<p>The Zimbabwe Republic Police have blocked the Hope of the Nation Address (HONA) which the opposition MDC leader, Nelson Chamisa intended to deliver this Wednesday.</p>
<p>The police cited that they feared that the gathering would degenerate into chaos hence the need to block it. In a letter written to the MDC, the police said:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>As discussed in a consultation meeting on November 15, 2019, in my office, I am not in a position to sanction the event due to the following reasons. </strong></p>
<p><strong>The current situation in the CBD is volatile, the volume of both human and traffic has tremendously increased as we approach the festive season coupled with the payment of bonuses to government workers. </strong></p>
<p><strong>For this reason, the chances that your intended gathering will be taken advantage of by some rogue elements are very high.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Despite the MDC assurance that its demonstrations would be as peaceful as a church service, the state has so far blocked a number of MDC demonstrations saying that they had gathered “concrete evidence” suggesting that they all would degenerate into anarchy.</p>
<p>The MDC and other civic organisations intended to embark on a spate of marches over the deteriorating state of affairs.</p>

Police Block Chamisa's Wednesday Africa Unity Square "Hope Of The Nation Address"

<p>President <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Emmerson_Mnangagwa">Emmerson Mnangagwa</a> has said that there have been significant changes in Zimbabwe since his ascendancy to power.</p>
<p>He speaks two years after Zimbabweans marched on November 18th, 2017, during the military assisted transition which resulted in the demise of Zimbabwe’s founding leader, the late former president Robert Mugabe.</p>
<p>ED, as Mnangagwa is popularly known claims that he ushered in a new era characterised by a new way of doing things.</p>
<p>Among other things, he mentioned that criticism of the presidency, which was a taboo during Mugabe’s era, is now permissible. He added:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>We immediately went into an election, in which opposition parties were free to campaign wherever, whenever and however they liked. Even when I narrowly survived the Bulawayo bombing attack weeks before the election, nothing changed. The campaign continued unimpeded.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>He added that his administration will continue implementing political and legislative reforms to enhance democracy in Zimbabwe.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the opposition MDC, some civic groups and some members of the international community have observed a few changes and a lot of similarities between Mugabe’s and Mnangagwa’s governance strategies saying that there was a continuation of human rights violations by the current government.</p>
<p>Economic deterioration is another development which attracted public anger.</p>

"How Zimbabwe Has Changed Since I Became President," ED

<p>MDC-T vice president <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Obert_Gutu" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Obert Gutu</strong></a> said the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Political_Actors_Dialogue" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Political Actors Dialogue (POLAD)</strong></a> will get to the bottom of the corruption ruining the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/National_Social_Security_Authority" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>National Social Security Authority (NSSA</strong></a>).</p>
<p>In an interview with <em>The Herald</em> on Monday, Gutu said it is beyond debate that that NSSA is feeding trough of well-connected political elites. He said:</p>
<blockquote><p>Surely, something has got to give because this is utterly and totally unacceptable.</p>
<p>What has happened to the NSSA forensic audit? Why is it taking forever to arrest and prosecute the culprits who looted NSSA fund?</p>
<p>For as long as the crooks and criminals who looted NSSA continue to be scot-free, then we haven’t even started fighting corruption in Zimbabwe.</p></blockquote>
<p>NSSA’s forensic audit report which was tabled in Parliament in August revealed that the authority had been prejudiced of over US$175 million.</p>
<p>Furthermore, housing contracts awarded to undeserving companies have potentially prejudiced NSSA of US$104 million.</p>

<p>South Africa’s International Relations Minister Naledi Pandor said that political polarisation in Zimbabwe is stifling progress in the country.</p>
<p>Speaking on Monday at a meeting at UNISA on South Africa’s role in Zimbabwe, attended by diplomats and academics, Pandor called the Zimbabwean situation “one of the most challenging” economic situations in Southern Africa. She said:</p>
<blockquote><p>As the department, we have some appreciation of the nature of the challenges and the various economic and social imperatives.</p>
<p>By all accounts, there are serious and seemingly intractable political factors that might need attention if solutions are to be effective or implementable.</p>
<p>The political formations in Zimbabwe remain at loggerheads and have apparent deep antipathy toward each other which makes joint decision making and planning extremely difficult.</p></blockquote>
<p>Zimbabwe has not yet moved away from the disputed 2018 presidential election, with opposition MDC presidential candidate <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Nelson_Chamisa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Nelson Chamisa</strong></a> claiming that the vote was rigged.</p>
<p>The polarization has been exacerbated by the police and courts’ tendency to ban the MDC’s meetings and planned marches while the ruling <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_African_National_Union_-_Patriotic_Front" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>ZANU PF</strong></a> party is allowed to do whatever it pleases.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Nelson_Chamisa">youthful MDC leader</a> in an interview with the Daily News has revealed that he met with ED’s confidant and godfather Bishop <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Nehemiah_Mutendi">Nehemiah Mutendi</a>. Chamisa reportedly spoke his mind and told the Bishop what needs to be done by who for the country to move forward.</p>
<p>Speaking to the publication the advocate said:</p>
<blockquote><p>I told Bishop Mutendi that Mnangagwa must stop seeing the MDC as an enemy. The MDC is not a fly-by-night party . . . it’s a party of the infrastructure of politics in the country and must be respected in that regard. Mnangagwa is not helping anything by disfiguring the MDC. That doesn’t help at all. We are saying . . . we are open to frank and open discussions with Mnangagwa. We have said this openly, but they can’t prescribe the parameters of dialogue.</p>
<p>I told Bishop Mutendi that we are willing to talk to Mnangagwa anytime. I impressed upon him that he (Mutendi) should give Mnangagwa sound advice.This country lacks a nation builder because Mnangagwa is acting like a party leader. The nation needs a father, but we have none. I also told the bishop that churches must continue to pray for the country so that we get out of the current crisis.</p></blockquote>
<p>Dialogue calls between the 2 parties have been made by various stakeholders however the 2 men in question are yet to make efforts to meet for what Chamisa calls a “genuine dialogue”</p>

Togarepi called the legislators greedy as he says they only went to Vic Falls for the allowances.</p>
<p>Speaking to ZimMorning Post<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Pupurai_Togarepi"> Togarepi</a> said:</p>
<blockquote><p>They flew to Victoria Falls for the budget seminar, they were there for allowances not for the people, they are like baboons and monkeys that only want to benefit where they did not sow</p>
<p>They do not want to recognise President Mnangagwa but they do recognise perks which are approved by His Excellency, President Mnangagwa is legitimate to them when it suits their stomachs and pockets but when it comes to national development and the People of Zimbabwe he is not</p>
<p>Their monkey and baboon behaviour should not be tolerated especially coming from people who purport to represent the people, these guys actually represents their pockets and stomachs</p></blockquote>

MDC MPs Are Like Baboons And Monkeys That Only Want To Benefit Where They Did Not Sow - Togarepi

<p>In a move that some have called “sucking up to the army” treasury’s single biggest allocation in the 2020 Budget was to the army The Insider reports. The Ministry of defence and war vets got $3.1 Billion and the publication quoted the treasury boss to have said he had to <em>“prioritise allocations and disbursements to the security sector</em>”.</p>
<p>Some analysts who spoke to the publication had this to say about Mthuli giving billions to the defence ministry:</p>
<blockquote><p>When it comes to the army and war vets, it’s all about the President’s power retention. Remember these two groups have dislodged a sitting president in the past. If not prioritised they are a danger to Mnangagwa, –<em> UZ’s <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/William_Mpofu">William Mpofu</a> </em></p>
<p>You can’t starve your boss. That’s the unwritten rule in military states. A happy army is a cushion for rulers, especially in a country where there has been a fresh coup – <em>Innocent Ncube</em></p></blockquote>
<p>The defence ministry’s sizable allocation came a few days after the defence minister <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Oppah_Muchinguri">Oppah Muchinguri</a> reportedly warned the govt not to take “this peace for granted” according to the publication.</p>

"His Ideas Would Be Very Helpful Today," Father Mukonori Bemoans Mugabe's Failure To Write

<p>The permanent secretary in the Information, Broadcasting and Media Services ministry, Nick Mangwana, has said that President Emmerson Mnangagwa had a “clear succession plan”.</p>
<p>Mangwana told the Daily News that Mnangagwa was planning to hand over power to a young leader, but not now. He added that Mnangagwa’s recent Cabinet reshuffle was informed by the need to groom young people for the most powerful post in the land. Mangwana said:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>He promised the youth that there would be more young people in his government.</strong></p>
<p><strong>But when we talk about his successor it is not about now. Like in any other organisation, a succession plan is a full schedule and the president is infusing youths for them to learn leadership.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>This comes amid reports that factionalism is prevalent in the ruling ZANU PF as remnants of the Generation 40 (G40) faction are allegedly pushing to dislodge Mnangagwa from power.</p>
<p>Some also argue that Mnangagwa’s <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/11/15/top-zanu-pf-officials-not-impressed-by-eds-cabinet-reshuffle-report/">Cabinet reshuffle was meant for ethnic balancing</a> as some ethnic groups, particularly the Zezurus were reportedly complaining about little representation in the government.</p>

<p>It is however surprising considering that the state has recently <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/11/16/police-block-yet-another-mdc-rally/">banned two of the party’s rallies within one week including the Domboshava</a> rally that was scheduled for this weekend.</p>

Prof Jonathan Moyo Narrates How He Skipped The Country

<p>The opposition MDC led by Nelson Chamisa has said that participating in elections presided over by the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) which they accuse of being biased in favour of the ruling ZANU PF was strategic.</p>
<p>Speaking in an interview with Daily News reporter, Blessing Mashaya, MDC Secretary for Elections, Jacob Mafume said:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>We continue to participate to expose the chaos and bias in Zec, its incapacity to run a credible election and its unwillingness to implement recommendations of the 2018 observer missions.</strong></p>
<p><strong>To date, they have not released the 2018 election report as required by law, neither have they done so for subsequent by-elections.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Earlier this year, Chamisa announced that <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/07/11/chamisa-mocked-for-there-will-be-no-elections-under-current-zec-remarks/">the party would no longer be participating in the ZEC-run elections if the commission was not dissolved.</a></p>
<p>The party accuses ZEC of having connived with the ruling ZANU PF to manipulate the 2018 presidential elections in favour of the ZANU PF’s candidate President Emmerson Mnangagwa.</p>

MDC Reveals Why They're Still Participating In ZEC-Run Elections

<p>Advocate Jacob Mafume, the Secretary for Elections in the opposition MDC led by advocate Nelson Chamisa has said that the ongoing by-elections do not reflect the will of the electorate as they are being manipulated by the ruling ZANU PF.</p>
<p>His remarks come when the MDC has lost almost all Parliamentary and Council by-elections held countrywide since the 2018 elections.</p>
<p>Responding to a question by Daily News’ Blessings Mashaya on the reasons why the party was losing in the by-elections, Mafume said that they did not lose, but Zanu PF retained its seats in those areas.</p>
<p>He added that ZANU PF had captured the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC), security sector and traditional leaders to influence the results of the elections. He added:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>This is democracy under threat and the principle of one man, one vote is under siege. Headmen are being used to shepherd villagers to polling stations, some even have the guts to be Zanu PF polling agents.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Then there is the issue of food aid and the role traditional leaders are playing in partisan distribution. It’s now a choice between starvation and democratic rights as opposed to Zanu PF vs MDC.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>He said that the party will push for electoral reforms.</p>

MDC: "The Electorate Is Not Choosing Between ZANU PF Or MDC In By-Elections"

<p>The Bulawayo City Council has appointed a caretaker councillor to take care of fired Deputy mayor Tinashe Kambarani’s ward three in Bulawayo Sunday News reports.</p>
<p>A report seen by the publication talks about a Mr Chigora temporarily assuming Kambarami’s duties till his appeal at the High Court is finalised. The report reads in part according to Sunday News:</p>
<blockquote><p>On the issue of a caretaker councillor for Ward Three, the committee supported the idea of Clr Silas Chigora (Ward Four) to be requested and appointed to take care of issues relating to Ward Three until the conclusion of the case involving Kambarami</p></blockquote>
<p>Kambarami’s councillorship was <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/08/29/just-in-high-court-reverses-kambaramis-election-as-bulawayo-deputy-mayor/">nullified after it emerged he was convicted of petty theft last year before the elections.</a></p>

<p>Some Matabeleland Chiefs, believed to be ED’s sympathisers have voted for the removal of controversial govt critic <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Chief_Ndiweni">Chief Nhlanhlayamangwe Ndiweni</a> from office VOA reports.</p>
<p>The publication spoke to some Chiefs who wanted to remain anonymous from <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Binga">Binga</a> and Mat North who moved that the chief must be removed and were backed by others believed to be the president’s sympathisers.</p>
<p>However, some chiefs were adamant that the traditional leader is going nowhere. A chief who was qouted by the publication said:</p>
<blockquote><p>We want to be very clear on this issue … Ndiweni is not stepping down. The people who moved this motion don’t understand how we chose chiefs. They are government lapdogs. We can’t sit back and think things are normal. Ndiweni is being targeted by the government for being open-minded. Nothing else.</p>
<p>This is a big disgrace. We the Ngunis know that Ndiweni’s family chose him as heir to the throne. It’s only the Ndiweni family members who can do this. We know that some politicians is behind this.</p></blockquote>
<p>Chief Ndiweni <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/08/28/just-in-chief-ndiweni-freed-on-500-bail/">was recently released from prison on bail after he was convicted of destroying one of his subjects’ property together with his 22 subjects</a>.</p>

FULL TEXT: MDC Announces The Death Of Cllr Masunda

<p>The former ambassador of the African Union (AU) to the United States, Arikana Chihombori-Quao has spoken after she was recalled by the current chairperson of the AU for reportedly exposing France’s continued colonisation of Africa through its Pact for the continued colonisation of Africa.</p>
<p>She said that France is collecting US$500 billion every year from its former African colonies. She added that France’s conduct was a violation of human rights which should be condemned by every progressive organisation and she marvels at the silence of the United Nations and the international community.</p>
<p>She also links the poverty in Africa to the 1884 Berlin Conference. Watch the video below.</p>

PICTURES: Zimbabweans Demonstrate Against ED During Warriors-Botswana Match

<p>The president has said he is appalled and concerned by funds mismanagement and corruption by local authorities officials, the Herald reports.</p>
<p>ED was speaking at the Urban Councils Association of Zimbabwe (UCAZ) when he said:</p>
<blockquote><p>I am concerned by appalling levels of corruption and mismanagement of public funds and properties by both councillors and council officials who play hide-and-seek with Government officials in the process of financial management.Those who are prone to corruption, the sun is setting. As public servants, your duty is to protect such public assets in your local authorities for the improvement of the welfare of your communities.</p>
<p>I exhort you to guard against putting self-interests ahead of serving the electorate and those who engage in corrupt activities shall be punished. Forewarned is forearmed. You must monitor the activities of your fellow councillors and council officials in order to get rid of councils and indeed our society of this cancer of corruption</p></blockquote>
<p>The President dissolved the old ZACC and set up a new commission headed by foreign affairs Minister’s wife J<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Loice_Matanda-Moyo">ustice Loice Matanda Moyo. </a></p>

ED Says He Is Appalled By The Corruption At City Councils, Promises To Punish Corrupt Council Officials

<p>Former ZANU PF Mashonaland West chairperson <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Temba_Mliswa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Temba Mliswa</strong></a> has chided Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema for meddling in Zimbabwe’s internal affairs after the latter urged the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Government_of_Zimbabwe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>government of Zimbabwe</strong></a> to allow exiled <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/G40_(Zanu-PF_Faction)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>G40</strong></a> politicians to return home.</p>
<p>The Norton legislator said Malema should come out clean if he has decided to be the G40’s foreign public relations manager. Said Mliswa:</p>
<blockquote><p>We do not need him to mediate in matters which are before the courts in this country. May he stick to his principles of being an Honourable Member of Parliament who fights corruption in his country and allow us to fight corruption in this country.</p>
<p>If he has decided to be an external affairs officer for the G40 then he must come out in the clean.</p></blockquote>
<p>Earlier this week, Malema told the South African Parliament that he was willing to mediate between President Emmerson Mnangagwa and the G40 faction, most of whose members are living in South Africa.</p>
<p>The controversial EFF leader also castigated the Zimbabwean government for allegedly persecuting Grace Mugabe, the widow of the late former President Robert Mugabe.</p>

'Malema Should Come Out Clean If He's Now G40's External Affairs Officer'

<p>Former vice president Joice Mujuru on Thursday refuted claims that she was offered her job back by President Emmerson Mnangagwa to replace the indisposed <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Constantino_Chiwenga" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Constantino Chiwenga</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Mujuru asserted that former minister <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Jonathan_Moyo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Jonathan Moyo</strong></a>, who used Twitter to make the claims, was “surely misinformed”. Moyo however, maintained his position, writing:</p>
<blockquote><p>There’s no need to push the envelope here unless it becomes necessary. I understand your position. It’s too early to come out. But it’s a known fact that the two of you met recently and that he sorted your pension issues out, before making the offer.</p></blockquote>
<p>Moyo further claimed that the process of Mnangagwa’s ascendancy started in 2004, got nasty in 2008, cost <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Solomon_Mujuru" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Solomon Mujuru’s</strong></a> life in 2011 and ended with Joice’s ouster as VP in Dec 2014.</p>
<p>Mujuru was fired from her position as vice president by then President Robert Mugabe in December 2014. Mnangagwa, Grace Mugabe, military and top party leaders including Moyo coalesced against Mujuru and her Gamatox allies leading to their ouster from ZANU PF.</p>
