The opposition MDC-T has warned that those in power should lead with restraint and honour because they will lose power one day. The MDC-T gave the example of Mandi Chimene, the former minister of state for Manicaland Province, who is reported to have fled to Burundi, after the fall of former president Robert Mugabe and the ascendancy of President Emmerson Mnangagwa. The opposition claimed that it had previously warned Chimene, but she ignored their advice acting like she was intoxicated.
MDC-T Manicaland provincial spokesperson Trevor Saruwaka said:
<blockquote>When people are in power they should remember one day they will wake up out of power, hence, they must lead with honour and restraint. She (Chimene) went overboard like someone who was intoxicated. Now she is out of power reality has dawned on her.
Remember she (Chimene) is someone who was used to claiming that she was a powerful war veteran. So she should come back to Zimbabwe and enjoy her freedoms. Why is she running away? We used to tell her that there is no freedom in Zimbabwe and she was scornful.
No one should apologise for expressing different views. So all these G40 members who have been apologising, they should stop and come and join us and fight for our freedoms.</blockquote>

Those In Power Should Remember That They Will Wake Up Without Power One Day: MDC Comments On Chimene

Addressing an extraordinary provincial co-ordination committee meeting in Mutare yesterday, Manicaland Provincial Affairs minister Mandi Chimene claimed credit for exposing former Vice-President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s Tsholotsho Declaration.
The Tsholotsho Declaration is believed to have been a succession plan to get Mnangagwa into power after President Robert Mugabe. Said Chimene:
<blockquote>I blew up the Tsholotsho coup. I want to tell you for the first time, on the day in question, they kept on calling me asking where I was and I kept telling them I was coming. When I indicated that I was on the road, they said they were flying to Tsholotsho, and I did not go</blockquote>

While officiating at the rebranding of Amber Hotel to Holiday Inn Mutare, Manicaland Provincial Affairs minister Mandi Chimene urged hotel operators to lie that Zimbabwean tourist Zayd Dada, who mysteriously disappeared on Inyangani Mountain on January 4, 2014 will return as a marketing tool.
Said Chimene:
<blockquote>We can attract tourists by using the story of that Indian tourist (Dada). Most tourists don’t believe what happened. We will just tell them where he was when he disappeared and we will say to them that he is coming back one day. I know some of them (tourists) will wait for him to meet them. We need strategies if we are going to survive in this industry. This world is so cruel, so we need to be aggressive in our marketing. Nothing will come on a silver platter.</blockquote>
Dada disappeared in the company of his wife, Neelam, and another couple as they attempted to climb the mountain.

War Veterans Minister Tshinga Dube took a swipe at Manicaland Provincial Affairs minister Mandi Chimene and accused her of leading genuine war veterans when she did not fight in the Second Chimurenga.
Said Dube:
<blockquote>There are some people who are leading war veterans, yet they never participated in the war. If you ask them where they operated from, you hear so many stories. How can you lead war veterans when you are not one of them? You should tell us where you operated during the struggle.</blockquote>

Dube takes a swipe at Mandi Chimene, accuses her of lying of being a war veteran

G40-aligned war veterans’ self-proclaimed leader and Manicaland Provincial Affairs minister Mandi Chimene has called for War Veterans minister Tshinga Dube to be dismissed for urging President Robert Mugabe to groom a successor to avoid the likelihood of chaos.
However, Chimene is against the idea. Said Chimene:
<blockquote>The President is still there, who is he (Dube) to tell him (Mugabe) to choose a successor. Here is the constitution of the party, I have gone through it and there is nowhere in this document where it is written that the President should choose his successor. This post (Minister of War Veterans) needs cleansing. Anyone who lands it starts to behave like his predecessor. We thought Dube was better, but we were wrong.</blockquote>

Manicaland Provincial Affairs Minister Mandi Chimene has claimed that the relatives of the late retired Justice Simpson Victor Mutambanengwe were unhappy that the Zanu-PF politburo had denied him national hero status. According to Chimene, the relatives verbally abused her at Mutambabenengwe’s burial on Saturday following comments she had made.
Addressing a Zanu PF interdistrict youth meeting at Mary Mount Teachers’ College in Mutare on Sunday,m Chimene said:
<blockquote>Yesterday (Saturday), I went to bury someone, who was not declared a national hero. I told mourners that there might be something he did wrong, I was verbally assaulted for that.</blockquote>
Retired High Court judge Justice Simpson Victor Mutambanengwe, was not declared a national hero, although he was accorded a State assisted funeral. Justice Mutambanengwe died in Namibia last week after succumbing to renal failure. He was 87. He was buried at Dambakurimwa Farm in Zimunya, Mutare.

Sendekera Farm which belongs to Manicaland Provincial Affairs Minister Mandi Chimene is set to partitioned into residential stands for Mutare city. Chimene allegedly seized Fairholme Farm from a white farmer during the land reform programme and renamed it. The farm falls under Mutasa Rural District Council and is set to be divided into a residential suburb.
Speaking to the Financial Gazette, Chimene said:
<blockquote>Last year, Mutare’s city fathers concluded that Mutare was a land-choked city due to the mountainous terrain and they were in the hunt for land from government. The city master plan seeks to establish new land in the general western side and the northern side of the city,
I have not partitioned the farm into residential stands. That farm is no longer mine, it now belongs to the City of Mutare and it was included in Mutare’s master plan, which is why you read in the papers that I now have new land in Rusape although I haven’t been given the land, but it is part of the plan.</blockquote>

Headmasters and teachers in Chimanimani district are being forced to pay $1 and $2 each as donations for Minister of State for Manicaland Provincial Affairs Mandi Chimene’s  belated party for civil servants in the district. NewsDay reports that the party which was scheduled for Saturday has been postponed.
In a memo circulated to schools, Chimanimani acting district administrator Taona Nengomasha said:
<blockquote>The Minister of State for Provincial Affairs, Honourable (Mandiitawepi) Chimene, is holding a civil servants’ end-of-year party on March 11, 2017 at Chimanimani Hotel, where she intends to meet and discuss with representatives of various government departments, companies, businesspeople, traditional leaders and non-governmental organisations. It is against (sic) the above belated function that my committee has found it modest that each school head in the district should donate $2 each and $1 each for every teacher that would go a long way in making the event a success.</blockquote>
When contacted by NewsDay, Nengomasha was not available for comment as his mobile phone went unanswered, but acting provincial administrator Edgar Seenza said the meeting had been postponed until further notice.

Speaking at a Zanu PF provincial co-ordinating committee meeting in Mutare on Sunday, Manicaland Provincial Affairs minister Mandiitawepi Chimene said she wanted Zanu PF youths to pay for the stands that are being given to them.
Said Chimene:
<blockquote>There is this issue of stands. You cannot get them now because there are procedures that should be followed. It’s not going to be free land for you, but it might be cheaper. I am disappointed by some of the youths. After slogans, you say we need stands and we also need to do projects to sustain ourselves. l have one for you. We can secure $20 000 loans at local banks without security.</blockquote>
Chimene also dismissed reports that she was obstructing rice distribution in the province before blaming local MPs for failing to collect the grain from the Grain Marketing Board to feed their constituents.

Manicaland Province Minister, <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Mandi_Chimene">Mandi Chimene</a> has dismissed allegations by War Veterans Minister <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Tshinga_Dube">Tshinga Dube </a>that she threatened to beat him before setting a Sangoma on him.
In an interview with NewsDay, Chimene said that the sangoma was a student at Marymount Teachers’ College, whose relatives died during the war. She narrated that the student often comes to war veterans meetings “possessed” by an ancestral spirit, claiming Dube knew the person, as they met in Mozambique during the exhumation of remains of some of the fallen heroes.
Chimene also denied allegations that she leads a faction of the war veterans and said that the reason she wanted Mutsvangwa expelled was because he lacked discipline.

Dube said,
<blockquote>While I was giving my welcoming remarks, she stood up and said she was going to beat me up. I told her if she did that, she would be arrested. This happened in the full view of other dignitaries. So when we were leaving the venue, her sangoma started performing some rituals on me, burping uncontrollably and my wife said I should not respond, but just to tell her (Chimene) to read Psalms 23 vs 1 to 6, which says ‘The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want and so on and so forth’. I looked at this man burping at me pitifully and I said this is the highest level of madness.</blockquote>
However, Defence Minister <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Sydney_Sekeramayi">Sydney Sekeramayi</a> who also attended the same meeting said that he had not seen the traditional healer as the incident happened after he left the venue.
