Teachers line up for Zaka West

Brighton Chiseva
Whoever told teachers that they are proper candidates for the National Assembly might have overdone it in Zaka West where four school heads are now readying themselves for the much anticipated 2018 general elections.
Maybe it is because of the notion that teachers can articulate issues better, a quality which National Assembly members are expected to have if they are to make an impact in that esteemed house.
Four Zanu PF members are said to be preparing themselves to replace incumbent Zaka West legislator Vincent Mawere at party primaries. Ophias Murambiwa Magaisa, popularly known as Maga-Maga, is said to be preparing for a second bout after he was sent packing during 2013 Zanu PF primaries where Mawere emerged victorious.
Maga-Maga is a teacher at Harava Primary School. Having lost to Mawere at the previous election, Maga-Maga is said to be on the ground every day trying to convince Zanu PF structures that he is the best man for the job. Chances to win, however, are slim as the school head is being betrayed by limited resources.
When he lost to Mawere, he had more resources as compared to what he has at the moment, and that is probably his biggest handicap. During that time, he had a fleet of kombis plying many local routes but it seems as if he now has none of all that.
Being in the wrong factional could also be a setback for Maga-Maga whose campaign is said to be spearheaded by Amasa Nhenjana, a known G40 fanatic. The faction is believed to be at a disadvantage in Masvingo province where the rival Team Lacoste faction seem to enjoy wider support, therefore, an upper hand in the existing state of affairs.
Zaka West is one of the biggest constituencies in Zaka district and it needs a lot of resources for one to manage to go to every corner to solicit for votes.  
Chrispen Watadza, head at Mudavanhu Primary School who is also Zaka Rural District Councillor for ward 17, is also said to be readying himself for the seat. Though he denied having ambitions to elevate himself from councillor position to a legislator, rumour has it that he is indeed in the race.
In terms of resources, Watadza is also not well-off to afford what it takes to mount a credible challenge against other well-resourced contestants.
Watadza, who chairs the finance committee at the local authority, is well experienced in the operations of the councils and could therefore be a better candidate after all. He talks a lot of sense and is one of the few councillors who are making Zaka RDC operational but he is not known in the constituency. If he is serious about the seat, he needs to start interacting with the electorate in Mawere’s strongholds of Dekeza and Zingwena areas.
Jemias Bangamuseve, the Veza Primary School head, has shown interest in the same constituency although he seem to have the weakest credentials relative to other candidates who have emerged as yet. He is believed to be a man of little means and will find the going tough if he finally decides to give it a go considering that there will be other candidates with more resources in the field.
Bangamuseve is also said to belong to no specific faction as he probably has decided to sit on the fence and watch where the fluid Zanu PF will land others. This could, however, be a big setback for him because little progress can be made in Zanu PF nowadays if you do not identify yourself with a specific faction which you consider stronger.
On the other hand, Mawere, who has been a legislator for quite a long time, now seems to be a better candidate among the Zanu PF candidates and if he plays his cards well, chances of retaining the seat are still there. Being a war veteran can also propel him to the seat as Masvingo is under the leadership of Team Lacoste.
Mawere is well-heeled and has a number of business centres in Zaka named after him. The incumbent legislator also owns many properties in Jerera and is well-known by his electorate. Mawere is one of the few MPs in Masvingo who initiated some notable developments in his area.
He started a road construction project in his constituency, making accessible some areas which were previously inaccessible. The project is yet to be completed but if he manages to complete it before elections, he will be in a better position to easily retain his seat.
Mawere also facilitated electrification of various schools in his constituency and this can be an advantage if he manages to convince the electorate that he is still worthy giving another chance. However, Mawere’s critics say he is not from Zaka hence they need someone who is genuinely from the district. His other setback is that Nhenjana, who was running with him during the 2013 elections shifted his attention and is now campaigning for Maga-Maga. 
Mawere is also not vibrant in the politics of Masvingo as he is rarely seen at most party functions. However, he mingles with the electorate and this can also be an advantage.
The winner from ZANU PF is going to face Festus Dumbu of MDC-T who is a former MP for the same constituency. During his time, Dumbu did almost nothing for the constituency, only taking advantage of the fact that people wanted change during the2008 economic crisis. He has to work really hard or he will be embarrassed like what Heya Shoko did in the Bikita West by-election.
POLITICAL EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATION
The constituency lacks intellectuals since most of the candidates are teachers with at least a diploma in education. Mawere has the most political experience than his rivalries and has been a member of Zanu PF since 1980 and became MP in the early 1990s and has been changing constituencies in Zaka. However, his level of education is not clear and probably he is not that much educated after all.
Magaisa started active politics towards the 2013 elections. In terms of education, he probably has a diploma in education. He seems to be in the G40 cabal since Nhenjana was quoted recently saying he was the one who brought Mawere to Zaka West.
Though he usually attends Zanu PF functions, Magaisa is not an eloquent speaker and this can be a setback to him.
Watadza, being a school head, means he could be a holder of a degree in education and he is a good speaker who, when given the platform, can make a lot of sense. He is also experienced in politics for he was councillor. However, he is still unripe to be MP and the best way for him could be to seek re-election as a councillor in the RDC.
Bangamuseve is a headmaster with probably the same qualifications as other candidates. He has leadership experience since he has been a headmaster for quite a long time.
He was Chief Nyakunhuwa for 10 years and has been crime consultative chairperson for Zaka district. He is an acting schools Inspector in the district. Politically, he seems inexperienced though and has a lot of work to do before he can be a force to reckon with.
This leaves the higher chances between Mawere and Dumbu since no candidates from other political parties have emerged as yet.

‘2018 is time for you to choose or lose’, Buhera youth told
Benevolence Taisekwa

Itai Muzondo

BUHERA – As the 2018 election preparations are fast emerging, MDC-T Manicaland provincial youth secretary general Benevolence Taisekwa said the youth must not lose the opportunity to shape a better future for themselves in 2018.
Speaking to TellZim News, Taisekwa said he had taken it upon himself to use different mobilisation strategies so that the youth can vote for change next year.
“In Manicaland, we have already started engaging the youth through sport so as to directly lobby them on the importance of voting. Young people should not merely lament the bad leadership but fail to vote.
“Sport has a big unifying influence and I believe the message is clearer through such activities. It is better to vote for a leader you know would be accountable to you than lose the privilege by denying yourself the right to vote,” Taisekwa said.
Taisekwa said the first mini soccer gala managed to pull about 200 youths from Buhera Central, adding that political affiliation was not an issue as long as the youth agreed on the need for voting peacefully.
“Our first engagement was quite successful and we managed to spend the day with about 200 youths. We don’t mind one’s political affiliations. Our main focus is to encourage the youths to vote,” added Taisekwa.
On whether he had ambition for higher political office, Taisekwa said he was there primarily to work for the party and would only run for political office if party processes allow him to do so.politics

Chiredzi snubs local contractors in roads rehabilitation

Chiredzi town secretary Charles Muchatukwa

Beatific Gumbwanda

CHIREDZI – The Zimbabwe National Road Administration (Zinara) has allocated US$77 000 to Chiredzi Town Council for roads rehabilitation and the urban authority had made it clear that local contractors will not be given the job due to shoddy work done in the past.
Speaking in a council meeting on Monday, Chiredzi town engineer Wesley Kauma labelled the contractors unprofessional and said council will use manpower and equipment hired form Zinara to do all the required roadworks.
He said some old roads will be resurfaced and those which were not properly done will be attended to soon after potholes had been plugged. He said the local authority had already received US$20 000 from the total amount allocated to them.
“We will no longer entertain local companies to do road construction for us. We will hire Zinara equipment which is a little bit cheap. We will resurface some of the roads soon after we have finished filling up potholes,” said Engineer Kauma.
Last year, there was an outcry after Lion Drive, which had just been surfaced by Clime Construction, a Masvingo – based contractor, began to peel off and develop numerous big potholes a mere three months after work was completed.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Local Government Public Works and National Housing has appointed the council’s new directors to head the finance as well as the housing and community services departments after the posts were declared vacant in 2015.
In a letter which was read by town council secretary Charles Muchatukwa in the meeting, Danister Jori was appointed the new finance director while Emily Paradzai was appointed housing and community services director.
“The new Finance Director and Director of Housing and Community Services will be given three months’ probation period and they will not be paid their maximum salaries during this period,” reads part of the letter.local

What they said on BVR

Panelists Harrison Mudzuri, Dr William Zivenge, Isaac Muzenda and Tongai Matutu.

Last weekend, the Media Alliance of Zimbabwe (MAZ) held a public dialogue with representatives from different political parties to hear their take on the Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) system. The panelists made some great deal of effort to clarify their individual as well as their parties’ position regarding the contentious issue.
Zanu PF was represented by advocate Isaac Muzenda, PDP was represented by former Zaka Central legislator Harrison Mudzuri while NPP was represented by Dr William Zivenge. MDC-T was represented by former Masvingo Urban legislator Advocate Tongai Matutu.
TellZim News managed to summarise some of the most critical views raised in the dialogue.
Mudzuri: He was very vocal in demonising the Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) system. He said the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) now wants to implement BVR because they found out that the previous system had flaws.
He expressed worry that ZEC might not have the expertise needed to implement the system and was also worried with how the electoral body would deal with technical challenges will arise. “BVR comes as a corrective measure to the previous system we have been using of late. Our major worry is that ZEC may fail to address the challenges that may arise during implementation.
“We are not against BVR as a party. However, we say it must be followed correctly from the start. Is it correct now, looking at the regulations imposed by ZEC? The regulations are exposing incompetence and there are a lot of gaps which are there and this means it is not being followed correctly. Chinhu chakanaka chikava mumaoko akashata hazvifambi,” he said.
He said BVR, if properly implemented, offered an effective means to reduce double registration and double voting.
He called for the media to educate people on what BVR is said political parties will not be able to misrepresent fact to rural electorate for the purpose of intimidating them. He highlighted that there was need to spread education on BVR with the same zeal that authorities had shown on other programmes like Command Agriculture.
Dr Zivenge: He said the BVR concept itself was good but highlighted that the system had its own weaknesses as it was prone to manipulation.
“BVR is very competitive and it reduces human error, it is automatic and qualitative. BVR is precise in terms of human identification. Data is easy to consolidate and you can’t say where there are twelve thousand voters, after voting you end up having 29 thousand votes, so data is easy to consolidate.
“However, in Zimbabwe, it is problematic because there is poor technology appreciation index is 0.1 as compared to Yemen which has five out of seven.
“It is like blindfolding people and ask them to go to a certain point. It is the use of a computer for registration just like what is done when getting national identity cards. However, one thing a computer is known for is data.
“There is a database or a server which no one here knows where it is being stored. There are chances of duplication. One can register here and go to Plumtree and register again if the server is not secured. How can we do checks on duplication if we do not know where the server is? We need to also do trial testing; every party needs to be given a chance to test it through mock or dummy elections to check on loopholes.
“After that, there is need to train the implementers. They have to know of the loopholes then try to tighten them. People need to be educated on how they will register and to check their names as well as having a chance to audit. We have to know where the system is coming from and who will be manning it,” said Dr Zivenge.
He juxtaposed the relationship between BVR and ZEC with that of a beautiful woman who gets married to Mr Baboon; the beautiful lady becomes Mrs Baboon by association.
Muzenda: He was very clear on the position of his party regarding BVR. He said all the other parties were crybabies and will be defeated with or without BVR. He said his party was not in any way involved in the procurement of the kits but will be instrumental in teaching people on how it will work once ZEC finishes all the modalities.
“People say we rig elections but the truth is they do not want to face reality. Zanu PF will win any election because it is the popular party.
“If the BVR system will make the opposition happy, then so be it but the truth shall remain and Zanu PF will win again. There are other opposition parties who become emotional when they try to demonise BVR because they lack knowledge on what is being talked about.
“BVR is not a monster as many would like to think and people should not just rush to criticise before gathering all the facts,” he said.
Matutu: The youthful lawyer is credited with being the first politician to advocate for the adoption of an electronic voter registration system through a motion he moved in parliament back in 2009 and was seconded by Pishayi Muchauraya.
“We need to have three categories of people whom we need if we want to interrogate this system fully and have a perfect system.
“We need people who think technically, we need those who think legally and have people who can engage in a particular political process and make sure that at the end of the day, we come up with the process that we want.
“The challenge that we have now is to have a full understanding of what is being implemented. This is the challenge yekufunga kuti tichabirwa sei. The issue is not to think kuti tichabirwa because mbavha itoripo. The issue is to think of how to stop it. Let’s invest in skills and technical abilities to make sure that BVR becomes the perfect animal that we want.
“We are past the stage of discussing whether BVR is going to be implemented or not.  Political parties need to take their time to train people on how they can see and stop the thieves from stealing the votes.
“The media needs to bring the right people who can explain things. We have a problem with people who praise something they have never seen and others who criticise something they have never seen,” said Adv Matutu.politics

Mentally-challenged Rusape woman kills mother


Nashe Mahachi in Mutare

RUSAPE – A mentally-challenged woman was arrested last week for assaulting and killing her mother.
Violet Kadoma (34) of Kanyangira Village, Dzairo Area under Chief Makoni in Rusape is in police custody for allegedly killing his mother Emily Kadoma (78).
Manicaland deputy police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Chananda said the incident happened on June 24 at 09:00 hrs.
“Violet and Emily stayed together in Rusape. Emily’s son Andrew Kadoma (58) and his wife Annah Tonatsasei (50) of the same area saw the two quarrelling. They watched from a distance of about 200 metres and Violet started assaulting her mother with fists, open hands and unknown objects all over the body.
“Emily entered into their bedroom while screaming but Violet followed and she later came out of the bedroom alone. Andrew went to check on Emily and found her dead lying on the floor,” said Assistant Inspector Chananda.
“A police report was made and police attended the scene and Violet was arrested. The body of Emily was taken to Rusape General Hospital for a postmortem. She had bruises all over her body, a deep cut on the left check and deep cut on the back of the head near the right ear,” said Ass Insp Chananda.
In a telephone interview, Andrew Kadoma said he was pained by the death of his mother.
“We were used as a family that our mother and Violet always quarreled for little things. We did not think it will end this way. We saw them fighting but it was a usual thing.
“I was shocked when I went to check on her to discover that she was dead. We are saddened by the death of our mother. Our sister is mentally-challenged and everyone knows that but we did not think she would do such a thing,” said Andrew.local

Mwenezi man left for dead over fake Bond Notes

Cephas Shava

MWENEZI – A villager who tried to pay for a hired transport service allegedly using a fake five dollar bond note was savagely beaten by three friends who felt hard done by the deal, the Mwenezi Magistrates Court heard last week.
Lawrence Vengai (39), Abraham Musekwa (30),  Prosper Guni (19) who all reside in different villages under headman Gororo, Chief Nemauzhe in Chivi were convicted, on their own plea of guilty, for assaulting Munyaradzi Paringa.
Magistrate Honest Musiiwa sentenced the trio to eight months imprisonment of which two months were conditionally suspended.
Asked by the magistrate what made them to brutally assault their victim, the trio said they were angered by the fact that the person had hired them yet wanted to cheat them by using fake money to pay for the services.
The court heard that on June 19, Vengai was at Lundi business centre when he was approached by Paringa requesting to be ferried to Helani village. The two agreed that Paringa will pay two dollars for the service.
Vengai approached Musekwa and Guni to accompany him and they complied and they drove the car to Helani village.
Upon reaching the destination, Paringa gave Vengai a five dollar bond note for the service but Vengai began to question the authenticity of the money leading to an argument.
Musekwa and Guni intervened and took turns to assault Paringa with fists, logs and open hands, accusing him of issuing fake money. 
Paringa later managed to escape but the trio had already caused immense harm on his body and was taken to Neshuro District Hospital for treatment.
A medical report that was produced in court showing that the victim sustained severe injuries. Willard Chasi appeared for the State.local

Bulawayo deaf beauty breaks barriers

Thandinkosi Sibanda

Lance Chigodo

BULAWAYO – With big dreams and confidence, Thandinkosi Sibanda, a stunning local model who is deaf, recently defied the odds and contested alongside other fully able-bodied beauties in the Miss Cultural Zimbabwe pageant held at Horizon Pub.
The 21-year-old beauty turned many heads through a flawless performance and finished as a finalist ahead of a bevy of other beauties.
The tittle, held on May 26, saw Zandile Ncube becoming Miss Cultural, with Amanda Nyoni  and Anita Kubi as the First and second Princesses respectively.
 “It felt really great contesting for the first time against models who are not living with my condition. I performed the same way as other contestants, with the only difference being that the others could hear while I could not,” said Sibanda.
Iconic Model founder and Miss Cultural Zimbabwe organiser, Nilton Makazhu praised Sibanda as a remarkable model with vast talent.
“For the first time, Miss Cultural has had a model living with a disability and she turned out to be impressively good. She has a bright future in front of her,” said Makazhu.
The immaculate Sibanda began her modelling career only this year when she contested at the Miss Deaf Zimbabwe Pageant in March where she was crowned Miss Personality.
Inspired by the television show Project Runway on Fashion TV, she has now set her sights on the fashion industry and is working to begin her studies in that area.
Her family and friends, especially sibling Bonginkosi and friend Leona Nyarota have been supportive of her dreams and passion.
She hopes to support the modelling industry for people living with disabilities and help other deaf models live their dreams.
“I would like to see more beauty pageants for the deaf taking place in the country and see their modelling industry grow,” Sibanda said.local

We are committed to fair opportunities for the disabled, chiefs say

Vengai Kurunzirwa and Masvingo District Administrator (DA) Roy Hove at the meeting

Moses Ziyambi

MASVINGO – People living with disabilities must stand up tall and take all the opportunities that are available with the knowledge that traditional leaders and the constitution are by their side, chiefs from Masvingo province have said.
They were speaking at an engagement meeting recently organised by Masvingo Young Voices, an organisation which seeks to advance the welfare and rights of people living with disabilities.
Topics that were discussed included disability vis-à-vis such issues as land, education, marriage rights, accessibility of public places, and employment.
An aide to Chief Charumbira, James Mazvidza said people living with disabilities needed not wallow in self-pity but should stand up and claim the same rights as everybody else because they were no lesser citizens.
“People living with any form of disability must know that they too are created in the image of God and must therefore stand up with confidence. Musapfeka zviso zvekuhwisa tsitsi. Zvasiyana nekare kwainzi kana mai vakazvara chirema vainzi durai zvamakaita. 
“As traditional leaders, we are fully aware of the challenges faced by people living with disabilities and they have our support. Every village head is obliged to keep record of people with disabilities in his village so that their needs are properly handled should there be any social-uplifting programme from the government,” said Mazvidza.
Chief Murinye, on the other hand, spoke on the issue of people living with disabilities being denied access to land saying the Lands ministry was responsible for land allocations but traditional leaders should always be ready to assist.
“If you feel a village head has violated your right to agricultural land, you have to take action and approach higher authorities. Nobody should be deprived of the right to earn a living simply because they are living with a disability. The chiefs are there to help protect your rights,” said Chief Murinye.
Simbarashe Makazhe, a Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU) student who relies on the services of a wheelchair to move about, said though progress had been made, much more still needs to be done to defeat discrimination.
“It begins at a personal level; the attitudes that we have and the language we choose to use every day. Why not shun such retrogressive terms as chirema icho, bofu iro, mbeveve iyo?
“We also want an inclusive social arrangement whereby no institutions or facilities are built exclusively for us, we want inclusive schools so as to fight stereotypes,” said Makazhe.local

Touch not Mzembi, Mugabe tells Masvingo

Touch not Mzembi, Mugabe tells Masvingo

Masvingo South legislator and Minister of Tourism Walter Mzembi

Upenyu Chaota

President Robert Mugabe has once again made clear his unreserved support for Masvingo South legislator and Minister of Tourism Walter Mzembi by publicly ordering the political leadership in the province to respect the youthful minister whom he said deserved yet another term as a Member of Parliament (MP).
Addressing thousands of Zanu PF supporters at a youth interface rally in Masvingo last week, Mugabe said he was disappointed to learn that there were some people who did not like Mzembi in the province despite the fact that the Tourism minister was among his best ministers in the current cabinet.
The President openly told the crowd that Mzembi was not going anywhere.
The veteran politician said he learnt about the problems affecting Masvingo province through Mzembi who later on facilitated a dialogue between the MPs in the province and the two ministers Shuvai Mahofa and her Pyshchomotor counterpart Josaya Dunira Hungwe.
Hungwe and Mahofa are known for fighting Mzembi in the province and are advocating for the takeover of sugarcane farms that belong to Tongaat Hullet while Mzembi and other MPs in Chiredzi are vehemently opposed to the idea.
“It was Mzembi who came to me and told me that he was no longer in good books with ministers Hungwe and Mahofa over the issue of Tongaat Hullet sugarcane farms. Mzembi told me that he wanted to facilitate a meeting between MPs from Masvingo and those who were advocating for the takeover of sugarcane farms … we held two meetings – one at State House while the other one was held at Triangle.
“Up to now we are still failing to have a common ground…. however, I want to tell you that no one shall be allowed to grab a sugarcane farm from Tongaat Hullet,” said Mugabe.
However, Mugabe’s remarks did not go down well with Team Lacoste sympathisers who are already plotting to defy the President through demonstrating against Mzembi.
Leaked WhatsApp group messages seen by this publication show that Lacoste sympathisers are planning to humiliate Mugabe by slapping Mzembi and Minister of State for Manicaland Provincial Affairs Mandiitawepi Chimene as well as Manicaland provincial chairman Samuel Undenge with votes of no confidences.
According to the leaks, the demonstrations against the trio are supposed to be kick-started anytime soon.
In the WhatsApp messages, Brain Munyoro – a well-known Lacoste sympathiser and Zanu PF provincial youth executive member for Masvingo province, and his fellow group members, engage in a no-holds barred discussion against Mzembi, labelling him a sell-out due to his alleged close links to Mugabe.
Asked to comment about how he felt after Mugabe’s remarks in Masvingo concerning his role in the issues affecting the province, Mzembi said there was need for Masvingo leadership to respect each other.
He also bemoaned how some of the party bigwigs were now abusing Mugabe’s name in order to deceive the public into believing that whatever the ministers or politburo members were saying had the President’s blessing.
“Nhamo yedu mumumusangano ruvengo nedzvene, ndihwo uroyi hwemasikati, makuhwa evarume anopfuura emadzimai. Chimwe chifo manyepo, kurevera vakuru nhema ‘President vati’, ndanga ndina President’, ‘Ndatumwa na President’, kusaita matyira nezita ra President … ko isu tinogara navo mumatare makambonzwa tichisevenzesa zita ravo pese pese here? Dai tamira izvozvo tisevenzere vanhu takanyarara,” said Mzembi.
TellZim News is reliably informed that Mzembi is being sacrificed by Masvingo’s top Zanu PF leadership for opposing the takeover of Save Valley conservancy as well as Tongaat Hullet sugarcane farms.
In the cabinet meeting on Tuesday last week, Mzembi reportedly urged Mugabe to take advantage of the Masvingo interface rally to talk about policy issues mainly concerning Tokwe-Mukosi dam as well as the Tongaat Hullet sugarcane farm invasion saga.
With nine years at the helm of Tourism Ministry, Mzembi automatically qualifies as the most senior cabinet minister from Masvingo province.local,topnews
