Women advocate for equal opportunities in agriculture

By Staff Reporter

Residents in Masvingo have called on the government to address inequalities in critical agricultural sectors amid accusations of government prioritizing men with political influence in sugarcane farming.

These grievances were raised during a People’s Assembly meeting organized by the Fighting Inequality Alliance Zimbabwe (FIA) Chapter on January 18 at a local church in Masvingo, under the global theme ‘Draw the Red Line Against Inequality’.

One of the attendees, Sungano Zvarebganashe, voiced concerns about the dominance of men in sugarcane farming lamenting the lack of opportunities for women and lack of opportunities for locals in mining where the rich and foreign nationals get preference.

“There are fewer women in agricultural sectors, such as sugarcane farming, which is dominated by men. This hinders women’s progress.

“The mining field is also dominated by foreign nationals in our areas, and people in the mining communities have no chance despite having the desire to. Foreigners have access to mining claims and even end up polluting our water under our watch. Claims are often given to the super-rich, leaving out locals who might have an interest in mining,” said Zvarebganashe.

Participants also criticized the government for imposing heavy taxes on goods, which they said disproportionately affect poor consumers. They called for the taxation of business owners and wealthy individuals to ease the burden on ordinary citizens.

“It is only the poor that bear the burden of heavy taxation from the government. When heavy taxes are introduced, consumers end up paying higher prices for goods. Business owners should also be taxed to share this burden,” said one participant.

Another participant, David Vurayayi called for government to ensure equality in the health department by providing adequate funding for procuring medical supplies for public hospital pharmacies.

“One person is capable of owning many pharmacies across the country with adequate supplies yet provincial hospitals are in lack of adequate supplies. Our pharmacies should provide cheap medical supplies which will benefit both hospitals and the public,” said Vurayayi.

Locals also called for a reduction in taxes for civil servants whose meagre salaries are already a cause for concern.

The event, part of the global movement, aimed to challenge billionaire greed and demand real solutions to economic disparities.

FIA mobilized the gatherings to pressurize governments to prioritize the general public which is less privileged through making investments in critical sectors such as education, healthcare housing and addressing climate issues. Taxing the super-rich is one of the organization’s solutions to providing equality.

Man jailed for assaulting minor daughter’s would-be molester

By Meditation Mposi

A Masvingo man was sentenced to three years in prison for attempted murder after injuring his neighbor’s son, who had come to his house to see his minor child at night, with a hoe.

He will however serve an effective two years after the magistrate suspended one year on condition that he will not commit a similar offense in the next five years.

John Jakarasi (42) of Marevakayi Village under Chief Chikwanda Masvingo was convicted and sentenced by Masvingo Magistrate Innocent Bepura after pleading guilty to the charges.

The state led by Liberty Hove told the court that on October 19, 2024 at around 0000hours the 17-year-old complainant went to Jakarasi’s homestead to see Jakarasi’s minor daughter, his supposed girlfriend.

The boy entered into a room where Jakarasi’s children were sleeping and they screamed alerting their father who came but could not find the intruder.

On his way back to his room Jakarasi shouted that he was going to sleep and will see the boy the following day since he suspected it was him.

Having heard that, the boy came back and Jakarasi caught him and assaulted him with a hoe on the head, right leg and foot. He sustained deep cuts and was admitted at Masvingo Provincial Hospital.

In his defense, Jakarasi said he was angry because it was the third time he caught the complainant, adding that at some point the boy shouted obscenities to him telling him to sleep with his wife and not his children.

He also said the boy threw stones on his house in protest which made him lose his temper.

In passing the judgment Bepura said Jakarasi was wrong in taking the law into his hands but the complainant’s behavior prompted the crime. He added that the complainant went to Jakarasi’s homestead with the intention of having sexual intercourse with the accused’s child which was so wrong.

He however said Jakarasi as a parent was supposed to help with hospital bills after injuring the minor but out of US$500 medical bills he only helped with US$50.

Time to thwart 2030 agenda Acting President

Ladies and gentlemen, Mapombi is happy and is praying to God that we continue receiving rains, mvura isina hasha. That is our only hope as you can see, our leaders do not care about us, they care only about their pockets and kunaya kwemvura is our only chance of survival vanhu vachiita zvavo subsistence farming using the Pfumvudza Presidential inputs. By the way, despite kuti mbeu yacho comes late and usually hainyatsomera, I think it’s one of the few things the so called second republic has done better, at least this year because we may see the results, makore apera aya it was a waste of time kwaisatombonaya zvako and hapana chaibuda. Again the rains are helping the guys who dig graves pachikomo, their work is becoming easier because pasi panyoro. Iko have you seen the rate at which the comrades are dying? Kuita murakatira. Let’s pray for the comrades ladies and gentlemen, tikasadaro chikomo chinozara and other heroes who are doing well in our time will not find place there. But on second thoughts, regai vazadze so that when time comes, we will find chimwe chikomo to bury real heroes who deserve national recognition. This system yekuti munhu anongoita national hero isu tisingatombomuzivi needs to end. We just wake up and hear another national hero has died, you ask ndiyani wonzwa kuti he is just a soldier who rose through the ranks, kuti mbiri yake ndeyei, zero, you just hear his contributions in the liberation struggle tototi hooo, zvakwana chimira  kkk. But these guys should wake up, vanenge vari kupera nechakapedza mbudzi and if they are not careful, vanopera vose kuti hwaa. This time vaenda vaviri ka1, yeah we knew hedu Chenhamo Chakezha Chimutengwende but he has a dark past just like anyone else in government. But to be honest no one thought Kedha will still be alive, taitoti anodai aenda kare but hey, haafi wena kkkk. Zvikakwidza oenda hake China odzoka ava brand new. But I wonder why he is so quiet; is that some kind of tactic or kutopererwa chaiko? Haa I wonder, and I am sure he has accepted that the 2030 vision of postponing 2028 elections is unstoppable.

The pressure is now on him as Acting President kuti anunure vanhu mumadhaka aakavaisa 2017 but then again he is too quiet. Is he part of the 2030 agenda? Whatever the case, do you think he cares about the rest of the nation, when he cannot forgive Marry? I think all those who are calling for him to take action should think twice, is he the kind of man we want as a President? Surely I hate Zanu PF and its current leader but I think Kedha should confess his sins and repent before stopping the 2030 mantra if he can. But he can mhani, he took over the reigns recently. Do you still remember the stern warnings he used to give maG40 those days when Dr Gire was poking the army? PaChiredzi gore riya makanganwa here?  By the way, I think this is the perfect time, he should just convene a press conference as the President, Acting President I mean, yes, he should call a press conference and address the nation, confess his sins that he is the one behind our predicament and then forgive Marry, once he does that, he will freely say, there are some criminals behind the President who are now forcing him to continue to beyond his term limit, he will just have to justify his actions by reminding the people of Zimbabwe that he was simply upholding the President’s wishes when he said he will step down without an iota of resistance. That word harifaniri kusara and he can pronounce it well since pasina L kkk. This is the time to act Kedha, remember in 2017 when Mphoko was left in charge, he had the guts to reprimand his fellow VP Cde Trabablas. He is not the only one, we all know that Uncle Bob had refused to allow Econet to operate in Zimbabwe and then VP Zimbabwe Chibwechitedza Mqabuko Nyongolo Nkomo was left acting when he signed the deal that liberated the Zimbabweans from landlines. We need people who seize opportunities when they present themselves, dai vasina kuita action dai tichiri kungofona nelandline nanhasi, kumusha uko people would book a call at the local school mbuya votofambira kunogashira nhare yavo muoffice maHeadmaster kkkkk.

But on another note, I have a feeling that Oppah Zvipange Muchinguri Kashiri is calling the shots nowadays, she is the defacto President kkk. She is being sent to other Presidents inaugurations Campbell Sexmore Hard and Kedha vakangoti vavava. She has proved to be the most powerful woman in Zimbabwe and Africa as a whole. Mukaita zvekutamba she could be the next in line, she is very dangerous and remember she is said to have been present when the accident that claimed the life of Zimbabwe’s Moses who liberated the people of Zimbabwe but was forced to fail to reach Canaan happened. I know you all know what I am talking about, ndezvekuTongogara makaziva izvi kkkk. Yes that is what I mean, she is notorious and I am sure Kedha is aware of it. I am just warning Kedha to be careful if she is not his ally, but they are both veterans of the liberation struggle who are there to defend the legacy. Word has it that she once gave Dr Gire mucheka wembama vada kupesvuka pesvuka zvavo zviya in front of her. Chozviita chiya.

Mmm nhasi ndataura, yaa, let me go zvangu ndinokanga maputi angu for lunch before you accuse me of yep yepping. But ndisati ndaenda, has anyone heard from the President’s blue eyed boy Murwira? Where is the guy, asi foreign ministry iri kurema here or he is busy striking mega deals tifanogeza zvedu maoko? He is too quiet and I wanted to ask him as the foreign minister, what the odds are that sanctions will be removed since America has a new President. Did he mention anything about us? I am sure ngoma ndiyo ndiyo ini and I want to urge the government to make sure that they invest in health because WHO which had been making some frantic efforts to keep things balanced in here has also been thrown off balance by the withdrawal of USA. I’m sure we can all see that Trump chibaba. We need to brace for the worst ladies and gentlemen, but we have a little hope, with Ba 2’s vision of taking us back to Mutapa dynasty, we will revert back to use of herbs and consulting traditional healers, no more worries about cancer machines, we will rely nemiMvee yedu nomore Benylin for flue, Zumbani will be readily available kkkk.

Parents, schools, government at crossroads over school fees

…government threatens to punish all offenders

By Beverly Bizeki

As schools opened for the first term of 2025, schools, parents, and the government are at crossroads over the payment of fees, as schools are sending learners away for nonpayment of fees against a government directive banning such.
Schools are saying the government owes schools a lot of money in Basic Education Assistance Module (BEAM) fees and is allowing the few who should pay to defy payment since they know learners will not be sent away.
On the other hand, the government is threatening to punish all schools sending learners away, saying the directive still stands despite schools’ operations being affected by a lack of financial resources.
There were several reports of schools sending learners away on opening day, and most schools in Masvingo town did send learners home, where some were seen crossing an overflowing Chimusana Bridge, risking their lives.
Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (MoPSE) Communications Director Taungana Ndoro said the ministry was going to take action on schools not heeding the directive from the government and urged parents to report to district education offices if their children are sent home.
“We are acting on all names of schools submitted to us. Parents must report to district offices when they come across such scenarios,” said Ndoro.
Bikita District Schools Inspector (DSI) James Mahofa, however, said his office had not yet received any reports of schools sending pupils home to collect fees from his district.
Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) president Dr. Takavafira Zhou said there was a need for both school authorities and the ministry to find a way to reach common ground in collecting fees and also prioritize learning time for pupils.
“There is a need to strike a balance. As much as school heads must not send children home for fees, they should be allowed to give pupils letters to remind their parents to come to their respective schools and make school fees payment plans,” said Dr. Zhou.
School heads who spoke to TellZim said banning schools from sending learners away was detrimental to schools progressing, as parents were abusing the policy, ignoring their responsibilities.
“This policy was terribly thought out. It disrupts school operations in a very big way. My thinking is it was meant to blow a wedge between school administrations and parents. Many parents are taking advantage of the fact that they do not pay fees.
“In my case, only about two percent has paid their fees, and most of them do not visit the schools to make payment plans because they do not want to put it in writing. So there is no alternative to get parents to pay fees,” said one head.
Another school head said some politicians were using this policy in campaigning at rallies, further discouraging parents from taking fees payment as a matter of urgency.
“At the local level, politicians that are not pro-education end up talking about this in public places like rallies, which discourages parents from paying fees on time. Schools end up struggling with no financial resources to fund their operations,” said the head.
Another head said the directive worsened the situation for schools’ operations as the government owed schools huge amounts of fees for learners on BEAM.
“BEAM has not been coming for the past three years. BEAM is paid in local currency, and if we are to convert last year’s fees with the current rate, it might be equivalent to a dollar now, and that is nothing. In our case, about half of our children are in BEAM, so it is actually a thorn in the flesh.
“Schools are in a terrible situation. Last year we had 122 out of 350 learners in BEAM, and only about 50 percent paid up. The other half do not care about what happens,” said the head.
One parent said parents were willing to pay fees but, due to the economic situation, many were failing and supported the government’s directive over the matter but, however, called on the government to support the schools for smooth operations.
“We are keen to pay fees because we know they are the lifeblood of schools; however, many are failing because of the economic situation. So we thank the government for allowing learners to go to school even before they pay fees.
“But for schools to run smoothly, the government should intervene and support the schools through grants or paying BEAM fees on time,” said the parent.
The government has been at loggerheads with schools over BEAM arrears, prompting many school heads to demand that the government declare education free for all at once, as the model was crippling schools, especially those in rural areas.

Climate crisis cripples Nyanyadzi Irrigation Scheme

Climate crisis cripples Nyanyadzi Irrigation Scheme

By Courage Dutiro

Coupled with environmental degradation and low rainfall up the Nyanyadzi River last season, once the backbone of agricultural production in the area, the Nyanyadzi Irrigation Scheme is struggling to keep afloat.
The irrigation scheme in Chimanimani District ward 8 has become a shadow of its former self as the impact of climate change has forced farmers to rely on the unpredictable rains.
During its heydays, the irrigation scheme provided year-round work for many locals—however those days seem distant now as its lifeblood, Nyanyadzi River dried up before the rains came, affecting the livelihoods of local communities that depended on it.
One farmer from the B North Wing of the scheme, Trymore Chipise said they were struggling to put decent meals on their tables because of the water situation.
“When the irrigation system is functioning, some farmers hire people for piece work (maricho in Shona) and that allows even locals who are not in the scheme an opportunity to put food on their tables as they are paid in cash and other goods.
“However, with the current conditions, these opportunities have disappeared. I am struggling to make ends meet because we solely rely on farming and the irrigation scheme.
“With the new school term starting, I am finding it hard to afford my child’s school fees and buy the necessary stationery,” said Chipise.
Another farmer Odicious Kondo who used to make a living from the Nyanyadzi Irrigation Scheme said he was experiencing a downtime in farming due to the river’s inability to supply water.
“The drying up of this river has affected us greatly, I am no longer able to do farming activities throughout the year as I used to. For me, farming was not just a way of life but a business and my primary source of income.
“I used to make a living from growing crops that I would sell to locals and others from as far as Mutare and Bulawayo.
“As a result of lack of irrigation water, the irrigation scheme is slowly turning into a grazing land for goats and cattle,” said Kondo.
A Nyanyadzi resident, Cover Mugebe said in the good old days before the environmental atmospheric changes took a toll, the irrigation used to be flourishing, benefitting the community and animals throughout the seasons.
“Farmers used to rotate crops such as wheat, beans, okra, king onions and maize throughout the year. I still remember some time ago, I picked good quality produce more than six times before they started deteriorating in quality.
“Those days we had enough water and the temperatures were not as hot as they are these days,” said Mugabe.
The scheme’s alternative source of water is the Odzi River, but the challenge is on the water pumps that draw water from the river to the holding dam. The pumps hardly work for a longer period and cannot sustain the whole scheme.
Another challenge with Odzi River is the high cost of fees to be paid by farmers when irrigating their crops, as a farmer is supposed to pays US$15 to irrigate one acre of land whereas they pay only US$1 to irrigate the same piece of land when using water drawn from Nyanyadzi River which uses gradient to draw water to the holding dam.
Another farmer Joel Zviuya said he was not sure they would harvest anything meaningful from the irrigation this season.
“The problem is that the water pumps at our alternative source of water in Odzi River are not working. Things have changed, I am no longer sure if the river will be able to sustain our farming throughout the year as it used to do.
“I don’t know if we are going to make it this year. The river started flowing this year in January after it failed to irrigate crops that had been planted earlier by farmers. Last season we had a similar situation and I had poor harvests after the crops were affected by water shortages,” said Zviuya.
Drying up of rivers and dams in the country can also be attributed to siltation caused by human activities such as farming and mining.
The drying up of rivers in Manicaland province is not only affecting agricultural systems but also the tourism sector.
Nyachowa falls in Chigodora area in Mutare District is also reportedly drying up due to environmental degradation up the stream.
