, the man, who was represented by his lawyer Admire Rubaya, entered the complainant’s bedroom where he closed the mouth of the girl and raped her once.
It is alleged that from that day onwards, the man raped the girl, who is now 17-years-old and is attending a local secondary school, several times in the same bedroom using the same method up until April 2017.
The State also alleges that on May 7 this year, the girl went to Harare for the school holidays where she picked up courage and divulged the alleged rape to her uncle.
The uncle then accompanied the girl to Borrowdale Police Station where she filed a police report two days later.
In another case, a Featherstone man appeared before the same court for allegedly raping a 15-year-old speech-impaired teenager.
Knowledge Dziva, of Dziva viallge under Chief Nyoka, was charged with raping the girl in April this year.
Prosecutor Nicholas Mabvongodze alleged that on April 14, 2017, Dziva visited the complainant’s homestead and got into the kitchen where he began to share traditional beer with the girl’s grandfather, who is blind and deaf due to old age.
Dziva allegedly took advantage of the old man who was quickly getting drunk and dragged the girl to the main house where he raped her on a sofa.
Unbeknown to Dziva, a villager identified as Blessing Makova had seen him dragging the girl to the main house and had alerted other villagers who then gathered around the house and apprehended him.
The girl allegedly failed to explain what had happened and the attacker was left scot free until May 13 when she disclosed the ordeal to a Constable Mafaindi.
Dziva was not asked to plead but was placed on remand waiting to appear in the Chivhu Magistrates Court this week.local

Chipinge man burn children to death

Nashe Mahachi

CHIPINGE – In a horrific incident that left the Maunganidze villagers of Chipinge shell shocked, a 44-year-old man allegedly burnt his two children to death.
The incident happened recently in Maunganidze village under Chief Mutema.
Fashion Mupakati (44) is said to have had a misunderstanding with his wife Precious Kadumbu sometimes in May and that led to the arson attack many weeks later.
Manicaland provincial police spokesperson Inspector Tavhiringwa Kakohwa confirmed the incident and added that Mupakati was at large.
“We are appealing to anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of Mupakati to report to any nearest police station.
“As police, we urge families to solve their differences amicably and avoid unnecessary deaths. They can seek counseling from us and from any elderly family members,” said Inspector Kakohwa.
Kadumbu is said to have left the homestead to an unknown destination leaving behind the three juveniles in custody of their father.
On the fateful day, a neighbour identified as Prisca Tomu discovered that the house in which the three children were sleeping was on fire and she rushed to the scene to investigate.
Upon arrival, she heard the three children crying for help. The door was locked from outside. Prisca then alerted other villagers who broke the door and managed to rescue one of the children, Tanaka (12).
Tanaka sustained severe burns and was battling for his life at Birchenough Hospital by the time of writing.
The other two, Trish and Trinity were burnt to death. After committing the offence, Fashion fled from the scene and he was still at large by the time of writing.local

I am still in ZAOGA, says Evangelist Saungweme
Evangelist Saungweme

Increase Gumbo

CHIREDZI – Jesus for Africa Evangelistic Ministries (JFAEM) leader Paul Saungweme has broken his silence on his purported exit from Zaoga Forward in Faith Ministries, saying he was still a follower of Bishop Ezekiel and Eunor Guti.
There have been widespread speculations that Saungweme had left Zaoga and had decided to start his own church.
In an interview with TellZim News after his five day crusade held at Tshovani Stadium recently, Saungweme said that it was mere hearsay that he had separated himself from Zaoga, claiming he started JFAEM with the ‘anointing’ of Bishop Guti.
 “I am still a follower of Bishop Guti; I still go to Zaoga if I do not have a schedule elsewhere on Sundays. Bishop Guti is still my father. It’s only that I now have a ministry not a church, just like David in the in the Bible, he was the son of Jesse but served Saul,” said Saungweme.
He said JFAFEM was a combination of different church believers who come together and preach the word of God to the people for salvation’s sake.
“JAFEM is not a church, we are a ministry comprising believers from different churches who come together and preach the word. Our aim is to spread the word of God to the people so that people can be saved,” said Saungweme.
“The idea is to spread the word of God to every corner and at the end of the day, a person should choose a church. Just like what Joyce Meyer does, she preaches the word and people choose their church. JFAFEM is not a church,” he said.
The crusade attracted thousands of people and was graced by pastors from different churches such as Awake Grace Ministries, Zaoga, Reformed Church in Zimbabwe (RCZ) and other inter-denominational alliances like the Evangelical Fellowship in Zimbabwe (EFZ) and Pastors Fraternal.religion

Zaka DA bans Heal Zimbabwe

District Administrator (DA) Victor Zinanga

…chief walks away in protest

Brighton Chiseva

ZAKA – District Administrator (DA) Victor Zinanga last week told a full Zaka Rural District Council (RDC) meeting at Jerera that Heal Zimbabwe was not welcome in the district, saying the civic organisation had not signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the local authority.
Zinanga told councillors, chiefs and legislators who attended the meeting that they should not welcome people from the organisation in their communities.
“Heal Zimbabwe is not welcome in Zaka! If they come to you, turn them down because Zaka has not signed an MoU with the organisation,” said Zinanga.
A few weeks ago, the organisation, which works to promote peace, harmony and healing at community level, helped to organise a soccer tournament for the youth in the district.
Zinanga, however, said Heal Zimbabwe had simply hijacked a programme which had been started by Zaka Central Member of Parliament (MP) Paradzai Chakona.
After Zinanga has made the announcement, Chief Nhema born Rangarirai Bwawanda, raised objections against the order, asking Zinanga why Heal Zimbabwe must now be banned when it was the DA himself and Chakona who had allowed them to organise the soccer tournament.
A heated exchange between the two followed, with the DA telling Chief Nhema that he was being childish, an insult which caused the chief to walk out of the meeting.
When contacted for comment, Heal Zimbabwe director Rashid Mahiya said the organisation was legally registered and there was no law that obligates them to have a MoU with anyone in order to carry out their work.
 “We are a conflict-sensitive organisation which would ordinarily seek to avoid conflict but we are guided by the constitution. We have community structures in Zaka. I hope the DA does not think he is the law nor is opposed to our message of peaceful co-existence.
“We submitted our documents to the PA (Provincial Administrator) two years ago to show our conflict sensitivity,” Mahiya said.
Zaka is one of the districts which recorded some of the most gruesome cases of political violence in the recent past and is known for the petrol bombing of MDC-T offices during the June 2008 presidential election run-off election, an attack which left two people dead.local,politics

Mr and Miss Masvingo Poly after their crowning

Brighton Chiseva

MASVINGO – Panashe Mbewe and Simbarashe Mbabvu were last week crowned Miss and Mr Masvingo Poly respectively after a tightly-contested competition held at the Charles Austin Theatre.
The two winners emerged victorious after beating a total of 14 other equally determined contestants.
Shantel Mahaso and Rudo Mukatyamari were crowned 1st and 2nd Princesses respectively while Tariro Chisuvi was crowned Miss Personality. Farai Masenda and Tinashe Misha were crowned 1st and 2nd Princes respectively.
Mbewe said she had always been confident that she was going to win, having previously won the Miss Personality title last year.
“The competition was stiff since there were other bug names among the contestants like last year’s Miss Valentine Masvingo,” said Mbewe.
On the other hand, Mbabvu said he was surprised by the win as it was his first time to contest in such a competition.
“I was surprised by the results since it is my first time to compete. I thank my friend Tracy Masunda for she is the one who persuaded me to contest,” said Mbabvu.
Masvingo Polytechnic College Student Representative Council (SRC) president Promise Mudavanhu thanked the college administration for the financial support they extended to the contest, itself a brainchild of the SRC.
“Next year we will ask for more financial support from local business people. This year we were supported by George Maponga,” said Mudavanhu.entertainment

So our late Mbudzi wrote ‘O’ Level for Chiwenga?

So our late Mbudzi wrote ‘O’ Level for Chiwenga?

Kkkkkkk Zimbabwe and its leadership!
Mapombi heard munyika maita umwe anenge mupengo unonzi Nkosana Moyo who thinks he can come from self-exile and become President of this country. President Mugabe once said kana wafemerwa nemukadzi kumba worota watonga nyika ino – zviroto zviroto!
And this Nkosana guy is really a joke; honestly after running away in 2001 and spending close to two decades in the diaspora tichisvuurwa nenhamo yaMugabe toga muno, he suddenly pops up hanzi ndava kuda kuita President kkkkkkkk nhamo.
Zimbabwe is not Mberengwa Cde! He neglected chin hygiene long time ago and it’s really difficult to trust such a person to run the whole country when he cannot even take care of his chin. Mapombi laughed lungs out when she saw some pictures of Nkosana moving around the streets eating sugarcane and boarding kombis kkkkkkkk bambo vangu makainonokera colgate.
Mapombi’s advice to Nkosana is very simple; do not follow people Cde but let people follow you.  Kana iri nzara why can’t Nkosana join Mnangagwa camp and stop bringing confusion among opposition parties.
But Mapombi is happy Morgan Tsvangirai summed it up recently when he signed something with the leader of Transform Zimbabwe, Jacob Ngarivhume. Hanzi rwizi runozara nemadiriro so it is all these tributaries which would eventually feed into Save, the biggest river in the country.  Musazoti hamuna kuzvinzwa vana Joice Mujuru, Egypty Dzinemunhenzva, Tendai Biti, Welshman Ncube and Simba Makoni nevamwewo vasati vava kuzikanwa sana Nkosana Moyo.
But Mapombi has realised one thing about Zanu PF and MDC-T of late. Have you ever noticed that these two political parties no longer use recent pictures of their leaders? Zanu yava kushandisa picture yaMugabe yekuma 1980 while MDC-T uses Tsvangirai’s picture yekuma2008. Mapombi guesses the reasons are obvious – kuchembera nekurwara!
But why afraid to use current pictures if that is the person you believe in? Why not use Mugabe iyeye wachembera or Tsvangirai ari kurwara iyeye kana ari iye wamuri kuda? After all who doesn’t know that Mugabe wachembera? Or that Tsvangirai is not feeling well?  Please do not use yester year pictures tipeiwo cuurent pictures so that we know how our leaders look like at the moment.
Anyway, can someone who really know this Pyschology Maziwisa guy tell me kuti dzakanyatso kuti kwesere here or dzakangotambawo nevana sedzana Mapombi?  Mapombi thinks this Maziwisa guy is overrated – the truth is that he is a dunderhead. Bharanzi zvaro.
How can he say all old people must be assisted to vote? Kutsvaga kuda kubiririra masikati machena – who says old people cannot vote at their own?
Mapombi begins to think that Maziwisa akataura dimikira; he was actually referring to his party president Mugabe that he no longer thinks properly therefore he must be assisted to vote come 2018. Ndomafungirewo avo vaPyschology zvisinei chiringazuva chedu chabva chatsvuka chikakwata saka nyaya yavo ngatimboisiira pano tozoibata muchikamu chinotevera.
Mapombi was so excited by the news she got few days ago. Mapombi heard zvakazonyandurana manje gonzo nachin’ai and things are not so well between Professor Jonathan Moyo and Army Commander Constantino Chiwenga. I heard masecrets ese ava kubuda manje.
Mapombi heard kuti our late Retired Colonel Kudzai Mbudzi is the one who wrote ‘O’ Level examinations for Chiwenga kkkkkkkkkkk. We all know Mbudzi was damn intelligent – that might be very possible. Mapombi heard again that even the doctorate (PhD) our good commander vakaitirwa futi kkkkkkk gore rino. Handei tione!
Gariswa madhara aya kungonyepera kuchenjera nyambiswa hapana chinozivikanwa. Gore riya we heard that our former RBZ governor Gideon Gono vaiitirwa PhD yavo naDr Munyaradzi Kereke. Now we are hearing that the army commander vakatonyorerwa even ‘O’ Level chaiyo kkkkkkkk.
Politics is a dirty game kana madzida motoshinga because chokwadi chese chinobuda pachena. Anyway, we are waiting to hear who did Dr Chiwenga’s PhD for him. As long as we have internet connection our good Professor Moyo will soon tweet. Tichaonerera nhaka.
At least we now know kuti madhara aya hapana zvinozivikanwa kungwarira paguyo sehuku. They use power to get anything – from beautiful women, wealthy to academic qualifications.
It’s almost lunch time guys let me go ndindozvikangira hangu maputi angu for lunch but will pass through nekuTanaiwa market looking for rotten bananas. But last week ndakamboiitei yoghurt from Gushungo dairy. Wish if we can have another youth interface rally again here in Masvingo ndimboipamha zvakare yoghurt. Mapombi now knows why varume vachirambira pazvigaro ava vari kudya tunonaka – didn’t you see them eating Lays that day? Isu vana Mapombi tichingokuvara nawo maputi.
By the way, Mphoko is too quiet these days – Mapombi is very sure that he is brewing something. Very soon he will crack another shocker – don’t forget he is the same guy who spent close to two years living in a five star hotel ka uyu. Mphoko imboko!mapombi
