Kasukuwere sets base in Masvingo
. As Mujuru pressure continues to mount

Passmore Kuzipa
MASVINGO – Zanu-PF national political commissar Saviour Kasukuwere will literally set base here in Masvingo soon after the Easter Holidays as he has vowed to preside over party inter-district meetings to be held across the province starting next week, with those fingered as rogue elements being kicked out of the party.

Saviour Kasukuwere

Addressing the Zanu-PF Masvingo Provincial Co-ordinating Committee (PCC) at Victoria Primary School over the weekend, Kasukuwere said he would camp in Masvingo to ensure that all concerns of party supporters at grassroots, which are often ignored, are being addressed and insisted that there would be no sacred cows in the party, emphasising on the need for unity in the party.
“I will be here to oversee the inter-district meetings soon after Easter; we want to deal with all rogue elements in the party,” said Kasukuwere.
He, however, seemed to be afraid of the newly-formed Zimbabwe People First (ZPF) party as he urged the provincial executive to be united and fight the Joice Mujuru-led party. Kasukuwere even denigrated the firebrand former Zanu-PF politburo members Dzikamai Mavhaire, Claudius Makova and Kudakwashe Bhasikiti, describing them as political novices.
Kasukuwere, who is believed to be one of the front-runners of the Generation 40 (G40) faction which allegedly supports First Lady Grace Mugabe, also attacked a faction perceived to be aligned to Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa for allegedly plotting to oust President Robert Mugabe from power.
 “The succession issue has brought instability in the party; there are people who are plotting to oust President Mugabe. To talk about who will replace President Mugabe is out of question because he is still there and there is no vacancy. Why then do we waste time fighting for a non-existent post? Let us decrease the volume of tearing each other apart and increase the volume of working together as a party,” said Kasukuwere.
Tyson, as Kasukuwere is popularly known in Zanu-PF, however, stunned many party members when he vehemently defended suspended Gutu South MP Dr Paul Chimedza, who was alleged to have been spotted at a People First meeting.
“I am happy my brother Chimedza you are here; there have been reports in the media that you were spotted at a People First meeting but I know those were lies.  He (Chimedza) is one of us, he belongs to the party but they want to tarnish his image,” said Kasukuwere, amid reports that G40 is courting all members in Zanu-PF that are linked to People First.
Meanwhile, Chief Fortune Charumbira also confirmed that there is a clique in Zanu-PF which is plotting to oust President Mugabe, urging party members to openly name and shame such people. Chief Charumbira also fumed about ministers who lie to the people that there is enough food aid when people are actually starving across the country.
“We are seeing ministers on television saying there is plenty of food coming yet people are starving – where is the food? Stop political statements when it comes to issues to do with food because people are starving,” said Charumbira.
“We want people who plot to oust President Mugabe to be exposed; let us name and shame them. At whatever level in the party let us expose those people. Chiefs and village heads support Zanu-PF and many a time we are being persecuted for that,” added Charumbira.

Mpandawana runs dry

The new town of Mpandawana has been running without water since last Thursday forcing its residents to look for alternative sources of water which may be hazardous to their health while the discontinuation of water supplies remain unexplained.
Water supplies were cut unexpectedly last Thursday evening with residents speculating that power outages were behind the problem. However power supplies were restored on Friday, the same day that residents started experiencing a lengthy period without water supplies. All the suburbs in the residential areas which include the Old Location, Hwiru, Gonville, Munhende and the Infill have been running without water since then.
The situation has forced residents to look for alternative water sources which include dug up wells which now sustain the majority of the households. In areas like the Old Location where there are no  wells, residents are forced to trek long distances into the surrounding residential areas in search of water. The recent rains left pools of stagnant water which some of the residents fetch water for their bathing and laundry from. These pools of water may be posing a health hazard to the residents as they are unprotected.
Residents in the new town complained and said the absence of safe water was forcing most of them to resort to the use of ‘bush toilet’ system which posed a serious health threat to the growing population.
“We can no longer use our indoor toilets because there is no water to flush the human excreta into the sewer system. The only alternative is to use the bush and this poses a serious health threat as our children use paths in the bush on their way to school, especially Gutu United School and may play with the exposed human excreta,” said a vegetable vendor at the market who declined to be named.
” This is not the first time that this has happened.  The market at Mpandawana Bus Terminus went for close to seven months without water leaving consumers who buy their green vegetables from the market exposed to disease. This also affected the toilets at the market which went for long periods without being attended to,” said the vendor who lives in Munhende suburb.
The sentiments were echoed by other residents who urged the council to attend to the water problem as a matter of urgency arguing that the present council may have been irked by the fact that the new Town Board is taking over the affairs of the town and were making the residents suffer intentionally.
Council officials were not immediately available for comment but have not yet offered any explanation to the residents regarding the causes behind the unexpected water cuts.

Mahofa featured at a Zanu-PF Masvingo Provincial Co-ordinating Committee (PCC) meeting on Sunday but failed to stand to address party members when she was given the chance to do so by the provincial secretary for administration Allies Baloyi.
She however, addressed while seated and immediately apologised saying she had not fully recovered.
“My apology for speaking while seated; I have not yet fully recovered but I am glad I’m now back at work. I want to thank President (Robert) Mugabe for the treatment I got in South Africa and also the First Lady Dr Grace for the food donations to Chivi. Masvingo is drought-prone and all the seven administrative districts are in dire need of food. People are starving and we appeal to government to expedite our February allocation of the food relief. We also need transport to ferry the maize from Tongaat Huletts to different parts of the province,” said Mahofa.

Quench systems, for all your IT solutions
 
    TellZim Reporter

Quench Systems, a Masvingo-based ICT corporate, has remained resolute in
providing Information Communication Technologies (ICT’s) in Masvingo after
adding to their stock the latest *Interactive Touch Panel* in their stock
of advanced technological products recently.


Edmore Mkwenje demonstrates how the interactive touch screen works

Showcasing a 55-inch interactive touch panel in his shop, Quench Systems
Chief Operations manager, Edmore Mkwenje said it has always his
organisation’s mission to supply the best to their clients and above all
being honest on their abilities to their customers.

“Much has been happening in the education sector ranging from primary to
secondary in terms of trying to engage the pupil and making the class more
participatory, relaxed and interesting. This has seen the advent of the
chalkless, interactive white boards and now this latest technology, the
interactive touch panel.

“By realising the importance of these developments in the ICT sector and
their benefits to quality education, we saw the need for us to sell this
latest technology to our clients here in Masvingo so that they do not
complain that quality advanced products are found only in Harare,” Mkwenje
said.

“Among the tasks one can do with the interactive touch panel is monitoring
your pupil’s participation while mobile, presenting slides from your phone,

Bishop Mutendi gives Mugabe lifespan limit


TellZim Reporter 

Zion Christian Church (ZCC) leader Bishop Nehemiah Mutendi stunned thousands of Zanu-PF supporters gathered at the Great Zimbabwe monuments to celebrate President Robert Mugabe’s 92nd birthday last Saturday when he prayed for the veteran leader not to live for more than 120 years. After going over-drive, praising Mugabe saying the Biblical Moses was far inferior to the Zimbabwean President, Bishop Mutendi made a sudden turn in his prayer, asking God to grant Mugabe 28 more years to live — and nothing more, nothing less.

ZCC Bishop Nehemiah Mutendi

“I pray that President Mugabe lives up to 120 years,” Mutendi said, much to the surprise of thousands of party supporters. However, people who spoke to this publication at the Great Zimbabwe monuments said it was not proper for a Bishop to give limits to someone’s lifespan. “What if God wanted Mugabe to live up to 130 years or more . . . we have a problem when Bishops start to make controversial prayers,” said a Zanu-PF supporter who refused to be named.
Mutendi said Moses only managed to free Israelites from the Egyptian bondage but failed to take them all the way to Canaan while on the contrary, President Mugabe freed Zimbabweans from their colonisers and managed to be with them for 35 years now after bondage. The Bishop said the fact that President Mugabe was still the leader years after independence was a clear sign that he has done greater works as compared to Biblical Moses, who could not be with the people in Canaan.
“You (Mugabe) did what Moses could not do . . . Moses did not go with the people to Canaan but you were with us even after independence . . . even this day, you are still leading us,” said Mutendi before he went into the shocking prayer. Some pastors reacted angrily to Mutendi’s prayer saying it was not good for Mutendi to be overzealous in praising Mugabe.
“The president has played his role as the leader of Zimbabwe and this far he has taken us but the exegesis to idolise him and equate him to biblical figures is totally out of context. The bible does not allow us to idolise people,” said Christian Voice International Zimbabwe president Prophet Clement Zenda.

Jilted Mukore High librarian commits suicide

Valentine died for love, Romeo also died for love, Jack in titanic died for love, Samson in the Bible died for love, Greek heroes Hercules and Archilles died for love, and so did the Mukore High School librarian Taurai Sibanda who took his life after wife filed divorce papers at the courts recently.
Sibanda drank pesticide chemical after realising that his wife had filed divorce papers at the courts, and more so, the wife who is a teacher at Chada Primary School, was already in a relationship with another man.
The late Sibanda’s close friend who spoke on conditions of anonymity said the deceased was having a lot of problems in his marriage but he never expected that he would go to the extent of committing suicide.
“Sibanda had a lot of social problems particularly the divorce case with his wife. Things got worse when he realized that his wife was already seeing someone else while they were still in the divorce process.
“I don’t know what led to the filing of the divorce case but all I know is that Sibanda was hoping that things would get better. He wanted to work things out with his wife but unfortunately he decided to take his own life after succumbing to immense stress,” he said.
The incident happened barely two weeks after two Mukore high school teachers perished in an accident which happened along Mutare –Masvingo Highway.

People First coordinator house torched

Bikita West coordinator for the recently launched Zimbabwe People First party (ZPF), Tsuru Gurwe’s five sons were lucky to escape alive after the hut they used as a bedroom was torched by unknown assailants who and disappeared in the midnight darkness last week.
Gurwe’s hut gutted by fire

Gurwe of Ward 10 under chief Mukanganwi told TellZim News that prior to the suspected arson attack, he was confronted by a Zanu-PF youth who told him that they wanted to fix him for taking ZPF to Bikita.
Gurwe who reported the matter to Bikita police station said his key suspects were Zanu- PF youths who were harassing him on a daily basis.
“My first suspects are those people who were threatening to fix me…they attacked me for bringing ZPF to Mukanganwi. When they started to threaten me, I thought they were joking but now look my house has been burnt,” said Gurwe.
 “It was a horrible experience for me and my family… it’s not easy to see your house on fire especially knowing that your children are asleep in that house. I thank God none of the children was injured. My Grade Zero child was rescued when the roof was about to collapse,” added Gurwe.
However, Gurwe said the incident will not stop him from campaigning for ZPF in Bikita.
“Zanu-PF is prepared to go to any lengths to squash the ever-increasing popularity of our party. They know we are the only meaningful opposition which is a threat to them. This incident will not deter me from campaigning for my party,” said Gurwe who was once Zanu-PF chairman for Ward 10.

Gutu Sex workers meeting to review prices flops

Kennedy Murwira
A sex workers meeting that was scheduled to be held at Mpandawana last week failed to take off after the organisers of the meeting failed to turn up.

The meeting, organised by the Sex Workers Action Group (SWAG) was due to be held at the J Dauramanzi Restaurant. A worker at the restaurant, Martha Mukaro, said restaurant staff had to remove the chairs, tables and other material which had been set up at the venue after a fruitless three-day wait for the oganisers to pitch up.
Sex workers who spoke to this publication said they were not happy with the way in which the organisers of the meeting had wasted most of their time over the three-day period while they waited in vain. They added that the time spent during the fruitless wait could have been put to better use if they had had the opportunity to seek for clients. Competition on the market has steadily gone up at Mpandawana with sex workers coming to throng the new town from as far afield as Checheche, Buhera, Harare, Chivi and some parts of the Midlands Province.
The meeting, the sex workers said, was supposed to discuss among other things issues like legalising their profession and setting  a standard rate for their client. The workers argued that the competitive rates at Mpandawana were bringing more and more members of their profession from other centres where the rates had gone down to as low as $1 for a short period and $3 to $4 for the night. They said the rates at mpandawana stood at $5 for a short period and $15 to $20 for the night. Their assertion was supported by one sex worker, who recently came to the town from Murambinda in Buhera who said rates at the growth point had become too low.
The organisers of the meeting could not be reached for comment whether the meeting will go ahead in the near future. However, the sex workers said they would boycott the meeting since they had already lost a lot of business during the fruitless three-day wait.

Mkwasine to have own sugar mill

Increase Gumbo

Following the increase in the number of sugarcane farmers in the Lowveld, Zimbabwe Sugarcane Development Association (ZSDA) has proposed to have their own sugarcane mill in Mkwasine.
Speaking to TellZim News recently, Edmore Veterai who is the chairman of the association said that there was need for a sugar mill in Mkwasine area to cater for 250 farmers in the area in order to reduce costs of transporting the sugarcane to Tongaat Hulett mills.
“There is need for a sugar mill in Mkwasine, we are pursuing the issue of acquiring our own mill  as an option for Mkwasine farmers  and this will significantly cut down on their costs,” said Veterai.
Veterai also said that they had proposed to acquire a portable sugar mill which does not require a lot of expertise but will only be operated by one electrical engineer and other staff would be trained on the ground in order to cut cost.
“We are not proposing to have a big mill like the ones we have at our Tongaat Hulett but we are proposing a portable one which requires less expertise – that will be cost effective as the machine would require one electrical engineer while the rest will be trained on the ground,” said Veterai.
According to Veterai, the mill is likely going to be bought from India.
Meanwhile Veterai said that the mill will benefit the local people with many things since the inception of the mill in the area will give birth to more than thirty by-products which comes from sugarcane such as molasses, ethanol, electricity and bio-gas among others.

Wonderlife Herb rises as a multi-purpose health solution

Wonderlife Herb rises as a multi-purpose health solution


Moses Ziyambi

Wonderlife Herb, a medicinal herb that contains multiple medicinal properties, is increasingly gaining credence as an all-encompassing solution against infectious ailments like HIV/AIDS and TB, and other nagging conditions like eczema and ulcers with many users of the herb testifying its strength.

Wonderlife Herb capsules

Discovered by Australia-based Bishop Israel Muzari of the Family of God Church, the herb has since helped boost the immune systems of many HIV/AIDS patients by significantly increasing their CD4 count.
Monica Thandiwe Mutyasira of Nyazura, who tested HIV positive in 2008 and had become weak with a very low CD4 count, found her CD4 count rising from 103 to 1057 and her viral load virtually undetectable after she started using the herb in 2014.
Representative of Wonderlife Herb in Masvingo, Du Toit Artwell Muzari, said they had spent three years doing research on the herb and were happy with the progress made to get conventional recognition of their discovery.
“We have since partnered the Harare Institute of Technology (HIT) for further scientific research and clinical trials of the herb. We are however pleased that we have documented cases of people who have experienced phenomenal improvement of their health within a short period of taking the Wonderlife Herb capsules,” said Muzari.
Muzari said some of the earliest cases of people who registered significant health improvement after taking the capsules were recorded in Zaka and Buhera.
“The capsules are ingested as a herbal supplement to boost the immune system. They don’t interfere with other medications like ARVs and are thus safe to take alongside prescribed conventional drugs. There are no side-effects that have been recorded yet,” Muzari said.
Developed from extracts of a naturally occurring herb, the Wonderlife Herb formula has already been patented in Australia and the Memorandum of Understanding signed with HIT is expected to boost confidence in the herb as well as its exposure.
The herb is also a proven relief for, among other things, stress, skin infections and septic wounds. It can also be used as a general pain relief and an effective anti-oxidant.
