<p>A Chipinge man who fell off his motorbike on Friday last week after witnessing a strange sight of an unidentified flying object in the area has narrated how he got injured and the strange sight he witnessed.</p>
<p>According to ZBC 47-year-old Richman Myambo, narrated the incident from Chipinge District Hospital on Saturday and said:</p>
<blockquote><p>I was travelling home on my motorbike at around 9am when I witnessed a strange light travelling in the sky. I tried to concentrate on riding, but what made me fall was the sound that followed after the light. I then fell on the bike due to panic. I thought I was dying</p>
<p>I was 100% sober, but I was so confused because I thought I had encountered those strange things people see in dark and thick forests. The object looked like a rocket with fire on its back.</p></blockquote>
<p>The incident has over the last few days set the rumour mill into overdrive as different people have different versions of what might have transpired in Chipinge.</p>
<p>The Meteorology Services Department of Zimbabwe has confirmed receiving reports of the UFO but they have not yet release a statement on the matter.</p>

Chipinge Man Injured During Encounter With UFO Narrate His Story

<p>The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) has announced the resumption of some electoral activities following the relaxation of the level 4 COVID-19 lockdown by President Emmerson Mnangagwa early this month.</p>
<p>In a statement this Tuesday, ZEC Chief Elections Officer Utoile Silaigwana said the electoral boy has lifted the suspension of voter registration and some field work it announced in January with effect from 1 April 2021.</p>
<p>However, the holding by-elections remain suspended due to the danger still posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Silaigwana said. Below is the statement in full:</p>
<blockquote><p>The Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) would like to announce that following the relaxation of lockdown measures of Statutory Instrument 10 of 2021 on 01 March 2021, the Commission will lift the suspension of voter registration and some field work it announced on 08 January 2021. The resumption of those suspended activities will come into effect on 01 April 2021.</p>
<p>However, in view of the danger still posed by the Covid-19 pandemic and the need to uphold some health provisions of Statutory Instrument 10 of 2021 which are still in force, the conduct of by-elections remains suspended. This position will be reviewed in due course and stakeholders will be advised accordingly.</p>
<p>The Commission is advising all citizens who qualify to register as voters and those wishing to transfer their registrations to visit voter registration centres at ZEC provincial and district centres.</p>
<p>Everyone involved in those electoral activities should strictly observe the Ministry of Health Covid-19 health measures and the Commission’s Covid-19 Policy on Electoral Activities.</p></blockquote>


ZEC Resumes Electoral Activities... But By-elections Remain Suspended

<p>People who had COVID-19 before are vaccinated once, a senior official in the Ministry of Health and Child Care has said.</p>
<p>Chief director curative services in the Ministry, Dr Maxwell Mareza Hove said the body of a person who has had COVID-19 has been put on alert by the natural infection and if they are not sick and are asymptomatic, they get a single jab which acts as as a second dose. Dr Hove said:</p>
<blockquote><p>By vaccinating we are trying to sensitise the body to get alert that there is COVID-19 disease so it produces a certain type of antibodies.</p>
<p>For those who have already had the disease, the body has been put on alert by the natural infection and if they are not sick and are asymptomatic, we can give them but as a second dose because they are already sensitised by the previous infection.</p>
<p>If the person is stable we give the vaccine as a booster so that the immune system is stronger.</p></blockquote>
<p>Dr Hove also urged citizens to open up about their conditions to health staff so that it can be ascertained if they are ready to be vaccinated against the coronavirus. He said:</p>
<blockquote><p>Those above 60 years are also being vaccinated but after the screening, because the elderly tend to have other conditions like diabetes, hypertension or respiratory problems.</p>
<p>When they are not stable or blood sugar is out of control we wait until they have been cleared by their doctor.</p>
<p>HIV is equally a chronic disease. If the viral load is low and they are taking their medication with no sickness, they get vaccinated but if the viral loads are still high we wait until that is controlled.</p></blockquote>

'People Who Had COVID-19 Before Are Vaccinated Once'

<p>The family of the 7-year-old boy who was gruesomely murdered in Murewa in September last year has said it will have to limit the number of mourners at the boy’s burial this Saturday in line with COVID-19 protocols.</p>
<p>Tapiwa Makore was murdered by his uncle and namesake Tapiwa Makore (Snr) with the assistance of his herdboy Tafadzwa Shamba for alleged ritual purposes.</p>
<p>Makore (Snr) and Shamba were arrested for the murder and are languishing in prison.</p>
<p>The burial of the boy is likely to attract scores, if not hundreds of mourners, among them villagers and sympathisers.</p>
<p>Tapiwa’s father, Munyaradzi, on Monday told <em>NewsDay</em> that his son’s remains would be collected from Harare on Friday before burial the following morning.</p>
<p>However, Tapiwa’s body will be buried with some of his body parts missing, including the head which could not be found.</p>
<p>Family spokesperson Beaulah Musupayi said they would ensure that all COVID-19 protocols are observed during the burial.</p>
<p>She said the family will try by all means to minimise the number of mourners and they have already secured sanitisers and will make sure that social distancing will be followed.</p>
<p>Burial will begin at 11 AM on Saturday.</p>

Makore Family To Limit Mourners At Tapiwa's Burial

<p>Combined Harare Resident Association (CHRA) has urged the government and the City of Harare to end the capital’s water crisis as in their statement commemoration World Water Day. In the statement, CHRA said some suburbs like Tafara have gone for 2 decades without water and Harare has to find a way to end the crisis:</p>
<blockquote>
<div class="kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q">
<div dir="auto">CHRA STATEMENT ON WORLD WATER DAY</div>
</div>
<div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q">
<div dir="auto">CHRA joins the world today in commemorating World Water Day under the theme valuing water. The theme comes at a time when water has become a scarce resource in Harare.</div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">Harare City Council failed to produce adequate clean and safe water for Harare residents. In suburbs such as Tafara Ward 46, the area has more than 20 years without a single drop of water.</div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
</div>
<div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q">
<div dir="auto">Apparently the city council is producing 440megalitres per day against a demand of 1200mega megaliters. In Harare 60% of treated water is being lost through water bursts and the responsiveness of council to such has not been good enough to preserve water as a valuable resource.</div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">The shortage of this valuable resource has affected the productive time of women and young girls mostly as they are caregivers of the society.</div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">In most cases they spent more than three hours at communal boreholes in an effort to access water. This has exposed them to all forms of abuse and harassment by water barons.</div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">Water is the life blood of our economy and it is needed for life to exist. The shortage of water has crippled production of goods and services as it is essential.</div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
</div>
<div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q">
<div dir="auto">CHRA will continue to call upon the government and the local authority to work together to end the water crisis through investing more resources to improve the water sources.</div>

<p>President Emmerson Mnangagwa will officially launch the Second Phase of the COVID-19 Vaccination Programme this week, Wednesday, 24th March 2021, in Victoria Falls.</p>
<p>In a statement late on Sunday, Acting President Constantino Chiwenga said President Mnangagwa will receive his first jab of the Chinese-developed Sinovac coronavirus vaccine.</p>
<p>Mnangagwa will be accompanied by members of the Political Actors Dialogue (POLAD) who will also receive their first jabs on the same occasion on the same day. Said Chiwenga:</p>
<blockquote><p>At that high profile event, Government will also commence an embracing Covid-19 vaccination roll-out campaign which will afford all residents of the City an opportunity to get vaccinated.</p>
<p>This vaccination exercise will pave way for the resumption of unlimited tourism activities in the City which is a world attraction.</p>
<p>Already, Government has announced a vaccination programme for teachers and other personnel in the educational sector in the wake of the resumption of normal teaching programmes in schools and colleges.</p>
<p>Overall, Government targets the vaccination of 60 per cent of the population in order to achieve herd immunity.</p></blockquote>

ZRP Arrest 9 MDC Alliance Members For Holding A Meeting In Chivi On 11 March

<p>proZimbabwe Anti Corruption Commission has reportedly set its sights on properties owned by different urban council executives and these executives risk losing their properties if they are found to have been bought through graft, The Standard reports.</p>
<p>This was revealed by the ZACC Spokesperson John Makamure who said they already have 9 active cases so far:</p>
<blockquote><p>…Currently we are seized with nine active cases. Councils involved  include the City of Harare, City of Mutare, City of Gweru, Chiredzi Town Council and Victoria Falls Town Council, just but to mention a few.</p>
<p>In some instances, council employees steal council stands without following procedure and pocket the proceeds. Some council employees connive with bogus housing co-operatives and illegally sell stands to people</p>
<p>There is no actual value of properties involved as evaluations are to be finalised for some of the properties, but the estimated value of the properties is US$4 million. It involves senior management and officers of the local authorities</p>
<p>Some were commercial stands and wetlands that have been illegally converted to residential stands. some are residential areas that are turned to commercial stands.</p>
<p>The properties are acquired through proceeds of crime as the council officials are given kick-backs after fraudulently disposing council land using estate agents and cooperatives</p></blockquote>
<p>Over the last few months, the government has intensified its fight against corruption in urban councils. Demolitions of structures built on land otherwise meant for other projects or on wetlands are supposed to be done.</p>
<p>Land barons have been arrested or investigated in some cases. This has reportedly led to the poisoning of Harare Development Director Tafadzwa Muguti who reportedly ruffled a <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/03/11/zanu-pf-affiliated-land-barons-allegedly-poisoned-harare-development-coordinator-tafadzwa-muguti-report/">few Zanu PF land barons furthers</a> as he was trying to rid the city of Land Barons.</p>

<p>Zimbabweans desperate to have passports are reportedly ignoring some COVID-19 regulations like social distancing and curfew as they are said to be sleeping at the passport offices in Harare hoping to be among the 100 people that will be attended to per any given period, The Sunday Mail reports.</p>
<p>Hordes of people are reportedly sleeping outside the passport offices ever since it was announced that the Registrar’s office will start issuing IDs, some passports and birth certificates.</p>
<p>The publication saw scores of people queuing at the offices as early as 6 am and some were said to have slept at the offices for them to be able to apply for their passports.</p>
<p>When contacted for comment, acting Registrar General Henry Machiri said the office is not fully functional due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic:</p>
<blockquote><p>With regards to your observation in which you highlighted that those seeking passports are not observing social-distancing measures, I have taken note of that and will act accordingly. As you might be aware, we are not 100 percent open. We are, however, working within the Covid-19 regulations.</p>
<p>We currently have only 40 percent of our staff. As such, our output is governed by the number of workers that we have. The sad thing is that the high number of people that are coming to our offices are responding to a fake social media posting.</p></blockquote>
<p>Last week a social media report circulated that <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/03/13/its-fake-govt-dismisses-passport-collection-social-media-report/">passports submitted before February 2019</a> were ready for collection reports that were dismissed by the government.</p>

Passport Scarcity Force Zimbos To Camp Overnight At Passport Offices

<p>Reckless drivers and other drivers who violate road regulations will lose their licenses under the new law to be gazetted by the government, The Sunday Mail reports. The government is going to introduce a driver’s licence penalty points system that will see reckless drivers lose their licenses if they engage in reckless driving. The move is aimed at encouraging drivers to be cautious on the road and not endanger other motorists on the road due to reckless driving.</p>
<p>This was revealed by Transport and Infrastructural Development Secretary Engineer Theodius Chinyanga who told the publication hoe the system will work and said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">The system will start working when we have set up an electronic database that allows police to dock points for road regulation infractions because it is the police and not the Ministry that will be responsible for implementing the new system.</span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">Each offence will be allocated a certain amount of points and after a driver reaches a defined number of points, then their licence will be suspended.</span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">For example, we can allocate three points for passing through a red robot or a parking offence.</span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">In cases where there is an accident, if it is concluded that a certain driver was responsible for causing the accident due to reckessness then a certain number of points will be allocated to them.</span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">These points are then added together over a defined period of time; it could be after a year or five years and if you have reached a certain threshold then your licence will be suspended.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Chinyanga said the government has imported 10 scanners to help the government through the transition phase from a manual to a digital database:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">However, the Ministry has received 10 scanners that were imported to enable the capturing of the driver details from the manual database to the electronic database being created at Central Vehicle Registry.</span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">Once the process of capturing is done and data integrated with other road related information/data, the law enforcement included, the system can then be piloted.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p>A similar system is used in the UK and other western countries.</p>

Govt To Introduce Driver’s License Penalty Points System To Penalise Reckless Drivers

<p>Jeka or Tandavarai bridge which is along the Mwenezi river in Mberengwa was swept away by Cyclone Dineo-induced floods in 2017 and since then, residents have had a difficult time using the bridge during rainy seasons.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Back then, the government announced that US$7 million had been mobilised for the purposes of rehabilitating the bridge but the structure in place at the moment does not suggest the money that was allegedly poured into the project.</p>

<p>Despite the scary appearance, cars and buses can now cross over the Jeka bridge. Its durability is, however, not known. Authorities say it is a make-shift bridge.</p>
<p>The bridge links Mberengwa West, a constituency represented by the former Transport Minister, Joram Gumbo, and Mberengwa North represented by Tafanana Zhou.</p>
<p>Those in Mberengwa North would want to use the bridge to access Jeka business centre where Jeka Rural Hospital is situated while those in Mberengwa West would want to have access such as schools and Irrigation Schemes.</p>

<p class="p3"><span class="s2">Mr. Aldermen Edward Matsilele’s remarks come as the government has earmarked the area for lucerne grass project by Dendairy, one of the biggest dairies in the country. Said Mr. Matsilele:</span></p>

Chilonga Evictions: No One Will Be Displaced - Chiredzi RDC Chair

<p>The Sunday Mail has reported that some unidentified people from South Africa gave some money to Chilonga villagers in Chiredzi to persuade them to resist the government-planned eviction that is meant to pave way for a lucerne grass project by Dendairy.</p>
<p>The state-run publication reports that h<span class="s2">eadman Mashanyele said even the visit by some MDC Alliance officials including former Finance Minister Tendai Biti was meant to influence the residents. Mashanyele allegedly said:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">I told my people not to entertain these people because we knew they had their own agendas.</span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">After the visit by opposition party leaders, who had never been to our area before, we knew that there was a nefarious agenda behind the uproar.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">Several stakeholders have spoken against the eviction of Chilonga people from their ancestral lands.</span></p>
<p>The evictions were described by human rights defenders as a violation of both domestic and international human rights laws.</p>
<p>Responding to reports that unidentified people from South Africa had descended on Chilonga and influenced the local residents to resist the government’s plans, some social media users said the government was hiding behind the finger.</p>

Joshua Nkomo's Son Nominated To Become New ZAPU President

<p>Zimbabwe is reportedly using outdated, dangerous aviation technology which was supposed to have been urgently replaced 9 years ago according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe (CAAZ)’s recommendations, The NewsHawks reports.</p>
<p>According to the publication, obsolete technology constantly breaks down and renders Zimbabwean airspace insecure<br/>
and risky.</p>
<p>The publication further alleges that the government’s inability to replace the technology has been caused by disputes between the Zimbabwean military and CAAZ over the installation and management of the radar control system as the army cites national security to take over the process.</p>
<p>Sources told the investigative journalists that the squabbles between the army and CAAZ are stemming from the fact that the radar costs $22 million but some officials want the cost of securing the radar to be pushed to $30 million so that they can get bribes and cuts from the deal and the squabbles have generated many problems than solutions.</p>
<p>When acting Airports Company of Zimbabwe (ACZ) CEO Tawanda Gusha was contacted to comment on the radar control system he said there were no plans in place to buy a new radar right now:</p>
<blockquote><p>It is not yet in place. Caaz is still working on finding a solution, it is a work in progress</p></blockquote>

Corruption The Reason Why Zimbabwe Is Still Using Dangerous Outdated Radar Control System 9 Years Later - Report

<p>According to The NewsHawks, former President Robert Mugabe’s daughter Bona and Simba Chikore’s mansion is yet to be completed. The couple is <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/03/20/bona-and-simba-chikore-struggle-to-complete-vast-harare-mansion-report/">reportedly having a hard time completing</a> the vast mansion which reportedly has the following peculiar details:</p>
<ol>
<li>It sits on 22 hectares (land slightly bigger than Harare Gardens) of land in Harare where all land is regarded by land developers as prime land.</li>
<li>The house’s floor area is about 7 800 square metres and it is made up of, a basement which is 1 200 square metres,  ground floor (3 000 square metres); first floor (3 000 square metres); and a sundeck which is 600 square metres.</li>
<li>It has 25 rooms</li>
<li>The house is expected to cost a staggering $39 Million</li>
<li>The house’s basement has nine rooms, including an apartment, while the ground floor has eight rooms and the first floor has another eight rooms</li>
<li>It reportedly has a sundeck or upper terrace for sunning and relaxing offers a stunning view of the mountains and surrounding areas.</li>
<li>Architects and quantity surveyors in Harare showed that given the steep slopes of the mountain where the house is built, the cost of construction is about US$2 500 per square metre.</li>

LIST: 7 Peculiar Details Of Bona And Simba Chikore's Vast Mansion

<p>Former President Robert Mugabe’s daughter Bona and Simba Chikore her husband are reportedly struggling to complete the mansion they were building in Harare’s Umwinsidale Suburb, The NewsHawks exclusively revealed.</p>
<p>A well placed source from the Mugabe family reportedly told the publication that the mansion sits on 22 hectares of land is expected to gobble US$20 million for it to be completed:</p>
<blockquote><p>At the moment the total cost of the house is expected to be at least US$20 million. This is because the owners of the property are now struggling to finish the house, which at the beginning was supposed to cost US$39 million.</p></blockquote>
<p>President Mugabe was reportedly financing the project for Bona and Simba Chikore before his infamous ouster by his trusted lieutenants in 2017:</p>
<blockquote><p>..The late former president was financing the project. Remember he gave Bona and Simba his historic Mount Pleasant house during their wedding, but after that they asked him to build a house of their choice and dreams. Mugabe said he would fund the project; he paid for everything before he died. Simba and Bona are now struggling to complete it. It’s a huge project; they need millions of US dollars to finish it.</p></blockquote>
<p>According to the publication, another source told them about some of the expenses that have to be scared at the property for it to be complete:</p>
<blockquote><p>The price would have been much higher if they still had money because in an elevated mountain area like that it might have cost up to US$5 000 per square metre to build, but that has now been contained at US$2 500 per square metre.</p>
<p>So when you add land, construction, design and landscaping costs, at a minimum square metre charge of US$2 500 it becomes US$20 million, but if you take a maximalist approach it will be US$39 million.</p>
<p>This includes the cost of paying the whole project team; the architect (team leader), structural engineer, civil engineer, mechanical engineer and electrical engineer.</p>
<p>These days there is also the environmental engineer. While professional architects usually charge 7% of the project cost, the engineers charge 3.5%. These are the professional rates but, of course, people always negotiate.</p>
<p>Besides all that, there will also be a road which will stretch for a kilometre inside the property given its magnitude and that will cost up to US$1.5 million on its own. Building a kilometre of a proper tarred road costs between US$1 million and US$1.2 million.</p></blockquote>
<p>Bona was the<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/12/05/bona-to-oversee-distribution-of-the-late-robert-mugabes-assets/"> executor of her famous father’s estate</a> and it emerged that the Mugabes were rich when he died as he had $10 million dollars in his bank account when he died.</p>

US-Based Zimbabwean Hammers Wife, Sets Family House On Fire

<p>A strange incident that occurred in Sinotsi villagers in Bulilima’s Ward 8 in Matabeleland South in which a woman who had died resurrected three times before burial has left villagers and people from nearby villagers unsettled, the Chronicle reports.</p>
<p>77-year-old Ms Thembeni Moyo was first certified dead by elders in the community as per custom in February this year before her first resurrection.</p>
<p>Her first death was narrated to the Chronicle by her sister Ms Thandi Sebele who said:</p>
<blockquote><p>Before her first death, her body became swollen and she started having breathing difficulties. Later, she stopped breathing altogether. She had no pulse and was unresponsive to all kinds of stimuli. Neighbours gathered to pay their last respects.</p>
<p>I was in the room where the body lay with two other neighbours when we saw my dead sister stirring. We could not believe our eyes and at first, we thought it was the light. Then we saw her struggling to move her body. We were shocked and scared out of our wits. We crowded in one corner until she finally opened her eyes</p></blockquote>
<p>Sebele said mourners who had gathered dispersed and went back home that day, Moyo reportedly died the second time and this time they waited a little bit to tell the neighbours about her death:</p>
<blockquote><p>Everyone was talking. everyone including myself didn’t understand what had happened. People departed for their homes and my sister died again a few hours later. We did not rush to notify people this time around. But after some hours when her body had turned cold, we eventually told them.</p>
<p>The family spent a night in grief and when it was time for burial early in the morning, we found her sister alive. This time around I didn’t feel any relief or happiness. I was drained of emotion. I had a million thoughts. I was now scared of her but there was nothing I could do when everyone started drifting away, I could not turn my back on her.</p></blockquote>
<p>Sebele said they were referred to United Bulawayo Hospitals UBH and they did not have money to take her to the hospital and she died again 3 days after her second resurrection only to be found alive again a few hours later:</p>
<blockquote><p>After three days her sister became pale as she could not eat anything. Around 11am in the morning she had no pulse, was not breathing and could not move.</p>
<p>We kept it confidential this time around and she woke up the next day around 5am she was up again. Just when I was planning to invite a pastor, she lost her pulse and suddenly became cold. This time I was certain she was gone for good.</p>
<p>She had left us. Neighbours gathered for her burial. She died on a Monday but we delayed her burial to Friday</p></blockquote>
<p>When the publication contacted the Province’s Provincial Medical Officer she refused to comment on the issue and said a person is medically certified dead if they check the heartbeat, their breathing and if their pupils are dilated or fixed.</p>

FULL TEXT: Zimbabwe National Army Recruitment Notice

<p>The Speaker of Parliament, Advocate Jacob Mudenda has said unproductive Parliamentary Committee Chairpersons will be ejected from their posts.</p>
<p>Advocate Mudenda was responding to a recommendation by Norton legislator, Temba Mliswa which said action should be taken to ensure that the chairs executed their duties and responsibilities.</p>
<p>Mliswa likened Mudenda to a driver who should make sure his vehicle was in good condition. He added:</p>
<blockquote><p>I implore your good office to task the chief whips to look at the capacity (of MPs) and to look at the work. The reports which come here are not that strong.</p>
<p>The recommendations which other committees have done before have not been implemented.</p>
<p>It seems some chairpersons have no confidence to discharge their duties according to the Standing Rules and Orders.</p>
<p>I am wondering, with many things which are happening right now, our committees seem not to be vibrant.</p>
<p>A lot is happening, and I am wondering what is really happening that is stopping them from discharging their duties.</p></blockquote>
<p>Mudenda revealed that three unproductive Parliamentary chairpersons had been confronted over the matter and cautioned that they might be ejected.</p>
<blockquote><p>I am aware honourable Mliswa of three chairpersons that have not been up to scratch and they have been told. If they do not improve, then we stand them down…</p>
<p>I can assure you, we have identified three. If they do not improve, we shall stand them down because they would not be doing good service for parliament, the electorate and the party that proposed them to be chairpersons accordingly.</p></blockquote>
<p>He commended Mliswa for having done a good job during his tenure as committee chairperson. Mliswa was forced to dump the post following reports that he had engaged in underhand dealings.</p>
<p>Mudenda expressed his desire to see Mliswa coming back urging the independent legislator to be “reformed so that you do not suffer the same exigencies that occurred resulting in your stepping down, but you were one of the good chairpersons.”</p>
<p>Mudenda singled out education committee chair Priscilla Misihairabwi-Mushonga as one of the most competent and hardworking chairpersons.</p>

FULL TEXT: City Of Bulawayo Announces Water Supply Interruptions

<p>The government’s popular farmers scheme branded Pfumvudza was reportedly used to swindle money from the farmers who were beneficiaries of the said program as they had to pay the truckers who delivered the inputs to their respective areas, The Zimbabwean Independent reports.</p>
<p>Zanu PF Councillors collected monies ranging from $1 to $2 in various councils wards countrywide supposedly to pay for the deliveries of the inputs under the Pfumvudza scheme.</p>
<p>The facts presented by the publication on the story state that:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>1,8 million tonnes of cereal and 360 000 tonnes of oil seed were delivered to a registered 1,8 million families for 290 000 hectares countrywide.</li>
<li>This mean 72 000 deliveries made by 30-tonne trucks to various wards across rural Zimbabwe.</li>
<li>A syndicate of Zanu PF councillors conniving with Agritex officers and GMB staff have been demanding amounts ranging from US$1 to US$2 from each household to transport the inputs.</li>
<li>The loads consisted of 600 by 50kg bags fertilisers which were transported at a cost of US$2 each. Some 5 kg bags of maize seed, 2 kg of sorghum, 50kg of gypsum were some of the several inputs delivered.</li>
<li>This means the councillors and Agritex officers  at least US$1 200 per truck.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>A villager Matondo Growth Point in Chigodora spoke to the publication said they were told to pay for transportation of the inputs:</p>
<blockquote><p>We were told that the government only managed to transport inputs to GMB depots and it was our duty as villagers to mobilise transport to our wards. I have paid for all the inputs I received because I was afraid of losing out. At one point I failed to receive inputs because I didn’t have the money,</p></blockquote>
<p>The development was reportedly confirmed by Mutare Rural District Council (RDC) chief executive officer Shepherd Chinaka who told the publication that:</p>
<blockquote><p>We received reports at our offices that some members of the community are being asked to contribute some money to ensure that the aid gets to their distribution centres.</p>
<p>This is why we have raised this concern because we had prior knowledge that the government delivers for free. People are complaining about exorbitant charges</p></blockquote>
<p>A Zanu PF official monitoring the deliveries told the publication that the committees that collect the money from farmers share the cash:</p>
<blockquote><p>The committee pockets the money and shares it. I checked with some drivers who indicated that everything was paid for,” said a Zanu PF official monitoring the deliveries. In another incident I walked in on the committee sharing the spoils and they tried to bribe me.</p>
<p>The transport costs are handled by a committee led by the councillor and subject to willful use of the committee. No audit or accountability measures are taken to ensure that the funds are used for intended purposes.</p>
<p>Apart from purporting to pay for transport, the funds are used to pay community off-loaders, Agritex officers’ allowances as expenses incurred while arranging for the collection and distribution of goods from GMB. It’s not clear what happens to the remaining funds in the event there are balances.</p></blockquote>
<p>A Zanu PF source that spoke to the publication said some councillors will  be blacklisted from campaigning in 2023 over the issue,</p>

ZERA Announces JOB Vacancy For Financial Analyst

<p>The Bindura Registrar-General’s office has not been processing passports after the office failed to purchase pre-paid electricity tokens for several months.</p>
<p>Provincial registrar Tafadzwa Nyandoro confirmed the power crisis adding that he had been assured that the solution was on its way. Nyandoro said:</p>
<blockquote><p>Yes, it’s true, but I have received assurance that it is being attended to by our accounts department and we will soon be up and running.</p></blockquote>
<p>NewsDay was told that residents were failing to access the documents since they were supposed to be processed electronically. One resident, Donald Shungu:</p>
<blockquote><p>Passports are only issued in Bindura and it is not acceptable that such a big office is failing to pay for electricity bills. What is the Home Affairs minister Kazembe Kazembe doing when the whole province is crying over passports?</p></blockquote>
<p>Zimbabwe has a huge passport backlog that is attributed to a shortage of resources at the Registrar-General’s office to process the documents.</p>
<p>This has happened when the citizenry has been applying for the documents in large numbers in an endeavour to escape from the biting economy.</p>
