03 April 2017, MWENEZI – A Mwenezi carpenter was last week admitted at Neshuro District Hospital with severe burns after hot water was poured on him allegedly by his wife who suspected he was having an extra marital affair.
Isaac Dziva’s wife reportedly became suspicious after her husband failed to return home after work but sources say Dziva had failed to go back home for the night because the river between his workplace and home had become flooded.
Dziva does his business at Neshuro growth point but he lives at his rural home Mapungubwe village under Chief Neshuro.
When contacted for comment, Dziva said he was not ready to give a detailed comment.
“I am recovering from the wounds and I am too busy to clarify…pandiri pakaipa call me tomorrow,” said Dziva but repeated efforts to get his side of the story proved fruitless.
Sources privy to the incident, however, told TellZim News that Dziva got into trouble with his wife for spending the night away.
“When Dziva finally made it home, went to bath but his wife is said to have followed him with boiling water which she poured onto his backside.
“There was a lot of mistrust between the two. She is his fifth wife so it seems she was already suspecting that her husband was having an adulterous affair somewhere,” said a source.local,top news

– People in Mototi area under Chief Mazvihwa in Zvishavane are living in fear of hyenas which are terrorizing their livestock even during the day.
Villagers who spoke to TellZim News expressed concern as they said their livestock especially goats, calves and donkeys as well as primary school children are susceptible to attacks by the hyenas, given the dense vegetation in the area.
“The hyenas are targeting mostly goats and this forces us to closely monitor our livestock in the bushes as they also attack even during the day. Our greatest fear is that our primary school children might fall prey to these hyenas. We appeal to the responsible authorities to attend to the matter as soon as possible because the hyenas are really giving us sleepless nights,” said Abraham Ndlovu.
Meanwhile a live crocodile was found in Mtambi area under chief Mazvihwa, some ten kilometers away from Ngezi River.
The reptile was reported to the police. Midlands provincial police spokesperson Inspector Joel Goko neither confirmed nor denied the development as he said he was away in Bulawayo.
It is reported that the villagers later killed the crocodile as it tried to escape before the police visited the scene.local

03 April 2017, NGUNDU – The Commercial Bank of Zimbabwe (CBZ) Holdings Limited has donated an ambulance at Ngundu clinic on Monday in an effort to save lives at accidents happening along Masvingo-Beitbridge highway.
CBZ partnered with the Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe (TSCZ) and donated the ambulance after realising that many people were dying in road accidents that happen between Rutenga and Masvingo due to lack of ambulances to transport the injured to hospitals.
CBZ Executive Director Never Nyemudzo praised TSCZ and called upon other private sector players to complement government efforts towards accident prevention and post accident assistance saying accidents are unplanned incidents with far reaching consequences.
“This initiative was made possible by the TSCZ which identified and selected the area of greatest need of an ambulance and facilitated engagements with government ministries and departments as they also helped to get the ambulance registered under the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure Development.
“TSCZ also sponsored the training of the Ambulance team comprising of ten nurses, three drivers and two doctors. We believe that the ambulance will go a long way in assisting victims of accidents and saving lives,” said Nyemudzo.
 The Land Cruiser, which was bought at an estimated cost of USD$70 000 was officially handed over to the Minister of Health and Child Care, Dr David Parirenyatwa who expressed gratitude and encouraged all road users to preserve life.
“We are very grateful to CBZ for what you have done to our ministry and we hope you are going to do this to all provinces. Donations now have to come from us not outside. I also warn the responsible personnel not to abuse the ambulance,” said Dr Parirenyatwa.
Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe Managing Director, Obia Chinyere said they have targeted Ngundu because it has the highest rate of accidents and they saw a need as the deaths involve ages between 25 and 45 which are breadwinners and country builders.health

Dr Shamu


TellZim Reporter

03 April 2017, MWENEZI – The paediatric ward at Neshuro District Hospital has finally been reopened after weeks of forced closure due to severe water crisis.
Provincial Medical Director (PMD) Dr Amadeus Shamu ordered the closure of the ward in February and child patients were admitted into the female ward.
Although Dr Shamu could not immediately comment on the latest developments saying he needed time for some clarifications from District Medical Officer (DMO); Dr Itai Matibiri, TellZim News understands that children have now returned to their section.
Close sources, however, said the water situation had not yet fully normalised but authorities were forced to move children back to their section for fear of disease outbreaks in the female ward which had become heavily congested.
The water crisis at the hospital had also forced authorities to cut-back on new admissions and had led to alleged cases of premature discharge of patients considered to be in non-critical conditions.local

03 April 2017, ZVISHAVANE – The chieftainship wrangle which had has raged in the Masunda area has probably come to an end after the installation of 94-year-old Aaron Vengesa Nyoni as the 13th substantive Chief Masunda since the founding of the Masunda chieftainship in 1850.
Nyoni had occupied the position on an acting basis since 2014 after the death of the then Chief Masunda in 2010 reportedly led to intense disputes among members of the royal line each of whom felt it was their rightful time to take over.
Minister of Rural Development, Preservation and Promotion of National Culture and Heritage Adednico Ncube, who was the guest of honor, urged the newly installed chief to be a figure of peace and harmony in his chiefdom.
“People have been entrusted you with leadership. Lead them wisely and demonstrate exemplary leadership to sustain both the unity. We also urge the chief to shun corruption and coordinate development efforts in his area,” Ncube said.
Chiefs’ Council president, Chief Fortune Charumbira said he expected the chief to address issues of moral decadence that are now common in communities.
“Tsika dzechivanhu dzarasika! Madzishe muripiko?” lamented Charumbira.
Chief Masunda’s area has lately been rocked by bloody battles and gruesome murders linked to rival gold panning gangs.
“Imi vemudzimba dzeushe musazofamba muchikanganisa vanhu munharaunda muchiti muri madzishe, nokuti tinozonzwa zvichinzi mambo haabati vanhu zvakanaka nyamba haasiri iye womene, ndimi vehukama,” Chief Charumbira said.local

31 March 2017, CHIREDZI – Chiredzi Town Council Environmental Health Officer Edson Nyadenga last week clashed with vendors over their relocation to designated market places during a vendors and hawkers stakeholders meeting held at Town Council Boardroom last week.
Nyadenga said council is to move back vendors to their designated places since some of the places are a health time bomb and some vendors are failing to pay levies to the council.
“As council we have decided to relocate vendors to their designated places. This is because some of the vendors are failing to pay market levy to council, at the banana flee market we have finished all the renovations and we feel that the vendors should occupy their places.
“We are not happy with the situation at the banana flee market for there might be an outbreak of cholera if vendors at that place do not exercise hygiene. There is also Msasa drive where there are vendors everywhere, council is yet to give a warning for they should go in the Flee market not in street, we will only allow vendors who sell hardware equipment and they will be in front of N.Richards wholesale,” said Nyadenga.
Nyadenga also announced the designated places for vendors .Council has seen it not suitable to place mobile pay toilets in the streets for some of the vendors are selling on residential areas.
“For the designated places there is Banana and flee market at the light industry ,vegetable market along one way, vegetable market at Zava, Musika wematanda vegetable market. For some of the market places vendors should engage council and council will be the one to consider if the place is proper.
” It is however not proper for us to place mobile pay toilets at all the points where vendors are, some are in the residential areas for it is not suitable to place toilets ,residents need to breath fresh air” added Nyadenga.
However speaking to (CHIRRA) Chiredzi Residents Rate Payers Association Secretary Munyaradzi Chindowe denied the idea that vendors relocate to their designated places due to economic hardship and population increase.
“Vendors are in the streets because most people do not have jobs, our economy is not stable. Council should allow vendors to sell their products in streets since they are paying a fee to local council which will all be a benefit to the residents,” said Chindowe.local

Beatific Gumbwanda

31 March 2017, CHIREDZI – Former Chiredzi North legislator and current Zanu PF Masvingo Provincial Secretary for Information, Ronald Ndaba is allegedly on the ground mobilising support base in Chiredzi urban’s ward 1 as 2018 beacons.
Ndaba, who served two terms as Chiredzi North Legislator before he was outweighed by Robert Mukwena, is reported to have decided to try his luck in Ward One. 
When contacted for comment, Ndaba denied harboring any ambitions of contesting in the 2018 elections saying people are spreading rumors.
“It’s just rumours my friend; I have no interests to become a concillor. In fact if I wanted to be a councilor I could have done that before I became an MP back then. People just circulate rumours but I am not interested in any position,” said Ndaba.
Ndaba, an alleged Lacoste faction loyalist, is believed to have diverted his attention from Chiredzi North to Ward One after strong other candidates emerge ahead of 2018 elections.
“Ndaba wanted to try his luck again as a parliamentarian in 2018 but has since decided to pave way for Roy Bhila who has covered more ground than any potential candidate. They are from the same faction and they cannot be seen contesting each other at primaries,” said a close source.
Bhila could not be reached for comment by the time of going to press.politics

31 March 2017, MWENEZI – Zanu PF Ward 2 councillor, Munyaradzi Sigogo is underfire from party members for allegedly cosying up to opposition politics through his association with Kudakwashe Bhasikiti of the opposition Zimbabwe People First (ZimPF).
Bhasikiti has been the ZimPF candidate in the upcoming Mwenezi East parliamentary by-election until his decision on March 23 to withdraw from the race alleging intimidation of his supporters and vote-buying by Zanu PF.
When contacted for comment, Sigogo told TellZim News there were people peddling falsehoods that he had a soft spot for ZimPF.
 “I am not a ZimPF supporter. Yes, they are denouncing me even in my presence but they do not have any evidence. The relationship between me and Bhasikiti is that he is my son-in-law,”said Sigogo.
At a rally held at Rutenga Primary School recently, Zanu PF Masvingo provincial political commissar Jeppy Jaboon openly denounced Sigogo.
 ” … Pasi naKudakwashe  Bhasikiti na Sigogo ne vose vanomutevera…,” said Jaboon.
Zanu PF provincial secretary for transport and welfare, who is also the Mwenezi district chairperson, Machoko also said Sigogo had shifted his political allegiances.
“It’s known that Sigogo has shifted from Zanu PF to ZimPF. We have already written to the Minister of State for Masvingo Provincial Affairs, Shuvai Mahofa.
“During the national political commissar Saviour Kasukuwere’s recent visit, we briefed him about the issue and we will keep reminding him. Sigogo has decided to fire himself from Zanu PF,” said Muchoko.
Other sources also told TellZim News that Sigogo, who reportedly seldom attends Zanu PF meetings, was on several occasions expelled from private party meetings by his fellow Zanu PF councillors and he would allegedly willingly comply.politics
