30 years for killing patron over spilt soft drink.

Tinaani Nyabereka

Mberengwa – A 32-year-old man was this week sentenced to 30 years in prison by Gweru High Court for killing his drinking patron over a grudge that emanated from a spilt soft drink.
The drink was allegedly spilt while in the hands of the now deceased’s sister after the accused bumped into her coincidentally.
Gweru High Court judge Justice Evangelista Kabasa slapped Morgan Nsingo (32) with an effective 30 year jail sentence.
In a case which was presented by the State counsel Mirirai Shumba, it was heard that Nsingo of Nkani village in Chief Bvute’s area Mberengwa and now deceased Bloodwell Musiiwa (28) of Mukukwami village (under same Chief) were drinking beer separately with friends at Bvute Business Centre.
It is understood that a misunderstanding arose after Nsingo spilled the soft drink which was being held by one of Musiiwa’s sisters who was also drinking at the same place.
Upon realizing what had happened Musiiwa confronted Nsingo over the incident but the now convict allegedly became violent and picked up a fight with one of the patrons who was drinking with Musiiwa.
After the intervention of other patrons, Nsingo left the business center and went home.
It was further stated that the following morning Nsingo went to Musiiwa’s homestead armed with a knife to settle the previous night’s grudge.
He woke Musiiwa up accusing him of attacking him the previous night. As he charged towards Musiiwa, he drew out an Okapi knife which he used to stab Musiiwa once on the chest leaving him lying on the ground screaming for help.
The now deceased’s uncle heard him screaming and took him to hospital where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
A police report was made leading to Nsingo’s arrest.
Musiiwa’s body was taken to hospital for post mortem where post mortem results indicated that he died due to perforated heart and hemorrhage shock.

WALPE condemns abuse of female candidates ahead of by-elections

. . . as CCC forces Masvingo Urban Ward 4 candidate Muchuchuti to withdraw

TellZim Reporter

MASVINGO – Women Academy for Leadership (WALPE) has condemned with strongest possible terms the abuse of women by political parties ahead of the by-elections slated for March 26, 2022.

The condemnation comes at a time when the newly formed Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) national executive is forcing Masvingo Urban Ward 4 female candidate Thokozile Muchuchuti to withdraw her candidature to pave way for Aleck Tabe.

Muchuchuti successfully filed her papers when the nomination court sat on January 26, but the national executive later approved Tabe to also file his papers for the same ward resulting in CCC fielding double candidates.

Now in attempting to solve the impasse, CCC national executive has seen the female candidate as the weaker point and they were allegedly threatening Muchuchuti that the party will take stern measures against her if she does not withdraw her candidature.

WALPE condemned such behaviour and urged political parties to respect women and promote gender equality.

“We note with concern the heavy handedness of some political party officials on women candidates that want to participate in the coming by-elections. There are disturbing reports of women being harassed verbally and emotionally blackmailed within their political parties to threaten and discourage them from fully participating in leadership process. This must stop,” said WALPE in a statement.

“We call on all political parties to respect the tenets of Sections 17, 56 and 80 of the constitution of Zimbabwe and uphold provisions for gender equality. Political parties must name and shame those culprits and bring them to book,” the statement continues.

CCC national leadership led by secretary general Charlton Hwende came to Masvingo over the weekend and tried to force Muchuchuti to withdraw her candidature so that a male candidate Tabe can contest.

Hwende was accompanied by party secretary for local government Jacob Mafume, secretary for rural mobilisation and strategy Happymore ‘Bvondo’ Chidziva, local leadership including provincial chairperson Misheck Marava and provincial secretary for elections Godfrey Madzikanda among others.

The national leadership however failed to convince her to withdraw after Muchuchuti insisted that she wanted to consult party members in the ward first before she signs withdrawal papers.

This is not the first time Muchuchuti was victimised by the opposition party as she was shoved off after defeating Godfrey Kurauone during party primaries in 2018. Kurauone later connived with the national executive which later declared that the ward was a preserve for the youths, which was how Kurauone ended up contesting and winning Ward 4 in 2018 general elections.

ZEC should exonerate the media from ‘double accreditation’

The March 26,2022 House of Assembly and local authority elections to fill in the vacant seats left due to either recalls by MDC-T led by Douglas Mwonzora or deaths, present another opportunity for electoral management body Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) to rethink its decision to demand accreditation for local journalists in covering elections.
Local media personnel are registered with the Zimbabwe Media Commission (ZMC) for the duration of a working annual calendar to legalise their operations. The question that arises now is: Why would ZEC demand accreditation specifically for the covering of elections?
The fact that these people are already registered to operate and work as well as execute their duties with the same document, then ZEC should have taken cognisance of such legalization and avoid what seems to be double accreditation.
Allowing registered journalists to cover elections without further requirements or other documentation would have been the only way to go. With the current economic challenges obtaining in the country, continuing to milk the ‘fourth estate’ by requiring more funds for registration, will not do any good than harm to the fraternity.
As a result the demand for accreditation ends up being an obstruction to journalists who would intend to cover elections as some may feel it is not necessary to fork out more money when the press card provided for by ZMC could work under such a scenario.
As a result, ZEC as a responsible authority should rethink or even reconsider their decision as regards to registering or demanding journalists to ensure accreditation with them.
Also the media should be allowed freedom to carry out their duties without undue influence, fear or favour and all the responsible authorities should patiently bear with media professionals as the ZMC is yet to give green light for journalists to apply for annual accreditation.

Teachers want school fees exemption for their children

…..threaten to boycott lessons when schools open

Rutendo Chirume

Teachers have come up with new demands, adding exemption of their children from paying school fees to the list of teacher remuneration citing low salaries.
They also threatened to not show up at respective stations on February 7 when schools open.
Teachers received their salaries on January 18 but have complained that they are already bankrupt because the ZW $ 30 000 salary barely cover their expenses with a food basket of an average family of six costing ZWL$ 36 000 per month.
Pride Muchiruka, an Early Childhood Development (ECD) teacher at a local school bemoaned the level at which teachers have been reduced saying that at least government should pay fees for all teachers’ children since they are being under paid.
“My father was a teacher and I never ran out of anything. Other pupils used to envy us, but now I cannot say the same for my kids. If government caters for our children’s school fees, it will be much better since they cannot give us enough money. I have two children both in primary school, but I am not able to pay for their school fees with the salary hence I am forced to do part time jobs to supplement my salary,” said Muchiruka.
Progressive Teachers’ Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) president Takavafira Zhou gave Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (MOPSE) 10 days to consider teachers’ plight and declared that their members will not turn up for the opening of schools as they cannot afford to teach other people’s kids while theirs will be at home due to incapacitation.
“We are not telling our members any message but rather they are telling us as leaders. They want to be exempted from paying school fees for their children at all government owned-schools. None of us are able to pay for school or college fees for our dependents. It does not make sense that government expects our members to teach other people’s children while ours are at home. Teachers are not ready. Government must address their salaries and conditions of service before opening schools. The restoration of the purchasing power parity of teachers’ salaries to US$540 is long overdue and so is the implementation of an array of education sector-specific allowances agreed to over the past five years,” said Zhou.
Amalgamated Rural Teachers’ Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ) president Obert Masaraure said the exemption of teachers from paying school fees is long overdue and should be implemented immediately if government wants to see teachers returning to classrooms.
“The exemption of teachers’ children at all government owned schools is long overdue and that alone will not be able to take our teachers back to classrooms, but would at least lessen the burden since salaries are too low. The schools’ calendar was released but teachers will not be there to deliver lessons, even most pupils will not be there because many parents may not be able to pay school fees and other required learning instruments due to the financial and economic hardships in the country. Therefore, all teachers under the ARTUZ banner and rest of teachers around the country resolved not to attend any lessons if government refuses to address our grievances,” said Masaraure.
Contacted for comment MoPSE director of communications Taungana Ndoro said the call for strike by teachers is not new to the ministry as they are now used to such kind of messages.
“I do not have any comment on the exemption of teachers’ children from paying fees, but as for the issue of strike, we always hear that towards opening of schools. Teachers always say they will strike,’’ said Ndoro.
Primary and secondary schools are set to open on February 7, 2022.

Schools ready for opening-Heads

Melinda Kusemachibi

After the announcement of school opening dates by Acting Minister of Health and Child Care, Professor Dr Aaron Murwira, school heads in and around Masvingo province have said they are ready for opening.
Ndarama High School Head Oddy Matongo said they are more than prepared to open schools.
“Students have been to school since January 2, 2022 up to date writing other part of examinations and we are only a week before the new term begins. So in terms of preparations we are and have prepared to open schools. It was only the date announcement that we were waiting for,”said Matongo.
He however said that the challenge currently obtaining at the school is a human resource one as most of their teachers are going to ZIMSEC for marking.
“However, now we have a challenge as most of the teachers who have been preparing to open schools are going for marking which runs up until February 26 for both Advanced and Ordinary level examinations. But on curbing Covid-19, we are prepared since we have sanitizers in place and are receiving more anytime soon. The school will also be fumigated,” said Matongo.
Copota School for the Blind Head Alfred Madamombe said that both teachers and students are ready for school opening.
“We are ready to open. We have received disinfectants, sanitizers, liquid soap and other materials for use by learners. What is left is the school to be opened,” said Madamombe.
Zimuto High School Head Harris Mashava said their school is prepared come opening day.
“We are looking forward for pupils to start coming on Sunday. We are yet to receive Protective Personal Equipment (PPEs) such as sanitizers from the Ministry but we already bought our own sanitizers,” said Mashava.
Pamushana High School Head Agrippa Moyo concurred with Mashava on their preparedness for schools opening.
“Having been given ample time to prepare for the opening of schools since January 10 which was the first date, we can safely say that we have everything in order and we will open our doors for pupils this coming Sunday since it is a boarding school,” said Moyo.
Gutu High School Head Mirirai Mutanda said they invited the District Schools Inspector (DSI) and confirmed that everything is set.
“Our DSI and his team inspected the school on January 31, 2022. As a school we are ready for schools opening,” said Mutanda.
Chikuku School Head Reuben Rukuni, however said they are not yet prepared since they do not have enough money to adequately prepare for opening.
“We are going to conduct a meeting since the school has got no money, and after that we will have a way forward,” said Rukuni.
Masvingo District Schools Inspector Ishmael Chigaba said schools are more than ready to be opened as children had spent more time at home.
“We are ready for school opening. We had received enough sanitizers and schools will be fumigated,’ said Chigaba.
Meanwhile in Zvishavane, Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (MoPSE) has started issuing out various materials meant to curb the spread of Covid-19 in preparation for the opening of schools set for February 7.
In an interview with TellZim news, Zvishavane District Schools Inspector (DSI) Eusebia Zvinowanda said the ministry was issuing out disinfectants and hand washing liquid to all the schools in the district.
“We are trying to ensure that we reduce the number of Covid-19 cases in schools,” Zvinowanda said.
She also said that school teachers are advised to sanitize and disinfect their classrooms and toilets regularly.
She also highlighted that they are distributing these items basing the number of staff and students at school.
Acting Minister of Health and Child Care, Professor Dr Aaron Murwira said schools can open after one week of finalizing all preparations by both school administrators and parents.
“The general school calendar starts on February 07, 2022 following one week of finalizing all reopening preparations by both schools’ administrators and parents,” he said in a press statement.
Schools had been closed since December 17 2021 and were supposed to open on January 10 this year for the first term of 2022.

Gweru council to ring fence water account for ZESA’s $247 million debt

Tinaani Nyabereka

Gweru- Following the recent power cuts at Gweru council’s main water treatment plants by Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (Zesa) over the past weeks, the local authority has since agreed to settle the outstanding debt by ring fencing the water account.
Speaking during an engagement meeting with Zesa team and the Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution Larry Mavima in Gweru last week, Gweru Acting Town Clerk, Vakai Chikwekwe said an acceptable payment plan had since been made to the power utility.
He added that, as a local authority they have asked the resident minister to petition the line ministry over the re-introduction of set-offs.
“As city of Gweru we have engaged with Zesa on a number of agreements and have always done that before. We have agreed to have set-offs revived because the line ministries used to help us with those and we have agreed with the Minister of State to petition the line ministry , that is the Ministry of Finance over this setoff so that they help us clear our debt.
“We are also going to ring fence the water account so that we use it to clear the debts. This account has been used before to pay for other essentials such as chemicals and uniforms for our workers in that department and we have resorted to use it to clear the arrears at hand,” Chikwekwe said.
He added that water disconnections for residents with outstanding bills required a constitutional approach.
“On debt collection, yes it is one mechanism we have tried before but totally disconnecting residents is the last resort of all as that requires a constitutional approach. As a local authority we are continuously engaging our residents and the business community to pay their bills,” he added.
Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution Senator Larry Mavima however instructed the power utility not to switch off the city’s water systems.
“I call upon Gweru city council to come up with an acceptable payment plan to clear its ZESA debt while calling on residents to pay their water bills and rates timeously,
“And for Zesa, I urge you to explore other measures of enforcing payment for services by local authorities as opposed to resorting to disconnection of power at critical service facilities such as water plants. The local authority will not disconnect residents’ water and instead should look at other alternative ways to recover the debt such as attachment of property.
“As for the residents of Gweru, they must fully play their part by consistently paying their water bills and rates to enable the local authority to meet its service delivery obligations,” he added.
Meanwhile Zesa Acting General Manager, Gibson Kasipo said the power utility was closely working with the local authority in averting some of the challenges on the ground.
“We always work closely with our local authority especially when we have challenges on the ground. During the rainy season, we usually encounter a lot of faults due to bad weather.
“So we usually seek assistance in form of tractors because some of the areas are not accessible. More so when our supplies are low or when shedding, we always notify them. So our interventions take long during this period,” he said.
Highlighting the aspect of introducing alternative power sources, Gweru council said it has no resources to establish such plants at the moment.
“While the local authority would love to have an alternative backup power source like a solar plant to ensure uninterrupted water supply, we do not have the financial muscle to undertake installation of solar power at our water works.” said GCC’s director of Engineering services Praymore Mhlanga.
Residents in areas such as Mkoba 19 and 20 as well as some some parts of Ascot have since resorted to harvesting rain water as council water remains a scarce commodity due to water rationing among other challenges.
Last year Zesa switched off Town House as the debt accumulated to ZW$143 million.

ZCTU raps private sector over Covid-19 allowance

Fredrick Moyo

Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Union (ZCTU) has rapped the private sector over their failure to give workers Covid-19 allowances like government is doing despite expecting full productivity from the risk-prone workers.
Addressing workers at ZCTU Southern region board-room in Masvingo,
on January 24, 2022, ZCTU president Florence Mucha Taruvinga said the private sector should follow the government move to give workers Covid-19 allowances since the pandemic is affecting every worker.
“The private sector is neglecting its workers by not giving them Covid-19 allowances like what the government is doing. What is disturbing is that, the private sector just follows government moves in enforcing lockdown periods as well as lifting them when government does so, but they would not even bother to follow when it comes to giving workers Covid-19 allowances.
“The pandemic is affecting every worker and every worker should be given Covid-19 allowances to help them during this difficult time of the pandemic,” said Taruvinga.
She went on to accuse government and private sector employers of joining hands to oppress the ordinary worker as they are failing to meet the basic requirements of the worker.
“The government and private sector employers have joined hands in oppressing us as workers. They are failing to meet our basic needs as workers.
“What should we do when a worker’s salary is below ZW $ 71 000 that was drafted last year, when the same worker is failing to travel from one place to the other just because his/her salary is not sufficient?” said Taruvinga.
Taruvinga added that the Zimbabwean market is demanding United States dollars whereas a worker is getting paid in local currency that is not sufficient to sustain their needs.
She also said that the government is failing to address the grievances that the workers are facing and refusing to discuss their issues citing that there is Covid-19.
“Yes there is Covid-19, but by-elections are being held during the pandemic, so why is the government not listening to our grievances and allow us to discuss the issue.
“Calling for the rights of the worker is not to remove the president but to know what he or she would eat and what would his or her pension be like tomorrow. We will keep on talking about the issue until we are heard. As workers, we are continuing to fight for our rights so that we will be paid in US$,” said Taruvinga.
The government has of late been struggling to deal the rage of its workers who are demanding that their salaries be in United States dollars as the local currency continue to lose value on the parallel market.
Accompanying Taruvinga were vice presidents Valentine Chikosi, Nicholas Muchapiwa and Runesu Chipamaunga, Secretary general Japhet Moyo, his deputies Runesu Dzimiri and Kudakwashe Charumbira, Treasury general Douglas Chiradza as part of the new leadership ushered in last year.

YDZ calls for broad-based, progressive electoral reforms

Rutendo Chirume

Youth Decide Zimbabwe on January 21 2022 released a statement imploring Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) to develop broad-based and progressive electoral reforms to prove proficiency come March 26 by-elections.
YDZ said ZEC and other state institutions should take outstanding steps towards constructive correction of the systems and processes so as to move away from the past where other parties after each election reject and dismiss election results citing inappropriate conduct or rigging.
“Most of all, we implore with the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) to prove proficiency as obliged by the Constitution of Zimbabwe and the Electoral Act. In Zimbabwe, we have a record that after each election, other parties usually reject and dismiss the election results citing either inappropriate conduct or rigging. Meanwhile we call upon ZEC and all state institutions to correct outstanding steps towards constructive correction of the systems and processes so as to dissipate from the past. As young people, we call for immediate, broad-based and progressive electoral reforms,” read the statement.
YDZ also bemoaned the delay of parliamentary and local government by-elections date announcement by President Emmerson Mnangagwa which was supposed to be held in March 2020 saying it is a repression of the constitutional rights of the citizens.
“Youth Decide Zimbabwe (YDZ) has noted the proclamation of the delayed and much-awaited by-elections date by President Mnangagwa. The most important feature of a democratic society like Zimbabwe is the conducting of free, fair, credible and timeous elections. Before anything else, we unyieldingly reprove the dilatory of the Parliamentary and Local government by-elections which have been vacant since 2020. The postponement of by-elections was just and a successful repression of the constitutional rights of citizens. We pleadingly charge the responsible authorities to always act as per constitutional obligations,” the statement read.
The statement also encouraged the youth to participate in the forthcoming by-elections with great efficacy and determination as a potent to fight corruption, nepotism and consolidation of power and that the whole nation should reject and renounce ancient politics characterized by violence, hate, blaming and sloganeering.
“We fervently encourage the youth to participate in the forthcoming by-elections with great efficacy and determination. We strongly believe that voting is a civic right and responsibility which the youth must be providing guidance and direction as well as determining and protecting the outcomes. The youth must use elections as a tool to fight corruption, nepotism and authoritarian consolidation of power under all and any circumstances. We encourage the youth and the generality of citizens across the nation to boldly reject and renounce the ancient politics which were characterized by violence, hate, blaming and sloganeering. It is high time for us as the youth to strategically position ourselves as agents of national development and transformation,” it read.
Zimbabwean election periods have been characterised by political intolerance in which intra and inter-party violence became common features in the run up to, during and soon after the polls.

CCC SG Hwende fails to resolve Masvingo ward 4 debacle

Faith Duri

A delegation of Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) led by Secretary General Chalton Hwende yesterday (February 1) failed to solve the Masvingo Urban ward 4 by-election candidate impasse after conducting a meeting.

The team which comprised of Secretary for Local Government Jacob Mafume, Secretary for Rural Mobilisation and Strategy Happymore ‘Bvondo’ Chidziva, local leadership including provincial chairperson Misheck Marava, provincial secretary for elections Godfrey Madzikanda among others was on a mission to allegedly force Thokozile Muchuchuti to withdraw her candidature from ZEC after the party fielded two candidates in the same ward.

The team reportedly met at former ward five and by-election candidate Daniel Mberikunashe’s place at around 1600hours and the meeting ended around 1800hours.

Sources who spoke to TellZim News said the leadership tried to convince Muchuchuti to step down paving way for their favourite Aleck Tabe but she refused to be cowed down saying she could not step down for the second time.

“We thought they have come to do primaries and ask the loser to withdraw but instead, they simply wanted to force Muchuchuti to withdraw. They are just doing it because she is a woman and are not considering that she is the sole female candidate in the four wards up for by-elections in the constituency,” said the source.

In 2018 she won primary elections ahead of the preferred candidate Godfrey Kurauone who went on to take the ward after it was declared to be a reserve for the youth.

This time around she had an upper hand but Tabe was handpicked to contest against her and they refused to do primary elections fearing Muchuchuti’s popularity in the ward.

“Most of the top leadership preferred Tabe and wanted Muchuchuti to step down but they failed and will now present reports to the national leadership which will make a decision on the matter,” said a source.

Another source said Muchuchuti is being backed by Vice President Lynette Karenyi-Kore and former provincial chairperson James Gumbi, current provincial spokesperson Dereck Charamba and majority of the provincial main wing, women and some youths.

On the other hand Aleck Tabe has the blessing of SG Hwende, Happymore ‘Bvondo’ Chidziva, Cecelia Chimbiri and former ward four councillor Godfrey Kurauone.

“Muchuchuti has the support of vice president Kore and Gumbi among others. Gumbi has the financial muscle and is the one financing her campaign. On the other hand, Tabe has Hwende, Chimbiri, Bvondo and Kurauone in his corner that is why he is also defiant,” said the source.

Other sources said they asked her to step down promising her the provincial chairlady post.

Marava and Charamba could not be reached for comments as their mobile phones were not getting through.

Hwende was also not picking up his phone and did not respond to WhatsApp messages.

Muchuchuti however vowed not to withdraw her candidature saying she had endured enough since 2018 and the electorate and her campaign team are urging her not to succumb to the pressure.

“They promised me the provincial chairlady post because there is no one on that post. Also they said at next elections they will appoint me number one provincial councillor.

“I refused to step down because my campaign team has asked me not to withdraw. The electorate needs me so I cannot betray their trust. We have already made flyers, so we are going ahead as planned,” said Muchuchuti.

A number of ward four people who spoke to TellZim News vowed to continue supporting her saying they do not know why the top leadership is anti-women.

“Why are they always asking her to step down when she wins the primaries? They should give those powerful posts they are promising her to the people she defeated. We want her to be our councillor and nothing else,” said one of the residents.

Kurauone is the one influencing the national leadership to support Tabe and last time they also promised her the same but nothing materialised,” said one resident.

The fiasco started on January 26 when the national leadership signed both candidates’ papers for nomination and both sailed through.

It is alleged that some people aligned to Tabe attacked Muchuchuti and took her handbag which contained papers for nomination, and she is reported to have sustained some injuries.
