Zanu PF Chiredzi ward 2 candidate assaulted for ‘dating married woman’


Beatific Gumbwanda

CHIREDZI – Zanu PF Ward 2 candidate for the by-elections slated for August 5, 2017, has been embroiled in a fight for allegedly dating a married police woman stationed at Chiredzi Police Station.
Obert Ngwenya was reportedly stoned while at BancABC branch in town last week by one George Marumbini who accused him of having an affair with his wife.
When contacted for comment, Ngwenya said confirmed the fracas but deneied allegations that he was dating Memory Marumbini, wife to George Marumbini, claiming that it was a smear campaign by party rivals who were not happy with his success at the primaries.
“Marumbini is accusing me for dating his wife. I was stoned at BancABC by Marumbini after he had received an anonymous call alleging me to be dating his wife,” said Ngwenya.
 “As we head towards our ward 2 by-election, it seems more enemies than friends are growing and they are trying to bring me down. They realised that I have many supporters in the camp and they are trying to create bad blood between me and police officers,” he added.
However, Marumbini sternly refused to give his side of the story, choosing to simply say it was a family matter which he could discuss only with his close relatives.
 “I can’t discuss this issue with people who are not my family members, thank you,” said Marumbini.politics

‘Mugabe’s interface meetings; a cycle of same empty promises’

President Robert Gabriel Mugabe


Itai Muzondo

MASVINGO – Opposition youths in the province have dismissed President Robert Mugabe’s impending visit as a waste of resources at a time when most young people stand hardest hit by the country’s economic challenges.
President Mugabe will visit Masvingo on June 30 for the third leg of his ‘Presidential Youth Interface’ meetings that started in Marondera before moving to Mutare last week.
Speaking to TellZim News in different interviews, the youths argued that ordinary young people will gain nothing from the meetings which they rubbished as a recycled dose of empty promises from the veteran leader.
MDC-T National Youth Chairperson, Happyson ‘Bvondo’ Chidziva was scathing in his censure of the meetings, saying they were nothing but a repeat of the same ‘nothingness’.
“These are useless tours because Mugabe has nothing to useful to tell and is no longer capable of defining the future. He is not only old but is ancient too. He cannot connect with the youth today unless he wants to do trivial storytelling,” Chidziva said.
National People’s Party (NPP) provincial youth chairperson for Masvingo, Trust Muganji also dismissed Mugabe’s tours as a waste of resources.
“I think these guys are simply wasting resources. These tours do not change the economic situation in any way. The visit to Masvingo would be relevant only if it was going to bring the promised two million jobs. As youths, we cannot waste time by going there to listen to lies. All we can promise them is that we will speak through the ballot,” Muganji said.
However, Zanu PF deputy youth chairperson Brian Munyoro had a different opinion, choosing to say the meetings were an important platform for youths to devise solutions for their challenges.
“The party created this platform for all youths and not for Zanu PF youths only as many would like to perceive these gatherings. That can obviously never be a waste of resources. Instead, the meetings present a chance for youths to be heard so I urge all youths who are concerned with building a better Zimbabwe and creating a better future for themselves to join us on June 30 when it will be our turn to meet the President,” Munyoro said.
At the Marondera gathering, a fawning Zanu PF national youth chairperson Kudzanai Chipanga shocked many by declaring that President Mugabe and his wife Grace will one day be sitting beside God in heaven, vetting those who will be eligible to enter God’s Kingdom.
In Mutare, party youth league official Innocent Hamandishe was ridiculed for overzealously dressing down invited Zim Dancehall artiste Soul Jah Love.top news

Bikita man killed in Syria bomb explosion

BIKITA – A local man working for a demining company in war-ravaged Syria was on Monday killed in a massive explosion that happened as he tried to neutralise a landmine.
Costa Munoda was working for a demining company called Tetratec in the tattered Middle-Eastern country by the time of his death.
He was from Mukore in Bikita and was a close relative of Zimbabwe People First (ZimPF) elder Rtd Col Claudius Makova.
“I have just been informed that Costa Munoda has been killed in a bomb explosion in Syria while in the field,” said Makova.
Before going to Syria, Munoda once worked for Makova who then ran a demining company funded by the European Union but later on moved to Syria after Makova’s company closed down.
“I owned the biggest demining company in the world and Munoda used to work for me. After the European Union withdrew its funding, the company closed down and most of my workers are dotted around the globe,” said Makova.
He said repatriation of the body and funeral arrangements were yet to be made and will be announced in due course.
Munoda’s friend, Charles Chifedza, who is based in Canada took to social media to express his sadness over the loss of his ‘brother’.
“Rest in eternal peace Costa Munoda my brother. It’s a sad chapter, you shall forever live on in our hearts,” said Chifedza in a Facebook post.local

‘Two Musiso High teachers dating one pupil’


Brighton Chiseva

ZAKA – Two teachers from Musiso High School are alleged to be dating a pupil who is doing her Ordinary Levels at the same school, TellZim news has learnt.
A source who is privy to what is happening said the alleged affairs came to light last week when senior teacher, Climate Mutero was tipped off that there was a pupil in one of the accused teachers’ office.
Acting on the tipoff, Mutero allegedly went and found the pupil (name supplied) in the office alone.
When asked what she was doing there, she reportedly responded saying she was waiting for her boyfriend and was later taken for a disciplinary hearing.
“The student stunned the disciplinary committee when she revealed that one of its members had proposed love to her and at one time had asked her to remove her wrapping cloth (Zambia) so that he could admire her legs,” said the source.
In the hearing, the source said, the girl tried to protect one of the teachers (names supplied) but failed as there was overwhelming evidence that she was in love with him.
The matter was reported to the responsible authority and to the District Schools Inspector (DSI) and the Public Service Commission (PSC).
No comment could be obtained from the DSI and the Provincial Education Director (PED) Zedius Chitiga said he was not aware of the matter.
“I have not received any information about that but if it was reported then maybe it is on its way,” said Chitiga.
The school has recently been plagued by reports of indiscipline since last year including cases of students being caught out of bounds drinking alcohol.
Last year some ‘A’ Level pupils at the school hired a kombi and went to Gutu for a sports event without the authority and knowledge of the school.
Three teachers including deputy head are said to have transferred from the school in what seemed to be a protest over the way things are run at the school.local

Chivhu taxi driver ‘rapes’ stranded woman

Dickson Mapuranga

CHIVHU – A recently-divorced taxi driver, Tafara Prosper Muchena (33) last week appeared before magistrate Winfilda Tiyatara facing charges of raping a 20-year old married woman who was stranded near the Innscor Food Court.
The State alleged that on June 16 around 02:00 hrs, Muchena, who was not asked to plead but was placed on remand until 30 June, lured the stranded woman by offering to charge her phone that had run out of power as she waited for transport at Masvingo station along the highway.
The woman is said to have later went into Muchena’s car to check on the phone so that she could communicate with people at home but Muchena drove the car and parked close to the food outlet where he allegedly fondled her breasts, grabbed her by the neck and raped her once.
After the act, the accused tried to convince the woman to marry him but she refused but he tried to buy her trust by leaving his national identity card, phone number and his jacket with her before driving off to his place of residence.
The victim took advantage of those items and made a report at Chivhu Police Camp around 04:00 hrs.

Mugabe scared of Tsvangirai, says Mudzuri

Engineer Elias Mudzuri

Upenyu Chaota

MASVINGO – One of the opposition MDC-T’s two vice presidents, Engineer Elias Mudzuri last week told a gathering at Zimuto Siding in Masvingo North that President Robert Mugabe is quaking in his boots over the proposed coalition of opposition parties which party leader Morgan Tsvangirai is expected to lead.
Mudzuri said Mugabe knows that Tsvangirai is the only person who is popular with the electorate and having him as the face of the coalition is Zanu PF’s worst nightmare.
“Mugabe would rather have Tsvangirai take a back seat in the coalition because he is the only opposition he fears.
“Tsvangirai is going to lead the coalition and other parties are coming in to support Tsvangirai. Brand Tsvangirai is well-known and in 2018 we say Morgan is more,” said Mudzuri.
Mudzuri said the days people used to be threatened by violence are over and everyone should register to vote once the registration process opens.
“The new Biometric Voting System has dissolved the old voters’ roll so once registration is open, please take everyone to go and register. We cannot take chances in 2018,” said Mudzuri.
He supported the Bereka Mwana campaign launched by the party’s youth assembly and called for the intensification of the door to door campaign.
Zanu PF tried to disrupt the meeting but failed and resolved to hold a counter meeting a stone throw away venue from the MDC-T’s.
The meeting was also graced by other senior members of the party including Amos Chibaya, Tapiwa Mashakada and the Masvingo provincial executive.politics,topnews

Rosemary Buchu, who does her work at Rutenga growth point, was recently convicted by Magistrate Honest Musiiwa after she had pleaded guilty to charges of stabbing Tafadzwa John of house number 561 Newsstands, Rutenga but she has since disappeared from the growth point.
TellZim News was informed that Buchu, who had been sentenced to 12 months behind bars with an option to perform 350 hours of community service, had left for Chipinge without notifying authorities.
“I last saw her the very night she was planning to leave for Chipinge but she showed an interest in escaping to South Africa as she was worried of being caught if she remained in Zimbabwe,” said a source.
Buchu was convicted a few weeks ago for stabbing her drinking mate; John, on February 27 this year after the two had quarrelled over change.
It was heard that Buchu had refused to surrender change after John had sent her to buy some beer.
She then produced a knife from her pocket and stabbed John on his right hand, causing deep injuries that saw him being rushed to Neshuro Hospital for treatment.local

Govt to upgrade Mbuya Nehanda High


Prince Danda

MBERENGWA – Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Dr Lazarus Dokora says the government has accepted requests by villagers in Mberengwa East to upgrade Mbuya Nehanda High School into a boarding school.
Dr Dokora confirmed this on Saturday last week during an outreach programme in the constituency.
The school – the only government high school in the constituency – when upgraded, will be the first boarding school in the area.
“We received a request to upgrade Mbuya Nehanda High School into a boarding school and I want to confirm that the government has accepted the request,” Dr Dokora said.
He also used the visit to dispel widely held perceptions that the he was using the new education curriculum to prop up the Islamic faith.
People of the area say turning Mbuya Nehanda High School into a boarding school will benefit the constituency and Mberengwa as a whole which only has three Lutheran boarding schools namely Chegato, Msume and Masase, all high schools.
Also part of the outreach was the Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development Dr Joram Gumbo and the Member of Parliament for Mberengwa East Makhosini Hlongwane who is also the Minister of Sport and Recreation.
Mbuya Nehanda High School is located in Chief Negove’s area, Jonah village, 76km from Zvishavane due South East.local

Bashed Mwenezi pastor, wife withdraw case

Cephas Shava

MWENEZI – A 31-year-old former employee to Pastor Julius Chimbi of the Covenant Faith Ministry who was standing trail for assaulting the pastor and his wife after they allegedly refused to pay the money they owed him was last week set free by the Mwenezi Magistrate Court after Chimbi’s wife, who had laid charges, withdrew the case.
Magistrate Honest Musiiwa freed Emmanuel Masendeke of Chaka village under Chief Gutuza in Chirumanzu after the complaint, Beauty Chakwesha, a teacher at Chingami Primary School in Mwenezi, withdrew the case to pursue an out of court settlement.
Giving evidence in court earlier on, Masendeke had said he was being framed by the pastor whom he said suspected that he was having an affair with his wife.
The State, led by prosecutor Willard Chasi, alleged that on March 17, 2017 at around 16:00 hrs, Masendeke approached Chakwesha and Chimbi at Chingami Primary School and asked that he be refunded his money that he had used to buy fuel for the couple’s kombi when he still worked as their conductor.
A misunderstanding then followed, leading to the assault which both Chimbi and Chakwesha confirmed in court.
Sources told TellZim News that Chakwesha and Masendeke were forced to settle for an out of court settlement after pressure from within the church.

“Church leaders from as far as Masvingo advised both parties to settle for an out of court settlement.
This was to save the reputation of the pastor and the church after the matter attracted a lot of unnecessary media attention.
Masendeke apologised to the pastor and his wife for what he did,” said a source.local

So you want to get married? Read this first

Samukelisiwe Ngwenyama

GWERU – Bishop Michael Mateta of the Family of God Church in Gweru has published a book titled ‘So you want to get married? Read this First’ to give young unmarried people critical matrimonial foresight.
Bishop Mateta told TellZim News the book, which was written in 2015 and published in Botswana in March this year, can currently be found at Harvest House bookshop in Bulawayo and Scripture Union bookshop in Gweru.
“The book teaches the youth not to mess up their lives with wrong spousal choices but to go up in prayer when choosing their life partners, the need to honour cultural customs like paying lobola and to respect in rules of conduct before and after marriage,” said Bishop Mateta.
Most of the work and the contents of the book were taken from the teachings of his spiritual father, the founder of the church; Prophet Andrew Wutawunashe whom he said has been guiding him over the years.
“I am very sure this book can help anybody who spares some time to read it. It contains valuable information which helps to prevent some common yet costly mistakes that people make prior to marriage and thereafter,” Bishop Mateta said.
He thanked his wife Tsvakai Mateta and Lindo Morolong from Botswana whom he credited for playing vital roles by supporting him up until the book got published.
“I want to continue teaching generations to come through written work because written work cannot be misquoted. I desire to see the youth observing their cultural and Christian values when it comes to marriage and all the important facets of their lives,” Bishop Mateta said.entertainment
