ED 2030 Agenda unstoppable – Minister

…as Garwe takes bootlicking to another level
…Seems he eyes National Commissar post
…Mnanganwa anointed by God

By Perpetua Murungweni

Minister of Local Government and Public Works Garwe recently took bootlicking to another level, telling civil servants in Masvingo to all sing the ‘Vision 2030’ hymn as the agenda was unstoppable and they had no option but to join the bandwagon.
Sources within Zanu PF have said Garwe, who has been on a rampage endorsing the ‘ED 2030’ agenda could be eyeing the Zanu PF National Commissar post as he keeps singing praises to Mnangagwa.
Speaking during the launch of the Government Commonage stands held at Masvingo Polytechnic on January 30, 2025 Garwe said while there were known ‘ForED’ outfits where civil servants were affiliated to, it was time for every single one of them to rally behind President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s bid for another term.
“I know we have Teachers ForED, Nurses ForED and all other civil servants but I know some of the civil servants are shy to rise and shine, to speak or be seen endorsing the President.
“It is time for them to start singing from the same hymn sheet with us, because Vision 2030 is unstoppable—it is a reality and it’s better we all join the bandwagon because the President was anointed by God,” Garwe said.
He mocked those who were against the Vision 2030 agenda saying they will soon develop hypertension, adding that the government did not want a situation where it would have to employ more nurses and doctors due to the number of high blood pressure patients.
He went on to say that every Zimbabwean had a mandate to be loyal to Mnangagwa, since it was not an option not to be, adding that those who were against the Vision 2030 agenda were merely wasting their time.
“Mnangagwa is our Moses he was instructed by God in 2017 to become president and develop Zimbabwe without aid from anyone but with the natural resources that the Lord blessed us with. Before Mnangagwa we never knew that minerals like lithium and platinum as well as gas and oil exist in our country.
“No amount of hate speech nor groups formed in this country or outside will stop Vision 2030. We are all Zimbabweans regardless of political persuasion, and our President is none other than Dr Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa,” Garwe said.
He added that Mnangagwa’s leadership by a long shot surpassed that of former President Robert Mugabe, which he said was seen in how Mnangagwa had handled the recent El Nino-induced drought and subsequent food crisis.
“In 2024 this country witnessed a devastating drought, which had never been witnessed in the past 45 years but there was no shop which had no mealie meal, rice or any basic goods and services.
“In 1992 we experienced another drought and we were going to South Africa, Namibia and Botswana to buy mealie meal as there was nothing in the shops and this shows the difference in terms of leadership strategies,” Garwe said.
Garwe applauded the recent ban on United States of America aid to Africa by newly elected President Donald Trump saying those who were in the diaspora should return to Zimbabwe to support Vision 2030.
“I am very happy and grateful to what Donald Trump is doing; he has banned all the aid in Africa, we develop our own country not to be used to turn against your country through aid or funding,” Garwe said.
The Zanu PF Mashonaland East provincial chairperson has on several occasions said amending the constitution to allow for a Presidential term extension for Mnangagwa was not only constitutional but democratic, bashing a section of war veterans who recently came out to oppose the bid.
In Masvingo, Garwe called war veteran Blessing Geza a drunkard who had been sent to insult Mnangagwa after being given illicit beer (tumbwa), calling him ‘Cursed’ Geza to loud cheers from the ruling party supporters.

Vision 2030 madness never about ED, cdes

Guys, did anyone ever hear about the 4ED outfits activities or it was just the usual madness yatakajaira senyika? I only saw Tendai Jari and crew rake rekuYoung Women 4ED toyi toying the other day vachisvotesa Genarari Kedha, ndiyoka For Economic Development yacho iyoyo. I know zvangu you guys, especially maZanu vekufaction ye2030 are happy seeing me say Vision 2030 is never about ED thinking Mapombi is on your side, munopenga, handina kupusa ka ini. But guys, don’t you think it’s high time they give us proper names for these factions tione kufambirana because remember we once had Gamatox and Zvipfukuto, then came Lacoste versus G40, now we want good names anofambiranawo nenguva. I can suggest a few good names though; how about we call vekwaGenarari the Ambi faction, yaBa 2 we shift a bit toiti Garwe, seeing that Danyero is taking the cup in bootlicking? Whatever it is chaari kuvavarira chikuru. Maybe you have better names, itaiwo muchisuggester so that when the action begins, seeing that we are not very far, tinenge tine mazita aribhoo, ko tingadii? Nyika yese we have been reduced to being comedians ka because that’s the only thing we can do zvisina muromo.

Very soon tinenge tawanda mumastreets after all these retailers and wholesalers offload hundreds of workers, apa those deported from the US rinenge ringori besanwa mumastreets nawo maNiggers, kkkkk, kuseka nhamo serugare.
Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, I hope Mthuli is not cooking another stupid programme in light of the new developments. Iye naChitova Mushayazano mheno these days kuti aripi, let’s hope Boys DzeSmoko are not up to something trying kuchera mvura nebasket. Rinozviitaka team riya. You may rig everything else but not the economic team rangu. While you are busy shouting ‘vision 2030’, hee ‘2030 vanenge vachipo’ the economy is behaving like a bull in a China shop, worse still with what Trump recently did, pachazeiwa ndati. If ever Mthuli comes up with some silly programme no one should listen, because as a country, what haven’t we seen? Kwakauya Growth with Equity Policy back then in 1981, ndopaya pavakalootazve in the name of promoting local participation in development, vachijustifier necolonialism tichangobva muhondo.

Kukauya MERP that time when inflation skyrocketed at the turn of the millennium, I was young zvangu in 2001 but I know that it went from bad to worse. VanaMashakada vangova mazuru akapinda nyoka in politics vachiri muGNU launched Medium Term Plan in 2011, tikati hezvino, wanike kufarira n’anga inobata mai.

Iyo economic development yacho by Zimbabwean definition chimbori chiiko ichocho chatisati tamboona? I really wonder because whenever the Zanu government starts throwing around these terms kanenge katori kadhiri kekutora mari zvisina noise. Vanenge voda kushikashika vakomana. We continue being taken for a ride senyika ladies and gentlemen, if you see anything chinonzi 4ED, it is neither for economic development nor for Emmerson Dambudzo but for looting and getting close to power in order to loot even more. I highly doubt that ivo Ba 2 vacho is still desperate for amassing wealth, but kuchiri nezvimwe zvimapere still hungry to get everything they can get. Every single one of them is a scavenger, and you can see it in the level of bootlicking. If you see anyone akasimudza chibhakera mudenga, it’s never about any ED, but for own personal interests. The only people we could give benefit of doubt mawar vet who we can say are protecting sovereignty even though we know zvedu kuti matakanana, not Varakashi who do not even know the history of neither party nor the country, who are twerking for Aquas and mari yaChivhayo. Zvigananda zvega zvega izvi. You cannot tell me that anyone doing anything for Zanu will be doing it for the love of the country, even so called opposition politicians know that, dzitoriwo mbavha dziya. It even sounds unfair calling them mbavha because that has become the normal way of life in this teapot-shaped country. I don’t have any way of proving it zvangu but if all these people were to be given a chance to choose between Ba 2 and Dzambarafuta maiprover theory yangu. I don’t want kurwisanisa hangu My Son Icarus nababa vake but you guys nyatsozvitarisai. Chivhayo must really have something big on Ba 2 because the way he is so untouchable ka. I saw his pictures ari kuKenya with Ruto, ikokozve kwakatangira Vision 2030 naMwai Kibaki don’t forget. Aizve, zvakatangira kuKenya zveVision 2030 izvi. I’m just amused zvangu to know that the 2030 charlatans know that there is a handler somewhere whom they are accusing to be behind Geza, ko saka munomborambirei kuti there is factionalism? Munotijairira imi. Moti kutibira mafuta ayo nyika moti kutinyepera.
But guys, are you sure kuti Genarari is a better devil? I once said ini baba vaya ndinovatya ini.

That is not going to happen. Jonso accepted his fate now akungogadha midhudhudhu in Kenya bothering no one. Let those who are shouting about 2030 shout very loud, chakanakira Zanu inozongobvisa criminals surrounding the president, vakanyarara vachisaramo zvavo.

2017 repeat imminent

Let me tell you the bitter truth that I know most of you don’t want to hear, our problem is not Mnangagwa, I repeat, Ba 2 is not our problem; the real problem in Zimbabwe is the system. I know most of you will not agree with me but I am used to it, I know mofunga ndinopenga but let me tell you, ini ndinoonera manje and let’s not be tempted to do a repeat of the 2017 situation. I see most of you were celebrating statements by Chiwenga castigating corruption and mbingas etc. I saw a small fraction of people singing ‘siyanai naye Chiwenga’ ndikati zvataaangaaaa! On the other hand, Minister of ICT Hon Mavetera was also singing ‘mupanduki’ what what ndikati hokoyo, zvaakuda kunakidza. Let’s witness the drama hedu isu vana Mapombi tichiti regai zvibayane ikoko. History is repeating itself ladies and gentlemen, the script is developing everyday kkkk. Remember Dickson Mafios in 2017 praising Uncle Bob for chasing Ba 2 and making him a boarder jumper. Hanzi makagona president you fired Dambudzo, Dambudziko anga achiuraya nyika.  Institute investigations into command agriculture and arrest him and other ministers involved ndikati right! ‘Fast forward to 2025, we have a new Mafios in the name of Minister of Looting Daniel Garwe. I am saying Minister of Looting because his ministry is the most corrupt one, he presides over rotten councils who are involved in scamming residents buying luxury cars at the expense of service delivery. They do tenders and flout charges to get kickbacks. In Masvingo we have the Mucheke trunk sewer project yakadyirwa mari kudhara and up to now nothing has materialized. The roads are full of potholes and the Mucheke Bridge which links Zimbabwe and Southern Africa is always congested. Chichadonha before Masimba comes back to finish off the bridge in 2030. The bridge was designed for moving traffic not still vehicles. I am not an engineer zvangu but I know the basics. Apart from approving the corruption in local government, Garwe also presides over the traditional leaders who are used as Zanu PF campaigning machinery. He is the one with power to appoint and disappoint kkk. Machiefs anobuda mari veduwe and I wonder why Garwe is so slim, haasimbi kunge munhu akamedza waya. Hanzi naGarwe all those war vets calling against 2030 are demons. I liked it even more when he said before the glory of God is seen, madhimoni anotanga abuda so don’t be surprised when you see all those talking against the 2030 agenda, they are like demons and Mnangagwa will take this country to 2030, ini ndikati heya, regai tione.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me warn you, against denigrating ana Papa imi, nhasi I am more biblical, remember the story of Elisha and the kids who laughed at his bald head, hoo, sekai henyu mhanza yemunhu waMwari. Iyo UNISA yacho inazvowo, nhaimi zvayava kupedza Papa Magaya shuwa. Everything about him becoming fake. Chasara kunzwa kuti he never went to Israel and the pic which showed him with a bag was actually taken somewhere in Mutoko there not Israel, after that tichanzwa kuti chiporofita chese ndechenhema. I think Magaya has learnt his lesson, munhu ngaiite chimwe. Kana munhu ada zvekuprofita ngaagumire ikoko, philathropism and sponsoring football is not a problem as well, izvi zvekuzoti munhu is founder of PHD then you want to use a fake PHD to get another post outside basa rako izvi siyanai nazvo, look now what it has caused apa worse he lost the ZIFA case. Ngaasiyane nezve O’ level and concentrate on the Spirit Level kkkk. I want to urge Magaya to continue sponsoring our football, that’s all we want from him, zveZIFA presidency regai zviende ikoko kuTeam riri paSanction list. Yes hamusi kuziva kuti the new president is on the sanction list? Ee I mean Magwizi, aripo pamasanctions and he is part of Vene. Muchanzwa manje manje kana zvaakudhakwa ikoko they will start saying hee things are not working well because the president is on sanctions.

Right, I am sure you heard what the trumpet said, I mean Trump, he decided to take off USA from funding WHO, the same way Uncle Bob took away Zim out of Commonwealth. Trump is doing what Bush failed to do, keeping his America while we keep our Zimbabwe kkkk. People are crying in many circles over Trump’s decisions. I just want to warn my fellow Zimbabweans that even though some of the decisions are being reversed especially on health, please play wisely, maARVs anogona kungoita mashoma anytime as well as some essentials like condoms and contraceptives. I know some will say hee Mapombi aakutaura zvebonde, but vakuru vakati akuruma nzeve ndewako. I wonder varakashi who were supporting Trump vari kutii. But I am sure you all agree with me, we have our own mbingas formerly called Zvigananda during the war times, we have the likes of Chivhayo, Scott, Passion Java, Tagwirei among others, ah not forgetting vanaPapa, all of them Zvigananda, talk of Herbet Mudzanire aka Angels, look at Makandiwa and Freddy, they all have money to splash and if we channel that towards health and other things we won’t need America I tell you. Without looking at the mineral resources we have in this country, we are already set and if they are accounted for, we will reach vision 2030 of making Zimbabwe an upper middle income economy by June this year. If our leaders account for everything, Zimbabwe would be filthy rich soon and would not rely on America to pay nurses, like what tsikombi yenyika always says, we need new leadership. When I say we need new leadership, I am not referring to Kedha. Yes, I have seen some people in some sections of the opposition pinning hopes on Chiwenga kkk nhamo. Ko vodii ivo vari makwai asina mufudzi? The only hope people had was the young man Nero but he deserted the masses and was unapologetic about it. Now he is just full of bible verses kuto darika vana Magaya. Ndonzwa zvichinzi naJelousy Mawarire paya paakarobwa kuairport during Tsvangirai’s time it was a deal gone wrong nemagoons aRex Nhongo. Moitaneikowo kupolitics uko, kkkkkk. Leave Mukomana to preach in peace. Haa zveZimbabwe zvandikona, no one wants to be confined in their space. Pamwe vana Magaya came to football politics after facing competition from him panyaya dze Bible kkkk, who knows. The army is supporting Kedha and the opposition is doing the same but let me warn you ladies and gentlemen, Zanu PF infighting is like a fight between your parents, stay out of it, never get involved unozonyara manheru vava musame blanket. Let’s not lose focus on Zanu PF factions, it’s their game and they have been there since the war of liberation that’s why some nationalists failed to get into the new Zimbabwe that is what keeps the party strong. Siyai zvakadaro, we all supported Ba2 in 2017 and now people want to repeat the same mistake.

The war vets led by this Gezi guy are crazy, I know they are telling people what they want to hear but I don’t think they are sincere, they are just bitter since they thought the so called Second Republic would give them another 50k kkkk. Why are they seeing that Ba2 is doing chaibva mumba now, where were they all along when people complained? They are just after their pockets, they are part of the system that authored our suffering and Kedha who they want to propel is the one who led us into removing uncle Bob and replaced him with the guy they are now condemning. War vets should know that this country belongs to Zimbabweans not them. If they are sincere they should simply make sure that we go for elections in 2028, people are free to choose whom they want to represent the party not hand picking like they are doing now. The same applies to the opposition, we have a problem of leaders who do not want to leave power. But on another note, Aluta Continua Cde Gezi kkk, we cannot allow someone to break the constitution, 2028 we need elections simple!!!

Before I go hangu kunokanga maputi angu for lunch, mange makanzwa here about the presidential pasture scheme kkk. Scheme yemafuro ladies and gentlemen haa our President is the best kkkk.

Councillors clash over regularising Old Croco Motors rank

…..As council fails to return long-distance buses to Mucheke rank

By Amos Nyanzero

Tempers flared in a Masvingo City full council meeting held at the Civic Centre on Monday January 27 as councillors debated over the installation of a boom gate at the Old Croco Motors pickup point for revenue collection from long distance buses.

Deputy Mayor and ward 5 councillor Daniel Mberikunashe proposed the removal of the illegal bus terminus at Old Croco Motors, proposing that the area be used as a pick-and-drop area for long distance travellers.

“The bus rank must be removed, and I suggest it be used as pick-and-drop area for long distance travellers, with a boom gate for revenue collection,” said Mberikunashe.

Ward 8 Councillor Richard Musekiwa the stood to support Mberikunashe suggesting that installing a boom gate at the site was a practical solution because it could help regulate the flow of buses, allowing council to monitor and keep track of how many buses enter and exit the area.

“By implementing the boom gate system, it would become easier to manage and maintain order at the rank, ensuring better control of transport operation,” said Musekiwa.

Ward 2 councillor Benson Hwata however criticized the idea, arguing that there was no need to establish a pick-and-drop point there, saying touts making noise while loading buses were disturbing learning at Victoria Primary School located across the road.

“Rather than creating unnecessary complications, the buses should use the already existing rank (Mucheke Rank) because there is a school across the road.

“They should only pick and drop off passengers after coming from the old rank. This approach makes sense because currently they start picking people from garages and industrial areas.

“You said Masimba Construction would do the renovations, so they should focus on upgrading the rank rather than the Old-Croco Motors,” said Hwata.

Masvingo City Council, during former Mayor Collen Maboke’s tenure, made a resolution to move all long distance buses to the old Mucheke Rank, but struggled with the implementation of that resolution to date.

The Mucheke terminus was meant to be refurbished through a build-operate-transfer (BOT) system, copying Gweru’s Kudzanayi bus terminus model, but that also failed to materialize, leading transporters to continue using the Central Business District (CBD) for pick-ups and drop-offs.

In 2022 Mucheke Bus Terminus was cited in the city council budget consultation report under investment promotion, where council was looking for business partnership opportunities.

The bus terminus was a potential revenue cashcow for the cash strapped city council, as it has been lying idle for years without any meaningful efforts to refurbish.

In 2024, Mayor Alec Tabe said the bus terminus was going to be transformed into a state of art rank to benefit local businesses and vendors around the terminus to have more customers as travellers would buy from them.

“Masvingo City Council is determined to upgrade Mucheke bus terminus into a state of the art rank. We want it to be of standard level.

“The terminus was benefiting people when it used to run properly, so we want to revive and upgrade it so that those who stay in Mucheke and other local business benefit,” Tabe said then.

Masvingo teen dies in gas explosion

By Rangarirai Shanyurai

A tragic incident occurred on January 24 at around 1830 hours when a gas explosion claimed life of Lawrence Chindanya (14) from Rujeko C, Masvingo, injuring two other people.

Masvingo Provincial Police Spokesperson Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa confirmed the incident to TellZim News and urged members of the public to be careful while using gas stoves.

“I can confirm the incident of gas explosion in Masvingo where the now deceased was burnt to death and her aunt Rutendo Chindanya (29) and their neighbour Viola Kurauone sustained serious wounds leading them to be admitted in hospital. I urge members of the public to be careful when using gas stoves,” said Dhewa.

On January 24 at around 1830 hours Lawrence and her aunt Rutendo were cooking with a gas stove inside the house. At that moment Rutendo added onion to the boiling cooking oil, which caused sparks and ignited the fire. The two started to cry for help which prompted Ernest Kurauone (42) and his wife Viola to rush to their rescue who were already injured. Viola was also injured in turn. Neighbours from the area came to the aid of the three victims.

The victims were taken to Masvingo Provincial Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit. On the same day at around 2000 hours Viola was transferred to Makurira Memorial Hospital due to her condition while Lawrence and her aunt were taken to the Intensive Unity Care Unit at United Bulawayo Hospital due to their critical conditions. Upon arrival at the hospital, Lawrence was pronounced dead and his body was taken to the mortuary.

The property which was destroyed worthy US$900 which include four plate stove, fridge, bed, wardrobe, clothes and other things.

Mentally ill man drowns in Tugwi River

By Meditation Mposi

A 24-year-old mentally challenged man who used to roam around Maringire Business Centre recently drowned in Tugwi River and his body was discovered by a fisherman on January 24.

Taruberekera Mushava (48) of Midzi Village, Chief Nemauzhe in Chivi was fishing in Tugwi River at around 1600hours when he stumbled upon Elvin Munashe Chiwara’s body in the river.

The deceased came from Chiwara Village, Chief Chipuriro, Guruve but was staying with his grandmother in Zihove Village, Chief Nemauzhe.

Mushava reported the matter to the Police who then attended the scene.  Police from the Sub Aqua Unit managed to retrieve Chiwara’s body from the river on January 25. No injuries on the body were seen, hence no foul play was suspected.

On another case on January 24, Talishia Tichagwa (6) of Tichagwa Village, Headman Madamombe, Chivi drowned in Vembe River at around 1400hours while going home from Badza Primary School.

Masvingo Provincial Police Spokesperson Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa confirmed the death and encouraged parents and guardians to look after their children during the rainy season.

“I confirm the drowning of Talishia Tichagwa and I urge parents to look after their children during this rainy season. Cases of children drowning are rising and we implore members of the public to tell their children not to swim in rivers and never to cross flooded rivers,” said Dhewa.

The girl was coming from school with three other children when they decided to swim in Vembe River. She went to deep waters and drowned. Her parents and other villagers were informed and they managed to retrieve the body which was floating in the river.

Her body had no injuries and no foul play was suspected.

Zivavose High boasts of impressive A’ Level pass rate

By Tatiana Mhararira

ZCC St Engenas Zivavose High School in Zaka District has emerged a beacon of academic excellence in the district, recording a flawless 100 percent pass rate in the 2024 Advanced Level Zimsec examinations.

The results testify against a popular perception about the potential of rural schools that are often overlooked in academics, but the school exhibited dedication of its learners, teachers and parents.

Zivavose High head Wilbert Dera said the pass rate was a result of collective efforts by different stakeholders.

“We are ecstatic about our 100 percent pass rate, and we owe it to all to the support from the responsible authority, our fantastic teachers who have gone above and beyond to ensure our learners receive the best possible education.

“We are also grateful for the support and encouragement from our community which has played a significant role in our success. Your dedication and passion for education has made the school a shining example of academic excellence,” said Dera.

26 learners sat for the 2024 November session and all of them scooped 9 points and above, with five learners scooping straight As in their three subjects.

Best learners include Ngonidzashe Makweva, Tinashe Alece, Clemence Rwokuda, Takudzwa Zishiri and Moses Gwandiwa who all had 15points.

The 15 pointers were followed by seven learners who got 14 points and the pass rate resonates well with the school’s motto which says ‘Aim at the very best’ which is a true reflection of 2024’s results.

RCZ schools getting 21st Century face lift

By Brighton Chiseva

The Reformed Church in Zimbabwe (RCZ) has embarked on an ambitious project to upgrade the infrastructure of its schools, which were constructed decades ago.
Renowned for their rich history of academic excellence, this infrastructural development project aims to equip schools with state-of-the-art facilities and amenities, a development that will see the schools embracing modernity while retaining their traditional values.
RCZ Education Secretary Dr. Witmos Mutumburanzou told TellZim News that some old infrastructure was no longer meeting current standards, and the responsible authority encouraged its schools to modernize. He said they were happy with the progress.
“We decided to modernize the infrastructure at our schools since they were established long ago; they could no longer meet current trends. So we are witnessing massive developments at our schools, and the competition is healthy,” said Dr. Mutumburanzou.
He said they were constructing quality structures by ensuring that the schools get the best contractors, as the tendering system is also monitored by the church.
“As the responsible authority, we have made sure that the church’s tender committee is also involved in the school tendering processes so the best contractor is chosen, as there is no way schools can just choose what they want,” said Dr. Mutumburanzou.
He said the major areas for modernization included the construction of new hostels, classrooms, staff accommodation, and modern furniture.
Dr. Mutumburanzou said they had discovered that parents preferred mission schools, especially those located in rural areas, and said some of their schools in Masvingo Province had 90% of their learners coming from areas as far as Harare.
“We have come to realize that parents prefer our schools because they are church schools where morals are taught every day, and their location away from town is ideal for learners as they do not have much interference. They have no access to other things that usually tempt them,” he said.
At Chibi High, one of the fastest developing schools not only among RCZ schools but in the entire province, a new classroom block for A-levels was recently completed and fully equipped with modern furniture.
The whole school was solarized, easing load shedding challenges as the school no longer relies on ZESA for power. The solar power is able to power the school cold room, which stores food supplies, and allows for the extension of study time for exam classes.
The school recently constructed two staff houses with modern facilities and also managed to boost the school’s water reservoirs by erecting 22 Jojo tanks around the school and a galvanized water tank with a 350,000-liter capacity, saying goodbye to water shortages.
It was also said that the school recently upgraded its science laboratories and was constructing a boys’ hostel, which was at deck level.
Bikita District’s Pamushana High, known for its academic and sporting prowess nationally, is trying by all means to increase the number of classrooms to meet demand due to the ever-increasing enrollment influenced by good results.
Pamushana has since completed two classroom blocks, a new spacious center with modern equipment, and sunk more boreholes to ensure that there is running water all the time.
The school also got a 22,000-liter tank for water storage and used the School Development Committee (SDC) account to modernize the ablution facilities.
Located in Zaka District, Jichidza High School is currently constructing a boys’ hostel with the capacity to accommodate 100 learners and will be furnished with modern facilities.
Buhera-based Nyashanu High is one of the best in terms of agricultural projects and boasts a three-hectare plot where they grow different crops, with the produce being used to feed learners. The school is in the process of refurbishing the labs and old classrooms and putting up new roofs.
The girls’ hostel was razed down by fire last year, but they managed to construct a new and modern one.
At Makumbe in Buhera as well, they are busy with the construction of Form Four and Six study centers, and the project was started in November 2024. The school recently purchased a GD6 motor vehicle. It was also affected by natural disasters that blew away roofs, among other damages, but have since managed to repair the damages.
Gutu High recently constructed new ablution facilities in the boys’ boarding area, as well as classrooms. The school is also upgrading classrooms to story buildings. The school has limited space, and that necessitated the construction of story buildings.

Mapanzure High celebrates O’ level results 

By Meditation Mposi

Mapanzure High School in Masvingo District is celebrating their outstanding achievers in the 2024 ‘O level results recently released by the Zimbabwe Schools Examinations Council (ZIMSEC).

Out of 121 learners who sat for November 2024 ZIMSEC exams at the school, 40 learners passed five or more subjects including English Language.

Mapanzure High head Clapos Chauraya said he was grateful to his teachers and learners for the spirited efforts that produced the results.

“I am grateful to my teachers and learners for the good performance. Our pass rate is 33,1 percent which is in line with the national pass rate. We are already working to make sure that this year’s results would be even better.

He said resource constraints were affecting the school, which also has to absorb every learner in the area unlike other schools that enroll based on better Grade Seven results.

“Our wish is that we get enough resources from parents and the community which supports us as teachers and learners at Mapanzure so that we surpass this year’s passrate. Our target is 60 percent and above.

“Remember we are operating in a school which is not better resourced, which is not even connected to the internet, so it’s just a result of sheer hardwork and dedication from my staff. As a school that does not screen students, we enroll even students with 50 units at Grade Seven yet we produce good results,” said Chauraya.

The learner with the highest grades is Ecclesiastes Manzizi with 5As, 4Bs and 1C followed by Sheila Manjonjo with 4As, 6Bs and 1C.

Heritage Studies which scored 19 As with a percentage pass rate of 61,2 percent.

Subjects which scored 50 percent and above include Food Technology and Design with 92,9 percent, Commerce with 85percent, WTD with 80percent, Biology with 80percent, Shona Language with 72,7 percent, History with 65percent, Chemistry with 62,5 percent and Heritage Studies with 61,2 percent.

Mugabe turning in his grave

I know that some of you guys have already begun to idolize the father of all Zimbabwean problems, the late Baba Bona since a little after the 2017 coup. As for me, ndiregei zvangu ini, handizopuse kusvika pakudaro zvekufarira ngozi ndichiti mudzimu. I don’t think chero kumhuri kwacho chidhara chiya kune anotomboda kubudirwa nemudzimu wacho because iihh, rinenge richitori shavi zvaro. One thing I know however is that if he had the powers, he would have loved to live longer than he did, achingotonga. Vakomana ndofunga kutonga kunonaka vakomana because ummm, madirwo akunoitwa nevanhu vaya sooka. Ahh, ko ndangotanga nekulouder zvandajaira, I hope you guys are keeping safe, and hamusi kucrosser nzizi dzakazara nemvura iyi, munongofa ke pakava pasi. Hameno mapothole kuti vachamakwanisa here kuroads uko ivo vajaira kusiira maproject panzira mari yadyiwa zvayo nevane muromo. I heard Mthuli crying about Trump cutting foreign aid hanzi vanhu vachapera nemukondombera, I don’t know kuti the Aids levy inobhadharwa nevanhu iya inoshandei. If only our own government could learn to cut unnecessary spending sedzimwe nyika, we would be having state-of-the-art hospital facilities among other good things. Manje they would rather choose to buy maLandcruiser than kugadzirisa maroads kuti vasvike chero kwavanoda. Mapotholes anonzwika nevemaAkwaya chete, Sisonke imomo. Anyway, back to Bhobho, as they say, there is no rest for the wicked, even beyond the grave. He orchestrated most, if not all our problems so he gave up the right for his soul to rest in peace. Infact, I think he is turning in his grave seeing that those who grabbed power from him are copying from his book, word for word! They are even failing to see where correction is required, kungotora zvose. This endorsement bullshit is not new, takazviona izvi. Tsamba dziri kunyorwa nanaJenfan idzi takadziona idzi. Mabootlicker takambomaona aya, who actually did it way better than zvanaParadza izvi. Gore riya Obert Mpofu haana kuzviti most obedient son here? But when push came to shove, he was the one leading the pack kuda kuimpeacher Bhobho wacho? There is nothing new here, and I think chiri kushinyira Robert seeing all these mistakes being made nevanhu vanokara power. All that English Jenfan wrote defending nonsense hapana kana chitsva paya, even vana iota vese vaya mavhoko tomaziva isu. Remember in 2013 opposition yakaita kupetwa petwa in elections by Zanu, and ground was very fertile to reinforce power kutoita one party state, but that is when factionalism payakatoita senge yadirwa paraffin. At any given time, hativashaye vari disgruntled mumusangano, and they will be moving silently zvavo team 2030 ichiridza mabhosvo. No matter how much they want to deny factionalism, it will always rear its ugly head, we see it through how they act and react. The writing is on the wall; the way they keep sidelining Genarari shows that he is a threat to them. If he wasn’t we wouldn’t even have noticed, dai achingozora Ambi yake zvake ariko akazvinyararira. Extension of Valerio’s term not only spoke but shouted. Takatozvinzwa hedu. I doubt kuti kuri kurarika zvakanaka kuState house uko. One thing about politics rinenge bhora, hazvinei kuti maita possession 90% game rese, vagohwesa zvakawanda ndivo vanohwina. Nyaya ingori pabhora mugedhe chete. In 2017 we saw it all, atukirira Grace marally aitwa hobho hobho, and overnight all was gone. One thing though that I think will irritate Bob is the lack of time consciousness yeTeam 2030 because what we should remember is that from now until 2030 pane five years, and if so much could happen in one day back in November 2017, what more in five years? Bob will be infuriated by his student Baba Two for not taking into cognisance that he actually has enemies within the party vanotozikanwa, unlike Baba Bona vaingonamatwa nemunhu wese and when things went south, they jumped sides and became loyal to ED. There are many people who were never opposition vemumusangano who will find the means to fight the 2030 agenda, even if it sails through kuParliament kumatofo eopposition uko. Even if they do mareferrenda, constitutional amendment ikaitwa, it will never be as easy as they see it to be. The game plan seems too rash, far from the Mugabe style. Chete the bible says baba vebenzi havana mufaro, wakabereka benzi unohwa shungu, ndozvaakasiyavo izvi Bhobho, uku mabiological children arikupengeswa nemadrugs, mentee achioneswawo chitsvuku nepolitics, kkkk, huye bodo. Talking of mentees and mentors, kana tazogara macdes kune vanhu vanohustler in this country. Mudiwa has been everything, from being a rapper, actor wemadrama ekwaHubert Mudzanire emiracle money, onzizve naSusan Mutami ndirunner wevakuru, plus many other things. Pakuzoramba kuti I have never met Genarari ndopavakazomubatira, ko internet inombozvida here zvevanhu vanoramba zvavakaita, ndiye mav11 bvuu, kkkk. How can he say he has never met his cousin Marry Mubaiwa’s former husband? Kutijairira ikoko. Doesn’t he know that the internet does not give you the right to be forgotten? Association naGenarari mazuvano yakutyisa nemabhinya e2030 agenda aya. Even the Genarari himself said ngatiite zvepeace kuChikomo kwaperera vamwe vavo uko.
But ladies and gentlemen, one other thing that I think must be making Mugabe turn in his grave ndidzo shamwari dzedu dzekuEast idzi. Zviya zvekuti Zimbabwe will never be a colony again zvaiva zvaBa Bona zviya, now Zhingaz riri kuonesa mwana wemutema ndondo munyika yechipikirwa. The amount of brutality we are seeing from these so-called friends of ours haa the Smith regime would be green with envy. I once told you guys kuti the main aim of this establishment is to take us as far back into history as possible, until tadzokera kuMutapa kingdom. Vaya vasina kuona colonialism marangarirwa, just go to those mines and factories yethose friends from the East muzvionere. Muzukuru waNehanda ari parumananzombe, apa chekuita hapana, kushanda pfuti yakakokwa. The government does not have an alternative so kutongotamba irikurira. Zvishoma nezvishoma takaenda kwatakabva. I wonder where the loud mouths war veterans are because this is where we should see them raising their voices, not kungwarira paduri sehuku. Isn’t this what they fought against, zvekuona mwana wemutema achishungurudzwa nevachena?
Anyway, let me go ndinokanga maputi angu for lunch, while I wait for the messengers who will come to ask me about some of the issues I discuss here. Phone handina musazvinetsa henyu, chandinacho izambia netshirt yemusangano zvakanzi ‘nyika inotongwa nevene vayo’. These days kune madomasi, mabanana, miriwo zvakaora so I have a balanced diet. I am even developing zvimhasuru kuzomona mabhodho erupiza once Dr Amai comes neprogramme yeGota-Nhanga here in Masvingo. On second thoughts, I should speak too loudly about my rotten food stock ndinganzwikwa neZimra kwanaMasomere uko, kkkk.
These days tofa naro discourse from the anti-2030 failed opposition leaders, nanaDhagi Bango Rako takutovaonerawo ipapo. I am still disgruntled though about Prophet’s disqualification kuZifa uko because that man has done a lot for local football. Chete haiwawo, chero apinda kuZifa kwacho, chii chakanaka chingabva Nazareta? Same old. Zanu, Zifa, Zesa, Zimra zero!
