Villagers protest Bikita RDC ‘land grab’
Tanyaradzwa Tizora
Over 40 villagers in Musavengana village near Nyika growth point are crying foul after recent moves by Bikita Rural District Council to forcibly remove them without compensation against an agreement they entered into with the council when their land was shortlisted for the expansion of the growth point. 
Nevison Matambura, who represents the affected villagers said council promised to relocate them to a nearby farm with enough space for them and their livestock but they are now being asked to pay US$6 800 for them to be given new stands.
“Council was allocated land at a nearby farm by our chief where we were supposed to be relocated but they took it and pegged the land to sell it to outsiders coming from places like Zvishavane. They now require US$2 800 upfront for us to just see the stands.
When we approached them, they said they required those who had settled in the area before 1986 to pay $6 800 for them to get two stands. For those who settled after 1986, they have to pay the same amount to get one stand and these are not enough for us and our livestock,” Matambura said.
He accused council of reneging on its pledge to give adequate compensation for any of their land that the council wants to incorporate into its Nyika commonage.
“If they can’t do that, they must give each one of us two stands for free and if we are to pay, we pay for a third one going forward,” he said.
Asked for a comment, Bikita RDC Chief Executive Officer Peter Chibi said that all the affected villagers who were legally settled at Musavengana were going to receive their compensation as agreed.
“The villagers are misrepresenting the facts on this issue. As council, we are going to compensate only those who are legally settled in the area,” said Chibi, without elaborating how they will determine legality since people in communal areas have neither title deeds nor offer letters.
Villagers should engage organisations such as ZLHR to ensure that their rights are not trampled upon.news

Zaka ‘Mubobobo’ man terrorises villagers

Zaka ‘Mubobobo’ man terrorises villagers
Brighton Chiseva
A Zaka man, with an insatiable appetite for sex but with very little or no charming skills at all, in his depravity decided to use juju known as mubobobo to have sexual intercourse with both girls and married women in the village.
Vuramai Tsikirai, from Chinouriri village under Chief Ndanga, has shocked people in his area with his alleged new method of using ‘handkerchief juju’ to lure women into having sex with him.
The latest method, which no longer involves his other mubobobo way of entrancing women by a handshake, is said to be more advanced with Tsikirai simply pointing at selected women using a handkerchief.
Previously, he would shake hands with those he intended to victimise, throwing them into a trance which would make them follow him begging for sex.
The handkerchief method was once employed in one of the late Safirio ‘Mukadota’ Madzikatire’s comedies series but Tsikirai employed it in real life.
Last time, Tsikirai was brought to Chief Ndanga’s court and was ‘cleansed’ by a team of traditional healers from Zinatha after several women came forward claiming to have been enticed by him.
Sources, however, say the ruffian has devised new methods of luring his victims after noticing that women were no longer eager to shake hands with him.
The new technique involves simply wiping his face with a muti handkerchief and pointing it at any female person he wants to sleep with.
This would almost immediately make the victims follow him and beg for sex.
Chief Ndanga, Reuben Chimedza, said he was aware of the latest acts of mischief by Tsikirai and had since summoned him to his court for a hearing.
“I have received those reports and have since called him to court. He once appeared before my court but the issue was presided over by my elders,” said Chief Ndanga.
In the previous cases, Tsikirai is said to have admitted to using juju to sleep with the numerous women and girls who came forward to report.
TellZim News has also been informed that other women did not bother to report him but are said to have confirmed that they had been abused by him.news

Chiredzi man sells dog meat, gets away with it

Chiredzi man sells dog meat, gets away with it
Moses Ziyambi
In a life-stranger-than-fiction incident, a crass Chiredzi man recently killed his father’s dog and sold its flesh to unsuspecting customers after deceptively convincing them it was game meat, TellZim News can reveal.
Noel Kujongonya, of Scot Block B in Mkwasine, is said to have approached revellers who were sitting over a braai at a popular joint with a load of the canine flesh.
“He lied to everybody that he had gone on a hunt and killed game.  He sounded so convincing that we stampeded to buy the meat and went on to ‘braai’ it. It was very tasty but I am now disgusted knowing I ate dog meat.
“Noel leads a reckless life and many people know him for being an irresponsible man but we all fell for his insensitive tricks that day. We thought he was genuine,” said a man who is related to Kujongonya.
Other people who spoke to this publication said Kujongonya’s father woke up one day to realise his dog was nowhere to be found.
After a few days he found the missing dog’s head and a bloodied knife in the garden and when he went out investigating, was told that his son had been seen at the shops selling what he said was game meat.
“When we confronted him, he didn’t even deny that he had duped people into buying dog meat. He said he had to do it because he was broke and needed some money.
“We took him to the police but he was released after they could not find an appropriate charge to lay against him. They said he had not broken any law,” said the relative.
In 2009, a man allegedly sold donkey meat to unsuspecting customers in Gweru while in 2013, villagers in Tsholotsho and Plumtree accused Chinese nationals of stealing village dogs for meat.news

Bikita declares war on Mnangagwa
Upenyu Chaota
In a move which could seal the fate of Team Lacoste, the Zanu-PF Bikita district has resolved to rally behind the First Family and threatened to fire and bar anyone linked to the embattled Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa from participating in party activities.
Addressing party supporters at an inter-district meeting in Bikita last Saturday, Zanu-PF chairmen in Bikita district unanimously agreed that they will rally behind President Mugabe and his wife Grace and insisted that anyone who wants to usurp powers from the First Family was going to face a mammoth task especially in Bikita.
Zanu-PF Masvingo provincial Political Commissar, Jeppy Jaboon also added his voice and emphasised that people of Bikita have made their position clear that they are for President Mugabe and his wife, and no one else.
“We are tired of this Team Lacoste talk. In Zanu-PF we all rally behind the President and his wife. We do not tolerate anyone who comes and say otherwise. If you know you are linked to Team Lacoste, be warned because here in Bikita we will deal with you. We will fire you without hesitation because you would have proven to be a sell-out.
“There are those who say we like the President and not his wife. That must come to a stop because you cannot like President Mugabe and dislike Dr Grace. If you like the President, then you have to like his wife too or you have to ship out,” said Jaboon.
Jaboon warned even politburo members who are aligned to Mnangagwa that they would be barred from Bikita.
“I do not care how much power a person wields, even politburo members have to shape up because they would not be welcome here in Bikita if they are linked to Team Lacoste. We agreed that we would support the President and his wife to death. Even our chairmen in Bikita they have all sided with President Mugabe and Dr Grace. We will never be loyal to anyone besides our dear leader,” said Jaboon.
Jaboon’s statements are likely to give more ground to Generation 40 (G40), another faction within the ruling party, which is said to be aligned to the First Lady Grace Mugabe.
On Friday last week in Gutu, while paying condolence to the late Chief Gutu who passed on in 2013, President Mugabe literally drove the last nail on the Team Lacoste coffin when he told war veterans that the youths will take over after they are gone.politics

Harvest House International Church holds conference
Tanyaradzwa Tizora
Harvest House International Church held a successful conference at Mucheke Stadium from May, 6 to 8 2016 under the theme ‘Manifesting the Glory’.
The conference attracted multitudes of people who flocked to the stadium to hear the word of God. 
Bishop Colin Nyathi, who is the founder of Harvest House churches, his wife Senior Reverend Dr Sarah Nyathi and Reverend Elias Ndeda from Eagles Church in South Africa graced the occasion.  
A graduation for those who had completed their Biblical and pastoral studies was also held during the conference with new pastors, elders and ministers being ordained.
The conference was also graced by one of Zimbabwe’s finest gospel artists, Takesure Zamar Ncube who staged an electrifying concert at the Harvest House International church site in the industrial area.
Upon his performance Takesure said that he was happy to experience the Holy Spirit with his fans in Masvingo.
“I always pray to God that where the Holy Spirit is absent, I don’t perform. I would rather have no concert than perform where I feel there is no Holy Spirit so I am glad God has allowed me to be here,” said Zamar.
Speaking to TellZim News Takesure said he appreciated the love which he was shown by his Masvingo fans.
“The Masvingo concert was great. The people showed love and were very supportive. I enjoyed the experience to the fullest,” added Takesure.news

Zimbabwe Burial Society buries with passion, not with money

Zimbabwe Burial Society buries with passion, not with money
Kudzai Matava
The Zimbabwe Burial Society (ZBS), a non-profit organisation which supports bereaved families across the country, is making strides as an all-weather friend that has for a long time stood with low income people who cannot afford to finance funerals of their loved ones on their own.
The society was founded by Matthew Dzvimbu in 1962 to help Harare-based Gutu people with logistical arrangements for decent burials in the event that a member died or lost a close relative.
The burial society managed to sustain itself during the white settler government until Zimbabwe gained its Independence in 1980.
The attainment of independence was a boon for ZBS as former freedom fighters coming from the war joined, though membership was still restricted to people from Gutu only.
The society became even more popular after the late Vice-President Dr Vengesai Muzenda joined on behalf of his mother.
Other prominent people like Shuvai. Mahofa and Tafara Madondo later joined the society and helped to grow its stature in the eyes of the public.
It is against this background that ZBS began to spread its wings to other places outside of Masvingo province, with branches being opened in different areas like Gweru, Gokwe, Muzarabani, Shamva Murehwa and Mutoko.
The organisation has so far managed to broaden its objectives, venturing into other relevant areas including coffin making, purchasing burial land in their main branches and purchasing lowering machines.
With a relatively low joining fee of US$10 , people who earn little have a reliable form of life insurance at a time when burial costs have become a headache for many.
Upon joining, a new member also pays US$17 transport fee and is then required to pay monthly subscription fees of US$3.
The funeral plan provides cover for a member, his/her spouse, children below the age of 21, parents of the member, in-laws and the disabled who are in the care of the member.
Meanwhile, the society has also embarked various charity projects targeting less privileged children whose parents cannot afford to send them to school.
Such children are sent to school with all the fees and other costs of going to school being met by the organisation’s social welfare fund.
With other profit-driven funeral companies dominating the industry, ZBS has managed to improve its services in order to attract members.
“We have managed to improve our facilities and services to stay ahead of funeral companies that are there to make profit out of bereaved people. We are glad that many people are still coming to us,” said Dzvimbu.news

ZAOGA turns 56

ZAOGA turns 56

Patricia Makubaro
The Zimbabwe Assemblies of God Africa Forward in Faith Ministries (ZAOGA) will be celebrating its 56th Anniversary on the May 13 2016.
The church was founded on May 13 1960 under a gum tree in Bindura by Apostle Ezekiel Handinawangu Guti.
Beginning under those very humble circumstances, the church has grown into perhaps the only local church with a sizeable international reach. 
The church has grown an impressive footprint in over 100 countries of the world through its Forward in Faith (FIF) arm. 
Apostle Guti, now at the prime age of 93, came to know about God through a testimony by his mother Dorcas.
The testimony concerned the judgment to come, forcing the young apostle to go into the bush to seek the presence of God.
ZAOGA Masvingo city District Pastor, Wilson Fani said while in the bush fasting and praying, God revealed himself, telling Apostle Guti four simple words: fear not, sin not. 
“The four words have hugely informed the church’s doctrine, acting as a guide to call upon believers to have faith in God while aiming to please him.
“ZAOGA is the first indigenous church to have a broadcasting channel, a hospital and a university without the help of foreign donors but fully supporting its projects through the efforts of its members.
“Apostle Guti’s wife, Eunor Guti – an accomplished apostle in her own right – is the brains behind ‘Today’s Woman’, an interdenominational gathering of women where lessons on marriage, health and education are taught.
“This year’s celebrations have been decentralised with every district carrying out its own celebrations. The celebrations will stretch from 12-15 May 2016 and we will also be belatedly celebrating Apostle Guti’s birthday’s 93rd birthday which was on 5 May 2016,” said Fani.
Pastor Fani added that they will be celebrating the journey travelled by the apostle over the years preaching the true gospel of deliverance.
“As we celebrate these 56 years and the birthday of our founder, we would like to ask God to keep blessing the Apostle and give him a longer life and strength to lead the church. We as the ZAOGA family, we are like a home to everyone.
“We will be praying for peace in the country and for everyone to keep worshipping the Lord. We are lifting up the standards.
“All Masvingo city district pastors, elders and deacons wish ZAOGA and the Servant and Apostle Guti a happy birthday and a happy anniversary,” said Fani. 
Meanwhile, Overseer Andrew Masocha of the church’s Zvishavane province said he felt many souls are going to be saved in the world through the evangelical work of FIF ministries.
“We feel no man can do this without God’s hand. Happy Anniversary to us as we continue to see God revealing himself through the Servant and the Apostle Ezekiel Handinawangu Guti,” said Masocha. news

Hungwe in hot soup Cdes!
Kkkkk this is the same man who once described President Robert Mugabe as God. He is the same bootlicker who praised Vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa as Son of God. Kkkkkk poor Hungwe – he is now in hot soup. Kkkk zvimwe munozvinyanya shuwa kutowana munhu akafanana naJesu – muZanu-PF?
Kkkk do you know this song by Justin Timberlake – what comes around goes around? Don’t cry foul Hungwe because Mapombi heard you used to backbite others so it’s now your turn to face the music.
 Mapombi is enjoying old school music these days – of course kutongoinzwawo pamaradio anenge achitengeswa kwedu kwaDr Grace Trading Centre uko. Hanzi naThomas Mukanya Mapfumo ‘Nyika ino yava mamvemve’.  Aaah Mukanya vakaonera madhiri acho kare kare chaiko isu vana Mapombi takangoti vavava kwaChirimudombo.
But we should let them rule forever these Cdes! Let them rule kana vakundikana ngavape vana vavo vatonge kana zvaramba vazukuru ndivo vari kuzvarwa kudai ngavapiwewo vatonge. Aaah by the way Mapombi was wondering how he can pass on his gift to the First Family – ndine zvihuta zvangu zvandodawo kukorokotedza mwana waBona! You never know, bootlicking and backbiting seem to be the only remaining tactics for survival in Zanu-PF. Kkkkkk asi pamwe pacho tinozozvinyanya kubva tasvika pakuti vaMugabe iCremora kkkkk ko ivo vari seiko vaWebster Shamu kuChegutu uko? Kkkkk Zanu-PF chiororo.
And I heard this time our godfather Hungwe who often likens Mnangagwa to Son of God and Mugabe to God, kkkkk zvaiwana ngwarati! The Zanu-PF Masvingo godfather is in hot soup – Mapombi is a gentleman munongozviziva handivanzi. We need to pray for our dear Cde for surely he is in hot soup.  At least we once warned these Cdes kuti dzimwe bootlicking dzomoita idzi hadziite Mwari havafare nadzo zvino chionai manje. Look now you are being roasted like zvihuta. Musatamba naBobo vakomana!
But if there is one person who really understands Bob, Mapombi is very sure that person is God only. It’s amazing how he dumped other guys he fought with in the liberation war and how he started to reward sellouts soon after independence neglecting well-deserving Cdes like ana Black Jesus ava. Mapombi heard vanaHungwe, ana Shamu and even gogo Mahofa were all sellouts during the liberation war but eish, look the luxurious vehicles they are driving and compare with other Cdes who were with Mugabe at Gonakudzingwa and Chimoio – it’s pathetic! That’s Bob for you!
Mapombi heard Hungwe is being summoned to the State House weekly after it leaked that Masvingo province was planning to kick out Mugabe and replace him with the Crocodile in the event that they successfully push for an Extra Ordinary Congress next year. You all know kuti garwe haridye chebamba ka?
The information reached Bob and Hungwe was immediately summoned to explain. Of course Hungwe being a sellout during the war Mugabe knew he is the weakest point to attack! 
Mapombi can imagine Bob achiti; ‘Ichokwadi here ichi chandiri kunzwa vaHungwe kuti kuMasvingo mati hamuchandida? Mava kuda Ngwena? Hanzi ndauraya nyika…ini ndoga? Ndakanga ndisina imi? Zvino tingashanda sei nenyanya dzakadai…taifunga kuti zvehutengesi makaregera zvino aaah…’ Kkkkkk gore rino hameno. VaMangundya wanzai maBond Notes tigowanawo yekutengesa maputi zvedu isu vana Mapombi whilst we watch the drama unfolding.
Hatina kana vhundu all I need is chibage chekukanga maputi and some rotten bananas and I’m done.
Mapombi heard Hungwe ava kuita kunge ava kutoshandira paState House these days..  At least twice a week – chamakadya chopfuka Cde! Bob needs clarity kuti mukuda kuti aende kupi? Handiendeee…handiendeee. Sando kuna Tuku haana kungoimba but ange atoonera kare. Mozotiwo zvenyu imi vana Hungwe netwuvanhu twemMasvingo moti mudhara ngaarove pasi. Zvimwe muchiti munotamba.
Mapombi heard Hungwe was a bit relieved following the death of his brother Silas Hugwe as he was given a break. But Mapombi heard soon after burial Hungwe was again summoned to the State House and just last week he went there ka2. This week pamwe achaenda ka3 kkkkk munoda kubvisa ani pachigaro… muchiisa Mukaranga? Kkkkk Zvakataurwa naMphoko kuChiweshe asi hamuna kuzvinzwa? Kkkkk munofira mahara vana Hungwe idyai makanyarara zvehutengesi imbomirai or else tinofanana manje manje. Musazoti Mapombi haana kureva.
But Mapombi like our musicians so. Hanzi naZhakata dai ndirini ndigere paye ndairidza huwi ndodaidzira vamwe vangu kuti kuno kwaita dovi vakomana huyai munombore . Ungavadii? Hapana kana zvaungavaita especially with an experienced CEO like Bob.
Now we have literally gone back to 2008 thanks to our Cdes in government. Instead of fast forwarding they are busy reversing everything. Do you still remember those days when Gideon Gono was like the Prime Minister of this country supervising all the ministries? And his infamous statement; ‘…we have moved from zero to hero… we have decided to cut six zeros…’ Kkkkk kuseka nhamo serugare! Asi munombotionesa ndondo vakomana. 
And mapombi heard Mangundya auyawo nemaBond Notes. Kkkkkk varume nyika maikonewa iyi – ko kumbopawo Ngwena akazama zvodiiko?

Social media catapults Masvingo author
Itai Muzondo
A Masvingo-based author, Ngoni Shuro has attributed his success partly to social media, praising the new technology for making him realise his dream and talent.
The author cites WhatsApp which he says has helped him popularise his literature.
Shoko told TellZim News that he has made inroads into the local audience market through his WhatsApp group ‘Ndozviudza Ani’, which is named after his yet to be published book.
“I have always had a dream of publishing and have my work read so as to make a positive impact in society. Currently, I have managed to gain some attention among local prose lovers by sharing snippets of my book on my WhatsApp group.
“I haven’t yet exploited the full potential of social media but it has gotten me far. A lot of people reach out to me at personal level asking when I am publishing. This shows that my work is already being recognised before it is even formally published,” Shuro said.
“As an unemployed youth, one major challenge I am facing is lack of money to have my work published but I believe I am about to unlock my fullest potential. As an artist, I also plead with the public to reject pirated work from the streets since it does not benefit the person who produces the original work.
“Society should just put themselves in the shoes of publishers and imagine how they would feel if their hard work was being stolen for somebody else’s benefit,” Shuro said.
Ndozviudza ani is the budding artist’s first piece of art and it dwells on challenges faced by womenfolk in their lives and it explores their daily struggles in the face of African taboos and patriarchal hegemony.news

Masvingo keeps me on my toes: Macheso
Tafadzwa Nyikadzino
Zimbabwe’s Sungura king and man of the moment Alick Macheso expressed gratitude to his music fans in Masvingo and said their unwavering support to him is the reason why he keeps working very hard to impress.
Macheso said this at his music show which was held on Friday at Ritz Gardens.
Speaking to TellZim News, the king of Sungura said Masvingo strongly stood by him during the time he was getting negative publicity for the late release of his brand new album titled Tsoka Dzerwendo.
“Everytime I came for a show the people here supported me by attending en masse. When I released this album, I made it a must that I must come to share it with my fans in Masvingo,” he said.
Macheso promised to drop brand new albums consecutively in the next coming three years and the albums will comprise songs that touch on issues affecting the daily lives of people.
The Sungura king staged a world class performance where he played hit songs on his brand new album among them Gungwa, Mude mude, Kurarama inyasha, Wandirangaridza as well as his classic hit songs like Shedia, and Sarah driving the fans into frenzy.
He also captured the emotions of the people as some could be seen wearing sad faces when he belted the track titled Baba.
“I wrote that song with my heart and emotions, that is the reason why people always catch on the emotions when I sing it” said Macheso.entertainment
