<h4><strong>Today’s By-elections chocking in the usual malpractice dark hole</strong><br/>
Saturday 9th November 2019</h4>
<p>Just like the 2018 elections, the subsequent by-elections have been marred by serious electoral malpractices. Regrettably, several attempts by the MDC to engage ZEC, have not surprisingly, failed to any positive results.</p>
<p>Indeed, it is evident to the MDC, that both the by-elections in Tsholotsho and Wedza will not be spared.</p>
<p>Tens of letters later, intimidation of voter’s through village heads continue.</p>
<p>A declaration of resettlement areas as no go areas for the MDC continues to stuff outright to campaign as well the right of citizens to make political choices in line with section 67 of the Constitution.</p>
<p>We, therefore, place it on record that the election environment is still characterised by closure of democratic space and abuse of state entities to the benefit of Zanu PF.</p>
<p>ZEC continues to look the other way when complaints are raised.</p>
<p>Clear electoral fraud, bribery and criminal abuse of office by <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Obadiah_Moyo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Obadiah Moyo</strong></a> was ignored, resultantly Zanu PF has found an incentive to continue on that path.</p>
<p>The run-up to today’s by-elections at <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Tsholotsho" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Tsholotsho</strong></a> was full of abuse of State institutions to Zanu PF’s advantage including biased distribution of food aid.</p>
<p>The long and short of it is that the by-election results will, without doubt, reflect a dividend of lack of holistic electoral reform.</p>
<p>ZEC had no capacity to run a credible election. It must be disbanded, reconstituted and allow Zimbabwe to be on a new path towards a cure of the crisis of legitimacy which is causing unpalatable suffering of the masses.</p>
<p>It is no longer an MDC issue, but a national one; electoral reforms are urgent.</p>
<p>This also explains why the MDC, through its RELOAD strategy, is insisting that until comprehensive reforms are conducted; elections results will never be a true reflection of the Zimbabwean voters.</p>

MDC Complains Of Serious Electoral Malpractices {Full Text}

<p>The opposition MDC lost dismally to the ruling ZANU PF party in three ward by-elections held on Saturday, 9 November 2019. Here are the results:</p>
<p><strong>Hwedza Ward 4</strong><br/>
ZANU PF – 875<br/>
MDC Alliance – 65</p>
<p><strong>Tsholotsho Ward 16</strong><br/>
ZANU PF – 623<br/>
MDC Alliance – 147</p>
<p><strong>Tsholotsho Ward 20</strong><br/>
ZANU PF – 414<br/>
MDC Alliance – 21</p>
<p>Writing on microblogging site Twitter, a prominent journalist and government critic, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Hopewell_Chin%27ono" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Hopewell Chin’ono</strong></a>, urged the MDC to establish party structures in rural areas if it ever dreams of governing the country. He wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p>The MDC needs to seriously introspect! They either want to gain power or they want to remain in perpetual opposition!</p>
<p>Elections in rural Zimbabwe are only won through building rural party structures and not here on Twitter. How do you govern when you can’t build structures?</p>
<p>… Why do you think political parties contest elections? To read the bible at Sunday school?</p>
<p>… You either demand REFORMS and stop participating in sham elections or you contest and take responsibly for your losses.</p></blockquote>


MDC Loses In 3 Ward By-elections To ZANU PF

<blockquote><p>The MDC national executive met today for seven hours and spent the better part of the meeting deliberating on the deteriorating situation in the country, particularly the worsening plight of the ordinary citizens. The executive, a key organ of the party, discussed and charted the way forward on the following key national issues.</p>
<p>1.The national situation<br/>
The national executive deliberated on the deteriorating political, economic and social situation in the country. In particular, the executive noted the rising cost of basic commodities as well as the slow genocide in the country’s hospitals, where the illegitimate regime has fired yet another batch of doctors for raising legitimate concerns about their wages and working conditions. They have also raised issues about lack of medicines and other medical consumables to enable them to save lives.</p>
<p>2.Food insecurity<br/>
About 8,5 million people in the country are food insecure and the party noted with serious concern that the illegitimate regime had begun politicizing food in the rural areas. The party resolved to do all within its remit to stop the abuse of a key livelihood issue such as food.</p>
<p>3.Legitimacy crisis<br/>
The executive affirmed that the economic governance crisis in the country and the challenges facing the nation are symptomatic of the legitimacy crisis arising out of the stolen election of 2018. Unless and the until the legitimacy crisis is resolved, there will be no reprieve on the dire national situation as the people running government do not have the requisite confidence and mandate from the people.</p>
<p>The executive noted that the legitimacy crisis has led to the breaking down of the social contact, particularly between the leading and the led.</p>
<p>4.Elections<br/>
The party’s continued participation in by-elections has exposed the dire need for prudent electoral reforms. A compromised election management system, the murkiness around voting material, the abuse of traditional leaders and the use of food as a political weapon continues to be rampant in the countryside, justifying the need for genuine electoral reforms. To this end, the party’s parliamentary caucus will table an alternative Electoral Bill that guarantees the holding of credible and legitimate elections that do not breed contested outcomes.</p>
<p>5.Increasing brutality against citizens and the leadership<br/>
The party noted the increasing brutality against the citizens and the people’s leadership and affirmed that the illegitimate regime of Mr Mnangagwa will not succeed to break the collective spirit of the MDC in prosecuting the democratic struggle. The party stands in solidarity with citizens and leaders that are being persecuted.</p>
<p>The party resolved to set aside a day every year to remember and salute all survivors of political violence, living or dead, who have been victims of State-sanctioned brutality.</p>
<p>6.Parliament<br/>
The party deliberated on developments in the parliament, particularly Zanu PF’s attempt to reverse the democratic gains enshrined in the Constitution. The national executive resolved that the people’s deployed to the August House must use the arena of Parliament to table alternative Bills as well as pro-poor motions that further citizens’ rights, widen democratic space and further the people’s democratic agenda. The party resolved to continue pressing for alignment of laws to the Constitution, and no amendment of the Constitution, itself made and affirmed by the people themselves in a referendum.</p>
<p>7.Dialogue<br/>
The party reiterated its commitment to a sincere, honest and credible dialogue process. The dialogue must unlock the impediments that have stood in the way of credible, free and plebiscites. As such, any honest and credible dialogue process, under a mutually agreed convener, must focus on a comprehensive reform agenda to ensure the security and freedoms of citizens as well as ensuring a free, fair and credible election that must yield a people’s government.</p>
<p>8. Local government<br/>
The executive noted the challenges faced by MDC-led councils and bemoaned the fact that in most of these councils are MDC-led but are not MDC-controlled. Zanu PF has centralized most of the key operations of local authorities, such as procurement. The party noted that Zanu PF has usurped key operations of councils in a manner that has curtailed the autonomy and the full independence of local authorities, in the process grossly interfering with service delivery. The party resolved to continue supporting the local authorities that it runs to ensure that they deliver prudent and affordable services to the people.</p>
<p>9.Resolving the national crisis<br/>
The party resolved to stand on the side of the people. The party will continue mobilizing locally and internationally for a cogent and robust #FreeZimbabwe campaign that must eventually yield a legitimate people’s government.</p>

MDC National Executive Committee Meeting Resolutions {Full Text}

<p>President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s cabinet mini-reshuffle last Friday has been viewed by analysts as an abandonment of the Unity Accord.</p>
<p>For the first time since the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Unity_Accord" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Unity Accord</strong></a> was signed in 1987, there is no former PF ZAPU member representative in the security cluster. Southern Africa Political Economy Series (SAPES) executive director, Ibbo Mandaza, had this to say:</p>
<blockquote><p>They have since forgotten about that. They are now doing as they wish.</p>
<p>There’s no more PF Zapu factor in Zanu PF. They are no longer following that norm.</p></blockquote>
<p>The Unity Accord was an agreement signed between ZANU PF, then led by Robert Mugabe and PF ZANU, then led by Joshua Nkomo on 22 December 1987 to end the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Gukurahundi" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Gukurahundi</strong></a> massacres in the Midlands and Matabeleland provinces.</p>
<p>The Zimbabwe National Army’s (ZNA) North Korean trained <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/5th_Brigade" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>5th Brigade</strong></a> was accused of killing at least 20 000 people, mainly ZAPU supporters.</p>

'Cabinet Reshuffle Shredded The Unity Accord'

<p>President <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Emmerson_Mnangagwa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Emmerson Mnangagwa</strong></a> is mulling making further changes to his cabinet after a mini-reshuffle on Friday, <em>The Standard</em> reports. The second reshuffle will see some ministers being dropped from the cabinet while others will be reassigned.</p>
<p>Last Friday’s mini-reshuffle was meant to pacify Vice President Chiwenga’s supporters as well as to deal with growing concerns in the ruling party that the president had concentrated power in his home province, the Midlands. The publication quotes a party insider as saying:</p>
<blockquote><p>The changes are motivated by the president’s desire to consolidate power and do tribal balancing more than performance.</p>
<p>There are a lot of political reasons why three people from Mashonaland East, Chiwenga’s home province were appointed.</p></blockquote>
<p>Another party insider told <em>The Standard</em> that Mnangagwa has realised that most of the people he had been appointing are from the Midlands and he now wants to decentralise power in preparation for the 2023 elections.</p>
<p>Last week’s reshuffle saw  <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Kazembe_Kazembe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Kazembe Kazembe</strong></a> being appointed as the new Home Affairs minister to replace <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Cain_Mathema" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Cain Mathema</strong></a>, who was moved to the Primary and Secondary Education portfolio, among several other changes.</p>

ED To Make Another Cabinet Reshuffle Soon - REPORT

<p>Prominent journalist, Hopewell Chin’ono says that the Political Dialogue Actors (POLAD) interlocutors have set aside a budget of ZWL$88 million. Writing on Twitter, Chin’ono said:</p>
<blockquote><p>POLAD has set aside a budget of Z$88million. That is 2 years+ of doctors wages! Zimbabwe has 1600 doctors and they are paid Z$2000, which is Z$3,2Million per month.</p>
<p>They have asked for a living wage because they are incapacitated. ED has fired them. POLAD are the NEW LOOTING THIEVES!</p></blockquote>

POLAD Sets Aside ZWL$88 Million Budget - REPORT

<p>The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Republic_Police" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP)</strong></a> has blocked the opposition MDC from holding a district rally in Mabvuku on Sunday.</p>
<p>In a letter addressed to the MDC chairman of Ward 19 in Mabvuku-Tafara, Officer Commanding Police, Harare Suburban District, Chief Superintendent S. Matongo wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>RE: NOTIFICATION TO HOLD A RALLY AT HIGH STREET/MABVUKU PARK ON 10 NOVEMBER 2019</strong></p></blockquote>

<p>The banning of the MDC rally raises several questions, among them; why is the law selectively applied? ZANU PF held an anti-sanctions rally in October in Harare and the ruling party held another rally on Saturday 9 November 2019 in <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Chiredzi" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Chiredzi</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Moreover, the government has told the international community that the repressive law, POSA, has been removed from the statute books yet it is still being used by the police to ban the MDC’s rallies.</p>

Police Blocks MDC From Holding Rally In Mabvuku On November 10

<p>Permanent secretary in the Ministry of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Nick_Mangwana" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Ndavaningi Nick Mangwana</strong></a>, said that President Emmerson Mnangagwa believes that a young leader should succeed him.</p>
<p>Mangwana made the remarks on microblogging site <a href="https://twitter.com/nickmangwana/status/1193147133765046272" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Twitter</strong></a> on Saturday afternoon. He wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p>President Mnangagwa believes that the next President leadership of Zimbabwe should be younger in age compared to the leadership the country has had so far.</p>
<p>It is with this in mind that he has taken the bold step of infusing young leadership in the government as deputies to learn the ropes.</p></blockquote>
<p>President Mnangagwa became head of State in 2017 while he was in his mid-seventies following a military-instigated popular coup that toppled long-time ruler, the late <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Robert_Mugabe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Robert Mugabe</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Mugabe ruled Zimbabwe for 37 years until the coup when he was past 90 years of age. All of Mugabe’s deputies died in office, (apart from Mnangagwa and <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Joice_Mujuru" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Joyce Mujuru</strong></a> who were sacked at the height of ZANU PF factionalism).</p>

<blockquote><p>The MDC is totally unimpressed and unmoved by the Cabinet reshuffle. Worse still, the reshuffle means Zimbabwe now has a useless and expensive bloated Cabinet that will only prove to be a real waste of hard-earned taxpayers money.</p>
<p>It is our strong and unequivocal stance that no matter how many times the Cabinet maybe reshuffled; this will in no way make any difference to end the crisis in Zimbabwe.</p>
<p>Indeed, the crisis in Zimbabwe is much bigger than a mere Cabinet reshuffle.</p>
<p>The crisis in Zimbabwe is clearly a crisis of political legitimacy and continued bad governance as demonstrated by the ever-rising high levels of corruption in the country.</p>
<p>Zimbabwe will remain in perpetual crisis because it has a lack of visionary leadership that is derived from a popular mandate from the long-suffering masses of Zimbabwe.</p>
<p>The people’s party remains clear and resolute in its stance that as long as the head of the Cabinet is not a popularly elected President; no amount of reshuffles will be able to turn the dire Zimbabwean situation around.</p>
<p>In line with its RELOAD strategy document, the MDC is very clear that the first step towards the restoration of normalcy in Zimbabwe will only happen once there is an unconditional acknowledgement that there is real need of a genuine or credible all-inclusive national dialogue facilitated by a neutral convenor.</p>
<p>The same dialogue process must also be able to agree on a transitional mechanism that will facilitate the implementation of comprehensive reforms.</p>
<p>Once this is all done, free and fair elections will then be held, that will enable Zimbabwe to have an undisputed popularly elected President.</p>
<p>As such, unless and until that happens first; no Cabinet reshuffle will be able to end the crisis in Zimbabwe.</p>

FULL LIST: Mnangagwa's Cabinet Gets 6 New Members

<p>Morale within the armed forces is reportedly at a very low ebb due to the negative economic situation that has worsened since a disputed poll in 2018.</p>
<p><em>The Independent</em> reports that there is a high level of restlessness in the rank and file of the armed forces. The publication quotes a senior army official as saying:</p>
<blockquote><p>To tell you the truth, the bosses are edgy. There are fears that if the grievances raised by the restive soldiers are not urgently addressed, the situation could have grave consequences.</p>
<p>In fact, in one of the meetings recently held, one of the senior officers stated that the economic mismanagement by the government was equivalent to <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_African_National_Union_-_Patriotic_Front" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Zanu PF</strong></a> <strong>people digging their political graves using a tablespoon. </strong></p>
<p>Someone then joked that, in fact, they were now digging with a proper shovel. It’s a very delicate situation.</p></blockquote>
<p>The publication reported in February this year that the army’s Directorate of Signals has been receiving alarming situation reports since January when things reportedly started to go bad.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Civil servants are also giving government officials sleepless nights with a protest in Harare on Wednesday blocked by the police and 211 doctors fired on Friday for going on strike.</p>

'ZANU PF People Digging Their Graves Using A Tablespoon'

<p>MDC president <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Nelson_Chamisa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Nelson Chamisa</strong></a> says President <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Emmerson_Mnangagwa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Emmerson Mnangagwa</strong></a> has made Zimbabwe a police state where everyone considered a criminal.</p>
<p>Chamisa condemned Mnangagwa’s “failed leadership” which has resulted in police officers being deployed onto the streets every day. Said Chamisa:</p>
<blockquote><p>The country is now threatened by those in authority. We are in a de facto state of emergency; a de facto police state. Everyone has become a criminal. We cannot have the police every day fighting with the people on the street.</p></blockquote>
<p>Chamisa made the comments on Thursday following the heavy deployment of police in Harare on Wednesday to thwart a demonstration by civil servants.</p>
<p>On Wednesday police barricaded the way to government offices to prevent a group of impoverished civil servants from handing over petitions to their employer.</p>

Chamisa: Zimbabwe Has Been Turned Into A Police State

<p><a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/MDC_Alliance" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>MDC Alliance</strong></a> MPs have been chided for joining the “<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_African_National_Union_-_Patriotic_Front" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>ZANU PF</strong></a> gravy train” and forgetting what they claim to stand for, that is, being pro-poor and keeping the government under check.</p>
<p>Writing for <em>NewsDay</em>, Sibanengi Dube opined that air tickets, five-star hotel rooms, three-course meals, allowances and single malt whiskies seem to have taken precedence on the MDC MPs’ priorities. Wrote Dube:</p>
<blockquote><p>MDC MPs should by now have raised their profiles beyond the seduction of mammon, stipends or allowances.</p>
<p>A $3 200 attendance fee, fuel coupons and air tickets were enough for MDC MPs to throw away their hymn books and start singing Zanu PF tunes.</p></blockquote>

MDC MPs Chided For Joining 'ZANU PF Gravy Train'

<p>Zanu PF National Political Commissar, Victor Matemadanda has advised Western countries to ditch opposition parties saying they were wasting their resources on projects destined to fail.</p>
<p>His remarks come as there are reports suggesting that Western countries have been sponsoring the opposition MDC in a bid to dislodge ZANU PF from power.</p>
<p>Addressing party supporters at a rally to mobilise support for the ZANU PF candidate in the Wedza Rural District Council Ward 4 by-election set for this Saturday, Matemadanda said:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>My advice to the West is that they should not waste their resources supporting losing parties, come and join Zanu PF and have a taste of sweet victory.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Meanwhile, the opposition MDC has often claimed that <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/04/01/chamisa-spokesperson-claims-cowdray-park-by-election-was-rigged/">the ruling ZANU PF does not win elections</a> but <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/08/15/mdc-takes-zec-to-court-over-rigged-lupane-by-elections/">engages in vote-buying</a>, election results manipulation and <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2018/08/09/full-text-election-was-a-mixed-bag-some-were-exposed-to-intimidation-and-threats-zim-human-rights-commission/">intimidation of voters</a>.</p>

FULL THREAD: "We Must Be In This Together," Whites Warned Against Trusting ED

<p>International human rights law expert, Pedzisai Ruhanya, and award-winning journalist and filmmaker, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Hopewell_Chin%27ono" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Hopewell Chin’ono,</strong></a> have responded to being labelled sell-outs by the Zimbabwean government after their dispute with SADC executive secretary Stergomena Lawrence Tax on Twitter.</p>
<p>Deputy Information minister <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Energy_Mutodi" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Energy Mutodi</strong></a> had hit out at the duo for “selling out” in a Twitter post earlier on Thursday. In response, Ruhanya said:</p>
<blockquote><p>You are the biggest loudmouth Energy. I will never sell-out Zimbabwe but won’t be silenced by useless and hopeless wannabes like you Energy. You are not Zimbabwe and Zimbabwe is not ndombolo dance.</p></blockquote>
<p>Chin’ono mocked the government for being obsessed with attacking journalists for simply telling the truth while doctors are not at work and there is no electricity, fuel, water, among other things. He wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p>A government is obsessed with attacking journalists who simply tell them the truth.</p>
<p>Doctors are not at work, no electricity, no fuel, no water, no passports, no jobs and the list goes on.</p>
<p>Yet the first thing that comes up to their minds when they wake up is, Hopewell and Pedzisai?!</p></blockquote>


Chin'ono & Ruhanya Respond To "You're Sell-outs" Jibe

<p>The government has labelled a local journalist <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Hopewell_Chin%27ono" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Hopewell Chin’ono</strong></a> and academic Pedzisai Ruhanya, sell-outs following their fall-out with Executive Secretary of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Stergomena Lawrence Tax on Twitter.</p>
<p>Writing on microblogging site Twitter on Thursday, Deputy Information minister <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Energy_Mutodi" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Energy Mutodi</strong></a> said:</p>
<blockquote><p>The Government of Zimbabwe stands with Dr Tax following her sentiments on sell-outs Hopewell Chin’ono, Pedzisai Ruhanya among others who focus on tarnishing the image of the government.</p>
<p>Sell-outs speak bad about their country, seek to please outsiders and are desperate for attention.</p></blockquote>
<p>Earlier this week, Chin’ono had castigated the Tanzanian President for changing from being a “reformist” to becoming a “hero worshipper”. He also made reference to Lawrence Tax, who is a Tanzanian citizen.</p>
<p>Tax had suggested that Zimbabweans who criticise President Emmerson Mnangagwa do not want to see their country succeed.</p>
<p>Her tweet drew condemnation from Chin’ono, Ruhanya, and <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Tsitsi_Dangarembga" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Tsitsi Dangarembga</strong></a>, among other Zimbabweans.</p>

<p>The Cabinet and the Attorney-General have approved plans to extend indefinitely the women’s quota clause in order to empower women politically.</p>
<p>Legal, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Ziyambi_Ziyambi" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Ziyambi Ziyambi</strong></a>, said that the principles have been approved and are now waiting to be gazetted and debated in Parliament.</p>
<blockquote><p>The principles have already been approved by Cabinet and the Attorney-General.</p>
<p>We are now awaiting gazetting so that they can be debated in Parliament.</p></blockquote>
<p>Clause 124 of the Constitution which deals with the women’s quota, was set to expire at the end of the current parliamentary term in 2023.</p>
<p>The Constitution provides for the equal representation of women in the Legislature through the appointment of 60 non-constituency Members of Parliament.</p>

<p>Veteran MDC supporter, Mbuya Murwira also known as Mai Chipo, of <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Glen_Norah" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Glen Norah</strong></a> has passed away at the age of 90.</p>
<p>MDC president <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Nelson_Chamisa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Nelson Chamisa</strong></a> wrote on microblogging site Twitter:</p>
<blockquote><p>Sad to note the passing on of a veteran in the great Chinja family, Mbuya Murwira (aged 90) or Mai Chipo as they call her in Glen Norah.</p>
<p>She will always remind us that the demand for change is from all ages..and not just the young! This is a people’s struggle!</p>

MDC Loses 90-year-old Veteran Party Supporter

<p>British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s special envoys, Harriet Mathews and Debbie Palmer, told reporters immediately after meeting with President Mnangagwa that they came to Zimbabwe on a fact-finding mission.</p>
<p>Mathews, the director for Africa at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), and Palmer, the director for West and Southern Africa in the Department for International Development (DFID), were accompanied by UK ambassador to Zimbabwe Melanie Robinson.</p>
<p>Matthews told reporters that they will report to Prime Minister Johnson what they discovered in Zimbabwe.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>We are doing this on the political, economic and humanitarian front. The first issue of concern, I think, is a call for a real step towards change and for government to step up in terms of political and economic reforms.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The government also needs to step up and address issues to do with human rights abuses and corruption.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>These remarks come when Zimbabwe is trying to mend relations with the Western state and allies who have asked the country to implement political and economic reforms as a prerequisite.</p>
<p>Zimbabwe is also pushing to be readmitted into the Commonwealth and the UK has a huge say in the matter.</p>

UK Piles Pressure On ED Over Reforms

<p>Chaos has reportedly prevailed in the opposition MDC led by advocate Nelson Chamisa over the intended incorporation of some members of the party into the Bulawayo province executive.</p>
<p>The Chronicle reports that the province is divided between party deputy president, Welshman Ncube’s supporters, Luba Masotsha and others and those of Chamisa, Mr James Sithole and others.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>The party resolved to incorporate 10 members in each of the wings to accommodate members who lost at the provincial congress. Masotsha wanted to go further and incorporate 18 more members and put her people in the top five positions of the province.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Ncube was snubbed by his own province but was nominated elsewhere and was eventually voted the party’s vice president at the Congress.</p>
<p>This comes when there are reports suggesting that <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/11/03/mwonzora-dares-mdc-bigwigs-to-try-it-as-fresh-bid-to-oust-him-thickens/">efforts were being revived to eject Douglas Mwonzora, former Secretary-General of the party.</a></p>

MDC Rocked By Anarchy Over Congress Losers

<p>President Emmerson Mnangagwa has said that minerals in Zimbabwe were the real reason why the international community has sour relations with the Southern African country.</p>
<p>Addressing delegates at the inaugural Artisanal and Small-Scale Miners Conference organised by the Zimbabwe Miners’ Federation (ZMF) in Gweru, Mnangagwa said:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>This country, which is between Zambezi and Limpopo rivers, is so blessed. We are rich in minerals; we have a number of minerals including rare earth minerals.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Only China is the second country to have rare earth minerals. But being rich in these minerals is the reason why we are in serious trouble with our detractors.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>The president’s remarks come immediately after the country embarked on an anti-sanctions march which was hugely criticised by the Western Community who argue that sanctions can only be removed after the government has implemented reforms.</p>
<p>The ZANU PF government argues that the sanctions and other restrictions on the country were a strategy by the Western states, including the USA and the UK to corner Zimbabwe into surrendering her resources including land.</p>
