School head appeals for financial assistance to undergo heart surgery

By Virginia Njovo

A school head at Chibaya Primary School in Masvingo District is appealing for US$14 500 to undergo a heart surgery in India at Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram City.
Misheck Chenjerai (52), told TellZim News that his heart had two blocked valves that were not functioning properly hence the need for heart surgery which is to be done in India.
“In August this year I was diagnosed with a heart problem when I was told that two valves on my heart are not functioning properly and there is need for an operation to be done urgently in India. I am appealing to well-wishers to assist me in raising the required amount so that I get treatment early,” said Chenjerai.
A father of three, Chenjerai said he is going through a difficult time as he can no longer perform heavy duties and that is affecting his family financially.
“I have three children and my wife is also a civil servant. We cannot raise the money needed for the surgery from both our salaries. The condition has made it difficult for me to carry out any side hustles to raise the money as I am no longer able to perform any heavy duties,” he said.
He further said the condition was already affecting his work as a school head as it demands him to do more on the ground which is difficult for someone in his condition.
“Some of the duties required to be performed by a school head need someone who is more active but it is now challenging for me to be more effective due to my health condition,” said Chenjerai.
His wife, Mercy Chenjerai who is also a teacher at the same school said they were going through a difficult time with doctors saying the surgery should be done urgently.
“We are going through a difficult time as a family as my husband’s condition keeps getting worse by the day and we are unable to raise the money. Our plea is for well-wishers to assist us in raising the required amount of money so that he can be able to undergo the required surgery on time,” said Mercy.
Well-wishers can help Misheck Chenjerai and his wife using the details below:

Spirit medium stops operations at Renco Mine

Brighton Chiseva

RENCO MINE – Mining operations had to be suspended for two days at Renco Mine amid fears of workers’ death as had been foretold by a local spirit medium whose demands had not been met.
Sources within the mine said the spirit medium told mine management that they had to clear all salary arrears to please the workers, after which they were to conduct an appeasement ceremony so that the mine becomes productive.
Though no comment could be obtained from mine authorities as the General Manager Taurayi Nyamukondiwa was not answering his cellphone, sources said the mine had since engaged local traditional leadership and had back to back meetings trying to map a way forward.
Contacted for comment headman Muchibwa real name Maduviko Manyise confirmed the development but could not shed more light as he referred his spokesperson Maseko Manyise.
Maseko said there were challenges at the mine, of which they were engaged by the authorities and had fruitful discussions which resulted in the workers going back to work.
“There were issues at the mine which I think mine authorities are better positioned to share with you. However, we had a fruitful meeting and we addressed the workers who later went back to work. So now we are working on mapping a way forward to avoid similar issues,” said Maseko.
He said the area, just like any other had some traditional rituals that used to be done but had been forgotten but now the ancestors had come through one of them to revive the practices.
“We know like any area, there used to be traditional rituals and ceremonies that were done but were now being forgotten. The mines used to carry out these with local traditional leaders and that is what we are reviving now. The ancestors are now speaking through the younger generation and some may not understand but that is what we are trying to address,” said Maseko.
Sources who spoke to TellZim News said the mine was failing to honour traditional rites and that was causing all the challenges they were facing and were ignoring what they were told by the spirit medium who allegedly emerged recently after years of silence.
“Three months ago, the medium told the mine to pay workers and make sure they were happy then after that they will appease the ancestors so that the mine becomes productive. He said if they failed to do that, there will be regrettable occurrences and coincidentally, one person died in the mine last week
“The medium warned that if workers go down the mine on September 9 it will be at their own risk. So the mining department refused to go down the mine saying the management should lead the way if they are to go down,” said the source.
Sources said last month the mine recorded one of the lowest productions to ever been recorded and many believed the mediums’ words are coming true.
“The medium said if his demands are not met, the mining machinery will stop working and it will be difficult to get gold. The bow mill in the plant area stopped working on September 3 and only resumed work on September 9 in the afternoon but it was hard operating it.
“As had been warned by the medium, the mine recorded its worst production and recorded less than two grams and that has never happened ever since,” said the source
Another source said the mine was clearing the arrears and had cleared up to June and was left with July and August salaries.

Masvingo Birthday Bonanza rolls on

Ladies and gentlemen, my sincere hope is that you are keeping hydrated in this hot weather, even with the erratic water supply you just drink yezvibhorani iyoyo. Again with Zesa doing what it is mandated to do, what it knows best—switching off electricity, even when it’s not at fault, council now has an excuse, and a good one at that, of not providing water to residents, but we keep the hope up. Ko handiti we were promised that very soon there will be solar power at Bushmead and water rationing will be a thing of the past? It’s just that as a typical Zimbabwean I have lost count of things that we are told daily since many years ago they will be things of the past. If propaganda was capital, or if it could boost the economy, I’m sure Vision 2030 will now be a thing of the past before we even get there, kkkk. If you see varakashi praising nonsense you will think whoever is complaining about anything in Zimbabwe is crazy. I see these days they are in overdrive on social media platforms spewing rubbish day in day out, and even those from Masvingo have been recruited and are performing very well vanaKiri Charumbira, kusimbisa musangano kumasero. There is also one with a surname familiar with Masvingo, Chivi in particular, called Mukungunugwa who is busy threatening international comedian Learnmore Jonasi on social media platform X. I wonder if he or she is related to MP Huruva, and if he is, haa mutsiurei honourable arikutinyadzisa seprovince. Tell him even propaganda, just like patriotism has its limit. How many times shall we be laughed at as a province; just the other day, Mai Nhingi was dropping a baby on its head at that Doek and Slay flop. Wherever you turn, ‘Masvingo yazviita zvakare’. Some of the things are too difficult to defend when I am discussing with my fellow vagabond friends in the streets, have mercy on me please, one day I will leave you muchishorwa mumastreets, kkkk.
In this hot weather I just wish I was Tshabangu, or maybe if I had only a quarter of his attitude and bravery I could be drinking something very cold, in an airconditioned vehicle. I wish I didn’t have any shame at all because I could be eating naanaMunhu Mutapa and queens right now. You may say all you want but that man outwitted both Zanu and CCC to get what he wanted. Nhasi angoti murifa zete, while you are busy fighting each other in the streets. If anything, I think he is the ultimate winner in all this. He made fools out of everyone, including those in Zanu because what political capital will someone like Tshabangu bring in the long run? Bango Rako Baba Bertha could be better because we know he was in the opposition picture for a long time before he sold out, and its a fact he has some sympathizers who argue that he probably did it out of bitterness. Tshabangu was just planted like those SADC palm trees, and ended up getting into Senate, and now being invited to state events, where he rubs shoulders with the shefus, including vemargarine pamapendekete vanaChandaizment. Tshabangu restored my faith every day that its true, Mwari vanosimudza marombe kubva muguruva. Have you seen his recent pictures? He stopped foaming on the mouth, yaiva nhamo iya varume, kkkk. I am sure even our own Councillor Masimba has stopped burping after eating council food, he is now used to eating in excess. Zvaingoda Councillor Ma Dorca whom I heard knew very well how to treat herself at those council feasts after full council meetings. One day I should pass by when they are having one and clean my intestines with good food, not the rotten bananas I eat here at Chitima. How is our own Masvingo Senator Cde Sam Chapfudza? Iwo maSenator anomboita basa rei, I have never heard of him even kuno kuchitima kwaaishandira since he became senator.
Speaking of Masvingo, once again we have been remembered ladies and gentlemen because the ‘sadaka’ is coming to us this time. I will never forget the year 2016 when Ba Bona hosted his birthday feast at the same venue our new found Munhumutapa is hosting his. I remember Uncle Bob sitting next to Madzibaba Nhenjana kkkk. Where is that clown by the way kkkk. I ate leftovers from that venue for days, even though I had to walk back to town on foot because the truck that had brought us in its trailer had returned to wherever it came from. One thing I know is that Masvingo is only for such things—maleftovers and endorsing nonsense. At that Mugabe birthday back then, there were even hired spirit mediums who were used to endorse him. For Baba Two the ground has already been set, Masvingo was the first province to push the third term agenda, so I am sure the bootlicking level will be at an all-time high. The Bootlickers Club will obviously be in attendance, grinning and kneeling before their master, like I saw them giggling like toddlers in a bus on their way to Precabe Farm to praise their father for being an excellent farmer. Hanzi Mama Oki is the patron of the Agric4She, whatever that is. I just thought, what in the North Korea is this, haa this teapot shaped country ifirimu. Listen guys, Baba Two is following right in his predecessor’s footsteps, because the lessons are lost on him. People toured the Gushungo dairy farm, with Dr Amai in tow, just like what recently happened kuSherwood kuKwekwe musi uno. Birthdays were celebrated, days were pronounced, titles claimed, just like we are seeing, although the common denominator is always Masvingo being the playground for the Birthday Bonanza buffoonery. Izvo hazvichinji. Once the sirens for their motorcades are silent, we are back to our usual man-made poverty, waiting to endorse yet another nonsensical thing. We know that choosing the Great Zimbabwe Monuments venue, as well as the Munhumutapa title is a strategy, for what, I am yet to find out, but trust me, before the cock crows three times day after the feast, I will have the answers. You know me, ndiri gentleman handivanzi. What I am sure of however is we are going to have some masvikiro business going on there, endorsing and blessing the ‘Munhumutapa’. I wish these masvikiro will one day tell the truth about the looting and corruption, like the one from Renco Mine did. Manje we always hear about how the current President is the one chosen by the ancestors to lead. I just think there is somewhere where we are being fooled. The good part however about ED coming to Masvingo is that we get a lot of new temporary infrastructure—new roads, newly painted buildings, etc. A week after this, you will see, all the potholes will be back to their usual places. Buses that had long broken down were painted new in Mashava for Baba Two’s tour, with cattle brought to CSC to be seen by the country’s first citizen. I can imagine the confusion those cattle had, kkkk.
Anyway, let me go ndinokanga maputi angu for lunch, I don’t want to eat too much junk because I will be there at Great Zimbabwe feasting with others. Vagabonds like us have an advantage of eating even what has been thrown away, but I am sure I won’t miss one box rechicken inn, or maybe a loaf of bread made from wheat yekuSherwood. I hope all my good friends descend to Masvingo for the party, especially Runaida, Dr Gire, and my very best Mphoko. I hope he will be seated in the same tent with other bootlickers, giving them notes on how to properly lick their master’s boots, kusvika pakuda kupa mudzimai waShefu kambani yacho. Mboko imboko!

AU AND SADC: WALK YOUR TALK ON DISABILITY

AU AND SADC: WALK YOUR TALK ON DISABILITY

By Aribino Nicholas (Writing in own capacity)

The African Union (AU) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) are both intergovernmental organizations whose territorial units largely begin and end with the geography and history of Africa. However, with liquid modernity they now find themselves having a lofty connection with geoeconomics and geopolitics dating back to the Berlin Conference of 1884 -1885 where Africa was defined and subsequently ruled according to borders. Africa will not be an island onto itself because of its historicity. Africa by definition is a polymorphous continent comprising 55 countries (AU) and within Africa there is a subregional grouping namely SADC which comprises 16 countries. It is the purpose of this opinion piece to interrogate the seriousness with which AU and SADC approach disability in general and persons with albinism in particular.
From the outset, it is worth noting that the rights of people with disabilities in general and persons with albinism are not a bonus of good times. Essentially, equality rights are human rights in both good and bad times. It is against the above argumentation, that the AU came up with the African Union Protocol on Disability 2018 and that SADC at its recent summit in Harare, Zimbabwe (17-18 August, 2024), adopted a Declaration on the protection of people with albinism. A tooth-pick analysis of these initiatives by these intergovernmental organisations shows that the intentions are good but the outcomes of such intentions are unfortunately poor when measured against quantitative and qualitative indicators. For example, the African Union Protocol on Disability was crafted in 2018, and to date it has only been signed by 14 African countries and ratified by 14 African countries. This protocol under discussion can only come into effect after it has been signed and ratified by 15 member states of the AU. Poring over the protocol, one finds progressive and unique provisions that speak to the structural, behavioural and attitudinal conditions conducive to the mistreatment, killing, oppression, discrimination, segregation, othering, objectification and thingification of people with disabilities in general and people with albinism in particular. Pursuant to the above polemic, in some parts of Africa people with disabilities are seen as a threat to the gene pool of human species and to that effect they are either hidden from public glare or killed. An Amnesty International report of 2020, reports that approximately 151 people with albinism have been killed in such countries as Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania since 2014. 76 deaths are attributed to Tanzania. People with albinism are killed due to socio-cultural beliefs that associate their body parts with the enhancement of luck in business and love.
It is against the above understandings of what society can do to people with disabilities in general and persons with albinism in particular, that the AU and the SADC couched the protocol and the declaration respectively. However, this writer would want to submit that for a goose to lay golden eggs, it will need food and nutrition security to be guaranteed. The initiatives of the AU and SADC on people with disabilities in general and persons with albinism in particular are good on paper but the implementation matrix is pathetic. Implementation is a function of plans and budgetary provisions at the level of individual countries, however the AU and the SADC should build into its programming M and E mechanisms as feedback loops on their expenditure of efforts. It is a fact that a country’s plans and votes (budgetary allocations) towards a certain cause, programme, project, goal or objective constitute public statements of political will and commitment. The AU and the SADC in both documents are not clear on the financing of the popularization and implementation matrix of the instruments under discussion. If, for example, as a matter of policy, I would want my wife to be curvaceous if not bootylicious, it will be incumbent upon me to finance my policy by buying ceravita, potatoes, eggs, vegetables and meat and also to provide an emotional and psychological environment as a catalyst to the fulfilment of my policy. This is not what the AU and SADC have done regarding disability, if for instance AU can look for USD 5.5 billion and SADC USD 3.3 billion from the UN and other well-wishers to feed the starving Africans, why can’t the same supranational bodies look for financial support to avert the killing and abuse of people with disabilities in general and people with albinism in particular? People with albinism are multiply minoritized because of their skin color that is susceptible to cancer, poor eye sight, gender, age, and class, among other intercutting variables that combine to oppress and complexify their lives.
People with albinism need mobile cancer clinics, sunscreen lotion, eye glasses and protective clothing, among other things. Surprisingly, in some countries like Zimbabwe which has roughly a population of 10 000 persons with albinism, sunscreen lotion is not exempted from duty when it is imported. There is a bi-directional link between disability and poverty, most persons with albinism cannot afford to import sunscreen lotions and let alone buy from their local territorial units because the pricing is out of their reach. This also persuades this writer to think that for SADC to adopt a declaration on the protection of persons with albinism is a demonstration of lack of political will and commitment towards the safeguarding and protection of persons with albinism because a declaration is not legally binding as it depends on a country ‘s probity. Summitry diplomacy is associated with the adoptions of declarations, the feel-good arguments which in most cases are vacuous. The AU protocol on disability in its entirety is a sound instrument that just needs to be ratified and naturalized by individual African countries by way of locating disability close to the proximity of power. The AU and the SADC are long on planning and short on implementation, their thinking on paper is flawless, but this thinking without implementation is like a pig’s tail which covers nothing.

Lack of sponsorship hinders Baobab Stars FC

By Tavonga Munyanyi

Since its establishment in 2022, Central Region Division 2 side, Baobab Stars Football Club in Shurugwi South under Chief Ndanga is battling for survival due to lack of sponsorship.
The club Chairman Advance Chatora said lack of sponsorship was hindering the club’s journey towards prosperity.
“We don’t have any sponsorship to relieve our team from financial constraints. When we started this journey, we used to contribute as executive members but some ended up failing and that has affected our growth.
“As club chairperson, at times I’m forced to use my personal resources to pay for service and using my own vehicle to provide transport service with the help of the team head coach Tapretta Kanyemba, Assistant Coach Rungano Mashawi and the secretary Grammer Tafi,” said Chatora.
He said the team was using one soccer ball for training and matches, two soccer jerseys whilst players were struggling to buy soccer boots for themselves and they were appealing for assistance from well-wishers to turn the teams’ fortunes.
“We are appealing for help from anyone willing for the betterment of our survival. Despite the players’ talent and good performance, the team was not developing due to lack of inadequate resources.
“We need soccer kits, balls and shoes among other things as well as finances to motivate the players since some of them have families to feed,” said Chatora.
He however thanked some of the individuals who assisted the team to keep afloat saying without them they could have sunk who included Shurugwi South MP Wilson Mhuri, Ernest Muchechetere , Joy Tapfumaneyi , Rodwell Mbirimi.
He said it was the team’s desire to produce talented players who go beyond to play for Premier league and abroad.
The team, which is a new comer to Division 2 has a piece of land to construct a soccer pitch behind Matsika Shopping Center.

Alert villagers apprehend ZESA cable thieves

By Meditation Mposi

Zaka villagers recently apprehended a gang of six thieves who had stolen 200 meters of armored cables from an irrigation scheme before handing them over to police.
Masvingo Provincial Police Spokesperson Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa confirmed the incident that happened on September 2 at Pamuchena Irrigation Scheme.
“I can confirm the arrest of thieves who stole 200m of Zesa cables at Pamuchena Irrigation Scheme in Zaka. The six accused persons were apprehended by villagers who later handed them over to the police.
“We encourage the public to desist from stealing as that slows down the country’s development. We would like to applaud the community for a job well done,” said Dhewa.
Circumstances are that on September 2, Mutema Machado of Nhongo Village, Chief Nhema, Zaka was at his workplace at Pamuchena Irrigation Scheme, Zaka when he noticed that armored cables from the ZESA poles were missing.
Machado alerted other villagers and they followed footprints found at the crime scene, leading them to Temurai Village, Chief Nhema. At around 1000hours the villagers saw Aaron Mutambi pushing a bicycle carrying a black bag covered with sacks and they went after him but he ran away leaving the bicycle behind.
The villagers opened the bag and saw the armored cables.
After opening the bag another suspect Munyaradzi Mutambi arrived at the scene with the intention of helping Aaron. The villagers then apprehended him before he admitted that he had stolen the cables together with Aaron and Moses Mutambi.
He confessed that they wanted to load the cables into a getaway vehicle that was a few hundred metres away.
The villagers went to where the car was parked and saw Azira Temba (28), Tazira Timothy (32) and Tarisai Dzitiro (27) from Tshovani, Chiredzi.
They also managed to apprehend the three before handing them over to the police.
Sources said the getaway vehicle belonged to a police officer based in Chiredzi.

Zaka Councillor donates to satellite prison

By Meditation Mposi

Ward 8 Zaka Central Councillor Tererai Tererai and former ward 13 Councilor Manfred Mada who is also Zanu PF Zaka District Coordinating Committee (DCC) member recently donated 150kg rice and a jojo tank to Zaka Satellite Prison.
Tererai said they visited Zaka prison on August 23 during the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service Open Week.
“On August 23 it was the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service Open Week, we visited inmates at Zaka Prisons and we spent the whole day with them.
“Usually prisoners are afraid to come back to the society fearing that the society may not integrate them but we comforted and assured them that there was life after jail sentencing and the community is ready to accept them when they get back,” said Tererai.
Tererai said they had a great day interacting with the inmates and they donated some rice and a jojo tank.
“We had a great day interacting with the inmates. We also donated 150kg rice and 5000 litres jojo tank to cater for their day to day needs. The Jojo tank will help to supply water in their garden,” said Tererai.
Mada said they donated hampers to the prisoners to complement the efforts of the government.
“It was a national family week where everyone is allowed to meet prisoners and spend time with them and we decided to spend some time with the prisoners at Zaka Prison and gave them some food staffs.
“Prisons are flooded with prisoners due to the rise of crime rates making it difficult for the government to provide for them, by doing this we were complementing the efforts of the government in feeding prisoners,” said Mada.

Masvingo holds inaugural Mr, Miss Junior Jewels

By Beverly Bizeki

Masvingo Province has for the past few years made headlines in the modelling industry with its youngsters winning on international pageants and has hosted its first ever pageant for young models, Mr and Miss Junior Jewels of Masvingo recently at the Charles Austin Theatre.
Event organiser Tajae Mwenda said the motive behind the pageant was to make a positive impact in the lives of young models while trying to make them reach their full potential.
“Inspiring others makes me incredibly happy, especially when it is youngsters that is why I started Mr and Miss Junior Jewels of Masvingo to make a positive impact in the lives of the upcoming models and help them reach their full potential.
“I am overwhelmed with emotions and gratitude as I reflect on the successes of our inaugural Mr and Miss Junior Jewels of Masvingo pageant. The talented participants left me speechless with their captivating performances and seeing the joy on their parents’ faces was truly heartwarming.
“Although we did not have any sponsors for our first edition, our team’s creativity and dedication made it a unique and memorable experience. We are already looking to next year’s event and are excited to build on this momentum,” said Mwenda.
Speaking at the event, Masvingo Permanent Secretary of Provincial Affairs and Devolution Dr Addmore Pazvakavambwa said the event was timely in nurturing young talent.
“Organisers of this event have made the cliché, ‘catch them young’ a reality rather than empty and rhetoric. This is in the letter and spirit of the mantra leaving no one and no place behind under the second republic. I call upon all relevant stakeholders to continue nurturing these young talents as children can make a living out of modelling. It can be a career on its own,” said Dr Pazvakavambwa.
Dr Pazvakavambwa further urged parents at the gathering to join hands in the fight against the new scourge of drug and substance abuse that was affecting children.
“Whilst a lot of good things and development are happening in our good country, we should take note and be alert to the new scourge of drug and substance abuse ravaging our communities and threatening to destroy our all the giants that we have made as a country among our children. It is sad to note that children as young as 9, 10 or 11 years are already indulging in drugs. It takes a whole community to raise a child, let us embrace the ‘Your Child is My Child’ philosophy which is embedded in our culture,” said Dr Pazvakavambwa.
For the teen queen, Nobukhosi Sibanda (11) won the first position, while Nicole Saurosi(12) was crowned first princess. Kunashe (14) was crowned Teen King while Moreblessing (12) and Prince Piet Mashala were crowned first and second runner up respectively.
Shumirai Mudyanadzo(9) was crowned mini queen while Monalisa Mandikiyana (11) and Kayla Marufu (7) were first and second runner up. Rodney Gombakomba (8) was crowned mini king while Martin Mazorodze (7) and Shayne Mashala (8) were first and second runner up.
Delsa was crowned tiny queen while Angel Chirindo (3) and Pearl (6) were first and second runner ups. For the tiny king category Tawananyasha Mudyanadzo (6) won first position while Desmond Mapfidza (5) won first runner up.
Masvingo has had two of its young models both from Victoria High School winning Toto Miss Africa Zimbabwe pageant with one of the two girls Dillish Masango winning the pageant at the Toto Africa pageant in Nigeria where she was crowned second runner up.
The reigning Toto Miss Africa Zimbabwe, Nothando Gugulethu Sibanda will represent the country in Egypt next year.
