A 20-year-old Mutare man drowned in a swimming pool on Saturday, over a week ago, during a birthday party held at a rented Weirmouth property.
Ralf Fungai Getsi Murera’s relatives suspect foul play in his death as the people who were with him just before his death are not speaking about what really transpired.
The party was a joint birthday bash for the Munongwa twin brothers that was held at Plot Number 40, Weirmouth.
Murera was among the invited guests at the poolside party where DJs 37 OFF, Zintronix and Stavoe were entertaining the guests.
Ezra Kurewa (17), who saw Murera diving into the swimming pool said he expected that he would resurface safely.
Acting Manicaland provincial police spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka said police have so far gathered that Murera was drunk when he jumped into the pool and drowned. He said:
<blockquote>
Takudzwa Munongwa (20) and his twin brother, Tinotenda, held a birthday pool party last Saturday.
They invited several guests, including the now deceased. At the party, Murera and other guests were drinking beer and swimming in the shallow part of the swimming pool.
At around midday, Murera jumped to the deeper part of the swimming pool and drowned. He was retrieved by Metro Hondo (21) who was among the guests.
First aid was rendered on Murera. Wellington Maradza (21) volunteered to ferry Murera to Dangamvura Polyclinic using his motor vehicle.
Upon arrival at the clinic, Murera was transferred to Victoria Chitepo Provincial Hospital where he received treatment and later died around 6 pm.
</blockquote>
The owner of the house, 85-year-old Tracy Makoni told police detectives that the twins asked her to use her home for the party and she consented.
However, Murera’s brother, Reuben, has refused to rule out foul play in the death. He said:
<blockquote>
It is painful my brother. We are at a loss for words as a family. He was a fine young man who was peaceful and loving. There are issues that are not clear.
We are not pointing fingers at anyone, but we are not sure why people who were said to have picked him and took him to the hospital are not opening up on what exactly happened just before he breathed his last.
It is suspicious as people who saw him dying are not forthcoming to shed more light on what really transpired.
I learnt that he was rushed to the hospital by three people. At least if these people open up, we will understand what really happened.
It is depressing that none of the people who were present at the pool party is willing to shed more light on what happened.
We are hearing that he was naked when he was taken to the hospital. All we have now is just hearsay.
We suspect foul play. The post mortem is saying the alcohol he consumed may have contributed to his death.
Nothing is being associated with drowning. On Saturday evening, hours after his death, blood was oozing from his mouth. Could that be drowning?

Man (20) Drowns During Poolside Party

Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) Change Champion in Chief, Nelson Chamisa, was expected to address the party supporters at Zimbabwe Grounds in Highfields, Harare on Sunday.
On Sunday Harare residents woke up to numerous police roadblocks across the city, with CCC leaders of the view that the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) was trying to block citizens from attending the rally.
Regardless of the unexplained heavy police presence in Harare, hundreds of Zimbabweans thronged Zimbabwe Grounds. See some of the pictures from the rally below:

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) is investigating a suspected bomb explosion that injured two minors in Tsholotsho on Friday.
Police said the two minors, aged 3 and 12, were playing in the bush at Magotsha line, Chief Ngqoya, Tsholotsho, when they picked up what they thought to be just metal and started playing with it before it exploded. ZRP said:
<blockquote>
One of the victims sustained a laceration on the nose, left knee, thigh and groin area while the other sustained injuries on the stomach, nose, right hand, chin and thigh.
Investigations are underway to determine the nature and type of the explosive device.
</blockquote>
In November last year, a Beitbridge man and his son died in a horrific explosion after the father tried to open a motor bomb he had picked up in the bush.
Realise Mpofu (26) of Mandate Village under Chief Matibe’s area and his son (7) were killed when the father used pliers and a hammer to open the bomb whose origins is not known.
An internal police document at the time indicated that Mpofu got his legs and palms blown off in the explosion.

Senior Government officials are reportedly involved in illegal mining activities which have resulted in environmental degradation in Penhalonga, Odzi, Tarka Forest and along Mutare River.
This was revealed by Environment, Climate, Tourism and Hospitality Industry Deputy Minister, Barbara Rwodzi, during an Environmental Management Act Amendment Draft Bill (Chapter 20: 27) consultation meeting held in Mutare on Tuesday.
Rwodzi called for the arrest and prosecution of all those involved in the illegal mining activities. She said:
<blockquote>
I need to bring to the attention of the house the rampant land degradation and pollution which is happening at an accelerated pace in Manicaland due to illegal mining.
I am reliably informed that the most affected areas are Penhalonga, Mutare River, Tarka Forest and Odzi.
Complaints have been raised on the involvement of Government officials in these activities.
Illegal miners use mineral detectors and move from one place to another leaving a trail of land degradation as well as water and air pollution due to the usage of chemicals.
This must be stopped immediately and as Government we expect EMA, working with the police, to arrest the culprits for prosecution.
</blockquote>
Rwodzi also noted that decommissioned mines are a threat to the environment as their rehabilitation cost millions of dollars. She said:
<blockquote>
In this province, Inyathi and Dinhidza Mines come to mind. Environmental degradation and pollution are occurring from the old works and dumps and we need to have a critical discussion as we review the EMA Act.
EMA carried out a rehabilitation cost survey for decommissioned mines in 2011 and it was noted that an average of US$4 million is required to rehabilitate a single decommissioned large-scale mine.
</blockquote>
The Mutare consultation meeting sought to realign the Environmental Management Act with the Constitution and the latest global trends.
Similar meetings have already been conducted in Bulawayo and Masvingo and the next meeting is set for Kadoma this week.

The Government will decentralise the processing of the newly introduced e-passport to every province.
This was said by Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage Minister Kazembe Kazembe while addressing journalists on the sidelines of the Southern Africa Regional Police Chiefs Co-operation Organisation (SARPCO) meeting held in Harare on Wednesday.
Kazembe said the decentralisation of the system will start with Bulawayo Metropolitan province. He said:
<blockquote>
The Bulawayo Registrar-General’s Office is already being equipped with systems capable of processing e-passport applications.
As you are aware we have a partner we have contracted to issue the e-passport, we want to expedite the process so that everyone is not left behind.

Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZimParks) officers are tracking down two stray lions believed to have escaped from Devuli Range.
The lions have killed two beasts and at least five goats in the Gwindingwi area, Ward 16 of Chimanimani District.
Chimanimani District Development Coordinator Joseph Manyurapasi confirmed the developments. He said:
<blockquote>
There are two stray lions in the Gwindingwi are in Ward 16 of Chimanimani District.
Zimbabwe National Parks officers have since been deployed and they are hunting down the predators.
From the reports we have, two beasts and at least five goats have been killed so far. There has been no human casualty.

Zimbabwe’s borders are yet to reopen for ordinary travellers almost a week after Cabinet announced its decision for land borders to be opened to vaccinated ordinary travellers.
Immigration officials on Saturday told The Sunday News that they were to get the legal instruments to allow ordinary travellers to pass through.
Regional Immigration officer-in-charge of Beitbridge Joshua Chibundu said they are still handling essential travellers as before but are prepared to deal with the anticipated surge in the number of general travellers once they get the green light to allow them in. He said:
<blockquote>
We are ready to deal with any volume of traffic like we have done before and currently, we are waiting for the standard operating procedures to be complete before the new regulations may kick in.
At the moment it’s business as usual, the travellers are very cautious and we haven’t had any issues with people being turned away for failing to qualify under the essential travellers’ bracket.
We are hopeful, that soon we will be having a clear position on what needs to be done, but generally, everyone is ready to deliver in line with their mandates.
</blockquote>
Last week on Tuesday, Cabinet approved the opening of all land borders which have been closed for the general public since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Before the latest decision, only commercial cargo, Zimbabweans with permits to study or work in other countries were allowed to depart via land borders.

Borders Yet To Reopen For Ordinary Travellers

The Executive Director of the National Association of Non-Governmental Organisations (NANGO), Leonard Mandishara, has died.
According to the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR), Mandishara died on Wednesday 16 February 2022.
In a statement expressing their condolences, ZLHR said Mandishara steered NANGO during a challenging period for civil society in Zimbabwe.
ZLHR said Mandishara’s death leaves a void in the NANGO network in Zimbabwe. Read part of the statement:
<blockquote>
ZLHR cherishes his diligent commitment, passion and humility in working to foster advocacy and mediation in policy development, identification of crucial development priorities, proposing practical solutions and policy opportunities and constructively critiquing impractical and problematic policies.
ZLHR also collaborated with NANGO and other like-minded non-state actors to enhance public participation in various consultative processes that were critical, incrementally contributing to democratic development and ensuring the progressive realisation and enjoyment of all the rights citizens are entitled.
… ZLHR’s Board, membership and secretariat extends its deepest condolences to Mandishara’s family, relatives, colleagues, workmates at NANGO and his acquaintances within and outside the non-profit making sector in Zimbabwe and beyond.

The Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) has reportedly increased security in army barracks across the country following a rise in robberies involving soldiers.
In a bid to weed out “rogue” elements, the military is subjecting vehicles of military personnel and civilians leaving cantonments to thorough searches.
Those leaving barracks with bags are also being subjected to a stop-and-search as the army remains on high alert, reported The NewsHawks. Said a source:
<blockquote>
This has always been standard procedure in the army but with time there was laxity.
Now those tasked with security are more vigilant as the military strives to improve discipline in its ranks and also account for rogue elements.
</blockquote>
The army’s intelligence department is reportedly going after assets belonging to soldiers implicated in robberies.
This includes tracking and seizure of assets registered in the names of children and wives of the rogue soldiers, suspected to have been from proceeds of crime.
The NewsHawks reported army insiders as saying Lameck Kabara, from the Zimbabwe National Defence College, has since lost a car, house, and other properties, following his arrest in December 2021. Said a security official:
<blockquote>
Lameck’s properties were repossessed. After the arrest, the military went after him so that he could get military discipline.
He, like other suspects, was also questioned on the robberies and accomplices and as you know the military interrogation is tough if not brutal.
</blockquote>
Kabara reportedly lost properties that include assets in South Africa, a Mercedes-Benz vehicle, an Isuzu single cab truck and a house in Harare’s Zimre Park suburb.
Kabara and Christopher Charuma, who is with the Air Force of Zimbabwe (AFZ) based at Manyame Air Base, were arrested over the 24 December armed robbery and murder in Harare.
The duo allegedly committed the crimes together with Perseverence Chihota, a civilian, who was also arrested. They had got away with US$40 000.
According to the police, the two men, wearing balaclavas and armed with a service rifle, an AK47, shot dead Elvis Chijaka and also wounded Brian Chijaka.
Police said Chijaka was shot dead after interrupting a robbery following a call from his sister who was inside the house.

Military 'Tightens Screws' On Rogue Elements

FC Platinum coach Norman Mapeza has described Dynamos as a “massive club” ahead of a Castle Lager Premiership football match against the Glamour Boys at Mandava Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The platinum miners would naturally want to immediately bounce back to winning ways following the defeat away to Bulawayo Chiefs last weekend.
Speaking ahead of the match against Dembare which has been brought forward to 1 PM kick-off, Mapeza said:
<blockquote>
It’s a massive game for us as a club. As you know Dynamos, they are who they are; a massive club in the country and we have so much respect for them.
They have got a rich history in Zimbabwean football but at the end of the day, it’s a game of football.
If you look at our past records, I think they have been the dominant side but this is a different ball game altogether now, a new season.
</blockquote>
FC Platinum and Dynamos last met in the Chibuku Super Cup semi-finals at Baobab Stadium, with the former winning 1-0 en route to winning the title.
Reflecting on the loss to Bulawayo Chiefs last weekend, Mapeza said he wasn’t really disappointed by the loss. He said:
<blockquote>
I wasn’t really disappointed that we lost to Chiefs because of circumstances that were beyond our control.
But I was happy with our performance and with four-five games to come, I think everybody will be in good condition to perform better.
There were some situations where I think we did very well against Chiefs but also there were some moments that I think we could have done better in terms of our defending.
We conceded two goals in the first half in the space of 15 minutes and then in the second half, it happened again.
So tomorrow (today) it’s all about maximum concentration because if we are going to concede early it will be difficult for us.
</blockquote>
FC Platinum has released several senior players, among them Silas Songani, Stanley Ngala, Rahman Kutsanzira, Kelvin Madzongwe, Donald Ngoma, Rodwell Chinyengetere, Denzel Khumalo, Donald Dzvinyai and Ralph Kawondera.
Mapeza however, retained experienced players like Gift Mbweti, Rainsome Pavari, Donald Teguru while Walter Musona returned from South Africa.
Young players on FC Platinum’s books include the likes of Panashe Mutimbanyoka, Oscar Bhebhe, Kelvin Mangiza, Thando Ngwenya, Hagiazo Magaya and Nigerian Abubakar Onifadeh.

Match Against Dynamos 'Massive' - Mapeza

United States-based Zimbabwean Biomedical Scientist and Software Engineer, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Freeman_Chari">Freeman Chari</a>, has launched a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/cz64a-support-team-pachedu">GoFundMe campaign for Team Pachedu</a>, a group of Zimbabweans who are working on enhancing transparency and holding public officials in Zimbabwe accountable.
Recently, Team Pachedu discovered alleged discrepancies in the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) national voters’ roll.
It is alleged that ZEC moved 170 000 voters from their constituencies and wards and created additional polling stations under unclear circumstances.
Chari, a Team Pachedu alumni and a former member, said the group requires computers, servers and software. He said:
<blockquote>
The work we do requires spending a lot of resources on computers, servers and software. We also spend a lot of personal resources to hold the government accountable.
[The money will be used] to cover our work’s daily needs, which includes the need for bigger computing power and licensed software. There may be some things we need to also outsource.
</blockquote>
The GoFundMe campaign is targeting to raise US$5 000. To date, US$3 154 has been raised from 136 donations, with the highest donor having advanced US$110.

A Honde Valley family suffered a double tragedy on Tuesday night when a hearse carrying their relative’s body was involved in an accident that left the corpse defaced and bruised.
Caleb Mapaya’s coffin was broken into pieces, leaving the corpse on the ground.
His widow, Cecilia Chingaya-Mapaya who was seated next to the driver of the hearse was thrown out of the vehicle and trapped underneath.
She was rushed to Hauna District Hospital but later died due to the injuries she sustained in the accident.
The accident occurred at the 22-kilometre peg along the Selborne-Aberfoyle Road in Chipupuri Village, Honde Valey.
The Mapayas were travelling to Honde Valley for burial in Harare-based funeral services, Chats Funeral Services, vehicle with two other relatives, Mary Muredzi and Whyson Makina.
Paul Chatadza was driving the vehicle while his assistant, Brian Chidhakwa, was also in the vehicle.
Chatadza reportedly lost control of the Mitsubishi Colt double cab, resulting in the vehicle veering off the road.
Makina, Chatadza and Chidhakwa, as well as Muredzi, sustained injuries and were all admitted at Hauna District Hospital on Tuesday night before being discharged on Wednesday morning.
The driver of the hearse, Chatadza has since been arrested and is assisting the police with investigations.
Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) acting spokesperson in Manicaland Province, Assistant Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka, confirmed the incident to The Manica Post. He said:
<blockquote>
The corpse was thrown out of the coffin and it landed on the ground. The driver was speeding when he lost control of the vehicle.
We urge motorists to desist from speeding and always adhere to road traffic rules.
</blockquote>
Assistant Inspector Chinyoka added that when the vehicle veered off the road, it hit the road embankment and rolled several times, throwing Chingaya-Mapaya and her husband’s coffin out.
The late couple’s son, Tatenda Mapaya, said it was painful to lose both parents in a short space of time, especially under the circumstances. He said:
<blockquote>
We were at my father’s funeral wake, only to hear that the hearse had been involved in an accident and that my mother had died too.
I thought they were joking, but this is the sad reality. The pain is just too much, but I guess that is what they both wanted.
Maybe they wanted to be together even in death, but it is really painful.
</blockquote>
Mapaya’s aunt, Flora Gandiwa said that they have never experienced such a tragedy in their family. Said Gandiwa:
<blockquote>
It is taboo for someone to die while on her way to bury her husband. The fact that the corpse sustained some injuries is scary.
How can a corpse be thrown out of an intact and secured coffin? The funeral service provider should tell us what really happened.
</blockquote>
The couple is survived by six children.

Corpse Disfigured In Hearse Accident, Widow Killed

The Immigration Department has said the new electronic passport (e-passport) is now accepted as an official document at all ports of entry.
Memory Mugwagwa, the Immigration Department’s spokesperson revealed that the specimen of the e-passport had been sent to all borders and immigration officials were now familiar with its features. She said:
<blockquote>
Yes, the passport is acceptable. We have since sent the specimen to all borders and the officers are now conversant with the new security features.
It has enhanced security features, which are not prone to fraudulent activities.
</blockquote>
On 14 December 2021, Zimbabwe launched an e-passport with improved security features to replace the old one. Issuance of e-passports began on 18 January.
However, after the launch, members of the public were advised that the e-passport will be usable at all our ports of entry and exit with effect from Monday, 7 February 2022.
Early this week, the Government relaxed COVID-19 restrictions and opened all land borders to fully vaccinated travellers with valid COVID-19 PCR test certificates.
An e-passport is a conventional passport that has a chip implanted in one of its pages.
The chip contains data or information essential in verifying the identity of the passport.
The information in the chip includes the personal data found on the data page of the passport, the biometrics (physical characteristics that can be used to identify individuals, such as a photograph) of the passport holder, the unique chip identification number, and a digital signature.

The National Health and Allied Workers Union of Zimbabwe (NHAWUZ) has expressed support for teachers who have not been reporting for duty since schools reopened last Monday citing incapacitation.
The Government responded by effecting a blanket three-month suspension without pay on all the absentee teachers.
In a statement on Tuesday, NHAWUZ criticised the unilateral action by the Government, arguing that it has no place “in a well-developed democracy”. NHAWUZ said:
<blockquote>
We support Social dialogue and collective bargaining through trade unionism and we want to see constructive relationships between the government of Zimbabwe and teachers.
This kind of relationship has proved its high value in many countries, both in times of economic growth and during a crisis.
In spite of attempts to demonize Zimbabwe’s public sector (through the Public Service debate, for instance), the problem of the irresponsibility of the banking sector, the unfairness of those paying for the reckless, corrupt and greediness of a few political elites is very much difficult to align with neoliberal conventions.
This logic of injustice and unfairness has to reawaken politics and galvanize actions that governments dismiss at their own peril.
</blockquote>
On Wednesday, the Zimbabwe Public Service Commission (PSC) gave all teachers, deputy heads and heads of schools until Tuesday 22 February 2022 to report for duty.
The PSC said that teachers who have either not reported for duty or are reporting for duty but not teaching will be deemed to have resigned if they ignore the 22nd of February deadline.

NHAWUZ Backs Striking Teachers

Affirmative Action Group’s president for Mashonaland West Chapter, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Mike_Chimombe">Mike Chimombe</a>, and his wife’s sister, Panashe Rusero, have been blessed with a baby boy.
The businessman and socialite made headlines last year when lifestyle publication, H-Metro revealed that he had impregnated his sister-in-law and the “couple” were expecting a child.
When reached for comment on reports about the birth of the baby, Chimombe did not pick up his phone and didn’t answer H-Metro’s landline.
But the publication reported sources close to the family as saying that the baby was born early this year and Chimombe has been keeping a low profile since then. Said the source:
<blockquote>
They welcomed a baby boy early this year and they are trying to keep it low-key.
At the moment, Mike has an apartment for Panashe and the child, so basically he has two homes, which he frequents.
Sometimes, he sleeps at Panashe’s house or at his wife Mitchell’s house, so it’s as if now he has two wives.
</blockquote>
Chimombe’s affair with Panashe reportedly started between 2009-2010 and the businessman is said to have once attempted to marry Panashe.

ZIMFACT has exposed false claims that were made by President Emmerson Mnangagwa while addressing ZANU PF supporters at the launch of the party’s 26 March by-elections campaign in Epworth, Harare, last Saturday.
Mnangagwa claimed that half of Harare City Council councillors face corruption charges. He said:
<blockquote>
Harare City Council, over half of them, are facing charges in court over corruption. So when we vote, we have a chance to replace them.
</blockquote>
According to ZIMFACT, the claim is false. Harare has 46 wards, each represented by a councillor.
While several councillors have been arrested, including former Harare mayor, Herbert Gomba, and his replacement, Jacob Mafume, on corruption allegations, the number of all reported arrests does not support Mnangagwa’s claim that half of Harare’s councillors face corruption charges.
Mnangagwa also claimed that the Victoria Falls Stock Exchange has listed new companies each month since its launch.
ZIMFACT again, says the claim is false. VFEX has listed only four companies since its launch in December 2021. Mnangagwa had said:
<blockquote>
Since we launched VFEX, every month, or every other month, two or three international companies are registered with VFEX.
So foreign currency is now coming in from outside because this stock exchange at international level.
</blockquote>
Seed Co International, Padenga Holdings, Caledonia Mining Corporation and Bindura Nickel Corporation are the only firms that are listed on the Victoria Falls Stock Exchange.

Mnangagwa's False Claims During Epworth Rally Exposed

A 38-year-old man from Mahatshula North suburb in Bulawayo earned praise from the community after helping his pregnant wife deliver her baby boy at their home recently.
Thomas Tiyatara turned midwife and helped his wife Samukeliso Moyo (21), who had gone into labour on 4 February, deliver the baby after an ambulance failed to arrive on time to their home.
Narrating to B-Metro what transpired on the night, Tiyatara said his wife developed labour pains at around 11 PM and he assisted her to deliver the baby at about 1 AM. He said:
<blockquote>
When she woke me up at around 11 pm saying she was feeling ‘a little bit uncomfortable’, I just thought they were normal pains.
I became scared when the labour pains worsened and that is when I called an ambulance. It was pretty surreal.
While waiting for an ambulance to arrive I got her into position using blankets to create a steady surface, like the back seat of a car while making sure she is as comfortable as possible.
While she was writhing in agony the baby started coming out and I panicked when I saw the baby’s head.
I, however, gathered courage and quickly reached over with my hands and caught the baby.
</blockquote>
Tayatara said despite the fact that his wife was in pain she instructed him not to pull on the baby’s head or body. He added:
<blockquote>
After the baby came, I didn’t cut or pull on the umbilical cord. I just placed it next to the baby until an ambulance arrived.
The ambulance arrived two hours later to provide assistance and the paramedics took my wife and the baby to North End Clinic where they received further medical care.
Her delivery was quick, like 30 to 45 minutes and was followed by “screaming and the familiar cry of the baby”.
</blockquote>
The joyful mother, Samukeliso, said when she went into labour with her second child at home, her husband was so scared. She said:
<blockquote>
He just handled the whole thing alone. It was, like, the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen.
I feel loved and honoured and it was a perfect way to welcome our new baby boy into the world. It was a remarkable moment indeed.
</blockquote>
In honour of her husband’s efforts, the couple decided to name the baby Thomas Tiyatara Junior.
The couple is excited that there were no post-natal complications that required medical intervention.

Hubby Turns Midwife, Assists Wife To Give Birth At Home

A Harare woman gave birth to a bouncing baby girl at the Harare Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
Patience Mubaiwa (39), went into labour, after testifying as a defence witness, in a matter in which her brother is an accused person.
The now mother of four was at court for the afternoon session, when she went into labour.
Tarisavi Machisa (27) who was also going about her business at court and regional court recorder, Miriam Chimedza, helped Mubaiwa deliver her baby as there were no health personnel to attend to the situation.
<img decoding="async" src="https://www.zimmorningpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/WhatsApp-Image-2022-02-15-at-4.40.03-AM.jpeg"/>
The baby was wrapped in a sweater and some papers, as they waited for medical assistance.
The mother and her new baby were later taken to Sally Mugabe Central Hospital, in an ambulance, for further medical checks by doctors.

Mum (39) Gives Birth On Floor Inside Harare Magistrate Court

President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Tuesday warned Cabinet ministers against globetrotting with no tangible results and instead focus on developmental programmes in line with Vision 2030.
He said the unnecessary foreign trips by Cabinet ministers must stop immediately.
The President made the remarks while addressing ministers at the first 2022 Cabinet meeting at the State House in Harare yesterday. He said:
<blockquote>
… I have observed a worrisome trend where, as ministers, you are now prone to foreign travel, along with your senior officials. This unbecoming culture should stop forthwith.
</blockquote>
Former Finance minister and Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) vice-president Tendai Biti dismissed Mnangagwa’s statements on foreign travels as a trick intended to attract attention and mislead the public. Said Biti:
<blockquote>
It is deceit and lies. No Cabinet minister travels out of the country without Cabinet approval and it’s Mnangagwa who issues Cabinet approval.
No minister travels out of the country without the approval of the President.
This is just a statement full of dishonesty because Mnangagwa is the one who signs the approvals for the trip.
</blockquote>
Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Budget and Finance chairperson Mathew Nyashanu told NewsDay that most foreign travel by government officials was unnecessary. He said:
<blockquote>
While foreign travel is necessary for appreciation of best practices across the globe through benchmarking exercises and for research and development, some of the travels by government officials is extremely wasteful and unnecessary.
This is bleeding an already burdened fiscus. The President’s comment is in line with the ongoing Public Finance Management reforms, where we are trying to tighten screws on public expenditure.
We are in the process of strengthening our Public Finance Management in order to reduce such leakages.

Mnangagwa Chides Ministers Over Unnecessary Foreign Trips

The Government on Tuesday reopened all land borders and also lifted the ban on maize and wheat imports that was put in place after the country recorded a good maize harvest during the 2020/21 agricultural season.
Zimbabwe closed all land borders in 2019 to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus except for cargo transport, returning citizens and other authorised persons.
The reopening of the country’s borders was announced by Information, Publicity, Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa while addressing a post-Cabinet media briefing in Harare on Tuesday. Said Mutsvangwa:
<blockquote>
In view of the continued decline in new cases and deaths coupled with a declining testing positivity rate that is indicating that the community transmission has gone down, all ports of entry be: reopened but ensuring that all the recommended COVID-19 prevention measures are adhered to.
All ports of entry have been opened. All persons entering Zimbabwe must have undergone a valid COVID-19 PCR [polymerase chain reaction] test not more than 48 hours from the time of their departure for Zimbabwe, and be fully vaccinated.
Those with booster shots have an entry advantage.
</blockquote>
The announcement comes after the Government recently relaxed COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, reduced curfew hours and opened schools.
Mutsvangwa said the wheat and maize import ban had also been lifted, with all import permits issued before this announcement now set to expire on 31 May 2021.

Zimbabwe Reopens Land Borders, Lifts Import Ban On Maize

The Public Service Commission (PSC) has announced that civil servants in rural areas will be provided with free transport for shopping every Saturday after a payday every month starting this month.
In a notice, the PSC revealed that teachers will be the first to start enjoying the facility, with the rest of the civil servants following on 26 February.
Starting this Saturday, a bus from Kotwa will pick up people at BSPZ leaving at 6:30 am and arrive in Harare at Fourth Street near Mukwati Building at 0900hrs while returning at 3 pm. Read part of the notice:
<blockquote>
The PSC wishes to inform civil servants that it will be providing transport for shopping to civil servants every Saturday after a payday monthly from February 2022 onwards.
Civil servants who wish to enjoy this facility are required to carry their payslips and national IDs with them and it should be noted that the facility is free for now.
</blockquote>
This new incentive for civil servants comes after the Government awarded them a 20 per cent salary increment backdated to 1 January, plus US$100 from the employees’ local currency component.
Teachers will receive school fees support for up to three biological children and also be allowed to import vehicles duty-free.

Free Transport For Shopping Trips For Civil Servants

Legendary musician Hosea Chipanga will contest the Dangamvura-Chikanga Constituency in the 26 March by-elections on a Patriotic Zimbabweans Party ticket.
Chipanga urged voters to abandon opposition legislators and councillors whom he accused of failing to deliver. Said Chipanga:
<blockquote>
We are preparing for the by-elections following the holding of the nomination court.
There are a number of problems in our constituency that include poor road network and unavailability of clean water.
Our expectations were that the legislators could attend to laws and policies that promote growth and sustainability.
The local council was drafting budgets that were not supported by income-generating initiatives.
The council only focuses on rentals and rates to fund their operations instead of thinking outside the box.
We now have a challenge where people are fond of political parties and not their country.
That’s the major challenge we are facing at the moment.
</blockquote>
Chipanga will square off against five other candidates namely Esau Mupfumi (ZANU PF), Taurai Mudzipurwa (MDC Alliance), Prosper Mutseyami (CCC) and Anesu Zaranyika (MA’AT Zimbabwe Party).
In 2017, Chipanga formed his own party, the Kingdom of God on Earth but abandoned his project in 2021 to join the Patriotic Zimbabweans Party.

Hosea Chipanga To Contest Dangamvura-Chikanga Seat

The City of Harare has relocated driving schools from the Robert Gabriel Mugabe Square to Rotten Row Commuter Omnibus holding terminus.
This comes after the Harare Driving Schools Association (HDSA) wrote to the local authority requesting temporary use of the Rotten Row facility.
Most driving schools were operating without training grounds, with Robert Gabriel Mugabe Square and Coca-Cola Grounds among some of the spaces that they have been operating from.
However, both settings do not have ablution facilities or running water, yet Harare City Council was charging them ranking fees.
HCC spokesperson, Michael Chideme, on Monday told H-Metro that the relocation of driving schools to Rotten Row Commuter Omnibus holding terminus is a temporary measure.
HDSA chairperson, Nelson Mbedzi, said they would be happy if the local authority allows them to operate from the facility permanently. Said Mbedzi:
<blockquote>
We cannot say it’s a permanent situation though. We had earlier applied for the temporary use of the place before this move.
As HDSA, we would be happy if Council gives us that place to operate from permanently as it has all facilities.
</blockquote>
This year, the City of Harare increased ranking fees, for cars, from $14 000 to $18 000 per month, while fees for trucks were raised from $18 000 to $22 000.

ZUPCO To Increase Bus Fares Effective 16 February

Multi-award-winning African value airline, Fastjet, has warned members of the public about a fake competition being circulated on social media by scammers.
The alleged scammers are asking people to complete a questionnaire and stand a chance to win a cash prize or air tickets.
In <a href="https://twitter.com/fastjet/status/1493515895691526149">a statement</a>, Fastjet distanced itself from the purported competition and advised the public to not click on the link on the messages and to immediately delete the message and not share it with anyone. The statement read:
<blockquote>
Fastjet is aware of a fake competition circulated on social media by scammers. The competition is requesting people to complete a questionnaire and falsely stand a chance to win a cash prize or air tickets.
Fastjet advises that recipients of such messages do not click on the link, immediately delete the message and not share with any of their friends or contacts.
</blockquote>
In November 2022 Fastjet will celebrate its seventh successful year of operations in Zimbabwe, the company says on its website.
Fastjet continues to operate daily return services between Harare and Bulawayo, Harare, and Victoria Falls, and internationally from Harare, Bulawayo and Victoria Falls to Johannesburg in South Africa, which remains a popular destination choice for Fastjet customers.
The airline has recently added two new international destinations to their flight network from Victoria Falls, the tourism capital in Zimbabwe to Kruger, Nelspruit Mpumalanga in South Africa, and Maun the tourism capital of Botswana.

Fastjet Warns Of A Fake Competition By Scammers

Civil servants say they are now able to go to work after the Government awarded them a 20 per cent Zimbabwe dollar salary increment plus an additional US$100 cash allowance, among other incentives.
In an interview with Zimpapers Television Network (ZTN), the secretary for the Public Sector Trade Unions David Dzatsunga said while the salary adjustment is not good enough, it should at least be enough to enable civil servants to return to work. He said:
<blockquote>
We believe that these new measures will certainly make it difficult to justify incapacitation.
With US$175, the RTGS component could amount to an extra US$100 and we are looking at US$375 for the lowest worker on the current obtaining parallel market rate.
I believe that US$375 should be enough, it’s not good enough, it’s not the best, but it should be enough for someone to get to work.
</blockquote>
Teachers downed tools when schools opened for the 2022 first term on Monday citing incapacitation and the Government responded by suspending the striking teachers.
Dzatsunga said they were in negotiations with the Government over the suspension of the teachers. He said:
<blockquote>
We had a fallout on the Government side with the threat to punish teachers who didn’t travel to their workstations because of incapacitation.
They have genuine problems of incapacitation and the divide was too wide between the poverty line and their income.
</blockquote>
Also speaking to ZTN, Minister of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare Paul Mavima called for cool heads on both sides for progress’ sake. Said Mavima:
<blockquote>
It’s almost a matter that is sub judice because there are now court challenges and other things like that.
It’s not proper for us to be dragging each other through the courts and it’s not proper for the learners of this country to not be attended to as the Government is making frantic and very genuine efforts to improve the conditions of service of the workers.
I would appeal to everyone to really maintain a position of rationality so that we can move our country forward.

Civil Servants Say Latest Salary Increment Is 'Enough'

Zimbabwe has donated 1 000 tonnes of maize to terrorism victims in Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado Province.
The donation was delivered by President Emmerson Mnangagwa to Mozambique’s President Filipe Nyusi during his one-day state visit to Maputo on Friday last week.
Zimbabwe joins donors who are working on providing aid aimed at rebuilding infrastructure and restoring public services in Cabo Delgado province which has been experiencing conflict since 2017.
President Nyusi expressed gratitude to Zimbabwe for the donation and acknowledged the country’s western neighbour’s role in fighting Islamist extremists in the gas and oil-rich province. Said Nyusi:
<blockquote>
I want to thank President Mnangagwa for his donation of 1 000 tonnes to the victims of terrorism. The kind gesture will go a long way. Also, Zimbabwe has been very supportive in terms of security.
We have Zimbabwean officers participating in the training and development of our soldiers who are fighting terrorists.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, the International Crisis Group (ICG), while noting the important role played by humanitarian aid, urged the Mozambican government to engage the terrorists in dialogue and address their grievances to bring long-lasting peace. The group said:
<blockquote>
Humanitarian and development aid money has started to cool tensions on the ground. It may dissuade some young men from taking up arms, but not enough of them.
Without government efforts to address the insurgency’s political roots, especially through dialogue, the civilian population of Cabo Delgado will probably have to live through a prolonged period of conflict.
</blockquote>
In May last year, <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/05/25/south-africa-donates-mealie-meal-to-cyclone-idai-victims/">Zimbabwe received a donation of 5 625 tonnes of mealie meal worth 50 million rands from South Africa for Cyclone Idai victims.</a>
The first batch of 272 tonnes was handed over to President Emmerson Mnangagwa this morning at State House by South Africa Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Naledi Pandor.
South Africa made the pledge in 2019 and Pandor said the donation could not come on time because of the COVID-19 pandemic that restricted movement.

Zimbabwe Donates 1 000 Tonnes Of Maize To Mozambique

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has warned ZANU PF members against leaving the party as that will likely mark the end of their political careers.
He made the remarks while addressing a rally in Epworth at the weekend when he was launching the party’s campaign for the March 26 by-elections. He said:
<blockquote>
 I am aware that we have by-elections coming up and during the provincial elections, we got reports that they were chaotic. Conflicts are accepted in the party but if a candidate wins, we must all embrace the result and rally behind them,” he said.
We do not want thieves. I am told some of the candidates ran away with ballot papers during primary elections. If you are the one who disappeared with ballot papers, let it be the last time. Zanu PF loves peace.
You must follow the laws that are in the party. Respect the laws of the party.  Do not join the opposition. Do not ever attempt to leave. It’s cold out there.
</blockquote>
Mnangagwa blamed the lack of development in the country on corruption during the reign of the late former President Robert Mugabe’s era. He said:
<blockquote>
I sometimes question where money meant for development went during the First Republic, but I’m quick to put myself to order (keep quiet) as I was also part of the old regime.
</blockquote>
Political analyst Eldred Masunungure said: “Assuming it was not a miss of the tongue, that is staggeringly shocking and yet unwittingly true, especially from a regime that consistently seeks to distance itself in word and deed from the so-called first republic.

"Don't Ever Attempt To Leave, It’s Cold Out There" - Mnangagwa Tells ZANU PF Members

<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Tanyaradzwa_Muzinda">Tanyaradzwa Adel Muzinda</a>, a Zimbabwean motocross rider, has said the government is not sincere in educating its children. She speaks amid a deadlock between the government and teachers who are refusing to return to work until the government pays them US$540 they were being paid in 2018.
There have been clashes between the government and teachers in the past two years with the employees declaring incapacitation to fulfil their contractual duties. They argue that the inflation eroded their salaries and a piecemeal approach to the problem was not helping hence the need to just restore the United States Dollar-denominated salaries.
Schools were reopened on the 7th of this month after being closed in December and some teachers are adamant they will not go back to work despite the <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/02/08/govt-awards-civil-servants-20-per-cent-salary-increase/">government reviewing their salaries up by 20 per cent. </a>
The employer has also <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/02/08/govt-awards-civil-servants-20-per-cent-salary-increase/">offered US$100 to workers across the board,</a> but they say the increment was too insignificant. Some teachers, about 90 per cent of all teachers, according to the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Progressive_Teachers_Union_of_Zimbabwe">Progressive Teachers’ Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ)</a>, <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/02/10/salary-industrial-action-government-suspends-striking-teachers-without-pay/">have since been suspended for three months without pay</a> for refusing to go to work.
Commenting on the impasse, Tanya Muzinda, now based in the United States, says the government should fund the education sector. She said:
<blockquote>
Government is not sincere in educating its children. Schools where not closed because of Covid it was an excuse to delay the inevitable, the sector is incapacitated. Instead of suspending teachers, Government must suspend corruption for three months. Fund the education sector Now!!!
</blockquote>
Some said Tanya was talking sense and urged the whole nation to rally behind the teachers.
Some said parents should ditch government schools and go for private-owned ones as ignorance is more expensive than fees paid in private schools.
 Private schools are more expensive than government schools, something that has been keeping cash-strapped parents from sending their kids to better schools.

Government Is Not Sincere In Educating Its Children - Tanya Muzinda

<h2>PREAMBLE: ZIMBABWE EVENING WEATHER REPORT AND FORECAST ISSUED AT 1600 HRS ON MONDAY 14 FEBRUARY 2022 VALID UNTIL WEDNESDAY 16 FEBRUARY 2022.</h2>
Mostly sunny and warm conditions were experienced across much of the country yesterday. This morning it was brief cloudy and mild over the northern parts of Mashonaland West and Central Provinces.
<h2>FORECAST FOR TOMORROW TUESDAY 15 FEBRUARY 2022 </h2>
It should be mostly cloudy and warm with isolated thunderstorms over parts of Mashonaland West and Central Provinces. Localised heavier downpours are probable. Cloudy and windy conditions with patchy rain and drizzle conditions are anticipated in Matabeleland South, Masvingo and Manicaland Provinces. The rest of the country should be mostly sunny and warm with a chance of an odd shower in places.
<h2>IMPACTS</h2>
<blockquote>
• Thunder and Lightning may affect your plans, please plan with the weather in mind. 
• Lightning may still strike from a distant cloud, even when the sky overhead is clear. 
• Localized heavy rains remain a potential, these may result in flash flooding in areas with poor drainage or impervious surfaces. 
• Some local dams have filled, any excess rainwater may lead to over-spilling, and downstream flooding.
</blockquote>
<h2>ACTIONS TO TAKE</h2>
<blockquote>
• When thunder roars, it is best to be indoors. If outdoors please find shelter immediately; do not shelter under trees or in an isolated shed. 
• Do not cross flooded rivers and swollen streams whether on foot or in a vehicle as just 30cm of flowing water is enough to sweep away a vehicle. 
• Avoid driving on a road covered by water especially at night or during downpours when it is more difficult to recognize flood dangers.
