WATCH: #Vic Falls Is Not Dry

Dr Nkululeko Sibanda, the spokesperson of the leader of the opposition MDC, Nelson Chamisa has claimed that the youthful leader was under military attack. He posted on twitter saying:
<blockquote>President Chamisa <a class="link-complex" data-user-name="nelsonchamisa" href="https://twitter.com/nelsonchamisa/" rel="noopener user noreferrer" target="_blank">@nelsonchamisa</a> is currently under military attack in Marondera. He remains unfazed.</blockquote>
It is however not clear what kind of attack is Chamisa exposed to. Earlier MDC Masvingo Branch had posted on Twitter alleging that heavily armed police and military personnel were at the event where the party intended to plant trees. MDC Masvingo posted:
<blockquote>Heavy armed police and military personnel on a planned <a class="link-complex" data-user-name="mdczimbabwe" href="https://twitter.com/mdczimbabwe/" rel="noopener user noreferrer" target="_blank">@mdczimbabwe</a> tree planting Activity planned by members of the MDC.

Meanwhile, <a href="https://twitter.com/tsungieshoriwa/status/1201100244135632896">Tsungirai Shoriwa </a> responded to Sibanda’s post on Twitter saying:
<blockquote>He is trying to do a tree-planting ceremony at Cherutombo Primary in Marondera and has been (only) denied entry chete. Why he even chose a govt institution for that is incomprehensible. The clash was inevitable and it appears that’s what he also wanted.</blockquote>
The development comes at a time when the state has blocked a number of MDC gatherings saying that there was evidence suggesting that they would degenerate into chaos.

"The President Is Currently Under Military Attack In Marondera," Chamisa Spokesperson

MDC Spokesperson, Daniel Molokele has narrated how he was involved in a road accident in which he sustained minor injuries.
The accident happened on Friday along the Bulawayo-Victoria Falls road when he was on his way to Hwange. Molokele revealed in a statement that he was now recuperating from his Hwange home. He wrote:
<blockquote>Hallelujah! I thank God I am still alive. Last night I was involved in a car accident near St Lukes turn-off (close to Lupane. By God’s grace, I escaped with minor injuries. It could have been worse.
I was driving from Bulawayo to Hwange when I saw a herd of cattle crossing the road in the darkness of the night. Instead of driving straight into the herd, I swerved off the road. My truck ended up stuck up on a dry and sandy small riverbed. The ruck is badly damaged, but the engine remained intact.</blockquote>
Meanwhile, the Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe has been urging drivers to be extra-vigilant on the roads since some, if not most, of the accidents, are caused by human error. Posting on Facebook, the council said:
<blockquote>Don’t phone, text, and drive. IT CAN WAIT!</blockquote>
Some of the accidents have also been caused by the poor state of the roads.

Exiled former Tertiary Education Minister, Jonathan Moyo says Zanu Pf is collapsing and further claims that the army has dumped the president VOA reports.
The publication qouted the Newsday which spoke to the fundi who said:
<blockquote>There’s now a shell of a government with no centre … So, the return of a well-made up and well-groomed Chiwenga, with a presidential look, has turned things upside down in the corridors of power. A different power matrix is definitely loading, and the question is not whether it will materialise, but how it will do so and when
I think Zanu PF is imploding. The writing is on the wall that Zanu PF has lost the army or that the army has lost interest in Zanu PF.
…He’s not a leader. But of course, Mnangagwa wants to be a leader, apa haana vanhu (yet he has no support) … The problem for Mnangagwa is that he has no base: He no longer has support in Parliament, no support in Zanu PF, save for his clansmen, no support in the army and no support in the business community</blockquote>
Professor Moyo was speaking after VP Chiwenga came back home last weekend looking fit and healthy and <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/11/23/watch-chiwenga-arrives-back-in-zim/">refuted a rift in Zanu PF speculation. </a>

Jonathan Moyo Claims The Army Has Dumped ED

After a 10 day diplomatic visit to Zimbabwe, a UN official has said targeted sanctions must be removed as they harm the ordinary Zimbabwean and not the intended target Sunday Mail reports.
UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Ms Hilal Elver in her preliminary report after her visit said:
<blockquote>I am also concerned about the negative impact of the economic sanctions and conditionalities imposed on the Government of Zimbabwe and their indirect costs on the overall civilian population, particularly on the right to food.
Zimbabwe has been under some form of sanctions since 2001. These targeted sanctions and conditionalities were imposed on the country following policy disagreements concerning the manner in which the land reform programme was handled, reflecting criticism of the political situation and human rights abuses.
It is my strong conviction, based on what I have learned during the course of this mission, that these economic sanctions worsen the existing inequalities and do not have any actual impact on their supposed targets</blockquote>
Ms Elver is expected to present her full report in March in Geneva. Ms Elver’s visit came a <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/10/23/picture-anti-sanctions-day-program/">few weeks after the govt held an anti-sanctions day on 25 October 2019. </a>

Samson Murombo, a lieutenant colonel in the Presidential Guard (PG), who was the commanding officer at State House, was last week transferred ‘‘to the pool’’ at the Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA)’s headquarters, now known as Josiah Magama Barracks following <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/11/20/a-presidential-guard-soldier-emptied-his-magazine-firing-in-the-air-at-the-state-house-this-morning-jonathan-moyo-claims/">the shooting that took place at the State House</a>.
Speaking to the Daily News, unnamed sources said that there was no way Murombo could have retained his position considering that he previously clashed with First Lady, Auxillia Mnangagwa who accused him of spying on her. One of the sources said:
<blockquote>He (Murombo) was indeed the commander (when last week’s shooting incident happened) and should have been more vigilant … but he slept on the job by keeping a mentally ill person to guard State House.
In the process, he compromised the security of the president and as such he has had to be removed from there.</blockquote>
Murombo has been replaced by Major Regis Mangezi, a few days after former Cabinet minister and respected war veteran, Tshinga Dube, had questioned why the government had up to this day not established who was behind the Bulawayo assassination attempt.
Mnangagwa’s security concerns have been growing with reports that factionalism was taking shape in the ruling party.

Army Boss Replaced After "Keeping A Mentally Ill Person To Guard State House"

President Emmerson Mnangagwa is reportedly planning to make changes in the Zimbabwe Republic Police, a development which is likely to see Commissioner-General, Godwin Matanga, replaced by the current Deputy Commissioners-General, Stephen Mutamba, Mind Elliot Ngirandi, Learn Ncube and Lorraine Chipato.
Sources privy to the information told Zimbabwe Independent that the “imminent” major restructuring exercise is meant to consolidate Mnangagwa’s grip on power. One unnamed senior government official said:
<blockquote>Changes are looming in the police. On paper, they are meant to improve the efficiency and operations of the police. But in real terms, these changes must be seen in the broader context of the ongoing changes Mnangagwa has been introducing in the security sector as he consolidates his grip while weakening his ambitious deputy’s influence. The President wants trusted lieutenants in key positions.</blockquote>
This comes after Mnangagwa recently reshuffled cabinet, a move that was also viewed as a way of cementing his grip on power and an ethnic balancing act.
Since coming to power in 2017, Mnangagwa has made a raft of changes in the security sector by replacing officers appointed by his predecessor, Robert Mugabe, by his trusted lieutenants.

"Matanga's Career In Limbo As Changes Loom In The Police," Report

<blockquote>
<h2>Press Statement:</h2>
<h3>ZW$100 million, Training Fellowship for Junior and Senior Resident Medical Officers employed at Public Healthcare institutions of Zimbabwe.</h3>
Building on a 23-year commitment to education, Higherlife Foundation (HLF) is pleased to announce the launch of a new training fellowship for Junior and Senior Resident Officers employed at public healthcare institutions in Zimbabwe.
Since its inception in 1996, the Foundation has supported the education of over 250,000 students across Zimbabwe, Burundi, and Lesotho through its flagship education initiatives: the Capernaum and Joshua Nkomo Scholarship programs.
The Capernaum Scholarship has been running for the last 23 years and provides tuition to orphaned and vulnerable children from early childhood to tertiary education. The Joshua Nkomo Scholarship (JNS) was established in 2006 and awards scholarships to highly talented Zimbabwean students through a rigorous selection process, creating opportunities for them to study at local and overseas learning institutions.
Through these scholarships, HLF has seen many young women and men graduate as medical doctors who have provided healthcare services to our nation. In order for our healthcare system to continue having this continuous in-flow of doctors, it is important for Junior and Senior Resident Officers to complete their training within the designated time period.
With that in mind, HLF is launching, the medical training completion fellowship with immediate effect for those Junior and Senior Resident Officers who are in full time employment at public teaching hospitals within Zimbabwe. The scholarship covers those who are currently undergoing a Junior or Senior Resident program, with special preference being given to beneficiaries of the Capernaum and Joshua Nkomo scholarships.
The ZW$100 million Fellowship wiII last for the duration of 6 months, with funding contingent upon fellows remaining enrolled in their programs for that period and satisfying all requirements:
Al. Joshua Nkomo and Capernaum Scholarship Alumni practicing medicine in Zimbabwe public health institutions in the following roles:
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li>Junior Resident Medical Officer</li>
<li>Senior Resident Medical Officer</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
A2. Non Joshua Nkomo or Capernaum Scholarship Alumni practicing medicine in Zimbabwe public health institutions in the following roles:
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li>Junior Resident Medical Officer</li>
<li>Senior Resident Medical Officer</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
• All will be considered upon submission of an application to Higher,* Foundation
The ZW$100 million fellowship comprises:
A non-negotiable monthly subsistence allowance of ZW$5,000 (Five Thousand Zimbabwean Dollars) per doctor for a maximum of 2000 doctors. This amount will be disbursed monthly, and is subject to unilateral review by HLF.
a) The monthly subsistence will be disbursed to qualifying Junior and Senior Resident Officers on proof of being on duty at the specified institution for the duration of the month
b) HLF will provide a smartphone as a tool of trade
c) A VAYA carpool voucher to access the hospital, at a maximum of 3 trips per day
d) Access to a ZW$10 million (Ten Million Zimbabwe Dollars) portion of this fund for stethoscopes, patella hammers, uniforms and other diagnostic aids.
e) Higherlife Foundation will also undertake to provide WIFI at the major teaching hospitals in Zimbabwe.
This Fellowship opportunity has been shared with Joshua Nkomo, Capernaum, Junior and Senior Resident Officer Representatives and the Ministry of Health leadership.
Please note that this initiative is not from Econet Wireless Zimbabwe, or Cassava Smartech Zimbabwe.
Neither of these public listed companies’ management and boards were consulted on this matter.
It has nothing to do with them.
Higher Life Foundation is an initiative of the Masiyiwa Family Foundation. The support for this initiative will come from the family and its donor partners. Other members of the Zimbabwean corporate and donor community are welcome to approach HLF with a view to helping.
For the avoidance of doubt this initiative was not developed in consultation with potential beneficiaries or their employer. It is a unilateral initiative of HLF as are all our initiatives.
Interested applicants can obtain the application form from the nearest Higher Foundation office. Higherlife Foundation offices are found in: Bulawayo, Chinhoyi, Gweru, Harare, Masvingo, and Mutare.</blockquote>

FULL STATEMENT: Offer By Strive Masiyiwa's To Help Pay Doctor Salaries

Zimbabwe will have a new parliament building soon to replace the current one. The new parliament is being built by the Chinese as a donation and is located in the area called Mt Hampden which is just outside the capital city of Harare.
The country’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa toured the building which is near completion. Here are some pictures from the tour.
Some reports have suggested that The New Parliament Building is the largest individual Chinese funded project in Africa and that it’s larger than the African Union HQ.

PICTURES & VIDEO: New Chinese Built Parliament In Zimbabwe

President Emmerson Mnangagwa said today that he was not consulted first before the Minister of Finance Mthuli Ncube decided to <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/govt-to-scrap-subsidies-on-maize-wheat-prices-expected-to-run-away/">remove the subsidy on maize and wheat</a>.
Speaking at a Zanu PF Youth Interface rally in Kadoma, the president said:
<blockquote>We must create safety nets to help the poor amoung us. The day before yesterday, I heard that the subsidy on grains was removed. I reject that. I want to say it here that I reject it move because mealie meal is a basic commodity for the masses. We cannot remove the subsidy. So I am putting that subsidy back, so that the price comes down. So they will publish it tomorrow and they’ll have to admit that they had not consulted me first.</blockquote>
https://twitter.com/InfoMinZW/status/1199736742091341826
The president has been accused of pretending he didn’t know about the move before it was announced. Some notable Zimbabweans have likened the president’s to what they said are insincere methods used by late President Robert Mugabe’s government to reverse unpopular policy pronouncements.

Senior Herald editor, Caesar Zvayi has left the Zimbabwe Newspaper Group (Zimpapers), 11 months after he was removed as editor of the state-run paper. Speaking to Zim Live, Zvayi confirmed his departure saying:
<blockquote>I’m going home. I’ll probably try something different, perhaps return to academia as well, but we’ll see.</blockquote>
Zvayi’s Timeline:
<ul>
<li>He joined The Herald in November 2004 but left in July 2008 to be a lecturer in Gaborone, Botswana.</li>
<li>At the USA’s instigation, Ian Khama ordered his deportation since he was viewed as a government agent.</li>

<li>Removed when Information Minister, Monica Mutsvangwa was put in charge of the Ministry in 2018, assumably for covering a story on rape charges against Mutsvangwa’s son, Neville.</li>
<li>Joram Nyathi took over from him in December last year but was sacked barely a month later for alleged “poor editorial judgment” after failing to put President Mnangagwa’s picture on the front page after he returned from a foreign trip.</li>
<li>Nyathi’s deputy, Tichaona Zindoga, took over on an acting basis but was fired last month for allegedly travelling to South Africa for a meeting with the exiled former Cabinet minister Saviour Kasukuwere.</li>

"I’m Going Home," Herald Editor At Large, Caesar Zvayi, Quits

The Meteorological Services Department of Zimbabwe has warned members of the public of impending violent storms amidst reports that at least 19 people have since been killed by lightning and hailstorms.
Violent storms which hit several parts of the country last week left a trail of destruction with some infrastructure left in an uninhabitable state.
This was confirmed by the Deputy Director at the Civil Protection Unit (CPU), Sibusisiwe Ndlovu who told the Daily News on Monday that in addition to 19 people killed so far, 41 others had been seriously injured, while at least 543 homesteads had been damaged.
Ndlovu also revealed that six health institutions, 59 schools and four government buildings had been damaged by storms throughout the country.
The Met department expects heavy rain especially in Manicaland, Matabeleland South, Masvingo and the southern parts of the Midlands.

Met Department Warns Of Violent Storms As 19 People Have Since Been Killed

Senior officials of MDC have said that they do not want another military coup in Zimbabwe. Since the <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/11/23/pictures-chiwenga-returns-to-zimbabwe-welcomed-by-chinese/">return of Vice President Constantino Chiwenga</a> from China on Saturday morning, there has been speculation that the opposition is keen for him to lead another coup.
Presidential Advisory Council member, Trevor Ncube claimed the MDC is praying for another coup:
<blockquote>So G40 chaps are praying Vice -President Chiwenga carries out a hard coup against President Mnangagwa. MDC are praying for same. Certain ZANU-PF elements hoping for same. Civil war once set in motion is irreversible. We are messed up. We need Peace Makers! 
#ZimbabweFirst</blockquote>
But top MDC official, Fadzayi Mahere and David Coltart rejected the claims:
<blockquote>I can assure you that the <a class="link-complex" href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23MDC" rel="hashtag noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MDC</a> is not praying for Chiwenga to carry out a coup against Mnangagwa. That will only perpetuate illegality &amp; violence. Our prayer is for a return to respect for constitutionalism and the rule of law. Chiwenga &amp; the military are incapable of doing that. – <a href="https://twitter.com/DavidColtart/status/1198471072208891907">David Coltart</a></blockquote>
 
<blockquote>We don’t want another coup. We want political reforms and respect for constitutionalism. Open up freedoms. Depoliticize state institutions &amp; the media. Align laws to the Constitution. Stop weaponizing food aid. End the violence. Don’t demonize opponents. The system must change. – <a href="https://twitter.com/advocatemahere/status/1198543838589177856">Fadzayi Mahere</a></blockquote>
Professor Jonathan Moyo, who was known to be one of the leaders of the G4 Faction before the November 2017 military coup <a href="https://twitter.com/ProfJNMoyo/status/1198554171634540545">also disagreed with Ncube</a>:
<blockquote>Having a Chiwenga coup would be like moving from the frying pan to the fire!</blockquote>

We Don't Want A Chiwenga Coup - MDC

Prominent human rights lawyer <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Doug_Coltart">Doug Coltart</a> was reportedly assaulted by the police yesterday when visited his client, Artuz leader Obert Masaraure at the police holding cells. The Amalgamated Rural Teachers Union of Zimbabwe leader, Masaraure had been <a href="https://twitter.com/Cde_Ostallos/status/1198219333446651904">arrested on charges of disorderly conduct</a>.
According to Masaraure, <a href="https://twitter.com/OMasaraure/status/1198443443590221824">Coltart had brought him food</a> at the police holding cells when he was assaulted. Masaraure has since been released.
Coltart’s father, former government minister and MDC official David Coltart <a href="https://twitter.com/DavidColtart/status/1198470033200099329">confirmed the assault</a> on Twitter Sunday morning:
<blockquote>I confirm that my son <a class="css-4rbku5 css-18t94o4 css-901oao css-16my406 r-1n1174f r-1loqt21 r-1qd0xha r-ad9z0x r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0" data-focusable="true" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/DougColtart" role="link">@DougColtart</a> was brutally assaulted yesterday by police .

Human Rights Lawyer Doug Coltart Assaulted By Police While Representing Arrested Activist Masaraure

Zimbabwe’s president Emmerson Mnangagwa has said that he arranged VP Chiwenga’s hospitalisation in China directly with China’s President Xi Jinping. Mnangagwa revealed this to journalists after meeting <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/11/23/watch-ed-visits-chiwenga-at-his-borrowdale-home/">Chiwenga’s at his home yesterday</a>.
Said Mnangagwa:
<blockquote>I am confident that now the whole of Zimbabwe knows that the Vice-President is back and fit, and he is very clear and raring to go.
I am also very grateful to my brother, the President of the People’s Republic of China whom I talked to and he said he will do his best and instruct his system to do their best to look after your Vice-President, and that has been done.</blockquote>
Chiwenga was hospitalised for 4 months. It’s unclear if the VP will return to work immediately. There has however been speculation that he returned in time to <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/11/23/chiwenga-back-zanu-pf-conference/">attend the Zanu PF annual conference in Goromonzi in December</a>.

"A lizard is not a crocodile!" Reactions To Chiwenga's Return

The resident of Bulawayo have questioned the leaving out of iconic figures like the late <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Dumiso_Dabengwa">Dumiso Dabengwa</a> and <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Thenjiwe_Lesabe">Thenjiwe Lesabe</a> from the street naming done earlier this week.
In an interview with the Chronicle, historian, Pathisa Nyathi said that the government should have consulted with the people first before renaming streets.
Said Nyathi:
<blockquote>The name that keeps popping up is that of Dabengwa. They are saying: ‘ungaphi uDumiso Dabengwa?’ Some are also saying: ‘ungaphi u Thenjiwe Lesabe?</blockquote>
Government renamed several roads and buildings after Zimbabwe liberation war fighters and other iconic figures in Zimbabwe and Russian history. The government has been criticised for naming a total of 8 roads after the current president Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa.

'Ungaphi uDumiso Dabengwa? Ungaphi uThenjiwe Lesabe?' Bulawayo Residents Question Street Naming

Zimbabwe Republic Police, in the video below, ask MDC supporters to get inside Morgan Tsvangirai House, party Headquarters, before violently dispersing them.
The police said that the MDC was not prohibited from conducting its business but it was to be done inside the party building.
Speaking to Nkululeko Sibanda who is the spokesperson of MDC leader, Nelson Chamisa, the police said that they just did not like “toi toi” on the road as it was “disturbing” others.
MDC supporters had gathered for Chamisa’s Hope Of The Nation Address which he said was aimed at giving hope to Zimbabweans who are currently faint-hearted due to the deteriorating state of affairs.
The police had earlier <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/11/19/police-block-chamisas-wednesday-africa-unity-square-hope-for-the-nation-address/">blocked the MDC from holding the event at the Africa Unity Square</a> saying it was likely to degenerate into chaos.
They rather “agreed” with the MDC that the event should be shifted to the Harare Showgrounds for the same event, <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/11/20/mdc-on-its-own-accord-cancelled-chamisas-hope-of-the-nation-address-police/">but the MDC would “on its own accord” cancel the meeting.</a>
The party then held the same intended meeting at its headquarters where a number of people, including senior citizens, were beaten and injured by police.

ZRP: "We Just Don't Want Toi Toi On The Road," Before Violently Dispersing "Defiant" MDC Supporters

The expected imminent return of Vice President, Constantino Chiwenga from China where he has been receiving medical attention for the past four months has reportedly increased tensions among ZANU PF members.
This happens when the ruling party is about to host its annual conference scheduled for Goromonzi from December 11 to 16.
An unnamed ZANU PF official who spoke to Zimbabwe Independent said that the conference was an opportunity for Chiwenga who is aware of a plot to replace him on health grounds intends to reassert his influence in the party. The source said:
<blockquote>The conference will be the ideal stage for Chiwenga to uplift his loyalists in the party, and show that his faction can still mount a significant challenge in the broader context of his political ambitions. 
This would be important for him to do because there were real fears among his sympathisers that due to ill-health, he may not be able to push ahead with his agenda.</blockquote>
The ruling party is reportedly marred by factionalism with members divided between President Emmerson Mnangagwa and his deputy, Chiwenga.
There are also reports suggesting that there are some remnants of Generation 40 (G40) who <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/11/01/were-hunting-with-dogs-that-arent-ours-as-plot-to-oust-ed-thickens/">are calling for the return of exiled G40 kingpins to take over the party.</a>

Tension Rising In ZANU PF Amidst Chiwenga's "Imminent" Return Reports

The leader of the opposition MDC, Nelson Chamisa has said that the state was actually banning MDC as a party under the guise of banning its meetings.
Through his spokesperson, Nkululeko Sibanda, the youthful leader said that the state should be clear so that the party employs tactics that are suitable for a banned party.
Speaking after state police violently dispersed MDC supporters who had gathered at Morgan Tsvangirai House, formerly Harvest House, where Chamisa was delivering his Hope of the Nation Address on Wednesday, Sibanda said:
<blockquote>MDC president chamisa said the same thing, if this government wants to ban the MDC they should say so instead of going around acting like they simply banning the meetings.
If the MDC is banned we will operate in this country as a banned organisation, using the tactics and methods of a banned organisation.</blockquote>
The state has been blocking MDC demonstrations lately saying that the police had gathered “concrete evidence” to suggest that the demonstrations were going to degenerate into chaos thereby putting national peace and security in jeopardy.
The MDC intended to conduct a spate of protests, nationwide, over the deteriorating state of affairs.

9 Roads Renamed After President ED Mnangagwa

The Cabinet has removed duty on a number of basic commodities to head-off the effects the El Nino induced drought.
This was announced by the Acting Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Mangaliso Ndlovu while presenting the 41st Cabinet decisions matrix in Harare yesterday. Ndlovu said:
<blockquote>Cabinet noted the need to ensure the continued availability of essential foodstuffs in the market and to counter the effects of the drought that was experienced during the 2018/19 agricultural season.
Accordingly, Cabinet has resolved to implement the following temporary measures: removal of control of goods import permits for maize grain, maize meal and wheat flour, with immediate effect; placement of wheat flour on the Open General Import Licence (OGIL) with immediate effect.</blockquote>
Other products that have been exempted include:
<ul>
<li>wheat flour in packages of more than 50kg</li>
<li>Maize meal.</li>
</ul>
This comes when Zimbabwe is facing severe starvation due to drought, Cyclone Idai and the deteriorating economy.

Cabinet Removes Duty On Basic Commodities "With Immediate Effect"

Elixed former Cabinet Minister, Professor Jonathan Moyo has claimed that MDC supporters were on Wednesday violently dispersed by a combined police, army and CIO team.
<a href="https://twitter.com/ProfJNMoyo/status/1197620645313552392">Posting on Twitter, Moyo</a> said:
<blockquote>The Police Support Unit is currently conducting <a class="link-complex" href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23CrowdControl" rel="hashtag noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CrowdControl</a> training at 2 Brigade, Cranbone, bringing together the Army, Police &amp; CIO. The vicious “cops” that unleashed yesterday’s gratuitous violence on MDC supporters, bystanders &amp; passersbys came from the 2 Brigade Unit!

Moyo’s theory concurrs with that of Team Pachedu who suggested that the sjamboks which were used to beat protesters are used by soldiers and not the police.
