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


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.

Pamushana High School re-brands

Pamushana High School re-brands
. Produces best A’ and O’ Level results


Passmore Kuzipa

It is a good thing to dream and live in the beauty of our dreams.  Many a time we all go through times in our lives when we come up with ideas of things that we would like to accomplish in life; the schools and universities we want to go to, and places we cherish to be in the years ahead. It is a natural human tendency, it seems, to come up with an ideal which should be fulfilled in future and we feel bad when those dreams do not come true.

Located 75km from Masvingo town along the Masvingo-Mutare highway, Pamushana High School is one school which is living in the beauty of its dreams and, it seems, the head Johnson Madhuku still dreams big.
Madhuku has so far propelled Pamushana to greater heights with the most notable achievement being the transformation of Pamushana into the best school not only in Masvingo province but in the country at large. The ‘A’ and ‘O’ Level Zimbabwe Schools Examination Council (ZIMSEC) results released recently bear testimony to the school’s massive stature and repute in the realm of education.
Pamushana scored a whopping 100 percent and 94.74 percent pass rate for ‘A’ and ‘O’ Level respectively in the 2015 examinations, with 36 pupils recording 15 points and above, while 98 candidates scored 5As and above.

As if to match the leaps and bounds made in academic performance, Pamushana is also rebranding uniforms and has come up with new school colours. The school is moving away from the traditional blue uniforms to a new one, one of a kind – scorched purple and charcoal grey skirts, charcoal grey trousers, white shirts, red blazers, red jerseys and ties. The uniform indeed gives Pamushana a world class image befitting a school of its calibre.
“We are rebranding; we are synonymous with quality and we always want other schools to have something to learn from us. We are gradually changing our uniform – I brought the samples of the new uniform from Australia last year though we modified them a bit,” said Madhuku.

“We are known for producing good quality results – our O’ Level results were very good and there is no known record of  a school which ever obtained 200 As. We have 201 As in Integrated Science out of 209 candidates, 181 As in Geography out of 209 and 109 As in Shona out of 193 candidates. We are happy with the quality of results because we do not recruit brilliant pupils only as many people think but we boast of highly qualified and experienced teachers who can mould even worst performers into brilliant stars.
“I want to thank the parents, Minister Dr (Lazarus) Dokora, Permanent Secretary Dr Slyvia Utete-Masango for their overwhelming support,” Madhuku added.
At ‘A’ Level, the school had 36 pupils with 15 points and above, with each of the two best candidates scoring 20 points.  Over 30 pupils also passed with 14 points while 120 got 10 points and better. Pamushana also has an impressive record in sports, arts and culture and it broke the schools record in the country when it got three nominees at the National Arts Merit Awards (NAMA) last year.
Pamushana has been dominating schools sports in the country, particularly in netball where they won the Tanganda Tea trophy for four consecutive years. The school constructed a state of the art library last year, which was described by the Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Dr Lazarus Dokora as world class, and acquired a latest Scania model bus among many other projects.

Madhuku said the main idea is to educate the whole person and, surely, any parent who dreams of providing his or her child with best education, would recommend Pamushana High.
“Our graph keeps rising; I remember once telling my staff that before I leave this school, I wanted to have at least 30 pupils with 15 points and above, but now with 36 pupils having achieved that mark, we have far exceeded our own targets. Our target now is 40 with 15 points and above this year. I think the results we are producing are out of this world and we are almost at our zenith. We can actually produce a whole class of law or medicine students for the University of Zimbabwe (UZ). Our enrolment is around 1 200 with a staff complement of 38 qualified teachers and 6 student-teachers. We are short of 10 teachers but still our results are still extremely good. We boast of highly qualified and experienced teachers. Pamushana however, has become a hunting ground for many schools especially private schools who lure our teachers with lucrative allowances to join their schools,” said Madhuku.
“We are however, not deterred; our aim is to educate the whole person – complete person with academic, arts, sports and culture (ubuntu), discipline as well as upholding Christian values,  and we don’t believe in things that are sub-standard. We go for quality and we are not extravagant. Thus we bought a state-of-the-art bus because we want pupils to enjoy the luxury because that is what their parents want,” he added.

Madhuku also plans to build a security wall at the boys’ and girls’ hostels this year to improve security and privacy since they are too close to the administration block. They also want to build an administration block and a state-of-the-art hall. The hall will accommodate music, arts and culture pupils as well as other school functions. Madhuku added that they have plans to build more teachers’ quarters so that they can accommodate more teachers at the school.
“This has become a fishing pool for many schools and I’m losing a lot of teachers to other schools, mainly private schools. My teachers are very hard working and we also want to provide the best possible accommodation for them.  We have drilled six boreholes to solve water problems and we have resuscitated our agriculture projects,” he said.
Pamushana also boasts a state-of-the-art E-Learning centre which is being equipped with computers and internet connectivity. They also have an E-learning centre for junior classes equipped with 60 computers.
Pamushana also has more than 15 athletes who will represent the province at the national finals later this month. The school scooped 17 gold medals at the just ended provincial athletics finals held in Bikita.
Madhuku has not led only Pamushana to glory but has been elected to lead other organisations such as the National Association for Secondary School Heads (NASH) and the Confederation of School Sports Associations of Southern Africa (COSSASA) over the years.

Zanu-PF rigged elections since 2000: War vets

TellZimNews

TellZim Reporter

A group of war veterans who have joined the Zimbabwe People First (ZPF) apologised to the nation last Saturday for helping their former party, Zanu-PF to rig general elections since year 2000.
Speaking during a ZPF meeting at Mucheke hall, the Masvingo chairperson of Freedom Fighters, Frank Badza told hundreds of party supporters that Zanu-PF used war veterans to beat people in order to win elections.
Badza said war veterans were the most abused by Zanu-PF as they were usually enticed into harassing, maiming and even killing opposition supporters during election time. He however, regretted that he was once part of a system which denied people a chance to choose their own leaders in a democratic way.
“I did not kill anyone but I am sure some of our comrades were involved in killing opposition supporters. Let me tell you the truth, war veterans were at the heart of Zanu-PF election rigging over the past sixteen years – it’s not a secret that Zanu-PF never won an election since 2000.
“On behalf of all war veterans who have seen the light, I want to appeal to Zimbabweans to forgive us,” Badza told hundreds of supporters who listened in disbelief.
Badza was infamous for actively participating in Zanu-PF activities before his Damascan moment which saw him following Joice Mujuru whom he described as a peace lover.
Some war veterans who spoke to TellZim News on the side-lines of the same meeting echoed Badza’s sentiments.    
All the speakers who had a chance to address the gathering confessed that Zanu-PF used them to rig elections.
Former Zanu-PF politburo member and firebrand politician of the Mugabe-must-go fame told people that the farms which they got during the land reform programme were not going to be taken from them.
“No one will take  farms from you; that will not happen. Land belongs to the nation not to Zanu-PF,” said Mavhaire.
Mavhaire added that army generals and top security officers were supporting ZPF party.
“We have the support of army generals and other senior officers in the security sector. Our meetings are cleared by the police and we are inviting any peace lover to join our party as we continue to build our structures,” said Mavhaire.
The meeting was also attended by former Minister of State for Masvingo Province Kudakwashe Bhasikiti, Retired Colonel Kudzai Mbudzi, former MDC-T legislators and academics among others.

Local governance and women exclusion, Masvingo’s experience

TellZimNews
-

Moses Ziyambi

The composition of urban and rural district councils in Masvingo province, and indeed in the rest of the country, represent the long journey that lies ahead towards the attainment of equal representation of men and women in local governance.
Local governance is regarded by many as the most important area of governance owing to its almost unequalled proximity to the people.
As the cornerstone of service delivery to the public, matters of local governance are reasonably expected to reflect inclusivity and are also expected to show some inclination to the gender cause that the country seems to be cozying up to.
It is unfortunate however to note that the case in the councils that were elected in 2013 stands in stark contrast, with entry into council largely having been determined by political affiliations and the level of influence that each candidate could assert.
At municipal level, the two main parties that contested the elections and that currently share the spoils of their political exploits, ZANU PF and MDC, did not have a gender programme when they fielded their candidates.
Unlike at legislative level where proportional representation is legally in place, there are no related policies at local government level although technically, this area carries more weight in addressing women’s practical gender needs, their immediate welfare.
There were no female quotas and neither was there any attempt to strengthen the hand of female contenders during their primaries. It was a matter of on your marks, get ready and go, even though that straightjacket approach has continuously proved to be unhelpful in efforts to attain gender balance.
In particular, Masvingo urban elected an all-male council, with the only female councilor in the previous council, Grace Josia of ward 10 falling at the ZANU PF primaries to Lovemore Mufamba, putting paid hopes for any female representation  in the council.
In Masvingo rural, the situation is no less gloom, with female councilors numbering only four out of a total of 35. Ironically, it is Virginia Hwena of ward 19 and Sungano Machakanure of ward 30 who are said to be the best performing council employees. This is so despite that the position of Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer, perhaps the most influential roles in a council set-up, are occupied by males.
Maina Mandava, a distinguished former parliamentarian who served in Zimbabwe’s successive male-dominated legislature for years, said it requires a drastic ideological shift among women themselves if meaningful change is to be realised.
“The problem is never about women’s competencies or lack thereof. Rather, the problem lies in the engrained mistrust among women themselves. Women seem not to have as much confidence in other women as they do in men. We constitute the biggest voting bloc yet we keep on voting men into office. Why?” said Mandava
Gutu, a vast district with 41 wards, has also lagged behind in with regards to equal representation within its council. In the 2013 elections, 38 wards were snatched by men, with a paltry 3 going to women, a development that further solidified the gender imbalance.
Mpandawana, the seat of council, recently gained town status but gender activists will be outraged to know that the first six members of the town board, which came into existence in January 2016, only has one woman – Susan Samatenga – whose duty on the board is to represent the interests of residents.
She will be expected to strike a fine balance between articulating and pushing the overall cause of her mandate without ignoring the women’s agenda within the male-dominated board of a town marred by unemployment, gender-based violence and child prostitution.
Similarly, of Chiredzi Town Council’s eight councilors, only one, Jessica Mutiyaunga is female. She is the chairperson of the Environment Committee with the rest of other committees and other crucial posts in the town council led by men.
“The program is aimed at institutionalizing gender mainstreaming in all policies, programmes and budgets of government and selected private sector organization.”
This is what the Ministry of Women Affairs, Gender and Community Development says of its gender mainstreaming programme. Difficult though to see how policies crafted in the name of development can omit mainstreaming in local governance, when it is the most relevant to the most immediate development goals of society.
A superficial glance at Bikita reveals more or less the same disturbing pattern of wide discrepancies in the distribution of power between men and women. Although Councillor Clara Makura of ward 29 is the current council chairperson, it is no doubt that real power lies with men who dominate the council.
With only three female councillors out of 32, the rural council is yet another microcosm of that which is wrong with the organisation of our socio-political system, a system that needs to be urgently overhauled to promote the full participation of women lest the country’s development potential becomes a nullity.
Engineer Cecilia Nyamande, a civil engineering technician with Bikita Rural District Council said society cannot expect any miracles in its quest to achieve gender equity.
“It should start in the families; we should be educating the girl child and helping her to realise that there are no limits to what she can achieve in life. That can be instrumental in developing her confidence and self-esteem, with the ultimate result being more women bidding for better posts in councils and elsewhere.
“There is a growing consensus that societies that give women prominence in leadership roles enjoy higher chances of being more peaceful and more prosperous than those on the contrary,” said Engineer Nyamande.
That view can probably be buttressed by even a superficial glance at Rwanda, a country ravaged by a horrendous, male-instigated genocide just over two decades ago. How the country has risen from the ashes to be the most promising economy on the African mainland remains an enigma to many.
This is partly attributed to the country’s robust women empowerment drive which has seen it being the only country with more women than men in its parliament.
The capital city, Kigali, which has a female mayor and vice-mayor, Monique Mukaruliza and Judith Kazayire respectively, is ranked one of the cleanest and most investor-friendly cities in Africa.

Knives out for Bishop Mutendi

Knives out for Bishop Mutendi
TellZim Reporter

‘Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided. So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left’ (Exodus 14: 21-22)

Bishop Nehemiah Mutendi

Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day (Exodus 16:4)
In fact, those who did not go to Sunday school might not know that the biblical Moses is the only man who saw God – he was God’s friend for they could have conversations at any given time.
Many Christians believe that no man born of a woman has managed to outdo Moses but the Zion Christian Church leader Bishop Nehemiah Mutendi has a different view.
Speaking at President Robert Mugabe’s birthday bash at Great Zimbabwe monuments recently, Bishop Mutendi said the Zimbabwean veteran leader has done far more than the biblical Moses.
In his own words, the Bishop said Mugabe did what biblical Moses could not do. Thus a man of God who commands a huge following throughout Zimbabwe believes that Mugabe is even closer to God as compared to Moses.
Since Mutendi himself is a prophet, thousands of people who gathered for the 21st February Movement celebrations were left wondering if the bishop was in a trance when he uttered the words during the devotion.
Although it is common knowledge that politicians bootlick their leaders as they try to curry favour with them, sometimes going to an extent of stooping as low as announcing how they wish to be Mugabe’s children, such a practice is unacceptable from a man of cloth.
Webster Shamu of the ‘Mugabe is Cremora’ fame once shocked people when he narrated how he wished to be Mugabe’s biological son. However, Shamu could be understood as a politician because he was ‘singing for lunch and it was again not surprising to see him dancing for his supper – that’s how politicians survive anyway.
Historians, philosophers and pastors attacked Mutendi saying he took people for granted and chose to insult them through bringing unnecessary comparisons.
Dr Takavafira Zhou had no kind words for Bishop Mutendi.
“Mugabe was not the chief architect of the liberation war but you can not dispute the fact that he played a critical role especially in the late 1970s. Even after independence, Mugabe was good but not from the 1990s when he lost his visionary leadership and started to drive people back to ‘Egypt’.
“There is nothing good about Mugabe to talk of today… He (Mugabe) has successfully turned this country to an extension of his kitchen. He literally took us back to captivity. Mutendi is guilty of selective forgetfulness … to some all of what Mutendi said was silly and nonsensical,” said Dr Zhou.
But Dr Robson Wuriga, a philosopher chose to be diplomatic saying people needed to understand Mutendi’s background before they criticised him. Dr Wuriga said Mutendi was coming from Zionism which believes in monarchy and chieftainship. He said it was obvious that a man who is treated like a chief in his own church would see Mugabe as a king.
“For Mutendi, Mugabe is not a President, he is a king and in Zionism, you don’t say anything bad about the King. The king is praised, he should live longer and there is no one born before and now who can be better than a reigning king. Even in his church, Mutendi is called Vashe rather than pastor or Bishop hence he chose all superlatives that would please a greater king – Mugabe,” said Dr Wuriga.
However, pastors who spoke to this publication said they were pained by Mutendi’s comments.
According to Reverend Prosper Muzambi, the Bishop went offside and what he did was next to blasphemy.
“Those who studied prophecy would tell you that no one can be equated to Moses. I have no problem with comparing Mugabe to any other prophet in the Bible but not Moses. Yes President Mugabe has done great things as a visionary who inspired a lot of people but it’s mischievous to say he is greater than Moses,” said Rev Muzambi.
Herbert Chikosi a social commentator said Bishop Mutendi showed a lack of bible knowledge.
“One thing was clear… the Bishop displayed his shallow Bible knowledge. We urge him (Mutendi) to keep away from politics since he is not a politician,” said Chikosi.
Christian Voice International Zimbabwe president Prophet Clement Zenda said  Mutendi’s whole statement was in bad taste.
“The President has played his role as the leader of Zimbabwe and this far he has taken us but the exegesis to idolise him is totally unacceptable,” said Zenda.
But Great Zimbabwe University (GZU) chairperson of the Department of Religious Studies and Philosophy Jowere Mukusha defended Mutendi saying Mugabe outperformed Moses.
“I think Mutendi was right because we saw what Mugabe did… I am sure in our context, Mugabe did miraculous things. Moses did miracles of his own time but Mugabe also did his fair share so don’t rule him out,” said Mukusha.
Efforts to get a comment from Mutendi were futile.

MDC-T, People First clash over fliers in Chiredzi
Upenyu Chaota
The Movement for Democratic Change (MDC-T) led by Morgan Tsvangirai has laughed off at attempts to detract them after streets in Chiredzi last week woke up with People First fliers prior to Tsvangirai’s rally.

Morgan Tsvangirai

The fliers portrayed Tsvangirai as a failure and that his followers should join the recently registered Zimbabwe People First party.
MDC-T national spokesperson Obert Gutu said such low moves are done by politically immature people.
He pinned the blame on ZANU PF and the Central Intelligence Operatives for being behind the throwing of People First fliers prior to Tsvangirai’s rally.
“It is clearly the work of ZANU PF and the CIO. They want to detract us from mobilising the people because they are afraid of Tsvangirai.
“That kind of a low blow will not make us lose sleep at all because our party is the one that is going to dislodge ZANU PF and deliver real change to the people of Zimbabwe,” said Gutu.
He said they have entered into a full swing mobilisation with Tsvangirai meeting the people in all provinces and all the structures.
“Any form of sabotage will not work because we are a determined party. To us it’s business as usual and the president is touring the provinces meeting the people. It is time to prepare for 2018,” Gutu added.
People First national spokesperson Rugare Gumbo could not be reached for a comment.

Gutu magistrate gets tough over violence

Memory Rasa

A  Bhasera man was last week sentenced to 30 days in prison for assaulting a bar tender at Takurambizi Bar at Bhasera Growth Point early this year.
Aaron Makuma (21),  assaulted the bar tender, only  identified as Action, around midnight leaving him with blood shot eyes and bleeding from the nose after  he ordered him to leave the bar since it was time to lock the bar.  Makuma refused saying that he was still enjoying his drink and was not ready to leave.
Makuma pleaded guilty to the charge when he appeared before Gutu Resident Magistrate Edwin Marecha. In mitigation Makuma, however, pleaded with the magistrate to pardon him saying he was drunk and he was the only one taking care of his siblings since all his parents were dead.
The magistrate said that Bhasera is now infamous for violence and something needed to be done sooner than later as the violence may result in murder hence the act did not deserve to be punished by community service or a fine but imprisonment. He said he would take into consideration what he had said in mitigation and slapped him with 30 days in prison.
Similar cases of violence have been recorded.  One such case involved a father and two sons, (the Potes) who are in custody for assaulting a woman at the growth point for allegedly dancing in the bar close to Pote. The other case involved Grace Gonye of Magara Village who assaulted her brother-in-law, Eria Makoni.
Cases of violence in Gutu have been on the rise with an incredible number being recorded since mid-January this year after Marecha announced that assault charges were breaking a new record.  He later said he would move from community service and the payment of fines to imprisonment.
Agatha Gabriel prosecuted.

Age saves Zaka drug dealer granny from jail
Brighton Chiseva
An ageing Zaka woman (67) was lucky to escape jail after resident magistrate Dorothy Mwanyisa passed a lenient sentence for her for dealing in drugs last week.
Marijuana

Evina Nyathi (67) together with Chipo Chekai (56) both from Gachiki Village, Chief Bota, in Zaka were sentenced to 10 months in prison for selling mbanje.
Magistrate Mwanyisa however, suspended four months on condition that the duo does not commit a similar offence for the next five years and the other six months on condition that Nyathi and Chekai performed 210hrs of community service at Dzoro School.
Nyathi and Chekai were arrested by Zaka police following a tip off from some villagers that the duo was in the habit of selling mbanje.
The police raided them and retrieved 1.8kgs of mbanje leading to the duo’s arrest.
In passing judgement, magistrate Mwanyisa urged Nyathi to explore other acceptable means for survival and not selling drugs.
“Find other decent means of surviving. I have considered your age in passing the sentence because if I send you to jail today, you will not last long,” said Mwanyisa.
Innocent Mudzingwa prosecuted.
